Chapter 215


    Chapter 215 I Won’t Cry for an *ss Like You!


    Amanda thought that she had misheard what was said and looked at the man standing there, disbelief


    written all over her face.


    However, Elias was stoic, as if this matter was unrted to him.


    She stared at him for the longest time possible without detecting any change of expression in him.


    So… Is his silence his way of admitting to it?


    The atmosphere suddenly became awkward since no one dared to speak.


    Amanda was still recovering from the shock, while Elias was full of anger with nowhere to vent his


    frustrations, which left him with no choice but to endure it.


    As for Jack, he had nned for this encounter tonight. He knew that Elias still wanted his ex-wife,


    which was why Elias refused to inform Amanda about the uing engagement. As such, Jack


    wanted to let tonight’s event shatter Elias’ dreams of reconciling with her.


    At the sight of such an embarrassing atmosphere, Phineas couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter


    with everyone? Why are you all quiet? Miss Bailey?”


    Amanda only came back to her senses when she heard her name being called. “Huh? Did you call


    me?”


    “I sure did. How do I say it? You should be familiar with prenups, right?”


    She averted her gaze from the man’s face and forced a smile. “Yes, I’m quite familiar with it. If you


    need it. Mr. Allegra, I can help you draft a prenup.”


    At that moment, she felt a myriad of emotions wash over her. Elias is getting engaged to the daughter


    of the Allegra Group, huh? Heck, I didn’t even know about it and even stupidly went for dinner with him


    yesterday! Can I be any stupider than this? No wonder Stephanie came to look for me yesterday to ask


    about the divorce. It’s because she wants to know Elias in a better light.


    At this thought, Amanda wanted to p herself. How can I have been so stupid? No wonder they


    wanted me and Aiden abroad. It looks like we’re in the way of their marriage. Ah, how pathetic….


    Amanda looked at the man standing before her. It felt like they were so close yet worlds apart.


    At her words, Jack raised an eyebrow. “Really? That’s great. We can discuss the details when we are


    free. The engagement ceremony is next month, with the marriage being scheduled for the end of the


    year. We don’t have much time.”


    The engagement ceremony is next month… Marriage is scheduled for the end of the year… Ha!


    Amanda felt like blood was dripping from her chest. She didn’t even know why it hurt so badly. It was


    as though her heart was being torn apart.


    Elias was now her ex-husband, who was also someone whose remarriage had nothing to do with her.


    Still, it hurt. It hurt so bad no words could be used to describe the pain.


    She felt like a joke.


    Amanda felt that she couldn’t stay for even a second longer and tried to hold back her tears.


    “Mr. Worcester and Mr. Allegra, I have something urgent to attend to. Why don’t we discuss it further


    next time? If you need a prenuptial agreement to be drafted, feel free to contact me then.”


    Phineas had no idea what was happening and tried to stop Amanda from leaving. “Miss Bailey, you’re


    already leaving even when you just arrived? Please stay a bit longer. I have other friends to introduce


    to you. You guys might even have a coboration in the future. They are quite generous.”


    He had always wanted to introduce his contacts to Amanda so that she could make more money for


    herself.


    “I really have something on. We’ll chat another day.”

    Amanda felt that she could no longer control her tears, so she quickly fled the scene.


    “Miss Bailey? Miss Bailey!” No matter how Phineas screamed, Amanda never once looked back.


    As Elias watched Amanda leave, he grabbed his wine ss for dear life while the displeasure was


    expressed on his handsome face.


    Jack, who was standing next to him, had a satisfied smile.


    Now that Amanda was aware of Elias’ engagement, they were bound to argue.


    Once they quarreled, they would go their separate ways, and that was what Jack wanted.


    Elias gritted his teeth and queried. “Mr. Allegra, what is the meaning of this? You’re doing this on


    purpose, aren’t you?”


    This old fox had definitely done it on purpose to give him hell so that all the obstacles blocking his


    daughter’s marriage would be removed.


    Jack swirled his ss and slowly denied, “I don’t understand what you mean. What’s the matter? You


    know Miss Bailey? I saw that she was staring at you and looked as if she was about to burst into tears.


    You didn’t even say hi! Tsk!”


    Elias had no answer to that, and without saying a word, he set aside his wine ss and rushed out of


    the banquet hall.


    Jack watched Elias’ angry retreating figure and whispered, “Go on. This is life. Some quarrels are


    meant to happen. You can only start over once you have quarreled.”


    He looked at his wine ss and chuckled.


    Since Elias wanted to be the son-inw, he obviously had to perfect his personal life. Jack would not be


    as stupid as to allow his precious daughter’s happiness to be threatened by Elias.


    Amanda arrived at the parking space and walked toward her car.


    Her tears still streamed down her face uncontrobly as she swiped at them and quickened her pace.


    “Ouch!” She sprained her foot, and she almost fell t on her face.


    She looked down and noticed that the heel of her shoe was broken, so she removed it and held it.


    All she wanted to do now was get out of this ce quickly.


    I must be out of my mind! Why the f*ck did I agree toe? I’m just setting myself up for shame. Even


    though only Elias knows that I’m his ex-wife, I still feel ashamed.


    Suddenly, there was the sound of a man’s footsteps behind her, and she heard Elias’ voice. “Amanda.”


    As soon as she heard the voice, she froze a second before she jogged toward her car.


    Although the ground was cold, she didn’t feel the chill. In fact, what she felt was nothing but heartache.


    When Elias saw that Amanda did not look back, he quickly reached out to her and grabbed her slender


    wrist to pull her back.


    “What are you doing? Let go! You should apany your father-inw. Why did youe after me?”


    Amanda did not even want to look at the man as she felt disgusted when he appeared in her sight.


    She already noticed that there was something strange in Elias’ behavior for the past few days. At first,


    she


    detail involving thought she was thinking too much, and maybe he was merely being insistent on every


    his grandfather’s funeral.


    It turned out that he was getting married. That was why he rushed to send her and Aiden out of the


    country. What a hypocritical man.


    On the other hand, Elias was shocked when he saw her tear-streaked face.


    Is she really so upset to hear that I’m getting engaged?


    “Are you crying?”


    “No, I’m not! I got sand in my eyes! I won’t cry for an “ss like you!”


    Amanda shoved the man’s hand away and was about to leave. However, she was once again pulled


    back. forcefully by Elias.
