The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 329 I Really Will Bite You

Meanwhile, Rosie was having dinner alone because she had no one to dine with her. Poking in boredom at the food in her bowl, she asked the maid next to her, “What kind of dinner party are they having over there? Why can’t I be a part of it?”

The maid replied, “It seems that somebody from the Allegra Family has come over to see Mr. Aiden. That’s why they’re having dinner together.”

“The Allegra Family? You mean Jack Allegra?”

“Yes, it’s him.”

Rosie had absolutely no idea about the cause and effect behind this. Puzzled, she asked, “Is Jack Allegra on such good terms with the Winterses? Why would he come over to see that little brat? What does that boy have to do with him?” The Jack Allegra she remembered wasn’t a kind and amiable person; he was calculating in every way and as treacherous and cunning as a fox.

Glancing behind her to ensure no one was around, the maid whispered, “I listened for at moment just now. Miss Bailey seems to be a daughter of the Allegra Family, and they’re discussing which day to announce it to the public.”

Rosie nearly jumped to her feet in shock. “What?! What did you say?! How could Amanda Bailey be a daughter of the Allegra Family?!” Amanda Bailey is the Allegra Family’s daughter? Isn’t she the daughter of that penniless gambler? How could she be the Allegra Family’s heiress? I remember that Stephanie Allegra, the heiress of the Allegra Family, is still in school. How could she have already given birth to a child?

The maid shook her head. “I don’t know the details, but from what they were saying, it didn’t sound like a joke. That would explain why the Allegras came to see Mr. Aiden. If Miss Bailey is indeed their daughter, Mr. Aiden would be their grandson.”

All of a sudden, Rosie felt somewhat panicked. Her biggest source of pride had been her family background, which matched that of Elias perfectly, while Amanda was just a slum- born ugly duckling who wasn’t even good enough to stand by his side. If Amanda is really a daughter of the Allegra Family, her family would be of a higher class than mine! Wouldn’t that make her and Eli a perfect match made in heaven? She stood frozen in place, unable to come to her senses for a long time. Didn’t God make me a bone marrow match for that little brat to help me? Why would He give that temptress such a big surprise?

After dinner, the Allegras sat in the garden for a long while before leaving.
