The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 304

Elias held her even tighter as if telling her not to be afraid. Even though they were in the dark, for a moment, Amanda felt like the world around her was filled with light. “What kind of sound is that?” Amanda blurted.

Before Elias could answer, Taylor flew into a rage. He wanted to hit Elias, but the darkness prevented him from seeking the guy out, so he roared. “What the hell are you doing? You hurt my sister badly enough, so stop this right now!”

He wanted to tell the butler to turn the switch on. The whole place is like a dark dungeon. There’s no tay Rotie is going to come out. She might trip and fall. The place is filled with staircases, after all. If she were to fall from the stairs. Taylor didn’t finish that thought. It was too terrifying to even think about.

Elias, however, was unbelievably calm. He was waiting for the rest of the recording to be played.

Amanda aked, “It’s a bit too far, don’t you think? What if we actually drive her insane with this?”

She kept feeling Maria’s presence around her, and the woman’s cries were still drifting along in the air, calling out to her. Rosie finally had a breakdown. She stumbled out of the chamber, crying and shouting. “Get away from
