Chapter 383
Chapter 383 Does He Look Like Me?
When Jack and his wife sat at the dining table for breakfast the next morning, Crispin acted like a good
husband with his arm wrapped around Stephanie’s waist. Seeing their lovely interaction, Jack said with
at smile, “How sweet! I’m so grateful and happy to have a son-inw who loves my daughter so much!”
Stephanie was depressed, but to prevent the video from being leaked, she had to pull herself together
and put up with Crispin’s oppression. Crispin, who had his arm around her waist, pinched Stephanie’s
skin to remind her to behave herself. Overwhelmed by the pain, Stephanie forced herself to make a
request to her father on Crispin’s behalf. “Dad, Crispin is so busy with his work now that we hardly see
each other every day, so I think it’d be best if he works in ourpany. That way, I can see him
whenever I go to the office…
Before Stephanie could finish her sentence, Amanda stepped into the dining area and asked, “He is
just a teacher, and what’s he going to do in ourpany? Teach?”
What the heck is Amanda doing?! It looks like she is trying to stir up trouble here. Crispin furrowed his
eyebrows, feeling annoyed. In the meantime, Amanda appeared to be holding a needle in her hand,
and no one quite understood what she was trying to do.
“Why are you holding a needle, Amanda? Is there something you need to sew?” Edith was the first who
noticed the needle in Amanda’s hand.
Amanda sat down beside Crispin and smiled. “Oh, nothing. Actually, I found this on the floor and was
wondering who dropped it so carelessly. Imagine if Aiden identally pricked his hand or something”
“What?” Jack furrowed his eyebrows unhappily.
When Stephanie saw the needle, she subconsciously curled her fingers, her heart stabbed by a sting of
pain. At the same time, her mind was flooded with images of Crispin torturing her, which filled her with
tears.
“Are you alright, Stephanie?” Edith quickly noticed something wrong with her daughter.
The next second, Amanda directly poked the back of Crispin’s hand with the needle, causing him to
scream in agony. “Ah!”
“What the heck is this?!” Jack stood up immediately.eyes
Amanda looked at Crispin with an innocent expression and replied, “I’m sorry, but a tough man like you
should be able to tolerate this. Aren’t I right? Come on, I’m sure you can do this better than a woman.”
Jack reacted with a poker face. “What’s wrong with you, Amanda? Where are your manners?”
“I didn’t do this on purpose, Dad. It’s not like Crispin is going to get mad at me for that, right?” Amanda
spoke in a cocky manner.
Crispin reluctantly endured the pain and pulled the needle out of the back of his hand, responding with
a smile. “Of course not. Why would I do that?”
Meanwhile, Stephanie, who saw that, secretly chuckled, knowing Amanda was trying to stand up for
her.

“Good, I knew my brother-inw was a magnanimous man.” Amanda gave a sarcastic reply in an
attempt to intentionally provoke Crispin. Now, this is what a man without chivalry will get for bullying a
defenselessdy! Have a taste of your own medicine, Crispin!
“Anyway, I have a meeting to attendter, so I’d like to excuse myself now if I may. As for the question
of whether Crispin should join ourpany, it seems to me that his job as a university lecturer is a
pretty fulfilling career. After all, teaching is a noble profession, as well as the most fundamental
essence of education. If he enters ourpany, he is probably going to be bored,” Jack answered,
thinking there was no suitable position for Crispin to take on should he join hispany.
As soon as Jack finished his words and left the dining area, Edith rose from her seat as well. “Enjoy
your meal, folks. I have an appointment with my friends.”
Soon, the dining area was left with only three of them in it. Thus, Crispin dropped his pretense and
asked, “What do you think you’re doing?!”
Amanda folded her arms and looked at the man with contempt. “Nothing, plus I told you it was ant
ident, didn’t I? Don’t tell me a man like you can’t take that.”
“It looks like you’re not afraid I’d tell Elias about your affair with that man fast night.”
“Oh, please go ahead. I dare you to do so, for doing that is only going to grant your death wish even
sooner. That man you think I was meetingst night is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Once
Elias returns, I’m going to tell him the evil deeds that Crispin hasmitted so that he can be driven
away from the Allegra Family as soon as possible.
Wait, what? That man she met is not someone to be trifled with, huh? Crispin was stunned. Who’s the
big shot she met secretly?
“I’m warning you—if you even dare toy a finger on my sister, I’m going to give you the best
acupuncture treatment ever. Try me if you don’t believe it.” Amanda made herself clear and stood
firmly, showing no fear toward Crispin’s oppression.
“Your sister is going to pay the price of your belligerence. I’m going to….” Crispin swallowed his words,
although he was initially going to threaten Amanda with Stephanie’s sex tape. After all, if the Allegra
Family knew what he had done to Stephanie, they would cast him out of the family.
“What are you going to do? Spit it!” Amanda was waiting for Crispin to reveal his intentions.
“Nothing.” Crispin suppressed his anger with a smile, knowing it wouldn’t do him any good if he got on
Amanda’s wrong side at that moment. Therefore, he seized Stephanie’s hand and left the dining area.
As soon as they exited the dining area, Crispin red at Stephanie and threatened her, saying, “How
dare youin to Amanda?! Do you really think she can save you? Even if she can save you, there
is nothing she can do about the tape I have.”
“No, I didn’t tell her anything. She found it out herself, I swear. It wasn’t me!” Stephanie reacted with
panic her eyes filled with horror.
“If you’re scared now, good! Keep it that way. I want you to know that I’ll do my worst if I have to.” To
Crispin, Stephanie was the only person he could keep under his thumb, as well as his ace in the hole.
On the other hand, Yacob came to Aiden’s school to pick him up but had to wait for a few moments.
before the kid finally showed up. “Let me help you.” Yacob volunteered to help Aiden carry his bag.
Aiden pouted in response. “Why is it you again? Where is Dad? Why is he still not here yet? He is
always a liar…”
“He is going to be back soon. Probably in a few more days,” Yacob answered with a smile.
At that moment, a car stopped right in front of them. As soon as the driver opened the door, a
handsome man stepped out of the vehicle. Once he made his presence felt, he radiated a dominant
aura so strong that it drew Yacob and Aiden’s attention. Who is that guy? He doesn’t seem like a
regr person. Despite his best effort to ce that face. Yacob still failed to recall who that person
might be.
“How old are you?” Symeon ignored Yacob and directed his attention to Aiden.
Aiden looked up, fixing his gaze on the man. “That’s none of your business.”
“Let’s go home, Mr. Mills. I want Mommy.” Aiden then seized Yacob’s hand as he couldn’t wait to leave.
With that, Yacob carried the child and looked at the man before him, whereupon he made his way
toward the car.
In the meantime, Symeon didn’t stop them from leaving as he set his eyes on the child in Yacob’s
arms. At that moment, Aiden pulled a smug face at him mischievously while Symeon watched in
amusement. “Does that kid look like me?” He asked the bodyguard right beside him, chuckling.
The guard was stunned since he was not able to give an answer, considering how brief his encounter
with Aiden was. “Um… I think he looks more like his mother. The guard was quick on his feet enough to
think. of a safe answer as he couldn’t find any traits that suggested any sort of resemnce between
Symeon and Aiden.
Symeon carefully recalled Aiden’s boyish appearance and nodded. “Yeah, he looks like his mom. After
all, she’s the one who gave birth to him.”
