Chapter 359 Interrogation.
She turned around and wanted to escape, only to run straight into Elias’ chest. As she lifted her head
and met the man’s eyes, she felt an unprecedented sense of shame, and she avoided. his gaze,
looking flustered as she fled in a panic.
Crispin didn’t rush to follow her this time. Instead, he observed the expressions of everyone present,
wanting to make sure they all believed the situation.
“Crispin, go and apany Stephanie,” Edith reminded Crispin, though her heart writhed in pain.
Crispin finally came around and immediately chased after Stephanie. However, the young woman’s
shout came from upstairs. “Nobody follow me!”
He had no choice but to stand there, looking frustrated as if he was experiencing the same. pain as
Stephanie. In reality, he was the mastermind behind all of this, including the scapegoat before him.
Edith broke down and cried upon hearing her daughter’s hysterical cries, whereas Jack infuriatingly
walked up to the man and kicked him in the chest. The man was knocked to the ground before he
coughed up blood, looking seriously injured as if his days were numbered.
“How dare you touch my daughter?! Do you f*cking think you can get away with this?”
Jack had the urge to kill the gardener right then. He regretted ever being lenient and letting the middle-
aged man in, allowing him to defile his daughter.
Still, no matter how they vented their anger and insulted him, the man never exined at word, only
continuously apologizing.
This all seemed off to Amanda, and she wondered if this feeble man could really defile Stephanie. He
even coughed up blood after being kicked, for God’s sake! Hadn’t Stephanie said they spent all night
doing it? Could this man really go that far?
“What’s the use of apologizing now? Can it bring back my daughter’s innocence? Butler! Call the cops!
Send this man to jail! I don’t want to see him for the rest of my life!” Jack fumed, kicking the coffee table
in front of him, his anger burning wildly inside.
“No, we can’t call the cops!” Edith stood up and pulled her husband back. “If we do, our daughter will
bepletely ruined! The whole country will know! You know how the media. blows things out of
proportion and adds fuel to the fire! How can Stephanie ever leave the house again like this?!”
“Are we supposed to let this beast go, then? I fed him and took care of him, provided him a decent life,
and this is how he repays me by defiling my daughter! This is simply sphemy!

Let’s not forget that he even tried to shift the me onto Elias! It’s obviously an attempt to bring chaos
to our family!” Jack’s blood pressure rose, and he felt dizzy all of a sudden.
At that, Edith quickly helped him back to the couch. “Calm down. Let me exin.”
During this, the gardener discreetly nced in a certain direction while kneeling. Only Amanda and
Elias noticed this, for they had been observing him the whole time.
They followed the gardener’s gaze and saw Crispin.
What does that nce mean? Amanda couldn’t figure it out at the moment, but she had a feeling
Crispin was no simple man.
Just as the situation became chaotic, Crispin jumped in again, saying, “I have an idea, Mr. Allegra, but I
don’t know if everyone will agree to it. That said, it can quickly resolve this.
matter.”
“What is it? Tell us, Crispin!” Edith said, looking expectant.

Crispin appeared humble as he suggested, “Let’s send him to prison on charges of theft. Although it
won’tpletely soothe our anger, at least he won’t escape punishment. Secondly, let Stephanie and I
get married as soon as possible. This way, the matter will be settled quickly, and no one will know that
Stephanie went through such a thing. Even if they find out, they won’t dare say anything. As her
husband, I will wholeheartedly protect her.”
Tsk… Amanda was almost moved. What a considerate and caring son-inw. However, she felt that
Crispin seemed very goal-oriented.
The kneeling man, on the other hand, remained silent as if he didn’t care about his fate. He even
seemed indifferent though they might execute him on the spot.
Edith was rather satisfied after hearing the proposal and looked at her husband. “Jack, what do
you think? It’s a good solution. It’ll resolve our anger and send this beast to prison. Our daughter won’t
see him again in her lifetime, and she won’t be reminded of this incident. As long as Crispin takes good
care of her, I believe Stephanie will recover quickly.”
As reluctant as Jack was, he nodded in the end, for it seemed there was no other choice.
“Lift your head,” Amanda said, walking up to the middle-aged man.
“I’m too filthy and unworthy to look at your face,” replied the man, and Amanda sneered. “Are you a
dead mouse who feels no cold? Are you that unbothered even when we want to throw you into prison?
Since you have no remorse, why did you frame Elias? If you wanted to vite Stephane, you had
plenty of chances in this house. Was it necessary to go through. all the trouble and lure her to the
hotel?”
Crispin panicked at once. Why must Bailey always meddle in my ns? Can’t she just mind her own

business?!
“You’re crossing the line, Miss Bailey!” Crispin feigned anger. “Either way, Stephanie is your sister.
Can’t you show somepassion toward her?!”
My goal is right ahead. If Bailey steps in now, I’ll have to start all over! I can’t have her ruin my ns
again!
“Shut up! You have no right to tell me what to do when you haven’t even be a member of this
family!” Amanda barked, ring daggers at Crispin.
Crispin was somewhat stunned, unable to utter a word.
Amanda then turned her gaze back to the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground. “Answer my
question!”
At that, the man snuck a nce at Crispin, who red back at him as though warning him to think
twice about his answers.
After a moment of contemtion, the middle-aged man said, “That’s because I knew Miss Stephanie
liked Mr. Winters. If it were Mr. Winters, she wouldn’t be angry and call the police, blowing the matter
out of proportion.”
“How do you know that? You’re always either digging soil or weeding. You’ve never had a chance to
meet Stephanie. How would you know all of this?” Amanda used herwyer skills. to dig deep into the
matter.
“I heard it from the maids,” the man replied.
While Crispin appeared calm on the outside, he was panicking inside, afraid that Amanda might
uncover something and disrupt his ns once again.
Meanwhile, Amanda pressed on, but Elias suddenly went up to the kneeling man andmanded,
“Tell us in detail how you executed the n. Exin every single step without leaving anything out.”
