Chapter 231 A Witness

Northern No. 1.

Amanda was not feeling happy because Stephanie came to ask about her salary.

She was close to laughing in anger because Stephanie was an interesting person who always askedwhat to do. Doesn’t she know that Elias doesn’t care about my feelings at all?

“Why isn’t Aiden back…” Selina glanced at the clock and figured that Aiden should be back by now,

Only did Amanda realize that Selina didn’t pick Aiden up from school.

“Why didn’t you pick him up from school? It’s been hours since school ended, no? Amanda couldn’thelp

but ask.

Selina answered, “About that… I forgot to inform you that Mr. Winters called to inform you that he’ll pickAiden up from school and bring him out for a meal before sending him home.”

“Ah… He still wants to pretend that he’s showering the child with love while his fiancée harasses me.Geez! He is pretending to be a good father when he’s merely being hypocritical.”

“So, the girl who came today is Mr. Winters’ fiancée? She actually came to provoke you? Is she out ofher mind?!”

“Otherwise?”

The doorbell rang at that point.

Amanda wanted to open the door, so she went to the entrance, only to see from the video doorbell thatElias was carrying Aiden in his arms. They looked like a loving father-son duo, but the man was aboutto be engaged at the end of the month, which made the situation really ironic.

She opened the door stoically, after which Aiden happily called out, “Mommy! I had a lobster! It was sohuge!”

She perfunctorily smiled in response. “Mhm, Hurry up to have a shower and sleep, or you won’t be ableto wake up on time tomorrow.”

The man put the child down, after which Aiden ran like a horse into the house as he couldn’t wait toshare his interesting stories with Selina.

Amanda glanced at the child behind her and turned toward the man coldly. “Thanks. You can leave. Ifyou are busy tomorrow, you don’t have to pick him up from school. I’m free these days.

The moment she closed the door, she heard Elias saying, “I will be sending him to school every dayfrom

now on.”

The door then slammed with a bang while Amanda sneered.

Outside the door was Elias, who looked at the closed door, feeling lost.

His phone vibrated at this time.

He looked at it and noticed that it was Jack calling him. He couldn’t help frowning as a look of irritationappeared between hus brows. However, he still answered the phone

Mr. Allegra

Flias come over tomorrow to have your measurements taken with Steph. I’ve found a designer tocustom-make the attire for you. Don’t be late, as it’s not easy to schedule an appointment with thisdesigner

“Right I got it’

“Bring your mom over as well so that both families can have a meal together. It seems that only yourmom can be a witness to your happy day.”

Elias frowned in displeasure as it felt satirical since there was no one else in his family.

In actual fact, the Winters Family still consisted of his mother, who was the evil elder of the house, asboth his grandfather and father were deceased

“Mr. Allegra, I’ll make my own decisions. There’s no need to look for my mother. I’m now the person incharge of the Winters Family, so I have the final say on everyt

“An elder would still need to attend the ceremony as a witness, though. After all, marriage is a matterbetween two families. I really hope your mother can attend the engagement ceremony.”

Elias started to feel irritated when he replied, “You are making things difficult for me, Mr. Allegra. Youknow that my father and grandfather passed away one after another, and my mother’s not in a goodstate of health. If you insist on inviting her, then please look for her in the nursing home yourself. I’mguessing that she won’t want to see me now since she will lose her sanity if she sees me”

On the other end of the line, Jack fell silent. He merely thought that it would make things more formal ilElias’ mother could attend the ceremony, but since she was insane, he had no choice but to strikedown that idea. Otherwise, if she threw a fit at the engagement ceremony, both families would surelybe the joke

of the town.

“Do as you please, then, considering that you are the person in charge now?”

“Yeah”

Elias was suddenly upset after the phone call. He looked up at the closed door in front of him andturned to walk toward the elevators.

He had barely taken two steps when his phone rang again, but it was his grandfather’s butler, BorisJones, calling.

He could even guess what Boris wanted to say. The butler surely suspected that Amanda wasHoward’s murderer and wanted Elias to investigate the old man’s death.

Elias never doubted Amanda in this matter and also felt that she had no reason to harm Howard, whichwas why Boris’ insistence started to make his head ache.

On the one hand, Boris had been his grandfather’s butler for years, so it could be said that the manwatched Elias grow up. That was the reason why Elias respected Boris a lot.

On the other hand, Boris was also the person whom Howard relied on the most in life, so he couldn’tpossibly lie about matters that involved Howard.

After repeatedly thinking about this, Elias still answered the call.

The moment the call was connected. Boris said, “Mr. Winters, you finally answered my call. I havefound a new witness and would like to schedule a meeting with you. Is that okay?”

Witness?

Now that Elias’ curiosity was successfully aroused, he replied indifferently. “Wait for me in the office.”

Then, he ended the call and entered the elevator.

Over at the president’s office in the Winters Enterprise.

As there were too many things going on lately. Elias had been camping out in the office. So, as soon ashe returned there, he saw Boris leading a woman to the couch in the reception area.

When they heard the sound of the door being opened, they both rose to their feet and called out, “MrWinters.

“Take a seat. Why are you looking for me? What did you mean by a witness in the phone call?”

Elias regarded the woman from head to toe, thinking that she looked extremely familiar. Is she a helperat home?

An emotional Boris explained, “Mr. Winters, I have been investigating what happened on the day thatOld Mr. Winters fell down the stairs. I finally found some clues.”

Elias frowned as he waited for the butler to continue.

“Old Mr. Winters was extremely worried about Aiden’s situation that day,” Boris continued. “So, he wentto the Winters Estate to wait for some news. I heard from the helpers there that he went to yourbedroom, and Miss Bailey emerged. She said that she was looking for him before he was pushed downthe stairs. I know that these intermittent guesses can’t prove that Miss Bailey is the murderer, but Ifound a witness. This is Ally.”

As Boris spoke, he looked at the servant seated beside him.

The woman named Ally introduced herself to Elias. “Mr. Winters, you might not know me. I’m a helperover at the Winters Estate and responsible for the household chores.”

“Ally, tell Mr. Winters everything you saw and heard that day. Don’t withhold any valuable informationwhatsoever. Quick.”

The butler looked impatient as he wished he could tell Elias the entire story, but he knew that Eliaswould not believe it if he said it, which was why this witness-Ally-was extremely important.
