The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 215 I Won’t Cry for an *ss Like You!

Amanda thought that she had misheard what was said and looked at the man standing there, disbelief written all over her face.

However, Elias was stoic, as if this matter was unrelated to him.

She stared at him for the longest time possible without detecting any change of expression in him.

So… Is his silence his way of admitting to it?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward since no one dared to speak.

Amanda was still recovering from the shock, while Elias was full of anger with nowhere to vent his frustrations, which left him with no choice but to endure it.

As for Jack, he had planned for this encounter tonight. He knew that Elias still wanted his ex-wife, which was why Elias refused to inform Amanda about the upcoming engagement. As such, Jack wanted to let tonight’s event shatter Elias’ dreams of reconciling with her.

At the sight of such an embarrassing atmosphere, Phineas couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter with everyone? Why are you all quiet? Miss Bailey?”

Amanda only came back to her senses when she heard her name being called. “Huh? Did you call me?”

“I sure did. How do I say it? You should be familiar with prenups, right?”

She averted her gaze from the man’s face and forced a smile. “Yes, I’m quite familiar with it. If you need it. Mr. Allegra, I can help you draft a prenup.”

At that moment, she felt a myriad of emotions wash over her. Elias is getting engaged to the daughter of the Allegra Group, huh? Heck, I didn’t even know about it and even stupidly went for dinner with him yesterday! Can I be any stupider than this? No wonder Stephanie came to look for me yesterday to ask about the divorce. It’s because she wants to know Elias in a better light.

At this thought, Amanda wanted to slap herself. How can I have been so stupid? No wonder they wanted me and Aiden abroad. It looks like we’re in the way of their marriage. Ah, how pathetic….

Amanda looked at the man standing before her. It felt like they were so close yet worlds apart.

At her words, Jack raised an eyebrow. “Really? That’s great. We can discuss the details when we are free. The engagement ceremony is next month, with the marriage being scheduled for the end of the year. We don’t have much time.”
