The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 213 Do I Address Uncle Elias as Daddy From Now On?

When Jack turned his head, he saw that the duo had returned home together.

Elias was stoic, whereas Stephanie had a long face. It was obvious that she was furious with Jack.

“Dad, did you ask Elias to bring me back?!”

Even though Stephanie had long guessed it, she still wanted to hear the answer from the horse’s mouth.

Jack nodded upon hearing that. “Obviously. Was I supposed to watch you elope with that poor boy? I’ll have you know that from today onward, you are grounded to prepare for the engagement ceremony next month. Just watch me break your legs if you dare to leave the house!”

“Dad, you are being unreasonable! I’m also telling you right now that I won’t get married if my partner is not Crisp! I—”

Stephanie had once again lost control of herself and expressed her true thoughts.

With that, she planned to head upstairs.

Jack could see that the two youngsters seemed to have a secret, so he narrowed his eyes and boomed at his daughter. “Stop right there! What was it that you wanted to say just now?”

“I wasn’t trying to say anything. I’m only begging for you to spare Crisp, or I’ll make sure the ceremony doesn’t go smoothly. You know what I’m capable of!”

At that, Stephanie turned and headed upstairs without a backward glance, leaving the rest to Elias to explain to Jack.

She was dumbfounded when Elias told her of his plans while they were on the road earlier. For the time being, she would regard him as a scheming man because no one was as shrewd as her father.

Presently, Jack looked at Elias. “What is the meaning of this?”
