The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 110 Getting Closer to the Truth

Letting out a deep sigh. Howard sat in a chair and began talking to himself, thinking that the man was already asleep on his sickbed. “I wonder if I was wrong to make the decision for you. Four years ago, I coerced you into marrying Amanda. You seemingly consented to it, but I could tell that you were inwardly seething with resentment. I thought you would come to like Amanda over time, for she was such a good girl… Now that I think about it. I’m the one to blame for what’s happening right now. That astrologer matched your birth date with Amanda’s, saying that she could ensure your safety. Even now, I’m still convinced of this, but… Sigh, he mumbled to himself, immersed in his own world.

Unbeknownst to the old man, Elias slowly opened his ink-black eyes while lying on his sickbed with his back to him… Turns out Grandpa actually coerced me into marrying Amanda back then for such an absurd reason. It’s just because an astrologer matched our birth dates? How ridiculous! If Amanda learns about this, she’ll probably get even angrier so that she won’t talk to Grandpa anymore.

After sitting in front of his grandson’s sickbed for a long time, Howard stood up and left the ward. As soon as the door closed, Elias sat up on his sickbed with a sullen expression. The thought of Amanda going on a blind date pissed him off. What sort of man is worth her going on a blind date

with?

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yacob’s voice. “Are you up, Mr. Winters?”

“Come in Elias had fretfulness written all over his brow.

After entering the ward, Yacob came straight to the point. “Mr. Winters, I tracked down the staff involved at the celebration party in Flimwood back then, including some who have retired or resigned after that.”

Elias looked up at him. Impatiently, he asked, “Where are they?

Yacob explained, “I tracked them down in secret, so I have all of them gathered at the Winters Estate. I’d suggest that we go back and interrogate them now, which shouldn’t take you too long.” After all, it would be unrealistic to call all of them to the hospital.

Immediately, Elias threw back his blanket and got out of his sickbed. As he strode out of the ward, he ordered, “Remember, don’t let anyone know about this.”

“Roger that.”

The two tall men walked down the hallway of the hospital. It was deep in the night now, and only their muffled footsteps could be heard.
