The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 341 Is This How You Treat Me?

Shifting her attention to Crispin, Amanda mocked, “Why are you even here? You’re not the son-in-law of the family yet.”

Jack and Edith shared a look. Both found confusion in each other’s eyes. What are they talking about?

“Mr. Crispin, do you have anything to do with my abduction last night?” Amanda wasn’t the type to beat around the bush, she cut to the chase.

“What are you implying, Miss Bailey? This is a serious matter. I have nothing to do with it.”

However, it didn’t work on Elias, who
