Before Yacob could get out of the car to open the door for Elias, thetter already pushed the door
open and walked toward the forest.
What is Amanda doing here? It’s getting dark.
Elias walked into the forest with questions in his mind. He began to look around for Amanda.
“Mr. Winters!” Yacob tried to follow Elias. He didn’t dare to let Elias out of his sight even for a
moment.
However, Elias coldly ordered, “Stay where you are. Don’t follow me.”
Yacob did not answer and did as was told. He didn’t try to move after Elias made his words clear.
In the forest, Amanda had arrived at the crash site. The police had cleaned up the site, so she couldn’t
find anything useful around other than the marks the car left when it flipped over.
She knew something was wrong when she saw the crash site at first sight. Why did Elias drive into the
forest? How did the car flip over? It more or less has to do with the steering wheel, which caused the
driver to lose control over the direction. Was there something wrong with the car? Knowing Elias, his
luxury cars must go through regr car maintenance. Such a fault is unlikely to happen unless
somebody is behind
She remembered the call Grace had in the hospital. The other details also suggested that the ident
was nned.
I wish Elias was here. At least I can ask him what happened during the ident.
A man’s deep voice came from behind without a warning. “What are you doing?”
The unexpected voice startled her. Amanda turned around in the direction of the voice with. widened
eyes. She sighed in relief and patted her chest to soothe her heartbeat when she found Elias standing
there.
“You nearly scared me to death! Don’te up behind me without making a sound!”
Elias took a few steps forward and stopped before her. “I wasn’t trying to hide the sound of my
footsteps when I walked here. It’s just that you’re preupied with your thoughts.”
His honesty left her speechless as she indeed wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings earlier.
“What are you doing here?” Elias repeated.
Amanda tilted her chin at the area. “I came here to check on the site. By the way, I have a question for
you. What exactly happened that day? Why did you drive the car into the forest?”

Her question put a slight frown on his face. What made her start investigating the ident? Does she
know something?
“What did you find?”
“Oh. There’s nothing so far, but it gives me a strange feeling. After all, I know you’re a skillful driver.
Knowing you, you wouldn’t have driven off the road into the forest during a rainy day.
Since Amanda hadn’t found solid evidence, she kept her answer vague.
“I lost control over the steering wheel that day, Elias mused out loud. When the ident happened, he
tried to grab the steering wheel, only to find he didn’t have control over it. Therefore, his car ran straight
into the forest. He couldn’t remember what happened afterward.
“I see. There’s one more thing. You studiedputer science at university, right? I remember that you
invented a mini listening device in the past. Do you still have it? Did youunch it into the
market?”
Amanda remembered finding out about the products Elias researched four years ago, and it made him
a genius in her mind. A listening device, which was as thin as paper, he was developing four years ago
came to her mind. She dared to call it the pinnacle of listening devices. However, she no longer paid
attention to its development, so she was wondering if he hadunched it into the market or not.
Elias was taken aback by her question. I didn’t expect her to remember it after all these years.
“No, I didn’t. It takes a high cost and a long time toplete, so Grandpa advised against putting it on
the market.”
“I see. Fine, then.” Amanda was disappointed to hear that. After all, she was somehow fond of the
product.
The disappointment on her face didn’t go unnoticed by him. He prompted, “Are you interested in it?
Even though it’s not in the market, I have a few samples with me.”
“Are you serious? Can I have one?”
“Who are you going to use the device on?” Elias squinted his eyes unhappily. Not only was his curiosity
bugging him, he felt jealousy rooted in his mind.
Who is the person that is worth Amanda’s attention?
An excuse urred to her. “Awyer always needs to gather evidence. I need to collect the evidence
for a case. Can I borrow the device from you?”
Even though her excuse didn’t convince Elias entirely, he decided to lend her the bug.
“Sure. You need my help to install it, though. Where are you going to install it? At home or on a

phone?”
“On a phone, obviously.”
Amanda nned to install the device on Grace’s phone, so she could learn whether the woman was
responsible for the ident or not..
“I left them at home. You have toe home with me to take it,” Elias exined in a low voice.
“Lead the way.” Amanda gave him a curt answer. The reason for her urge to find out the truth.
remained unknown to herself.
Amanda returned to the manor with Elias.
The pair went into the study room. Elias took out the micro listening device before reaching out his
palm to her. “Give me the phone.”
“Sure!” She immediately gave him her phone.
The next moment, he brought her phone and the device to hisputer before he inserted a bunch of
commands into theputer. He slowly began. “Now the device is bound to your phone. You can stick
it to the other phone. When the owner gets a call on their phone, you’ll receive a notification on yours
as well. From that time on, you can listen to their conversation.”
Elias’ exnation was mesmerizing. She had to admit that he was a charismatic person. Moreover, he
was wealthy and talented. She could see why women threw themselves at him.
“I understand. Thank you.”
She took the listening device and studied it as if it was a treasure. He’s a genius to create such an
unassuming device. People would never catch it.
Elias studied her side profile and he couldn’t help but shoot her a question. “Who are you intending to
use it on? Is it a man or a woman?”
“A man” His curiosity would only get in her way. Therefore, Amanda gave him the opposite
answer.
It put a scowl between his brows. “A man?”

The words drove him mad. Is she tapping a man’s phone? Who is it? Is it Simon?
Amanda lowered her voice and whispered, “A female client of mine’s husband cheated on her. She
asked me to gather evidence of her husband’s affair. The bug wille in handy.”
Her words smoothened the creases between Elias’ brows and somehow eased his mind.

“Remember to tell me once you put the device on your target’s phone. I’ll turn on the permission to tap
their phone when they’re on a call.”
“No problem. I’ve got to go. And you’d best take care of yourself.”
After that, Amanda turned to leave.
At that moment, a thought urred to her. She turned around to watch the man sitting behind the desk.
“Aren’t you supposed to stay in the hospital for recovery? Why did youe back here?”
“It’s boring to stay in the hospital. It’s the same staying at home.”
“Sure, but don’t run around like that with an injury, alright? Your wound might reopen and get an
infection. With that final reminder, she finally left for the door.
Elias wanted to ask her to stay, but her receding figure sent a pang of pain through his heart.
She’s a heartless and ungrateful woman.
