    The next morning, Jack and Edith were having breakfast in the dining hall while the driver sent Aiden to


    school.


    Amanda had to head to thew firm to check on the renovation progress, for she wanted to start


    working sooner. It felt terrible staying at home all the time. Moreover, she wasn’t someone who could


    stay idle. When she entered the dining hall and saw her parents, she said, “Good morning, Mom and


    Dad.”


    Jack replied with a smile, “Did you go to bedtest night? I heard that Elias stayed over. Where is


    he?”


    “Oh, he went to work early in the morning. He’ll be quite busy today,” Amanda exined and sat down.


    beside Edith.


    Just then, Crispin and Stephanie stepped into the dining hall as well. He instantly turned from a violent


    husband into a humble son-inw. “Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Allegra. Steph and I will be heading to


    the airport after breakfast, so we’d like to bid you farewell first.”


    “Sure, just forget about everything else and have fun on your honeymoon trip. You must take good care


    of my daughter, Crispin,” Edith said with a smile.


    Crispin nodded with a smile and pulled out a chair for Stephanie to sit on.


    When Amanda saw how hypocritical the man was, she said to her father nonchntly, “Any update on


    Steph’s case, Dad? I heard that Raymondmitted suicide in prison. Something fishy seems to be


    going


    on.”


    Crispin’s expression changed when he leard that. He was resentful of Amanda for being sharp-tongued


    and always targeting him.


    “I’m still looking into the matter, but I haven’t found any clues yet.” Jack frowned at the mention of this


    matter.


    Stephanie looked at Amanda, her gaze seemingly asking for help.


    Amanda certainly understood her intentions, so she nced at her sister and asked, “Are you sure you


    want to go on a honeymoon trip. Steph? That will be boring, and you must be exhausted from dealing


    with the wedding. Why don’t you get more rest instead?”


    Stephanie, who was ready to agree with her sister, replied, “I-”


    Before she could finish her words, Crispin cut her off. “Amanda, honeymoon is every woman’s dream


    after a wedding, so I don’t want to let Steph regret not having the trip in the future.”


    Amanda sneered. “Do you think my sister is a mute or something? Why do you always speak for her?”


    At that, Crispin was startled for a moment. He smiled in embarrassment and nced at Stephanie with


    a gaze that seemed to act as a warning for her not to say any nonsense.


    “I… I..” Stephanie was hesitant to tell everyone the truth. A momentter, she said to Amanda, “I think


    I’ll go.”


    When Jack noticed Amanda’s hostility toward Crispin, he reminded her by saying, “Crispin is part of our


    family now, Amanda. As such, you have to be gentler to him. I heard that you argued with his mother


    last night.”


    “Dad, arguing with Mrs. Coyote was thest thing I wanted. However, she called me a b*tchst night.


    Could you have put up with it if you were me?”


    Jack appeared astounded. “What? Did she call you that?”


    Crispin was flustered upon seeing the older man’s expression, so he hurriedly exined, “I’m sorry, Mr.


    Allegra. My mother is a vige woman who can be brusque sometimes, so she maye across as


    rude to Amanda. I’ll apologize to all of you on her behalf. I’m truly sorry.”


    Disdain was written all over Jack’s face. “Tell your mother not toe again. We want nothing to do


    with ill-mannered people. Also, I don’t want to hear anyone calling my daughter names. If the same


    thing. happens again, don’t me me for being harsh.”


    With that, he got to his feet and left the dining hall.


    Edith eased the tension with a smile, saying, “Alright, just make sure it won’t happen again. Let’s have


    breakfast. You guys have to head to the airport, after all.


    Crispin dipped his head with a smile, but a seed of resentment was nted in his heart. I have to teach


    Amanda a lesson. Otherwise, she’ll destroy me sooner orter!


    After breakfast, Amanda arrived at thew firm and saw that the renovation was almostplete. She


    just had to buy some office supplies and hire some workers before her firm couldmence business.


    Just then, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.


    She took a look and realized it was a call from Esmos. Since she had no intention of picking it up.


    rejected it straight away.


    she


    Since her return, most of her clients were from Cludan. She had also stopped contacting her friends


    and former colleagues in Esmos.


    Much to her surprise, she received a call from the same person again a momentter. After hesitating


    for a bit, she decided to connect the call.


    “Hello?”


    “Are you Miss Bailey?”


    Amanda was startled for a moment before replying, “Yes. Who are you?”


    “Did you give birth to a child in Pleybia Hospital three years ago?”


    A hint of doubt formed on Amanda’s alluring face. “What’s the matter?”


    “You only have to reply yes or no.”


    “What if it’s a yes?”


    “Then, you’re the person we’re looking for.”


    Amanda was perplexed as to what the other party was talking about. What does he mean that I’m the


    one they’re looking for? “I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do you want?”


    The man replied, “We’ll be arriving in Cludan in five days. Let’s meet up by then. My master see you.”


    His master?


    “Who is your master? Do I know him?”


    She had many clients when she was in Esmos, but no one would be concerned about where she had


    given birth. What are they up to?


    She couldn’t figure out what the other party was trying to achieve.


    “Let’s talk about it when we meet.”


    He hung up the call the next moment, leaving Amanda in bewilderment. She looked at the contact


    number from Esmos, feeling perplexed.


    What on earth just happened? After giving it some thought, she decided to cklist the contact


    number. For some reason, she had a feeling that the other party was dangerous.


    When she was done monitoring the renovation progress in the evening, Elias called and said he would


    like to have dinner with her.


    She agreed to it and left the building, only to see the man waiting for her.


    She got into the car and realized there was a hint of joy on the man’s handsome face. It seemed that


    he was in a good mood. “Why are you treating me to a meal all of a sudden? What’s the asion?”


    “Can’t I treat you to a meal for no reason? We can have dinner together whenever we feel like it, right?”


    A smile formed on Elias’ face as he stepped on the gas pedal and left the ce.


    They soon arrived at a restaurant that served Cludanian food. Elias didn’t let the woman touch the


    menu since he knew she had trouble choosing dishes, so it would take her a long time before she


    could even ce an order. As such, he did the honors instead.


    “I’m going on an overseas business trip, so I won’t be around for a week. Don’t confront Crispin during


    this period, and I’ll deal with him when I return. Meanwhile, I’ll get Yacob to protect you.”


    “I’m not a fool, so I understand. You’d better take Yacob with you, for you’ll need a bodyguard when


    you’re overseas. I stay at the Allegra Vi most of the time, so no one can harm me.”


    Amanda shrugged. No wonder he wants to treat me to a meal. He’s going on a business trip for a


    week.


    “Keep your guard up and protect yourself. Also, don’t forget about your promise. The man curled his


    lips.


    Amanda was startled for a moment before realizing he was talking about their remarriage. She picked


    up her ss and took a sip of water. “I won’t go back on my word.”
