Chapter 262


    Chapter 262 You Shouldn’t Have Come


    Selina’s eyes


    widened in disbelief as she read the unfounded rumors. These people have crossed the line. How


    could they spread and even create rumors when they know nothing? A woman’s life is lost, so how


    could they do such a thing?”


    Amanda sneered. “That’s thest of their concerns. They believe that since they’re anonymous on the


    inte, they can spout nonsense as they please, and there won’t be any consequences. If Elias dares


    to press charges against them, they will boycott the Winters Enterprise’s products and call him narrow-


    minded.”


    “The more I read thesements, the more furious I feel. I don’t want to see it anymore. A vexed


    Selina put down the tablet.


    Just then, an excited Aiden rushed over and asked, “It’s the weekend, Mommy. Is Daddying over


    to head out with me?”


    Well, Elias is probably busy dealing with the scandal right now. I don’t think he’ll have time toe


    over and have fun with his son.


    At the thought of this. Amanda exined patiently, “Baby, your daddy is swamped with work today, so


    we have to be considerate. Don’t you agree?”


    Upon hearing that, Aiden hung his head low. Despite feeling unhappy, he pouted and said, “Alright, I’ll


    have fun on my own today.”


    Amanda touched his face with a smile. “You’re such a good boy. Miss Selina and I will prepare shrimp


    for


    you tomorrow as a reward.”


    “Yay! That’s great!” Aiden turned around and ran back to his room with a joyful expression.


    “Amanda, do you think Mr. Winters might have an affair with the secretary? Otherwise, why did she


    commit suicide all of a sudden?” Selina was interested in the real reason behind Natasha’s death.


    “That’s impossible,” Amanda replied without hesitation. Her response was resolute, as if she


    understood. the man fully well.


    “I’m saying what if-”


    “There’s no what-if.” Amanda cut her off. “I understand Elias, and he’s not that kind of person. Since he


    said Natasha wasn’t his first love, that’s definitely true. I’m not saying that he’s righteous. It’s just that


    he can’t be bothered to lie. That’s because he has the money to bear all sorts of consequences. If the


    rumors were true that Natasha was indeed impregnated with his child-he could’ve let the woman give


    birth to it. It’s not like he’s too poor to raise a child. As such, your what-if doesn’t hold water?


    A convinced Selina dipped her head. “You have a point. It seems that your ex-husband is pretty


    righteous. and reliable.”


    Amanda sneered. “That’s true. Even if he wants to mess with women, he’ll make it clear and won’t let


    them have any hope.”


    Presently, she was watching the television because the news channel was reporting the incident.


    It seemed that she had to head to thepany the next day. Regardless, she was still the legal


    consultant of thepany on paper. Since such a scandal had broken out, she couldn’t just stay at


    home and do nothing.


    The next morning, Amanda put on a suit and headed to the Winters Enterprise. After entering the


    lobby, she saw an elderly couple holding a banner that imed Elias had killed their daughter.


    She stopped in her tracks and looked at them. Are they Natasha’s parents?


    Under normal circumstances, the rtives would deal with the funeral first before they went looking for


    the culprit. Natasha’s parents came to thepany the next day after she passed away, so it was


    apparent that they were after money.


    Just then, a security guard came over and said, “Please hurry up and don’t look at them, Miss Bailey.


    They’ll catch anyone and use Mr. Elias of killing their daughter.”


    “Why do you guys let them stand there?” Amanda asked.


    The security guard replied, “We have no other choice. We’d asked them to head to the reception room


    to have a talk, but they turned down the suggestion. They insisted on staying here and putting on an


    act.”


    “What do you mean?”


    The security guard continued in a hushed voice, “This elderly couple is pretty interesting. On the day


    their daughtermitted suicide, they hade to thepany and demanded money from Natasha.


    They scolded and hit her in front of many people. After they were gone, Natasha ended her own life.


    How do they have the nerve toe here and demand justice?”


    Upon hearing that, Amanda finally understood what was happening and figured out why Natasha


    committed suicide.


    She took another look at the elderly couple, no longer having any sympathy for them. Then, she was


    ready to walk toward the elevator.


    The security guard said politely, “Are you going to see the president? He’ll probably need your legal.


    advice. Please use the elevator on the left as the one on the right is under repair.”


    Thanks, Amanda said and headed toward the elevator.


    When the elderly couple heard the word ‘legal, their eyes brightened as they dashed forward and


    stopped. Amanda.


    “Are you awyer, miss? Can you help get justice for our daughter? She was killed by the president of


    thispany!”


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    A helpless Amanda was pulled back to the lobby. She gazed at the two of them and exined, “Yes,


    I’m awyer, but I’m the legal consultant of thispany.”


    The man asked, “What does a legal consultant dq? Can you get justice for my daughter? I don’t care


    what your title is as long as you can stand up for our daughter.“


    The security guard rushed over and pulled Amanda away from them before standing in front of her.


    “What are you doing, sir and madam? She’s the legal consultant of ourpany, so she’ll only defend


    our rights. If you need awyer, hire one yourself.”


    “What? Are you saying she’ll only defend thispany? Elias had killed my daughter, so how could


    you still help him? You’re a terrible person as well!” The man stared resentfully at Amanda.


    Then, the elderly couple lifted the banner again andmented to the employees about how miserable


    they


    were.


    “Please leave in a hurry, Miss Bailey. Otherwise, they’ll pester you again,” suggested the security


    guard.


    Amanda nodded and entered the elevator.


    Elias was dealing with work in the president’s office when he heard someone knocking on the door


    from the outside.


    Without lifting his head, he said, “Come in.”


    Amanda pushed the door open and saw the man signing a document.


    Even when she sat down in front of him, he was still unaware of her presence. It wasn’t until he was


    done with work and lifted his head that he was met with the woman’s clear gaze.


    He was startled for a moment, but he soon pulled himself together. “Why are you here? You shouldn’t


    havee at this point. There are reporters everywhere.”


    “I’m the legal consultant of thispany, so I have to help deal with the crisis as well.”


    Elias was rendered speechless. To be honest, he didn’t want Amanda to be dragged into this matter.


    She leaned against the chair and cut to the chase by saying, “Have youe up with a way to deal


    with it? The elderly couple is putting all their effort into it. I’ve heard from the security guard that they’ve


    been. standing in the lobby for more than ten hours, even though they are old and frail. They’ve been


    crying andmenting, but they don’t seem exhausted at all.”


    The man snorted. “If they can get exorbitantpensation, their effort will be worth it. They certainly


    hope to stand there for a longer time to get more money.”
