Chapter 257


    Chapter 257 Don’t Tell Me You Fell For Me


    Elias looked at the sobbing Edith and exined, “Not only have I found her, but she also gave birth to a


    cute grandson, my son. His name is Aiden, and he’s an active child.”


    Listening to his words, Edith smiled. “Aiden, that’s a great name… My daughter… Where is Amelia


    now? I want to meet her.”


    However, Jack was still skeptical about it. “What daughter? It’s been twenty years. Do you possibly


    think that Elias could find her in such a short time frame? That’s outrageous! Perhaps Amelia has


    already.


    These years, Jack had been constantly searching for his daughter and had resorted to all sorts of


    methods. but failed. Therefore, he thought his eldest daughter might have already passed away.


    “Mr. Allegra, if you don’t believe me, you can have a DNA test done yourself. That’s something easily


    achievable for you, and I’m sure you can also easily find out where my ex-wife lives,” Elias reasoned.


    we


    Once that was said, Edith hugged the DNA test results to her chest and bellowed, “Were you about to


    say that Amelia’s dead? That’s impossible! I have always believed that Amelia is still alive, and have


    the DNA results here. What other proof do you want? Don’t you want our daughter toe home?”


    Jack remained silent. Of course, he did want to get his daughter back, but he was unwilling to admit


    that Elias yed him. Also, who knew whether Elias, that brat, was ying tricks or not?


    At that moment, Cassandra spoke up. “Mr. Winters, are you saying Amelia, our family’s eldest


    daughter, is your ex-wife? And she has given birth to your child?”


    Elias answered, “Yes”


    Frowning, Cassandra announced, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t that make you Steph’s brother-inw?


    How can you two get engaged? That can’t be done!”


    Cassandra finally figured it out.


    Meanwhile, the dumbfounded Stephanie also realized that fact. That meant Elias was her brother-in-


    law. Although he got divorced, he was still her brother-inw. Also, the kid she went to harass at the


    kindergarten was her nephew. Everything suddenly became strange for her.


    She was having mixed feelings about all this and couldn’t put them into words. If that was their


    rtionship now, wouldn’t it be impossible for Elias and her to get together anymore?


    For some reason, that thought made Stephanie inexplicably frustrated. But she was unsure whether


    she was frustrated at the fact that she could not be with Elias or the stupid things she did. Why are the


    heavens torturing me? How did things be like this….


    Elias looked at Cassandra and seriously remarked, “Yes, Old Mrs. Allegra. That is why I took so long to


    come here. I was waiting for this DNA test result. It’s not that I don’t want to marry Stephanie, but


    rather, I


    can’t.”


    Deep down, Stephanie sneered. She had a feeling that the man had known about this early on.


    Otherwise, how else would he be so sure that their engagement would get called off? He probably


    already knew about this earlier, yet pretended he was the aggrieved victim here.


    Stephanie finally discovered how scheming this man was. His shrewdness was unfathomable.


    The engagement was called off perfectly, leaving Jack with nothing to argue because Elias could not


    marry Stephanie.


    When Elias was about to leave the hotel, Stephanie went after him. “Stop right there, Elias!”


    The man gradually came to a halt. “What’s the matter?”


    “Are you nning to leave just like that? There are so many guests outside waiting for our exnation.


    Don’t tell me you intend to have my family clean up this load of mess?” The more Stephanie thought.


    about it, the angrier she became as she wondered what the man was here to do.


    Before, she did hope that he could find Amelia sooner; that way, her family would not focus all their


    attention on her. But now that it was revealed that her sister was Elias’ ex-wife, she suddenly felt


    reluctant to let Ameliae home…


    Elias rebuked, “Is there something wrong? Are you hoping that I will help you exin things? It was


    your family who wanted this marriage. I never wanted this.”


    “Why you- What is the meaning of that? Are you saying that my family forced you to marry me?”


    “Isn’t that true?” Elias had no intention of speaking to her. All he wanted now was to see Amanda and


    tell her about this.


    “That’s bullsh*t!”


    Elias frowned. “Now that the engagement is off, shouldn’t you be looking for Crispin? Why are you


    wasting your time talking to me? Don’t tell me you fell for me.”


    Stephanie felt her heart skip a beat as though her inner thoughts were exposed. She quickly denied,


    “Of course not! I would never fall for a sly man like you! Never!”


    The more she tried to deny it and the louder she screamed, the more guilty she seemed.


    Meanwhile, Elias had no intention of guessing her thoughts, so he rebuked, “That would be the best. I


    would never fall in love with you anyway, so go and find your poor man. He’s probably still there,


    waiting for you. The temperature will drop tonight, so you should stop wasting time here if you don’t


    want him to die from hypothermia.”

    “You-


    Stephanie still wanted to say something, but the man had already left without turning back, seeming


    like he wanted nothing to do with her.


    While looking at the man’s cold back, she muttered, “Don’t you feel anything for me? Am I that


    unattractive…”


    At Northern No. 1.


    Amanda had finished taking a bath and was about to get in bed. She had to recruit staff for her neww


    firm tomorrow.


    After starting her own business, she discovered howplicated it was to establish her ownw firm.


    She was so busy that she did not even have time to eat.


    When her phone rang, she nced at it and saw it was a call from Elias. Then, she hung up without


    answering.


    She thought she and Elias had nothing to talk about. What other topic could they discuss besides their


    child? Moreover, it was obvious that Elias’ call was not to talk about their child.


    Hence, she still resolutely hung up when the call came again.


    On the other hand, Elias looked at the declined call with a frown, thinking that she might be asleep or


    was refusing to pick up.


    Seeing that it was quitete, Elias decided to forget it and try again tomorrow.


    However, he did not expect the Allegras to be one step ahead of him.


    Morning the next day.


    Amanda was still asleep when she heard Selina’s voiceing from outside. It seemed like she had


    guests, so Amanda dazedly got up, wanting to quickly wash up so that she could go outside to see who


    it was.


    In the meantime, Selina looked at the bunch of strange people before her, wondering what they were


    doing there.


    “May I know why you’re looking for Amanda? Is it about awsuit?” Selina innocently thought they were


    Amanda’s clients.


    Jack looked around the house and replied, “No, it’s not. We have something to discuss with her. Please


    call her out.”


    “Alright…” Selina felt the atmosphere seemed strange and oppressive, but just couldn’t put a finger on


    it.
