The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 261 Scandal

Amanda remained silent and watched the man blow his top, barely remembering the last time she saw him mad. They stared at each other for a while before Elias’ phone rang all of a sudden, breaking the dead silence.

He answered the call. “Speak.” Upon hearing what the other party said, he uttered, “I got it. I’ll be there soon. No one is allowed to speak to the reporters or say nonsense!”

After hanging up the call, he turned to look at Amanda, who had calmed down. “I told you I only wanted. to get to the truth, and you’ll deal with the rest. No one can force you to acknowledge the Allegras as your family. If they make you do that, you can tell me about it, and I’ll protect you. That’s it. I have to take my leave now. There’s something I need to attend to.”

With that, he turned around and left, leaving Amanda alone in the spacious living room as she plunged onto the couch. She didn’t mean to vent her anger on Elias, but she couldn’t control her emotions. It was. difficult for her to accept such shocking news, after all.

While sitting on the couch, she felt fidgety and had no idea how to calm herself down. Just then, she received a notification of the latest news on her phone. She wasn’t in the mood to take a look, so she picked up her phone and wanted to toss it away.

However, when she caught sight of the news on the screen, it instantly grabbed her attention.

The Secretary of Winters Enterprise’s President Committed Suicide by Jumping off the Building.

What?! The Winters Enterprise?

Amanda quickly switched on her phone and took a look at the latest news, only to discover that everyone was talking about the incident.

It was no wonder Elias had left in a hurry, for such a serious incident had happened at the company. She clicked into a news article and realized that the deceased was Elias’ first love, Natasha, though the man had never admitted to it.

What’s going on?

Out of curiosity, she went through the news article and learned that the secretary had committed suicide. by jumping off the company building. It was suspected that she had been troubled by love affairs. The writer of the article speculated that the secretary had hooked up with Elias and wanted to marry him, but the man turned her down straight away. As such, she was dejected and decided to end her life.

After reading the article, Amanda found it laughable. This is ridiculous.

She supposed Elias’ enemies had hired the writer to produce such an article to demonize the man. He was described as a jerk who messed with women. Besides that, he was also framed as a psychopath who tortured the secretary, causing her to commit suicide.
