Chapter 143 The Ex-Daughter-In-Law That You Never Met
Elias stood up and looked at Amanda, who was approaching them. Seeing that Aiden had flung himself into Amanda’s embrace, one would assume he was torturing the kid.
“Mommy Aiden cried.
Amanda hugged him and panicked when she heard him crying, wondering what had happened.
“What’s wrong? Did Mr. Winters hurt you? Why are you crying?”
Aiden wrapped his arms around her neck and cried. “No, it’s not Mr. Winters. I am afraid of those weird people. They were wearing very strange clothes,”
Huh? Weird people that wore strange clothes?
Thinking about it, she hugged him and said softly. “It’s alright now. I’m here. Don’t cry”
After some time, Aiden fell asleep on her shoulder. Amanda knew that he must have played happily to be
so worn out.
“Let’s put him on the couch,” said Elias when he saw Amanda wearing high heels. Her legs would hurt if she carried Aiden in those heels.
“It’s fine. I can carry him.”
“Are you trying to hurt your legs?” Elias said mercilessly.
Hearing his words, Amanda lowered her head and looked at her high heels. To be honest, it was tiring for her since Aiden was getting heavier as he grew older. Thus, she gently placed Aiden on the couch.
At this moment, Jennifer’s voice rang behind them. “Why did you throw them out of the house. Elias? They are the priests I hired for the exorcism. Recently, I’ve felt like Yelan’s ghost is following me. Did you forget about the car incident? Yelan is avenging himself! He even chose to kill himself on your birthday! Don’t you learn from your mistakes?!”
“This is outrageous, Mom!” Elias felt his heart throbbing as he looked at Jennifer.
Amanda turned around and saw Jennifer for the first time. When she and Elias secretly married, she never saw Jennifer, only ever meeting Howard. This was the first time she had seen her mother-in-law. Although it was already in the past, she still eyed Jennifer up and down. Although she dresses like a rich person….
Thinking about this, she cleared her throat and said, “The car accident was not a coincidence, Mrs. Winters. Relax, this doesn’t have anything to do with ghosts. Then, she saw a group of priests leave Southview Villa. Are they the people Aiden is talking about? she thought. To be honest, any child would get scared if they saw such a thing. Moreover, Aiden had been living abroad since he was little and had never seen anyone dressed as such.
“And you are?” Jennifer looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to be a lawyer.
Amanda smiled and said, Tm the ex-daughter-in-law you haven’t met before.”
In that split second, Jennifer’s eyes widened. Is this Elias’er-wifer
“Are you the poor woman Old Mr. Winters forced Elias to marry?”
The Ex-Daughter-In-Law That You Never Met
Poor woman? Pffi… I can’t believe how harshly she addresses me, thought Amanda. However, I was indeed poor when I got married to Elias. Moreover, I had a father who was a gambler, as well as a mother who was severely ill.
“Yes. However, I am now his ex-wife, so you don’t have to worry about me ruining your son’s future,” Amanda said calmly with a stoic expression.
Hearing Jennifer’s harsh words, Elias frowned and said. “You are the mistress of the Winters Family. How can you be so rude?”
“The truth hurts the most, Elias. Although I have never seen your ex-wife, I have heard things about her. She has a father who gambles and a severely ill mother who also needs your money. Plus, she had been relying on you when you guys got married. Thus, there’s nothing wrong with calling her a poor woman.”
Amanda smiled bitterly and realized she used to be so pitiful. No wonder Elias used to despise me. I guess he is impressed with me now since I’m able to earn money without relying on others, thought Amanda. She felt that women should be financially independent. That way, only others would not underestimate them.
“It’s fine,” replied Amanda.
Elias frowned and looked at Jennifer. “Go home!”
However, Jennifer suddenly remembered Amanda’s words. “What do you mean the car accident was not a coincidence? Do you have any proof?”
At this moment, Grace approached them. She was surprised to see Amanda since she didn’t expect the latter to be here. “Let’s go back, Mrs. Winters. I’m sure Elias knows his limits.” Even then, she pretended to be kind and tried to drag Jennifer away
Jennifer swatted Grace’s hand away and looked at Amanda. “Is there anything to prove that the car accident was man-made?” She still believed that this was revenge from Yelan.
Looking at Grace’s innocent appearance, Amanda smirked coldly and said. “Why don’t you ask Grace about it? She knows exactly what happened. After all, she was the one behind it.”
“Nonsense! You don’t have any evidence!” Grace barked.
Hearing their conversation, Elias kept quiet. After all, he couldn’t trust Grace anymore after everything she had done. He recalled how Amanda had always accused Grace of being the culprit when they fought in the office. Could it really be… Grace!
“You’ve done so many horrible things in the past, so there’s nothing strange if you were the one behind it. Plus, I have evidence. I heard your conversation entirely, but I didn’t record it. Also, do you think Elias would still believe you? I feel pity for you, Grace. What else can you do other than ruining your face?” Amanda chuckled and carried Aiden from the couch. Then, she looked at Elias and said, “TIl be heading back. I can’t stand here any longer.”
Elias didn’t stop her since he didn’t want Aiden to be frightened again. I’ll send you back. Get in the backseat with Aiden. You need to take care of him.”
Amanda’ didn’t refuse and nodded her head. Then, she carried Aiden and walked the other way.
In the meantime, Jennifer was confused. She stepped forward and grabbed Elias’ arm, asking. “What does she mean by that, Elias? What does this have to do with Grace? What is going on?”
“You have to trust me, Mrs. Winters. I would never do anything to hurt Elias. Never!” Grace cried.
Hearing her words, Elias glared at her coldly and said, “I will look into this matter. Before the truth is out, stay here and don’t try to leave. I don’t want to see you.”
“Elias! Don’t tell me you believe her. How could I hurt you when I love you so much?” Grace panicked. Never did she expect that Elias wouldn’t believe her at all.
She sprinted down the stairs but suddenly remembered her pregnancy and slowed down. Clutching the test strip in her hand, she wondered what Elias Winters' reaction would be once he heard the news.
Yet, when Amanda was halfway down the stairs, she saw two figures in the living room—Elias and a sexy woman. Slowing down her steps, she held the handrail tightly and felt her heart sink. That was because she saw her husband and the woman behaving affectionately as though they were a smitten couple.
