The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 331 Such Maliciousness at Such a Young Age?

Amanda looked at the speechless man and glanced at the table full of dishes. She had lost her appetite.

She already knew the purpose of Crispin’s visit. It was simply to prevent her from returning to the Allegra Family and to prevent her from taking away the love that belonged exclusively to Stephanie.

“Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’ll leave. You can eat the dishes at this table. Don’t let them go to waste.”

Amanda picked up her bag and was ready to leave, but Crispin grabbed her wrist.

She looked at his hand with disgust, and he instinctively let go. “I’m sorry. I apologize. Miss Bailey, please don’t leave yet. I still have something to say.”

“Speak up. I’m in a hurry.” She glanced at her watch and pretended to be busy.

Crispin picked up his teacup and took a sip. Amanda did have a strong presence and she didn’t seem like someone who grew up in the slums.

“Miss Bailey-”

“Did Stephanie send you to find me?”

“I can tell that you’re not very enthusiastic about your sister, Stephanie.” He decided to be completely frank. After all, he had to pass this test. Otherwise, Stephanie would never believe him.

He had come this far, and it was already difficult enough to get Jack’s approval. If he was rejected by Stephanie at this point, all his efforts would be in vain.
