Chapter 93 A Test

The possibility occurred in Amanda’s mind and gave her goosebumps. She couldn’t help a shiver.

If my guesses are right, then Grace is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Why did Grace do that? Did she do itfor Elias” attention? Is she trying to turn his head?

Lost in her thoughts, she wasn’t aware that the soup boiled over.

Simon heard the noise over the call, so he spoke up to remind her. “Amanda, are you watching thepot? I can hear it boiling over.

His reminder snapped her out of her trance. “Ah! I’ve got to go. I almost ruined my food. Bye.”

After hanging up the call, she turned off the stove and added some cold water to the pot before pouringthe noodles into a plate. However, her food was ruined and no longer edible,

She had long lost the mood to make another meal for herself after the call. Besides, it was almost timeto meet up with her client.

Therefore, she returned upstairs to change her clothes and put on some light makeup. After pac herthings, she left home for the meeting place.

Amanda was meeting up with the client in Brownie Cafe.

She arrived early at the cafe. She chose somewhere conspicuous to sit so the client could see heramon the guests.

And the seat itself allowed her to take her surroundings in. She found Grace sitting in the corner at oneglance.

What is she doing here?

A man in a strange outfit sat opposite Grace. He looked like a faceless person in the outfit as it aimedto conceal his facial features. The black sunglasses, black mask, and black cap made Amanda ponder.

Today’s a rainy day. Does he have to wear such outfits? He looks like a fugitive in them.

“Miss Bailey?” The arrival of her client interrupted her thoughts.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Amanda. Please take a seat.” She had no choice but to withdraw her gaze andfocus on her work.

She spent the next hour talking to her client, not paying attention to what Grace was doing in thecorner.

After she finally saw her client off, she found that Grace was no longer sitting in the corner.

Amanda purposely scanned her surroundings, looking for Grace. Is she gone? But I sit facing theentrance the whole time. I should’ve seen her if she left earlier.

She walked over to the counter to pay her bills with a frown on her face.

To her surprise, she saw Grace walking out of the washroom and was about to come across her.

Grace was surprised to see Amanda in the cafe, but she refused to let it show on her face.

“Fancy meeting you here. Grace thought Amanda just arrived at the cafe. She didn’t think Amanda hadseen her meeting up with somebody.

Amanda’s reply was unrelated. “I thought you cared about Elias. He got in an accident. Aren’t yousupposed to look after him in the hospital?”

That’s uncharacteristic of her. She should’ve been around him all the time.

Amanda remembered Grace’s conversation with another person in the hospital that day. I wonder ifshe’s responsible for the accident,

“TIl look after him without a doubt. I’m on my way now,” After that, Grace began to walk toward thedoor.

Watching the woman walk over to the exit, Amanda slowly began, “How did you manage to stay calmafter learning that Elias got in an accident? Perhaps you have something to do with the accident?”

Grace immediately stopped in her tracks at the words, a faint smile remaining on her face.

What does that mean? Has she discovered anything? How much does she know?

Grace didn’t dare to expose herself. After all, she couldn’t tell how much Amanda knew,

“Those are some strong words, Amanda. You’re accusing me of a crime. Are you implying that 1caused the accident? However, I heard from the butler that Elias was on his way to see you before hegot in the

accident.”

Taking the preemptive approach, eh? She’s clever.

The feeling that Grace was responsible for the accident grew stronger within Amanda. Grace doesn’tlook as innocent as other people perceive her to be.

“Everyone agrees that your brother’s ghost comes back to haunt Elias. He specially chose to strike onElias’ birthday.” Amanda emphasized, gauging Grace’s reaction to the mention of Yelan’s ghost.

Grace dismissed the claim with a chuckle. “You’re a lawyer. Amanda. You should know that karmadoesn’t exist. My brother is loyal to Elias and will remain so even after he passes away. There’s nosuch thing as karma.”

Amanda began as if she was interrogating a suspect, “Why didn’t you celebrate Elias’ birthday withhim? Knowing you, you must look forward to celebrating his birthday with him.”

“Are you trying to make fun of me? I don’t want to look for him, only to watch him cook for you.”

The mention of Elias’ birthday irritated Grace. At first, she didn’t plan to take such extreme measures.

However, Elias disappointed her. Not only did he cook for Amanda, he even tried to go and get her tocelebrate his birthday with him.

Grace had been by his side during his birthday every year in the past. She supported him with hermere existence without making his birthday a scene as she always knew that he wasn’t a fan of hisbirthday.

To her surprise, Elias eventually got over the experience that bothered him for years. But it was forAmanda’s sake instead of her.

+11 Bonus

Grace was green with envy and planned the accident as a result to teach Elias a lesson. She wanted toremind him about Yelan’s death and his last words.

Amanda narrowed her eyes. “So, you did go to his place, or else you wouldn’t know he cooked for me.”

“I-I learned it from the call. The butler told me!”

Grace was frustrated as she belatedly realized that she willingly jumped into the trap Amanda set up forher. It has to stop now. I don’t want her to replace out the truth.

“Forgive me, but I can’t stay for chit-chat. I’ve got things to do.”

After that, Grace turned around and left the cafe. As she spun around, blood drained from her face. I’vesaid too much. I hope I didn’t raise suspicion.

Amanda trailed behind Grace in leaving the cafe. She watched as the latter left in haste.

The sight confirmed her guess. She’s somewhat related to the accident.

Pursing her lips into a thin line, Amanda headed to the parking lot. She started the car, about to headout to the crash site again.

The bad weather during the accident deprived her of the opportunity to look up details at the crash site.

Elias eventually gave in to Yacob’s reminder and visited the hospital even if he wasn’t pleased about itOnce the doctor guaranteed that Elias was fine, Yacob finally sent him back to the manor.

Elias was quietly sulking in his mind on their way back to the manor. His gloomy expression indicatedthat he wasn’t happy-

Yacob kept his eyes on the road without trying to initiate a conversation. Suddenly, a car parked on theroadside caught his eye. Even more, it parked near the crash site.

Yacob took his time to study the situation before he brought it up to Elias. That is Miss Bailey’s car. Iwonder why she’s here.”

A glint of anticipation flashed across Elias’ dark eyes at the mention of Amanda. He lowered thewindow and looked out the car. As expected, he saw Amanda’s car.

“Stop the car here.”

Yacob parked the car on the roadside as told.
