Chapter 208 This Former Wife of Elias’ Is Quite Fierce
Amanda felt somewhat speechless. How in the world did we end up talking about me?! Also, this client is rather strange…
She cleared her throat. “I didn’t ask for a penny from my ex-husband, so there’s no property division. The child belongs to me.”
“That’s really awful. He’s so wealthy, yet he didn’t give you a single penny and even gave you the child?!” Stephanie was shocked. She couldn’t believe Elias could be so despicable to do such shameless things.
Stephanie mentally noted down all the details, planning to tell her father about Elias’ crimes after she returned. I’m going to tell Father all of this. Let’s see how he can continue to defend Elias! Hmph!
“How do you know my ex-husband is wealthy?”
This girl is really strange. Amanda began doubting the true purpose of her visit.
Realizing her faux pas, Stephanie forced a laugh and argued, “Um, well, I noticed that the house you’re living in is expensive. This is a pretty wealthy neighborhood, so I thought maybe your ex-husband gave it to you as part of the divorce settlement. After all, you still have a son, so I assumed-
“Miss Allegra, let’s talk about your matter instead. Mine is not important,” Amanda interjected, redirecting -the conversation.
“Yes, yes, let’s talk about my matter. Look at me being all gossipy. I can’t help getting curious when I hear gossip. I’d like to know how much of my husband’s property can I get after divorcing my husband? By the way, Miss Bailey, does your ex-husband provide child support after the divorce? He wouldn’t be so stingy as to not give any child support, right? Oh, and how did you two get divorced in the first place? Who was at fault?”
Stephanie was still too eager, and her rapid-fire questions raised suspicions in Amanda’s mind.
“Miss Allegra, aren’t you here for a divorce consultation? Why are you so interested in my personal matters?”
“Well… um, I am here for a divorce consultation. I was just curious about how much property a lawyer like you would get in a divorce… Haha.. Stephanie laughed awkwardly while averting her gaze.
Finding the situation increasingly suspicious, Amanda slowly stood up and said, “Miss Allegra, I think it would be better for you to consult with other lawyers at the firm. I’ll be honest with you that I’m currently on vacation, so I’m not responsible for any clients.”
“Wait, what? But I specifically wanted you to handle my case. I’ve heard that you’re the best at handling divorce cases.”
Amanda narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “Miss Allegra, let me ask you, what’s the name of our law firm?”
Stephanie was stupefied. The name of the law firm… Shoot! It was written in the investigation materials. Something Associates, was it? Shoot, why can’t I recall the name?!
She had only taken a careless glance at the time.
“It’s called…” Stephane muttered. “It’s something Associations. It’s… I can’t remember exactly, but they recommended you to me, saying you’re the best at-”
Alas, before she could finish her words, Amanda stood up, her expression cold and distant. “Please leave. You’re not here for a consultation but to pry into my privacy.”
“But 1-
“Please leave. Or I’ll call the security!” Amanda said, looking at the girl in front of her with a sense of inexplicable annoyance, unsure of what the girl’s intentions were.
Call security? Elias’ former wife is quite fierce.
Stephanie had no choice but to stand up and leave. After all, she didn’t want to escalate the situation. She left dejectedly.
After closing the door, Amanda leaned against it with furrowed brows. She pondered for a moment, then walked over to the couch, picked up her phone, and dialed Elias’ number.
The call was answered swiftly, and Elias’ voice, deep and somber, came through. “Amanda, what’s the matter?”
“Elias, I find something strange, and I’m not sure if I should tell you.”
“Go ahead, I’m listening”
Amanda deliberated and ultimately decided to tell Elias about it. After all, Aiden was still residing here, and she had to consider his safety, even if not her own.
“Just now, a girl came to see me claiming to seek advice on divorce. However, she kept asking why I got divorced, how much property I received, who got custody of the child, and whatnot. I found it strange, so I promptly sent her away.”
The man on the other end of the phone fell silent for a few seconds before saying. “Do you remember her
name?”
Amanda tried recalling. “I remember the girl said her name was something Allegra. What was it again Steph…
“Stephanie Allegra?”
“Yes, that’s it! It’s her! How do you know her name? Do you know her?” Amanda grew even more curious. Does Elias know this girl?
“I know now. Leave it to me. You don’t have to worry about it anymore. She won’t bother you again.”
With that, Elias intended to end the call, but Amanda quickly stopped him. “Wait, don’t hang up yet!”
“What’s wrong? Is there something else?”
Amanda struggled to find the words. After hesitating for a while, she finally awkwardly spoke up. “You’ve been so busy lately that you’ve lost weight. Come over for dinner if you’re available tonight. It’s a good opportunity to bond with Aiden. Aiden is just having a hard time adjusting for now, but if you spend more time playing with him, he’ll gradually accept the fact that you’re his biological father.”
Silence filled the other end of the line for a few seconds before Elias’ deep, husky voice returned. “Alright, see you tonight.”
Amanda actually felt relieved when she heard his agreement and couldn’t help but smile. After hanging up
the phone, she started thinking about what dishes to prepare for dinner.
In the president’s office of Winters Enterprise, after hanging up the phone, Elias’ face turned extremely grim. He directly threw the document in his hand onto the floor.
Stephanie Allegra! How dare she go to Amanda, that mad woman!
He picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Send me Stephanie Allegra’s phone number.”
Moments later, his phone vibrated, and a message came in with Stephanie’s phone number. He dialed the number, and the call connected in two shakes.
“Hello? Who’s this? Speak up, or I’ll hang up. Stephanie didn’t like answering unfamiliar numbers.
Elias stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the bustling scene below. In a deep voice, he said, “Stephanie Allegra, why did you go to my ex-wife? If you bother her again, I’ll tell your beloved Crisp about your upcoming engagement.”
“What?! Elias, how dare you?! Don’t you dare go to him!
At that, he sneered disdainfully. “Huh, why can’t I approach him when you went to my ex-wife? Who are you to have double standards? You can come to me if you want to know anything. You don’t need to pry around with my ex-wife. I will tell you everything I know.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
On the other end, Stephanie sat in the car, staring at the disconnected phone, lost in thought.
The thing she feared most now was Elias going to find her beloved Crisp. What should I do?!
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.
