The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 228 I Won’t Let You Off

“Elias is right. Why silence him? You’re the only fool here who can’t see through this slumdog’s intentions. He just wants to marry you so that he can live the rest of his life in wealth and luxury…”

However, before Jack could finish speaking, Stephanie interjected, retorting. “No, don’t say that, Dad! It’s not like that! Crisp didn’t know I was an Allegra when he first met me. He knew nothing and just genuinely liked me!”

Crispin, too, defended himself, saying. “You can dislike me all you want, Mr. Allegra, but you can’t insult my character like that. I-

“Shut up! Don’t go around thinking I’m oblivious to your intentions!” Jack didn’t want to hear another word from the arguing slumdog.

Alas, her daughter remained oblivious.

On the other hand, Elias checked the time on his wristwatch; his time to watch the drama unfold had run

He spoke in a lazy and alluring voice while standing up. “Mr. Allegra, I’ll move away from your family affairs for now. After all, I’m not your son-in-law yet. I still have matters to attend to at the office, so I’ll be off now. Call me if anything”

With that, Elias walked out of the house, but Stephanie impeded him, grabbing him by the arm when he walked past her. “Elias, don’t go! You promised me you’d save Crisp.”

“Have I not done that?” Elias questioned, glancing icily at her. “Isn’t your beloved Crisp right in front of you? What else do you want?”

“Yes, you saved him, but why did you bring him here? You knew my dad was at home!” Stephanie believed Elias had deliberately brought Crisp over to Allegra Villa.

At that, Elias pulled his arm back and retorted expressionlessly, “Why should I care? You’re the one who likes him, not me. Why should I be so considerate? Should I also feed him, then?”
