The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Are You Sure She'll Get Jealous?

Amanda took a small sip of her wine and said, "This is your private affairs, and it has nothing to do with me. Mr. Lennard is here; I'm going to go and speak to him."

She deliberately came up with an excuse and left, not wanting to waste any more of her time with Simon and Lunabelle. However, as soon as she turned around, she spotted a tall and eye-catching figure by the entrance.

Her heart stopped at the sight. Why is Elias here? she wondered. She knew that he would often attend banquets like this, but she never expected him to show up tonight.

However, since hiding was no use, she decided to go along with the flow. Moreover, she had not planned on hiding from him in the first place, and she watched as he walked inside. Elias seemed to have noticed her as well, but his brow was furrowed as if he was displeased by her presence.

Seeing that, she couldn't help but laugh. Is that really necessary? Even if he suddenly made up his mind and doesn't want me anymore, he doesn't have to frown as soon as he sees me, right?

Clearly, it was a smart choice of hers to not agree to a remarriage. After all, this was the kind of person Elias was—unpredictable and fickle, someone who would give up on his feelings without any reason.

Tonight, Elias was dressed in a black tuxedo that was perfectly tailored for his body, and his every move exuded an elegance that only belonged to people of nobility. His attire made him seem more mature and stoic instead of his usual belligerence. The moment he entered the hall, he came across Amanda and her skimpy dress.

What the hell is she wearing? Why is it so revealing?

His possessiveness began to erupt at the sight of Amanda, and he wanted nothing more but to rush over and cover her up with his suit jacket.

What is she wearing in a place with so many men around? Who even designed this dress?

He was accompanied by Lazarus, who followed his line of sight and spotted Amanda.

Seeing that Elias was moments away from losing control, Lazarus pressed on his shoulder and hissed under his breath, "Calm down, calm down! Don't forget our plan. If you still want to get the girl you want, you have to listen to me. Remember, act cold. Don't bother her or cling to her. Make her lower her guard against you. That's the only way you can find a way into her heart!"

Elias felt as if his head were about to implode from Lazarus' nagging in his ear. However, in order to get Amanda back to his side as soon as possible, he had no choice but to hold it in and listen to his advice.

Even so, he couldn't help but complain to Lazarus, "Look at that, who even designed that dress? Isn't it lingerie? Can it be worn outdoors? What was the designer thinking? They definitely didn't have their mind in the right place."

Hearing that, Lazarus burst out laughing. "Mr. Elias, aren't you being too controlling? Do you have to care about what she wears? No wonder she doesn't want to go back to you. Are you her husband or her father?"

Elias fell silent, his face darkening. He was aware of how possessive he was, but he never expected Lazarus to take things that way.

Not wanting to speak to Lazarus anymore, Elias headed into the banquet hall and took a glass of red wine from a waiter's tray, taking a few sips to quell his anger. However, whenever he set eyes on Amanda's dress, he felt the burning fury within him reignite.

Lazarus came to his side. "Remember, you have to stay nonchalant. Make sure she can feel that you don't care about her, or all of our previous efforts will be wasted. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."

"I know! Enough with the nonsense!"

Just then, a woman walked over and greeted Elias. Normally, there was always a crowd of women falling over themselves to establish a connection with him, and Elias hated these desperate women the most.
