The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 372 We’re Equal, A

The wedding finally began.

The Wedding March sounded as Jack entered the venue with a smile. Only Stephanie hooked her arm around her father’s with a sorrowful expression. It was as if she was going through torture.

Meanwhile, Crispin was waiting for them at the altar. His smile was smug and insincere.

Amanda felt a chill running down her spine when she thought of what was ahead of Stephanie.

“Stephanie must be terrified now. She’s marrying a monster that she used to be deeply in love with.”

However, Elias showed no sympathy at all as he mocked. “She had it coming. I had told her about the nature of the man, but she assumed that I was merely sowing discord. I no longer want to be bothered by this matter, but this trashy man surely has some gall to frame me.”

Amanda asked doubtfully. There’s something I don’t understand. What’s the point of Crispin doing that? Stephanie is his girlfriend, so it’s only natural that he wants to do the deed with her. Why did he disguise himself as you and force himself on her, though? There’s no feud between you two, so, why did he frame you?”

Elias snorted. “Don’t you get it? Stephanie already started despising him and was trying to come up with a way to get rid of an obstacle like him.”

“What?!”

Amanda thought that the duo was deeply in love with each other. Stephanie previously wanted to elope with Crispin, so why did she stop loving the man out of nowhere?

Elias glanced at her and said seriously. “You’re her sister, but I’m your man and Aiden is your child. On the other hand, Stephanie has found a poor man. Do you think Crispin is comparable to me at all? It’s only natural that she’s sulky.”

Amanda was astounded, for she didn’t expect that was what was on Stephanie’s mind.

The man continued with a smile, “She wanted to get rid of the poor man, but Crispin certainly wouldn’t give up just like that. It has taken him a lot of effort to come this far, and he’s about to be part of the Allegras. Do you think he’d give up?”

Amanda finally understood everything.
