The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 474 Locked in the Basement

Amanda, her mind in complete disarray, couldn’t believe the kidnapper’s phone was found in her room-how was that even possible?

“Amanda, even if you despise me, you shouldn’t do this. I was really scared. Do you know how terrifying the kidnapper was? I almost got killed…” Rosie sobbed, leaning into her brother’s embrace.

Taylor sighed and comforted his sister, “It’s okay. It’s okay now.”

“You two go back to the car!” Elias ordered the two without turning his head around.

“Eli, don’t be too harsh on Amanda. Maybe… she was just confused for a moment. I believe she wouldn’t do something like this when she’s in her right mind…” Rosie shouted toward Elias’ back in a feigned sympathetic tone while Taylor pulled her away, leaving behind the rainy, gloomy, and damp-smelling factory.

Rosie looked back at the man’s angry silhouette, unable to suppress a smirk.

As the footsteps of the Momsey siblings grew distant, Elias walked step by step toward Amanda, his gaze reminiscent of someone looking at a lunatic.

Amanda kept shaking her head, her feet pushing back involuntarily, tears streaming down her pale face. “It wasn’t me. I’m not the kidnapper, I really am not…”

“What do you mean ‘not?’ The evidence is conclusive. What do you want all this money for?!” Elias grabbed Amanda by the neck, his anger not directed at the ten million in cash but at Amanda’s motives.

With the slightest mistake, Rosie could’ve been killed. Did Amanda really want to kill Rosie?

“Why don’t you believe me? I told you I came here because of that phone call, the one who called me during the day. He said you were injured, so I came here!”

“How do you explain the kidnapper’s phone and SIM card in your room then? What about that voice changer?”

“Those aren’t mine; someone must be trying to frame me!” Amanda’s mind raced, but she couldn’t figure out who would want to set her up.
