Chapter 458 We Remarried?
After the client left, the assistant and other staff members also left one by one. The last one even attentively closed the door to the conference room.
At this moment, only Elias and Amanda were left in the spacious conference room. It was so silent that they could even hear each other’s breathing.
Eventually, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you call me here in the first place?”
“I wanted to see if you were a real lawyer.”
She was taken aback and couldn’t help but chuckle. Of course, there was nothing mirthful about it. Instead, she was scoffing out of sheer frustration. So, she told this man to investigate the truth, and the first thing he investigated was her?
“Why go through all this trouble? You could have asked me to show you my credentials. Besides, I’ve been sitting here listening for two hours. Can you actually tell if I’m a real lawyer after making me sit through something so trivial?”
She couldn’t keep up with this man’s train of thought. What sort of nonsense was he thinking?
Finally, the man stood up slowly, buttoned his suit, turned around, and looked at her. “Have you eaten? If you haven’t, let’s have a meal together.”
Now, she was beyond confused. “You’re asking me if I’ve eaten? I rushed over as soon as I received the call. How could I possibly have had the time to eat?”
“Then, let’s eat together.”
He walked toward the conference room door, and she watched his retreating back, completely bewildered. What was this man trying to do? Was he making a fool out of her?
Nonetheless, she still followed him to a famous restaurant in Imperia. After the waiter served their food, he left the private room.
Amanda stared as Elias ate elegantly and couldn’t help but inquire, “So, you’re now able to sit. down and have a meal with me calmly?”
“Why can’t I? Since you’re so confident, coupled with the fact that I haven’t found the truth yet… Of course, I can.”
“So, why did you request my presence today?”
He sliced up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, his tone cold and natural as he said,

“Show me a photo of the child. I couldn’t find any photos of the child at home.”
She claimed that the child was his, but he couldn’t find a single photo of the child in the entire estate, let alone a picture of the three.
So, he wanted to see a photo of the child….
Amanda relaxed slightly and answered, “Oh, there are no photos of the child in the estate. because we had remarried recently. I was separated from you for four years before that happened. So, you didn’t have the chance to witness the child growing up.”
“What? We remarried?”
Elias looked puzzled, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
She took a sip of tea and said, “Yes, it was just before your car accident. We had just obtained our marriage certificate. The child and I had just moved into the estate legally, so there aren’t any photos available.”
“Then, why couldn’t I find any documents proving our relationship at home?”
He felt like he was seeing a ghost. He couldn’t find the divorce certificate, and now Amanda. was telling him they had remarried. Yet, he couldn’t find the marriage certificate either!
She held the teacup as a cold sneer appeared on her lips. “You should ask Rosie Momsey about that.”
“What do you mean?” He narrowed his eyes, staring at Amanda, waiting for her to continue.
She simply raised an eyebrow. “Why did Rosie forbid you from returning to the estate after you were discharged? It’s because she wanted to remove all the important things from the estate before allowing you to return. That’s why there’s nothing useful available.”
Elias fell silent. He couldn’t believe that the first person he saw after waking up would do. such a thing.
“Why would she do that?”
Amanda smiled, picked up her cutlery, and tasted a piece of beef. The taste was indeed as fantastic as advertised. Then, she said, “Because she wants to be your woman. Isn’t it obvious? I’ve said it once, and I’ll repeat it. Rosie can deceive you, but she can’t deceive everyone. Just ask around. Everyone knows just how much you despise her. How could you possibly allow her to be your girlfriend?”
He furrowed his brows and pursed his lips as he carefully recalled Rosie’s actions after he regained consciousness. It seemed that she had indeed been keeping him under house arrest.

Suddenly, the phone beside him started vibrating.
He picked it up and glanced at it. It was a call from Rosie.
Amanda also noticed the call and observed the man’s expression, wondering if he would answer it.
Elias answered the call after hesitating briefly and put it to his ear. “What is it?”
“I’ve arrived at the estate. Mr. Jones said you went out. Where are you?”
“I’m near the company, Do you need something?”
“Not really. I’m just worried about you and wanted to see you. Can I come to the company to see you?”
He thought it over for a moment and didn’t refuse. “Alright, come to the company.”
Then, he ended the call.
An impassive Amanda sat across from him, somewhat disappointed. It seemed that this mant didn’t fully believe what she said.
So, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, picked up her bag, and rose to her feet. “I’ll be taking my leave now and not disturb t your date.”
“Who said about going on a date with her?”
“You invited her to the company to meet you. Isn’t that a date? I’ve already told you what she did, but you don’t believe-”
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her, saying, “You’re the one who told me to investigate the truth myself. How can I investigate the truth without contacting her?”
Was Elias explaining himself to her?
Amanda’s heart tightened, and a hint of a smile appeared on her lips. Regardless, she made sure to shoot him a cold glance before saying, “Then, my advice is to investigate things. thoroughly. I hope you will find the truth soon and stop doubting every word I say.”
Once she said her piece, she turned and left the private room.
Although he still hadn’t regained his memory, he was starting to suspect Rosie at the very least. Since he was about to investigate that scheming b*tch, that just meant the day when the truth would be revealed was not far away.
Once he learned about the truth, he should be able to accept it gradually. As long as that

happened, she wouldn’t have to worry that he would get agitated whenever they started discussing matters.
Elias, who remained seated at the dining table, looked at Amanda’s empty plate and. muttered to himself, “You left after only a few bites. What a waste.”
Then, he continued eating by himself.
When Elias returned to his office, Rosie had been waiting an hour.
He pushed open the office door and saw her sitting on the couch in the reception area.
As soon as she heard the door open, she stood up with a joyful expression and turned around. “Elias, you’re finally back. They said you went out for a meal. I didn’t expect it to take so long. Who did you go with?”
He walked toward his desk, sat down, and said in a deep voice, “With Amanda.”
Rosie’s smile instantly disappeared the instant she heard Amanda’s name.
He went out to eat with that b*tch Amanda! What’s going on? Has Elias started to believe Amanda’s story?

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.
