Meanwhile, inside the study, Jack emanated anger as his expression w

“Dad, save me! I want to divorce Crispin! I want a divorce!” Stephanie rushed into the study as if her life
depended on it and hid behind her father.
Jack supported her unsteady body and furrowed his brows. “Regretting it now, huh? Do you want a
divorce now? Didn’t I warn you about this? You didn’t listen to a word I said. You even had the audacity
to run away from home and elope with that man!”
Stephanie couldn’t utter a single word. She simply continued sobbing with her head held low. She knew
she had made a mistake. It was her misjudgment that led her into the scoundrel’s trap.
“I was wrong… I’m sorry, Dad…” Jack seemed to already know everything, and he didn’t say anything
else. Instead, he shielded her behind him. Outside, they could already hear Crispin’sposed and
steady. footsteps drawing near. When Stephanie heard those footsteps, she was stricken with fear. She
was now terrified of this man as if he were a ghost.
“Did you call for me, Mr. Jack?” Crispin entered the study, still wearing an innocent smile on his face.
With a resounding smack, Jack angrily mmed his hand onto the desk. “I never expected you to have
such audacity! I demand that you immediately divorce Stephanie and leave the Allegra Family! We will
not tolerate having a son-inw like you!”
Indeed, Crispin disyed no signs of panic. Instead, he smiled. “Why are you acting like this, Mr. Jack?
Weren’t you moved by me? Why the sudden change of heart?”
“Get out! Get out now! I will have mywyer handle the divorce proceedings with you!” Jack no longer
wanted to see this se mbag.
At one point, Jack thought his eyes were ying tricks on him. Perhaps he had truly misjudged Crispin,
but the man didn’t disappoint him at all; he perfectly embodied the impression Jack had formed when
he firstid eyes on him, deceitful and cunning.
“Mr. Jack, we- Just as Crispin was about to speak, Jack shouted angrily, “Get out! I don’t want a son-in-
law like you!”
“You can’t put it that way. I married your daughter when her reputation was tarnished-”
“How dare you bring that up?! Stefan! Bring someone in and throw this animal out!” Jack was boiling
with anger as he called for the butler.
Within seconds, the butler and the bodyguards entered the study.
Crispin surveyed the scene before him and knew he wouldn’t have a favorable oue if he continued
to cling on and not leave. A wise man knew when to retreat, so he departed.
He cast a profound gaze at Stephanie, who was hiding behind Jack, then turned around and left the
study, bidding farewell to the family for good.
As Crispin stood outside the Allegra Family’s vi, he turned to look at the house and chuckled to
himself. saying, “It won’t be that easy to chase me out. Since it’s a divorce proceeding. I won’t hold
back.”
He would hire the bestwyer and strive to secure as many benefits as possible.
In the evening. Amanda and Elias returned home after spending the entire day outside ying with
Aiden. Upon their return, they noticed a somber atmosphere enveloping the entire house.
Just then, the butler approached them and asked, “Miss and Mr. Winters, have you had dinner yet? Do
you need the kitchen to prepare any food for you?”
“No, we’ve already eaten. By the way, why does the atmosphere feel strange? Where are my parents?
Also, where’s Stephanie?” Amanda asked.
The butler calmly exined what had transpired during the day, saying, “Well, after you took Mr. Aiden
out this afternoon, the chairman chased Crispin out and proposed a divorce. The divorce proceedings
will
Elias remained unsurprised andmented, “Fits his style of doing things, decisive and swift.”
“You knew about this? Am I the only one who didn’t know anything about it?” Amanda felt like she had
been kept in the dark all day.
Elias cradled their sleeping son in his arms and exined, “I’ve already handed the evidence I found to
Mr. Allegra. I shouldn’t interfere with how he handles it since it’s a family matter.”
Amanda was lost for words when she realized that she was the only one who remained uninformed.
Following that, Elias walked toward the elevator, and Amanda followed suit. Upon returning to their
room, they gently ced their son on the bed and covered him with a nket.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Then, Elias gestured for her to step outside. It seemed like he had something to say to her. Amanda
followed him out of the room and closed the door quietly, not wanting to disturb their child. “Bring your
ID along with you at 8.00AM tomorrow. I’ll have Yacobe pick you up.”
“Huh?” Amanda waspletely bewildered. She couldn’t understand what was happening.
“What for?”
Elias’ handsome face showed a hint of calmness. “We’re getting married again, of course.”
“Us? Getting married?” Elias nodded slowly and asked, “Why? Are you having second thoughts? I’ve
fulfilled your requirements, so you have no reason to refuse me. Besides, I have to face the heir of the
Lawrence Family now, and he’s not easy to deal with. If I don’t even have a status, how can I have the
qualifications to confront him?”
Although his reasoning made some sense, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was taking advantage
of the situation. She hesitated to have such a hasty remarriage. When Elias noticed her hesitation, it
only strengthened his determination to remarry as soon as possible. He feared that Amanda might
change her mind at thest moment.
That’s settled, then. I’ll have Yacobe pick you up in the morning. I have some matters to attend to
tonight, so I won’t be sleeping here.” If it weren’t sote, he would have eagerly taken Amanda to the
city hall to register their second marriage.
“Hey, you- Amanda wanted to say something, but he seemed afraid of her refusal as he turned and
walked toward the elevator without giving her a chance to speak.
Feeling helpless, Amanda shook her head and decided to talk to Jack. She guessed her parents were

quite down at the moment. As soon as she turned around, she saw Stephanieing out of the room.
Before she could say anything, Stephanie embraced her and burst into tears, saying. Thank you,
Amanda. I’m finally going to be free. I can divorce Crispin and get rid of him.”
Of course, Stephanie knew that Elias was willing to help only because Amanda was the one who
convinced him. Otherwise, given Elias’ impression of her, he wouldn’t willingly assist her. Amanda was
momentarily stunned but then hugged her in return.
The next day, Yacob arrived at the Allegra Vi to pick Amanda up early in the morning while she was
still asleep. She was half asleep and went to open the door when the nanny knocked on it. Following
that, the nanny informed her, “Miss, Mr. Winters’ bodyguard hase to pick you up. He said you and
Mr. Winters have important matters to attend to this morning.”
Important matters? Suddenly, Amanda’s mind cleared up. We’re getting married again!
Indeed, they were supposed to register their marriage again this morning, but upon ncing at the
time, it was only 700AM. Is it really necessary to be this early?
“Okay.” Hearing that, the nanny nodded and turned to leave.
