The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 352 Lie Detector

Jack and Edith exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

“Amanda’s right. We can’t sweep this issue under the carpet and leave it at that. I will find that scoundrel. I can’t have my two girls suffer a grievance,” Jack growled angrily.

Edith echoed as well. “We have time. I believe Elias will soon uncover the truth.”

Immediately, Crispin felt uneasy. The whole family was united in their desire to discover the truth, but if they did find it, he’d be the one in hot water. Meanwhile, from Stephanie’s perspective, her parents were purely biased toward Amanda.

They don’t care about my feelings at all! With a loud slap, Stephanie angrily slammed her palm on the table, startling everyone present.

She sprang up and exclaimed, “Mom, Dad, don’t you think you’re being too biased?! Why won’t any of you believe that I’m telling the truth?! Won’t let your two girls suffer a grievance? Huh, more like not letting Amanda suffer any grievances! All you guys care about is whether she’s upset. You don’t care about how I feel at all!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?! How am I being biased now?! Have we not spoiled you growing up? Your sister has only returned to us in about a month! Besides, this whole thing is not adding up. Should we not investigate it thoroughly? How are we supposed to believe who’s right or wrong when Elias won’t admit to his actions and you can’t provide any substantial evidence?!” Jack was furious at this point, thinking his younger daughter was becoming increasingly unreasonable, still behaving willfully when she had caused massive trouble.

“Stephanie, we’re doing this for your own good. Don’t you want to know who that beast was that night? Your father is also looking into the matter. If it really was Elias, your father won’t show him mercy..

However, before Edith could finish her words, tears streamed down Stephanie’s face like a never-ending waterfall as she sobbed, “Why are you guys like this?! It was obviously Elias, but why won’t any of you believe it?! Your daughter has been defiled, yet you choose to believe in Elias rather than me?! Why would you think he would admit to a shameless act he has committed?!”
