The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 337 Quick-Witted Amanda

Amanda’s mind was in disarray as she slowly began to recall the events before she fell unconscious.

She remembered that Crispin had told her to take the elevator on the left, and he had then returned to retrieve something.

She ended up not finding her way to the banquet hall before everything suddenly turned pitch black. When she woke up, she overheard a sleazy conversation between two men, and now she found herself lying on a bed.

Amanda sorted out her thoughts and concluded that this was Crispin’s doing.

Does Crispin have the audacity to do this? Perhaps it is at Stephanie’s behest? After all, he claims to be deeply in love with Stephanie and willing to do anything for her.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when the duct tape was suddenly ripped off her mouth, and one of the men fed her some food.

She whipped her head the other way and hissed, “I’ll pay you double the fees. Tell me, who ordered this? Was it Stephanie?”

The man took back the food he had brought to her lips. “Sorry, but we have our rules in this line of work. We can’t betray them, or else no one would dare to hire us again. Just stay here quietly for one night. You’ll be able to go back tomorrow.”

“Hunter, let me feed her. It’ll be a

aste to let such a beautiful woman starve.”

“Enough. She’s not going to be interested in you. Don’t waste your effort.” Hunter scoffed and sat aside to eat his own boxed meal.

Even through the darkness, Amanda could feel the repulsiveness of the man leaning in. She roared, “Get away from me! I’m warning you, if you dare touch me, just wait and see how I deal with you tomorrow. Stephanie won’t be able to protect you then!”

“What a foul temper for such a pretty face. No wonder you’ve gotten yourself into trouble. Whatever! It’s your choice whether to eat or not. I don’t care anymore.”

The other man watched Amanda struggling on the bed and muttered, “Don’t bother. Even if you manage to escape, the two of us can still overpower you. Besides, we don’t know this Stephanie you’re talking about. She’s not the one who hired us. We’re just working for a middleman.”

Amanda let out a cold snort. “Ha! There’s even a middleman involved? How professional. I’ll pay you ten times the price. Give me the middleman’s contact information.”
