    Chapter 345 Early Morning Argument


    He then leaned backward, even lighting a cigarette and starting to smoke. Crispin had never dared


    smoke in front of Stephanie to give her the impression that he had excellent morals, and it was clear


    that she had always treated him that way. Had Elias not shown up, she would have remained devoted


    to Crispin but sadly, she now fancied Elias. However, Crispin had to be the Allegras’ son-inw,


    so she could only be his wife.


    Ding! Dong!


    The doorbell suddenly rang.


    Stephanie had arrived, which made Crispin perk up at once. He stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray


    and closed the curtains with a remote before heading toward the foyer.


    Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!


    The doorbell kept ringing as if she was panicking already.


    Crispin eyed the switch on the wall and immediately switched off all the lights in the room, making his


    surroundings pitch ck. After that, he slowly opened the door but hid behind it.


    Meanwhile, Stephanie was confused when the door opened. What is going on? Why didn’t he switch


    on the light? It ispletely dark!


    “Elias, what are you doing here? Why haven’t you switched on the lights? You-” Before she could


    finish, she was dragged abruptly inside by a man’s arm before the door closed quickly.


    “Help! What do you want?”


    She was pushed against the wall and could sense clearly that the man’s body was moving closer. She


    thought that it was Elias, and she somehow blushed involuntarily even if it wasn’t visible in the room.


    “W-What do you want to do to me?” Her voice shook.


    In the next moment, Crispin lowered his head and kissed her forcefully and deeply.


    “Mmph! What are you doing?” Stephanie attempted to struggle but somehow weed it after


    remembering that it was Elias. Her mind was nk. Is it Elias who is forcefully kissing me? Goodness!


    It is amazing yet exciting!


    However, she didn’t know that it was Crispin, the man whom she had loved so entirely before, who was


    doing these things.

    “W-Why are you treating me like this?” She was shy and embarrassed, not even daring to

    look directly at the man even in the dark.


    Crispin replied hoarsely, “Don’t you want it?”


    He then kissed her again, but Stephanie felt that the voice sounded strange. Does Elias sound like


    that? However, she soon lost all rationality and let herself go.


    As for Crispin, the reason he dared to do this was because Elias was attending a banquet in the hotel.


    At that very moment, Elias was chatting with famous figures from different circles. He hadn’t nned


    oning that night but had heard that Amanda would be there, so he attended the asion as well.


    However, he didn’t see her at all, which disappointed him.


    He went to the balcony alone and called Amanda, but he gave up when she didn’t pick up after a long


    while. He soon left the banquet; he might as well go home and rest rather than remain bored there.


    After all, he hadn’t slept much recently since he had been so busy that he didn’t have time to eat.


    He then drove back to Gxy Bay, intending to get a good night’s sleep before going to the Allegra


    Vi to see his son and Amanda. He had been away from them for several days, yet he missed them


    so much that he was losing sleep.


    The following morning, Crispin was nowhere to be seen in room 5022 of Cloudview Hotel, leaving


    Stephanie dozing on the bed until she was awoken by the doorbell. She rubbed her eyes and slowly


    sat up, finding herself lying on the hotel bed as the doorbell continued. ringing.


    Without thinking of recalling what happened the night before, she quickly got up and opened the door,


    carefully hiding behind it.


    The waiter brought breakfast and smiled when the door opened. “Hello, this is your breakfast. One Mr.


    Winters ordered for you.”


    Mr. Winters?


    “Okay, you don’t have toe in. Just push the trolley inside.”


    Stephanie was still undressed, so of course she couldn’t let anyone in.


    The waiter had no choice but to inform her, ‘Call the reception desk when you’re done, and we will


    come and collect it.”

    “I know, I know. Just go.” She closed the door right away and studied the trolley, recalling the waiter


    had just mentioned Mr. Winters.


    Mr. Winters?


    Is he referring to Elias Winters? He is the only one I know with thatst name. So, it’s really him who


    slept with mest night! Stephanie felt happy yet hurt. Why did he disappear so early in the morning?


    Has he fled the room?


    At that moment, Crispin took a stack of cash and handed it to the waiter in the corridor. around the


    corner from the room. “Did you say what I’ve told you to?”


    The waiter took the money. “Don’t worry. I repeated it word for word.”


    “That’s good. Remember to never tell anyone about this or you will be in great trouble,” Crispin


    mentioned with a secretive expression.


    The waiter had been working long enough to know this and nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”


    The Allegra Vi had erupted into chaos early in the morning.


    Amanda had slept in for a while since she had workedte into the night. She checked the time when


    she woke up, nning to go back to sleep. However, she then heard amotion downstairs.


    What is going on?


    She got up and put on her dressing gown before tidying herself up in the bathroom. After changing into


    her usual outfit for home, she left the room.


    Themotion became louder as soon as she left the room, but she couldn’t hear what the argument


    was about. It seemed to be Jack and Stephanie arguing while Edith was trying to pacify them.


    “Why won’t you believe what I say? Do I look like a liar?” Stephanie shouted at her frustration lining her


    tone.


    parents,


    Amanda listened to the argument as she headed downstairs, not knowing what everyone was arguing


    about since she couldn’t understand it.


    Jack was extremely furious and scolded Stephanie, “Shut up and stop talking! Don’t let your sister hear


    anything! Why are you acting like this? Besides, Elias is not that kind of person. You shouldn’t act so


    out of turn!”

    The three Allegras’ expressions changed when they heard her speak. Jack didn’t know where to begin,


    while Edith looked conflicted and hesitant.


    Only Stephanie looked victorious and vindicated as she turned around proudly to meet Amanda’s eyes.


    “Your ex-husband Elias slept with mest night. That’s what happened.”


    Amanda was so shocked that she froze to the
