The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 354 A Sense of Abstinence

Jack even felt somewhat ashamed. He turned his head away, not wanting to meet Elias’ gaze.

Everyone fell silent except for Stephanie, who charged up to Elias angrily while shouting, “Elias Winters, you coward! Why can’t you admit to what you’ve done? You were the one who told me to meet you at the hotel. You were the one who did those things to me! Why don’t you dare admit it?! How can you let me, a girl, face all the gossip and slanders? Are you even a man?!”

Alas, Elias remained indifferent toward Stephanie’s hysterical outcries. In fact, he thought she was being ridiculous. “Why should I admit to what I never did? Didn’t you guys ask that I do a lie detector test? Let’s do it then.”

Stephanie stood frozen in place, wide-eyed, wondering if Elias was really not afraid of a lie detector. Does he think he can deceive the machine?

“Elias, you really won’t yield until the truth’s in front of you, don’t you?! Do you really think you can fool the lie detector?!”

“Have you lost your mind? A lie detector is used to detect true and false statements. Do you really need to blabber about it?” Elias honestly didn’t want to entertain the ridiculous woman anymore, for he thought. every word with her was just a waste of time.

At that, he turned to Jack. “Where’s the lie detector, Mr. Allegra? Let’s get started. I still have many thing to attend to. I don’t have time to waste on some ridiculous test.”

Tension filled the air, and everyone was feeling various emotions.

“It’s in the study. Follow me,” said Jack as he walked toward the study after clearing his throat with everyone following him.

Elias took a gander at Amanda before following Jack.

Amanda, on the other hand, smiled, at ease as she joined everyone in the study, for she knew the man from that night couldn’t possibly be Elias. Left behind were Crispin and Stephanie. Crispin approached Stephanie and said, “Stephanie, let’s go too.”

“Fine! Why should I back down when even he dares to face it?!” Stephanie headed toward the study. angrily.

On the other hand, Crispin remained rooted on the spot, his gaze complicated. Still, the accuracy of the lie detector wasn’t one hundred percent, and having only seventy to eighty percent accuracy wouldn’t prove anything.

Amanda was amazed by what she saw in the study, and she thought her birth father really lived up to hist reputation as an old fox.
