The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 382 We’ll See About That

Upon arrival at the Allegra Villa, Amanda stepped out of the bodyguard’s car, whereupon the latter said, “Someone will bring you your car tomorrow.” She then responded with an affirmative hum and walked away without saying a single word.

In the meantime, Crispin was following right behind Amanda closely as he also arrived at the Allegra Villa. After parking his car, he confronted Amanda once again and asked, “It seems that there is more than meets the eye between you and that man. He said he would take something that belongs to you away from you. What would that be?”

Amanda stopped in her tracks and looked back. “Don’t you have anything else better to do than poking your nose into my business? Who do you think you are to demand an answer from me? Worry about yourself?”

“Well, I can’t force you to do what you don’t want, but it seems to me that I just got the goods on you. Think about it-if Elias knows you went out to meet another man tonight, what would he think?”

“What do you want?” Amanda stared at the man before her, questioning her initial judgment for thinking of Crispin as a faithful man. Damn it! Even a dog is much more loyal than this fella.

As Amanda seemed to have fallen for his schemes, Crispin smiled and replied, “Nothing. I just want to tell you that I have my eyes on you, so it’d be wise for you to stay out of my way. If I’m in trouble, things won’t end well between you and Elias either.”

“Do you think you’re capable of pulling that off?”

While Crispin appeared to be rather confident with his sinister plan, Amanda only sniggered. unconcernedly. “Well, we could find that out if you push your luck. After all, it’s every man for himself, and I’m no exception as I would do anything to protect my own interest.”

“Oh, really? We’ll see about that.”

Thus, she made her way to the refrigerator in the kitchen to grab herself a bottle of water and ran into Stephanie, who was making tea there. Ever since she moved into the Allegra Villa, she heard that Stephanie never had to do any of the house chores by herself. Therefore, she couldn’t understand why she was making tea at that moment.
