Chapter 244 I Have to Visit Him

Yacob walked toward the bed. When he saw the man’s back that was covered in blood stains, he hadthe urge to touch it.

As soon as he extended his hand, Elias warned grimly. “If you dare touch it, I’ll cut off your hand!”Yacob immediately retracted his hand and caught sight of Elias opening his eyes. He looked like abeast whose sleep had been interrupted with displeasure written all over his face.

Then, Yacob coughed and said, “I’ll be heading out now. Grace is in the police station and underinvestigation. I suppose she’ll be staying in the police station for a while. After all, she committedassault.”

Then, he observed Elias’ expression for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Winters, it depends onwhether you press charges against her. If you do, she’ll stay in the police station. If you don’t, she’ll bereleased.”

He had a feeling that Elias would go easy on the nasty woman for Kennedy’s sake.

Elias treasured his friends, but they couldn’t cross the line. Otherwise, they would be doomed.

Amanda and Aiden were the most important people to Elias. He would never allow anyone to harmthem. After a moment of silence, Elias said solemnly, “Release the woman and send her somewhereelse. I don’t want to see her again.”

“Alright, I see you’ve decided to go easy on her.” Yacob knew Elias would make such a decision.

Grace should be grateful that she had a wonderful brother. Otherwise, Elias would’ve destroyed herlong ago. However, she was too naive to think that Elias had been conniving at her wrongdoingsbecause he loved her.

The next morning, Yacob went to the police station and bailed Grace out, ready to send her away fromImperia.

At present, Grace was mentally unstable. She believed that everyone was trying to harm her. When thepolice questioned her, she almost got into a fight with them.

“This is the last time Mr. Winters lets you off, so you’d better behave yourself from now on. You can’tblame anyone for what happened to you. It’s all your fault, Yacob said impassively.

Grace was walking dazedly behind him when she heard that, and she flared up instantly.

“Shut up! What right do you have to lecture me? When Elias was deeply in love with me back then, hewould do anything to please me. At that time, you had to obey my orders. Even though I’ve lost hisfavor, it doesn’t mean you can mock me. You don’t have the right to do that. You’re just Elias’ lackey!”

Yacob frowned, thinking Grace was mad and would target anyone.

“Mr. Winters has never been in love with you. I’ve been meaning to tell you that Mr. Winters hasrepeatedly let you off for your brother’s sake. You could’ve relied on your brother and lived the rest ofyour life without any worries. However, you stubbornly wanted to marry Mr. Winters. To be honest,you’re too greedy. You crave things you can never get.”

Yacob had been putting up with her for a long time. In the past, Grace believed that Elias doted on her,so

she was arrogant and treated Yacob harshly.

Since the woman had fallen from grace, he could finally vent his anger.

Devastated by his words, Grace snapped. That’s impossible! Elias loves me, and it’s not just becauseof my brother. Whenever he looks at me, I can tell there’s love behind his gaze!”

She felt Elias had nothing but love whenever he looked at her, so it was impossible that it was allbecause of her brother.

Yacob decided to deal another blow to her. “Come on. Every woman thinks Mr. Winters looks lovinglyat them. It’s all in your mind.”

“Stop spouting nonsense! That’s impossible!”

“That’s enough. Let’s go right now. I don’t want to waste any more time on you.”

Yacob stuffed the woman into the car and found the entire conversation laughable. It was ridiculousthat he even tried to argue with a lunatic.

“Where are you taking me?” Grace asked.

Yacob got into the driver’s seat and closed the door. I’m taking you to a place where you won’t see Mr.Winters forever. That’s because he doesn’t want to see you anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Grace tried to get out of the car, but the doors had been locked.

“Let me go! I want to get out of this car! I’m not going anywhere. You don’t have the right to send mesomewhere else. I’ll stay right in this city!”

“You’d better stop making a scene, Grace! It’s different now. Mr. Winters won’t protect you again. If youkeep making a fuss, no one will help you, and you’ll end up on the streets. You used to be a beautifulcelebrity, but you’re just a woman with a scarred face now. If you don’t mind the reporters harassingyou while you sleep on the streets, carry on with your tantrum.”

Grace instantly fell silent and subconsciously touched her face.

If Elias refused to help her, the reporters would destroy her by taking photos of her deformed face andreporting on her miserable life. By then, everyone in the country would replace out she was in such aterrible

state.

She felt that she would truly go mad simply by imagining what would happen to her.

As such, she stopped making a fuss and remained silent in the car.

In their home in Northern No. 1, Aiden appeared aggrieved and said with a pout, “Miss Selina, whydidn’t Daddy pick me up today? He promised he’d pick me up from school every day.”

Selina had no idea how to explain it to him, so she could only say, “Perhaps your daddy is swampedwith work. You know, he has a business to run.”

Just then, Amanda left the bedroom. She had changed into a dress and put on some makeup, lookinglike she was going on a date.

Selina asked, “Are you heading out, Amanda?”

“Yeah. Since I’m going to start my own law firm, I have to attend some cocktail parties and get to knowsome big shots so that I’ll secure more clients. Since I’m on my own now, I have to work harder.”

“Can I come, Mommy?” Aiden dashed forward and wrapped his arms around his mother’s legs.

Amanda bent over and cupped the young boy’s face. “No, kids are not allowed to enter. I’ll take you tosuch parties when you grow up, alright?”

“Hmph!” Aiden released her. “Get Daddy to come over and pick me up, then. I want him to go out withme. He promised he’d pick me up from school every day, but he didn’t come today. He’s such a liar.”

Amanda was startled, not knowing if she should tell the child about it.

After giving it some thought, she decided to tell him the truth.

She crouched down and glanced at the child, who looked like the mini version of his father. “Alright, I’llbe honest with you. Your dad is injured, so he’s in the hospital now. That’s why he can’t pick you upfrom school.”

Aiden’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is Daddy in the hospital? How did he even get injured? I have tovisit him!”

Amanda was rendered speechless, thinking that Aiden truly loved his father.

She said, “Let’s visit him tomorrow. He needs more rest since his injury is quite serious. I’ll take you tothe hospital tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Aiden appeared unhappy, but he could only agree to it.

When Amanda arrived at the cocktail party, she took the initiative to talk to the big shots so that shecould secure more clients for her law firm..

Since she wanted to make her law firm successful, she had to do everything herself.
