The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 360 Obvious Flaws Abound

The middle-aged man was startled and speechless. He couldn’t help shifting his gaze to Crispin, and Amanda and Elias caught their interaction.

Before they could speak up, Crispin scolded the man, saying, “Miss Bailey and Mr. Winters are asking you questions. Why are you looking at me? What are you trying to do, frame.

me?!”

Upon hearing the clear hint, the middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head, appearing meek and honest as if even telling a lie required much thought.

“Speak! Now!” Elias looked at the man. He never paid much attention to the gardener the few times he visited the Allegra Villa, but never did he think the man had such audacity to do something like that.

Still, the middle-aged man continued to kneel with his hands on his knees, nervously stroking his pants as he was clearly flustered.

No… Someone like him couldn’t possibly have come up with such an elaborate plan and even accurately shift the blame onto me, Elias mused. What’s more, this man has no connections to spread false rumors to me. If it weren’t that someone had told me Amanda would also be at the event, I wouldn’t have gone to Cloudview Hotel at all!

Amanda, too, wanted to know the entire process of how the middle-aged man committed the crime.

Crispin, on the other hand, was actually freaking out despite his calm demeanor. He feared the man would slip up and implicate him.

“I-I planned it f-for a long time,” said the middle-aged man as he stammered. “As such, everything went smoothly that day. I used a virtual number online to text Miss Stephanie, luring her to the hotel. It was all in the dark, so she didn’t see who I was. I left before she woke up, and I deleted the text messages from her phone before I left. I also bribed the waiter, asking him to tell Miss Stephanie that the meal was sent by Mr. Winters. That’s it. I thought I could get away with it, but I never knew…”

There was no need to say the rest, for everyone already knew. However, Amanda still expressed her doubts, asking, “So, were you the one who spread the false information to Elias? Were you so sure that he would attend the event at Cloudview Hotel?”
