The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 332 You’re Different, Your Thoughts Are Malicious

Stephanie walked into the villa with curiosity in her heart, while Yacob remained motionless outside the car.

She was puzzled as she turned back and asked, “Aren’t you coming in with me?”

Wasn’t Yacob always by Elias’ side? Why was he standing outside waiting now?

Yacob lazily leaned against the car, crossed his arms, and replied, “There’s no need. You’ll come out later, and I have to drive you back. Besides, you can’t do anything to Mr. Winters, so there’s no need for me to go in.”

His disdainful tone indicated that he didn’t even regard Stephanie as important.

She snorted coldly, then turned and walked into the villa.

Inside the villa, there was no one in sight. Is Elias not here?

She looked around, but she couldn’t locate Elias, so she couldn’t help but call out, “Elias? Are you here?”

At that moment, footsteps sounded from upstairs. She involuntarily looked up and saw Elias in a black suit standing by the railing, looking down at her with a serious expression, as if contemplating something.

Elias took a step forward and descended the stairs slowly.

Stephanie began to feel a little nervous. She swallowed hard and her voice trembled slightly as she said, “Your bodyguard said you wanted to see me.”

He walked down the stairs toward the living room and replied, “Please have a seat. There are some matters I need to discuss with you.”

She tightly clasped the hem of her skirt with her hands. Her body was stiff as she walked over and sat on the couch.
