Amanda had only taken a few steps toward the door before turning over to look at Grace who was sprawled out on the floor. I thought you loved Elias, but it seems like you don’t really love him. You would actually hire someone to sabotage his car. Is his life worth nothing to you?”

“You’re lying! Elias would never believe you! I love him. I would never hurt him!” Grace’s face was white with fear, afraid that Amanda might actually tell Elias all about this.

“Love him? Did you try to kill him because you love him? Did you know that if the accident was any worse, he might have died right then and there?!” Amanda shot back.

Amanda pulled open the door and got ready to leave.

Suddenly, Grace called out from where she was on the ground. “Why didn’t you tell Elias about the boy? What are you afraid of? Since the boy is his, why won’t you tell him?”

As there was no way to salvage the situation, it was time for her to just ask all the questions in her

mind.

She had always wondered about it. The boy was clearly a trump car Amanda could use to remarry into the Winters Family. Why did she refuse to use it? She even went through so much effort to hide the boy’s existence.

“I never planned on telling him. After all, I don’t want to remarry him, nor do I want to give him the child. It looks like I have no choice now. With an evil snake like you around, only Elias can protect his child. That won’t be all I’ll be telling him. I’ll also tell him about how accident. I want him to know just how evil you are!”

Amanda had made up her mind. She would rather tell Elias the truth than constantly worry about

Grace.

While she knew that meant the Winters Family would try to steal her son away from her, nothing was more important than Aiden’s life.

She wanted Aiden to live a good life. That was all.

If she kept Aiden a secret, Grace would find another chance to target him in the future. However, the next time it happened, Aiden might actually die.

After shooting Grace an icy look of warning, Amanda walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

The moment the door clicked shut, Grace’s face was deathly pale like a huge boulder was pressing down on her heart, making it impossible for her to catch her breath.

If Elias were told about everything that had happened, she would be doomed.
