The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 342 Have You Developed Feelings for Elias?

Amanda saw Elias chuckling, and he seemed pretty charming while doing so. Intrigued asked, “What’s so amusing? Did I say something funny?”

“Based on your performance last night, I can’t help but think that perhaps you do have: feelings for me,” he responded.

Elias cut straight to the chase and commented, “Do you believe it’s worth resorting to such tactics to win Stephanie’s favor?” It was as if he had already uncovered the truth.

Crispin struggled to suppress his guilt and force a smile. “Mr. Winters, I’m not sure what you’re implying, but I’ll do whatever it takes to make Steph happy because I love her.”

It appeared as though he was playing dumb.
