The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 13 Grandpa Invited Her to The Birthday Banquet

“You don’t have to remind me again. I’ve never forgotten about it! I didn’t say I’d abandon you!” A wave of irritability surged into the man’s heart. He never ignored Yelan’s entrustment before he died, but he hated her repeated reminders.

Grace panicked upon seeing Elias’ state, trembling as she said, “Elias, don’t be upset. I have no other intentions; I’m just too afraid of losing you…”

He looked back at the girl behind him. This was Yelan’s only sister, and he could not let him down no matter what. After all, he died too tragically, and he died for him.

“Hey, I’ll take you back. You just got discharged and need some rest,” said Elias.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Don’t be upset. Please don’t abandon me.” Grace nodded obediently. It was rare for this man to behave so nicely because everyone knew how bad his temper was.

She walked out of the meeting room while following behind the man. Yet, when she thought of the hickeys on the corners of Elias and Amanda’s mouths, she felt as uncomfortable as a bug sting on her heart. Wait for this, Amanda! Don’t ever try to take Elias back or remarry him!

Over at the parking lot, when Helean saw Amanda like this, he couldn’t help but worry. “Amanda, are you okay? There’s no one here. Can you tell me what happened in the conference room just now? Did Mr. Winters do something to you?”

Anyone with a keen eye could tell that she had been humiliated based on her appearance. Still, he could not figure it out as Elias did not look like that kind of person. How could this be?

“I’m fine. Please apply for a leave on my behalf. I’m not feeling well and wanna head home to rest. I’ll go to the law firm in the afternoon.” She sat in the driver’s seat and drove away immediately
