The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 I Only Believe You, Mommy

Amanda waited outside after driving to the movie theater where Selina and Aiden were. Supposedly, the movie would end in about 15 minutes. Feeling a little thirsty, she decided to buy a bottle of drink from the automatic vending machine nearby. She got out of the car, walked up to the automatic vending machine, and paid for the drink with her cell phone, after which she waited for her drink to come out.

Just then, several young girls walked past her. First, they stared at her peculiarly; then they started whispering among themselves. One of them asked, “Is that the wornan who disfigured Grace Murphy’s face? She looks very much like the woman in the video.”

Her friend replied, “Yeah, she seems to be that woman. She looks just like the woman in that security footage!”

Consequently, more and more people stopped to look on, and all of them were talking about Amanda behind her back.

Amanda had just uncapped her drink and taken a sip from it when she noticed a large crowd gathered behind her. These people were of all ages and both genders; one who had no clue what was going on would think they were watching some actors in the middle of shooting a film. She looked back at these people with a confused expression, feeling puzzled as she couldn’t make out what they were talking about. Just when she wanted to walk away, a middle-aged woman suddenly stopped her, saying, “Hey, are you the woman who disfigured Grace Murphy’s face? How could you be so cruel at such a young age? Don’t you know how important the face of an actress is? Is it worth doing that for a man?”

Amanda changed color instantly. It’s really the age of information now. After the security footage got uploaded to the internet, almost everyone in the country could watch it on their phone, and they could even recognize me on the street! She didn’t say a word since it was pointless to say anything in such a situation. She walked toward her car, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

Much to her dismay, these people surrounded her completely, preventing her exit. One of them shouted, “It’s her! She looks just like the woman in that security footage!”

Another yelled, “We must condemn this kind of people! This woman must be brought to justice, or else there’ll be more and more of this kind of thing in the future!”

Just then, someone commented, “What a shameless woman who would do anything for the sake of a man! What’s more, it’s rumored that she seems to be a lawyer herself.”

Another replied, “Doesn’t that mean she’s good at exploiting legal loopholes? All hell’s gonna break loose if she gets away easily this time!”

Amanda felt her head was going to explode as she listened to their clamor. Perhaps I really shouldn’t go out these days, I should hole up at home instead and wait until I find evidence to prove my innocence. She had Elias to help her out back in the hospital, but now, there was no way the man would show up, so she had only herself to depend on. Suddenly, she pointed in a direction and shouted, “There’s the police!”

All at once, everyone’s eyes looked in the other direction. Seizing the opportunity, Amanda quickly slipped out of the crowd, spraining her ankle as she walked in high heels. Despite the acute pain, she ran toward her car.

Realizing what had happened, those people even ran after her while swearing angrily along the way. One of them yelled, “Stop right there, you wicked and vicious mistress! Not only did you steal someone’s boyfriend, you even disfigured her face! You’re an absolute disgrace to all women!”

Another chimed in, “That’s right! You should get condemned in public, you shameless mistress!”

Running up to her car, Amanda opened the car door just in time to see Selina come over while holding Aiden’s hand. She shouted, “Get in now!”

Selina instantly understood what was going on. Picking up the boy, she quickly opened the car door and got in the car.

Amanda started the car and swiftly drove out of this crowded shopping mall. Watching those people gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The tension in the car slowly eased. Suddenly, Aiden clung to the back of her seat and asked in a whisper, “Mommy, what is a mistress? Why did they call you a mistress?”
