Chapter 115 Do You Believe…
ruined her face this time…”
Although it was true that Grace had lied on the night of the celebration party, it did appear that Amanda was the one who ruined Grace’s face.
Meanwhile, Amanda stared at him in perplexity. When did she ruin Grace’s face! She couldn’t understand how a few slaps would ruin her face. Surely her slaps weren’t that heavy?
“If you feel bad for your little girlfriend, just say it to my face! I only slapped her a few times, so how did I ruin her face? Is her face made of gold? I even got a slap from you, but is my face ruined?”
She couldn’t stand how Elias would always firmly protect Grace no matter the situation and even believe her words without a single doubt.
Elias fell silent for a moment before he said, “Didn’t you hurt her with a knife? She has long wounds on her face and arms from a kitchen knife, and her face is ruined. She might sue you and make this incident public because of that.”
Amanda’s eyes widened in shock. “Since when did I harm Grace with a knife? Do you think I won’t know how bad it is to use a knife when I’m a lawyer?”
He furrowed his brows slightly. After Grace lied on the night of the celebration party, he no longer believed her as much as he used to. However, the surveillance footage clearly showed that not long after Amanda left Grace’s house, she walked out with a face covered in blood. What other explanation was there?
Elias slowly explained, “But the cameras outside Grace’s house showed that not long after you left, she walked out with a face full of blood… Besides, the footage shows that you’ve already laid your hands on her before going inside. If she posts this video online, it’ll be bad for you. Moreover, her status as a celebrity could very well ruin your reputation and prevent you from making a living in the country.
Amanda couldn’t help but laugh, her voice filled with mockery.
She couldn’t believe that Grace would pull off such a cruel and dramatic feat, willingly ruining her face just so that she could frame her. How could a woman as vicious as her exist? Not only was she hard on others, but she refused to let herself off easy as well.
She looked at the man in front of her and asked, “Then, do you believe her or me?”
Elias pursed his lips tightly and stared at her, but he did not reply. Men were rational beings, and they were unable to form their judgment just by relying on their intuition. Hence, he could only speak according to the evidence, and now the footage showed that there was a bigger possibility that Amanda had been the one to hurt Grace. However…
At the sight of seeing him struggle to make a decision, Amanda felt her heart turn cold. Although they had not spent much time with each other, did he have no idea what kind of person she was? Did he genuinely think that she was capable of committing such a vile act?
“All right, enough of this. It seems that you still believe in Grace more, and you think that I ruined her face.”
“Amanda!” Elias reached out and grabbed her thin wrist with a solemn expression. “No matter whether you did it or not, I will cover for you. I won’t let her ruin your life.”
At that, Amanda froze in shock for a moment. What on earth was he saying? Wasn’t he simply implying that she was the one who ruined Grace’s face? Where did he get the nerve to think that way?
“Do you think I’ll be touched by that? I don’t need you to cover for me because I believe that the truth will always prevail. Why should I be scared of something I haven’t done?”
Besides, she could look for evidence to prove that she was innocent instead of using the Winters Family’s influence to bury this incident from the public eye.
