Chapter 257 Don’t Tell Me You Fell For Me

Elias looked at the sobbing Edith and explained, “Not only have I found her, but she also gave birth to acute grandson, my son. His name is Aiden, and he’s an active child.”

Listening to his words, Edith smiled. “Aiden, that’s a great name… My daughter… Where is Amelianow? I want to meet her.”

However, Jack was still skeptical about it. “What daughter? It’s been twenty years. Do you possiblythink that Elias could replace her in such a short time frame? That’s outrageous! Perhaps Amelia hasalready.

These years, Jack had been constantly searching for his daughter and had resorted to all sorts ofmethods. but failed. Therefore, he thought his eldest daughter might have already passed away.

“Mr. Allegra, if you don’t believe me, you can have a DNA test done yourself. That’s something easilyachievable for you, and I’m sure you can also easily replace out where my ex-wife lives,” Elias reasoned.

Once that was said, Edith hugged the DNA test results to her chest and bellowed, “Were you about tosay that Amelia’s dead? That’s impossible! I have always believed that Amelia is still alive, and havethe DNA results here. What other proof do you want? Don’t you want our daughter to come home?”

Jack remained silent. Of course, he did want to get his daughter back, but he was unwilling to admitthat Elias played him. Also, who knew whether Elias, that brat, was playing tricks or not?

At that moment, Cassandra spoke up. “Mr. Winters, are you saying Amelia, our family’s eldestdaughter, is your ex-wife? And she has given birth to your child?”

Elias answered, “Yes”

Frowning, Cassandra announced, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t that make you Steph’s brother-in-law?How can you two get engaged? That can’t be done!”

Cassandra finally figured it out.

Meanwhile, the dumbfounded Stephanie also realized that fact. That meant Elias was her brother-in-law. Although he got divorced, he was still her brother-in-law. Also, the kid she went to harass at thekindergarten was her nephew. Everything suddenly became strange for her.

She was having mixed feelings about all this and couldn’t put them into words. If that was theirrelationship now, wouldn’t it be impossible for Elias and her to get together anymore?

For some reason, that thought made Stephanie inexplicably frustrated. But she was unsure whethershe was frustrated at the fact that she could not be with Elias or the stupid things she did. Why are theheavens torturing me? How did things become like this….

Elias looked at Cassandra and seriously remarked, “Yes, Old Mrs. Allegra. That is why I took so long tocome here. I was waiting for this DNA test result. It’s not that I don’t want to marry Stephanie, butrather, I

can’t.”

Deep down, Stephanie sneered. She had a feeling that the man had known about this early on.Otherwise, how else would he be so sure that their engagement would get called off? He probablyalready knew about this earlier, yet pretended he was the aggrieved victim here.

Stephanie finally discovered how scheming this man was. His shrewdness was unfathomable.

The engagement was called off perfectly, leaving Jack with nothing to argue because Elias could notmarry Stephanie.

When Elias was about to leave the hotel, Stephanie went after him. “Stop right there, Elias!”

The man gradually came to a halt. “What’s the matter?”

“Are you planning to leave just like that? There are so many guests outside waiting for our explanation.Don’t tell me you intend to have my family clean up this load of mess?” The more Stephanie thought.about it, the angrier she became as she wondered what the man was here to do.

Before, she did hope that he could replace Amelia sooner; that way, her family would not focus all theirattention on her. But now that it was revealed that her sister was Elias’ ex-wife, she suddenly feltreluctant to let Amelia come home…

Elias rebuked, “Is there something wrong? Are you hoping that I will help you explain things? It wasyour family who wanted this marriage. I never wanted this.”

“Why you- What is the meaning of that? Are you saying that my family forced you to marry me?”

“Isn’t that true?” Elias had no intention of speaking to her. All he wanted now was to see Amanda andtell her about this.

“That’s bullsh*t!”

Elias frowned. “Now that the engagement is off, shouldn’t you be looking for Crispin? Why are youwasting your time talking to me? Don’t tell me you fell for me.”

Stephanie felt her heart skip a beat as though her inner thoughts were exposed. She quickly denied,“Of course not! I would never fall for a sly man like you! Never!”

The more she tried to deny it and the louder she screamed, the more guilty she seemed.

Meanwhile, Elias had no intention of guessing her thoughts, so he rebuked, “That would be the best. Iwould never fall in love with you anyway, so go and replace your poor man. He’s probably still there,waiting for you. The temperature will drop tonight, so you should stop wasting time here if you don’twant him to die from hypothermia.”

“You-

Stephanie still wanted to say something, but the man had already left without turning back, seeminglike he wanted nothing to do with her.

While looking at the man’s cold back, she muttered, “Don’t you feel anything for me? Am I that

unattractive…”

At Northern No. 1.

Amanda had finished taking a bath and was about to get in bed. She had to recruit staff for her new lawfirm tomorrow.

After starting her own business, she discovered how complicated it was to establish her own law firm.She was so busy that she did not even have time to eat.

When her phone rang, she glanced at it and saw it was a call from Elias. Then, she hung up withoutanswering.

She thought she and Elias had nothing to talk about. What other topic could they discuss besides theirchild? Moreover, it was obvious that Elias’ call was not to talk about their child.

Hence, she still resolutely hung up when the call came again.

On the other hand, Elias looked at the declined call with a frown, thinking that she might be asleep orwas refusing to pick up.

Seeing that it was quite late, Elias decided to forget it and try again tomorrow.

However, he did not expect the Allegras to be one step ahead of him.

Morning the next day.

Amanda was still asleep when she heard Selina’s voice coming from outside. It seemed like she hadguests, so Amanda dazedly got up, wanting to quickly wash up so that she could go outside to see who

it was.

In the meantime, Selina looked at the bunch of strange people before her, wondering what they weredoing there.

“May I know why you’re looking for Amanda? Is it about a lawsuit?” Selina innocently thought they wereAmanda’s clients.

Jack looked around the house and replied, “No, it’s not. We have something to discuss with her. Pleasecall her out.”

“Alright…” Selina felt the atmosphere seemed strange and oppressive, but just couldn’t put a finger onit.
