Chapter 214
Chapter 214 Jack’s Daughter Is Marrying Elias?!
Amanda was walking toward her parking space when she passed a bus stop with a huge billboard. The
billboard featured a female celebrity endorsing a jewelrypany.
Now why does the female celebrity look so familiar…
As such, she took a closer look and suddenly, realized that the celebrity looked exactly like the woman
who came yesterday-Stephanie Allegra.
Stephanie?! She’s a celebrity?
Amanda never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, so she did not know who the current
hottest female celebrities were.
It was at this moment that two high schoolers came over to wait for the bus and happened to notice the
billboard with Stephanie on it before they sighed.
“Tsk! Isn’t it great having money? She receives better treatment than a celebrity even though she isn’t
one
herself.
“Who wouldn’t want to have Stephanie Allegra’s life? She lives a fairytale and is forever spoiled like a
princess.”
“Exactly! I heard that the jewelrypany is the Allegra Group’s subsidiary, which is why they looked
for his daughter to endorse the product. Stephanie easily earned the endorsement even when many of
the women in the industry would kill to get their hands on it.”
I’m really envious. We only have our births to me. Ha… We should do good things in this lifetime.
Maybe we’ll have a better life in our next lives.”
The bus came then, and the two girls boarded it.
Amanda was left standing there staring at Stephanie on the billboard as surprise shed in her eyes.
Stephanie is the daughter of the Allegra Group, huh? And the princess who is loved by thousands of
people?!
The more Amanda thought of it, the odder it felt.
Why would Stephanie, the daughter of the Allegra Group,e to poke her nose into Amanda’s
personal matters under the pretense of consulting for a divorce?
What is going on?
Elias seemed like he knew Stephanie too, which made Amanda suddenly remember that he had
identally blurted out the woman’s name when he was on the phone.
Amanda’s phone rang again at this time.
When she looked at it again, she realized that this was a client from one of the cases that she was
involved in. Whether she liked it or not, she had to answer whenever a client called.
As such, she took the call and collected her thoughts. “Mr. Worcester, it’s been some time since west
spoke. Is something the matter?”
“Miss Bailey, I’d like to invite you to attend a banquet tonight since a friend who got involved in
something wants to consult you for legal advice. Do you have time?”
“Ah, the thing is, I’m actually on my break. Maybe I can refer you to otherwyers in the firm?”
“That won’t do. I’d prefer to consult you instead. You can juste and sit for a few minutes since
we’re only discussing legal matters.”
Amanda couldn’t extricate herself from the situation, so she could only force herself to agree. “Okay,
then. I’ll be there tonight.”
“Awesome. That’s about it. I’ll wait for you tonight, but don’t bete.”
Soon, night fell.
Since Amanda was attending the banquet, she still needed to dress up a little.
She was in a gown that was the color of the sea, and her long, slightly curly hair reached her waist
while her face was adorned with light makeup.
After she produced the invitation card, the staff allowed her into the reception area.
She nced at the scale of the reception and understood that the guests tonight were somewhat
influential in their own name.
When she entered the reception, she searched for Phineas but could not locate him. She merely
wanted to finish her task quickly and head home to sleep.
I never fancied this type of event in the first ce because everyone feels fake. It’s like everyone is
wearing a mask.
Instead of finding Phineas, she eventually spotted a familiar figure.
A handsome, tall, and charming man….
It was none other than Elias.
Why is he here too?
Amanda immediately wanted tough at herself because she must have spent too much time at home.
Elias already had a lot of social events to attend, so he would be exceptionally busy at this time.
Whenever he needed to employ people, he was forced to attend social events to expand hiswork.
At that point, Phineas finally showed up.
“There you are, Miss Bailey. I have been looking for you,” he eximed as he approached with a ss
of
red wine.
Amanda greeted him with a smile. “Mr. Worcester, I was also looking for you. By the way, didn’t you say
that a friend wanted to consult me for legal advice?”
She wanted toplete the task quickly and leave before Elias spotted her.
Thest thing she wanted to do was to exchange greetings with Elias at such an event.
“Oh, yes. He’s over there. Come, let me take you to him.
As Phineas brought her toward the crowd, Amanda’s expression soured when they got closer.
Why is he taking me in Elias’ direction? Don’t tell me Mr. Worcester’s friend is where Elias is… Can I
tell Mr. Worcester to tell his friend to arrange for another ce for the consultation? This is too
awkward.
Yet, in the end, Phineas stopped behind Elias and said. “Jack, I’ve brought over mywyer, Miss Bailey.
She used to represent me in a litigation matter and secured a beautiful victory for me. You can ask her
if you have any questions.”
Several people in front of them wereughing and chatting when they heard Phineas’ words and turned
around. This included Elias.
The moment Elias saw Amanda, there was a trace of surprise in his dark eyes, but he remained silent
as he observed her.
Since it was a formal event where not everything could be said, Amanda merely responded with a
smile.
“Miss Bailey, let me introduce you. This is Jack Allegra, the chairman of the Allegra Group, Phineas
announced.
Amanda’s expression changed slightly after the introduction because the first thing that came to her
mind. was Stephanie on the billboard at the bus station.
This is Stephanie’s father? Why am I seeing all these strange people for no reason? These few days
have been really weird.
Jack regarded the woman in front of him before he offered a handshake. “Pleasure to meet you, Miss
Bailey. I’m Jack Allegra.”
Amanda froze for a second, but she still smiled and took the proffered hand.

Elias, who was standing aside, was extremely upset at the sight of such a scene and lowered his head
to take a sip of the red wine.
She then politely asked. “Which aspect of the legal issues do you need consultation on, Mr. Allegra? I
need to know everything about it.”
There was a strange atmospherebined with an unspoken sense of mystery as if everyone had
ulterior motives.
Jack nced at the calm Elias before he exined. “The thing is, my daughter is getting engaged next
month, and I would like for a prenup to be drafted. I don’t know much about this, so I wanted to have a
consultation for this.”
Elias frowned in surprise, after which he looked at Jack angrily. It was as if to question, What do you
mean by doing this? This old for is not someone easy to deal with, considering that he’s being
deliberate with his words.
However, Amanda had no idea what was going on. She was about to answer when Phineas
interrupted.
“Jack, you are not being kind. Do you think Mr. Winters is eyeing your properties? Does your daughter
really need a prenup to marry him?”
When Amanda heard that, her smile froze, and she looked as if she had misheard. What did Mr.
Worcester say? Stephanie is marrying Elias?!
