Chapter 332


    Chapter 332 You’re Different, Your Thoughts Are Malicious


    Stephanie walked into the vi with curiosity in her heart, while Yacob remained motionless outside the


    car.


    She was puzzled as she turned back and asked, “Aren’t youing in with me?”


    Wasn’t Yacob always by Elias’ side? Why was he standing outside waiting now?


    Yacobzily leaned against the car, crossed his arms, and replied, “There’s no need. You’lle out


    later, and I have to drive you back. Besides, you can’t do anything to Mr. Winters, so there’s no need


    for me to go in.”


    His disdainful tone indicated that he didn’t even regard Stephanie as important.


    She snorted coldly, then turned and walked into the vi.


    Inside the vi, there was no one in sight. Is Elias not here?


    She looked around, but she couldn’t locate Elias, so she couldn’t help but call out, “Elias? Are you


    here?”


    At that moment, footsteps sounded from upstairs. She involuntarily looked up and saw Elias in a ck


    suit standing by the railing, looking down at her with a serious expression, as if contemting


    something.


    Elias took a step forward and descended the stairs slowly.


    Stephanie began to feel a little nervous. She swallowed hard and her voice trembled slightly as she


    said, “Your bodyguard said you wanted to see me.”


    He walked down the stairs toward the living room and replied, “Please have a seat. There are some


    matters I need to discuss with you.”

    She tightly sped the hem of her skirt with her hands. Her body was stiff as she walked over and sat


    on the couch.


    The atmosphere was tense, and the entire vi was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.


    It had to be said that Elias had a formidable presence that made her unable to lift her head to meet his


    gaze. She didn’t even dare to take a breath.


    After what seemed like a long time, Elias finally spoke. “Amanda is returning to the Allegra Family. Do


    you not wee her?”


    Stephanie suddenly raised her head and instinctively retorted, “Who said that? I’ll beat the


    crap out of the person who said that! We searched for my sister for so many years, and now that we


    finally found her, of course, I wee her back!”


    He smiled and remained silent, but his gaze was fixed on her, which made her even more


    nervous.


    “Why are you smiling? Don’t you believe me? We’re about to hold a recognition banquet for her. Isn’t


    that enough to satisfy her? Do you still have toe and test me? You really treat your ex-wife well!”


    Her words became incoherent. She didn’t even know what she was saying. Cold sweat started to form


    on her forehead,yer byyer.


    Elias’ voice sank. “Why are you so nervous? I haven’t said anything yet.”


    “I’m not nervous! I’m just defending myself against your nder and attempts to sow discord!” she


    retorted angrily.


    Eliasughed and leaned back. “It’s just the two of us here now. Let’s be honest. The truth is, you quite


    dislike your sister. The disappearance of your sister years ago was also rted to you, wasn’t it?”


    “You’re talking nonsense! Who told you that? Who is spreading rumors?!” Stephanie became so


    agitated that she shot up from her seat, as if someone took a jab at her sore spot.


    Elias ignored her emotional outburst and continued, “You were only three or four years old back then,


    and your sister was six years old at most. You insisted on going out to y, so she took you out. As a


    result, the entire Allegra Family realized that you two were missing. They searched for both of you all


    day until the evening when you appeared in the sight of the adults alone, but your sister was nowhere


    to be found. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”


    Her face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down to her chin. Her breathing became rapid. and


    shallow.


    How did Elias know about this? Who was the one that told him? There were only a few people who


    knew about it, and the servants and butlers in the Allegra Family had been changed multiple times.


    “What do you mean by that? Do you think that I intentionally caused my sister to go missing when I was


    only three or four years old? Don’t you think your spections are ridiculous? How old was I back


    then? I was scared! I didn’t even know what happened! Now, I don’t remember what happened back


    then or why my sister and I went out. Do you think it’s reasonable to use me of such things? What


    do you have against a three- or four-year-old child?”


    Stephanie trembled with anger, or perhaps it was guilt because she was the only one who knew what


    really happened.


    When she was young, she always felt that everyone revolved around her sister. They praised her for


    being well-behaved and understanding, while she was always the one being scolded.


    She genuinely wished that her sister would disappear so that everyone’s attention would be focused on


    her alone, and they would dote on her.


    She swore that she never intended for her sister to go missing, nor did she have that capability.


    She begged her sister to take her out secretly to y, so the two of them crawled through a doghole


    and sneaked out. However, she quickly became tired and cried incessantly, so her sister, left with no


    option, had to carry her on her back.


    After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, they got lost. Her sister, deciding to take a break,


    ced her down before she leaned against a tree trunk and fell asleep.


    In the evening, the entire Allegra Family went out searching for them. In fact, the two sisters. hadn’t


    gone far. They had short arms and legs to begin with, and thus couldn’t have wandered too far. They


    were lost in the woods outside the vi area.


    Her sister was too exhausted and slept deeply. Because of that, she didn’t hear the voices of the


    adults.


    Stephanie, on the other hand, heard them and followed the sound, leading the Allegra Family to find


    her and bring her back home. However, she hadpletely forgotten about her sister.


    She did have a moment of selfishness back then. She didn’t want her family to find her sister. Since


    then, her sister had truly disappeared from the world, as if she had vanished.


    Afterward, the attention of everyone in the Allegra Family waspletely focused on her. They treated


    her like a rare treasure and protected her as if she was the most precious thing.


    When she was brought back home, no matter how her family members asked, she refused to tell them


    where her sister was. She only said she had forgotten and didn’t remember.


    Over the years, Stephanie had carried a deep sense of guilt while enjoying the love and favor from her


    family, as if it was only natural.


    She hoped her sister was living well in some corner of the world, but she didn’t want her sister toe


    back because her sister would take away her parents’ love from her.


    Stephanie now regretted giving that photo to Elias. She thought her sister would never be found, but


    she turned out to be Amanda!


    If she had known that Amanda was her lost sister, she would never have allowed Elias to take that


    photo.


    “Other children might not, but you’re different. Your thoughts are malicious.” Elias’ sudden remark


    interrupted Stephanie’s chaotic thoughts which caused her mind to buzz.


    Malicious?


    He used the word “malicious” to describe her when she was only three or four she really malicious?
