    Chapter 238 Taking What One Needs.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Elias always responded coldly regardless of what Jack said, leaving him helpless.


    “Fine. I don’t care about your matters, but you better handle your affairs properly. Please don’t miss


    your date with Steph today” Jack finished speaking and stood up to leave. He was displeased with


    Elias but had to endure it since it hade to this point.


    Otherwise, what will happen to the engagement banquet at the end of the month? My close friends in


    the circle are already aware of the nned union between the Allegra and Winters Families. However,


    most people don’t know it yet. I’ll be aughingstock if it falls apart and the wedding is canceled.


    Elias watched Jack’s departing figure and let out a mockingugh. He not only teased Jack but also


    himself.


    His phone started vibrating, so he nced at it and saw a call from Oscar. He answered the phone,


    and Oscar reported, “Mr. Winters, Miss Murphy refuses to leave. I told her it was your wish, but she


    refused to go and said you should drive her out yourself.”


    A trace of annoyance appeared between Elias’ brows, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. “Alright, I


    understand. Go about your duties.


    Grace is so troublesome, like a piece of gum that I can’t shake off.


    After hanging up the phone, a person suddenly came to his mind. Perhaps this person could help him


    eliminate the trouble caused by Grace. The corner of his mouth curved into a smile as he slowly stood


    up and left the meeting room toward the office.


    When he pushed open the door to the office, he saw Yacob putting the child to sleep on the couch with


    a nket and keeping an eye on him while Stephanie was sitting on the opposite side. She looked


    bored as she flipped through a finance magazine and asionally rolled her eyes at the sleeping child.


    When Yacob saw him enter the office, he immediately stood up. Elias gestured for him to sit down.


    “Stay with the child. I’m going out to talk to Miss Allegra. Miss Allegra, let’s have a cup of coffee. He


    then turned and walked out after saying this.


    Stephanie was also restless, so she dropped the finance magazine in her hand and slowly left the


    office. after a stretch. If it weren’t for my father’s insistence on waiting for Elias to finish the meeting and


    try on clothes with him, I wouldn’t be foolishly waiting here.


    The two arrived at the cafe on thepany’s third floor and sat in a window seat.


    The weather was lovely today, and the gentle sunlight reflected against Elias’ facial features. Such a


    scene made him look like he was from aic series because of how wless and impable he


    looked.


    For a brief moment, Stephanie was captivated by the man’s appearance.


    “What are you looking at?” he asked coldly. He did not like being stared at like that. He found it


    annoying when someone gazed at him nkly.


    After hearing his voice, she returned to her senses and averted her gaze. “Oh, nothing. Why did you


    choose this table? The sunlight is so strong that it’s blinding”


    “Just letting some light into your brain,” he retorted mercilessly.


    His rudement left Stephanie stunned as she did not expect his straightforwardness. “Who are you


    insulting? Did you call me here just to say that, Elias?” She noticed that he always managed to provoke


    her and get furious easily


    Elias picked up his coffee and took a sip. “Back to the point, we can coborate again for our benefit.”


    Coborate? What do you mean by coborating?” she asked.


    “You help me get rid of someone, and I’ll help you find Crispin and arrange a meeting for you.” He


    believed that the conditions he offered were tempting enough or even sufficient to entice Stephanie.


    Indeed, her eyes widened. “Are you serious? Deal! You can just tell me who you wish to get rid of


    A smile crept onto his lips. “You truly have deep feelings for that man. It’s touching”


    “Enough with the nonsense. Tell me!” She simply did not want to drag Crispin down. Her father was


    intentionally punishing her by targeting Crispin.


    Elias replied, “Yacob will take youter. Once you finish the task, I’ll take you to meet Crispin in the


    evening.”


    “So, you know where Crispin is being held?”


    She thought Elias had no idea, but it seemed she underestimated his capabilities. The man remained


    silent and gave her a meaningful nce to let her interpret it herself.


    Winters Estate.


    Elias took the children to the amusement park. At the same time, Yacob drove Stephanie back to the


    Winters Estate and was ready to execute their n. “I didn’t expect the Winters Estate to be so grand


    and massive,” she remarked.


    She believed the Allegra Family’s mansion was already impressive since it was created with billions of


    dors by her father. She never imagined the Winters Family estate to be even more extravagant.


    Yacob remained silent and led her to Grace’s residence.


    Jennifer had been sent to a recuperation facility. Still, Grace continued to linger there, iming to wait


    for her to return. At that moment, she was watching a movie in the cinema room. She had grown


    ustomed to life there and was even willing to spend her whole life at Winters Estate.


    Since Grace’s appearance was ruined, she would only be subject to ridicule by everyone if she went


    outside. It was better for her to hide here since the ce was isted from the world, where no one


    dared to mock her.


    Yacob pushed open the doors to the theater, and the movie abruptly stopped.


    Stephanie walked in and saw Grace sitting in the seat. Before she could say anything. Grace angrily


    shouted, “Who are you? Get out! Leave!” Then, she hurriedly covered her cheeks to avoid anyone


    seeing the scar on her face. She increasingly felt like a clown and did not want to see anyone.


    “Afraid of facing people? How dare you meet my fiancé! Do you think he would like you in your current


    state? What are you doing here clinging on?” Stephanie was being sarcastic, and even Yacob could


    not help but chuckle.


    Perhaps only Stephanie could handle Grace Murphy.


    “What did you say? Say that again: I dare you! I used to be much prettier than you! Do you think Elias


    would like you?” Grace did not believe he would be interested in this daughter of the Allegra Family


    Compared to my appearance and Amanda’s, who isn’t more substantial than this b*tch?


    That was the reason for her anger. How could Elias’ taste have downgraded so much?


    What made Grace even more furious was that although Stephanie was not as beautiful as she and


    Amanda, her family background was something they could never catch up to in several lifetimes. I can


    stillpete if Elias pursues beauty, but I cannot win if he seeks power.


    Stephanie crossed her arms and mocked, “So what? He chose me and not you in your current state.


    Do you even dare to call yourself beautiful? Perhaps I should buy you a mirror”
