The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 I Won't Cry for an *ss Like You!

Amanda thought that she had misheard what was said and looked at the man standing there, disbelief written all over her face.

However, Elias was stoic, as if this matter was unrelated to him.

She stared at him for the longest time possible without detecting any change of expression in him.

So… Is his silence his way of admitting to it?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward since no one dared to speak.

Amanda was still recovering from the shock, while Elias was full of anger with nowhere to vent his frustrations, which left him with no choice but to endure it.

As for Jack, he had planned for this encounter tonight. He knew that Elias still wanted his ex-wife, which was why Elias refused to inform Amanda about the upcoming engagement. As such, Jack wanted to let tonight's event shatter Elias' dreams of reconciling with her.

At the sight of such an embarrassing atmosphere, Phineas couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with everyone? Why are you all quiet? Miss Bailey?"

Amanda only came back to her senses when she heard her name being called. "Huh? Did you call me?"

"I sure did. How do I say it? You should be familiar with prenups, right?"

She averted her gaze from the man's face and forced a smile. "Yes, I'm quite familiar with it. If you need it, Mr. Allegra, I can help you draft a prenup."

At that moment, she felt a myriad of emotions wash over her. Elias is getting engaged to the daughter of the Allegra Group, huh? Heck, I didn't even know about it and even stupidly went for dinner with him yesterday! Can I be any stupider than this? No wonder Stephanie came to look for me yesterday to ask about the divorce. It's because she wants to know Elias in a better light.

At this thought, Amanda wanted to slap herself. How can I have been so stupid? No wonder they wanted me and Aiden abroad. It looks like we're in the way of their marriage. Ah, how pathetic…

Amanda looked at the man standing before her. It felt like they were so close yet worlds apart.

At her words, Jack raised an eyebrow. "Really? That's great. We can discuss the details when we are free. The engagement ceremony is next month, with the marriage being scheduled for the end of the year. We don't have much time."

The engagement ceremony is next month… Marriage is scheduled for the end of the year… Ha!

Amanda felt like blood was dripping from her chest. She didn't even know why it hurt so badly. It was as though her heart was being torn apart.

Elias was now her ex-husband, who was also someone whose remarriage had nothing to do with her.

Still, it hurt. It hurt so bad no words could be used to describe the pain.

She felt like a joke.

Amanda felt that she couldn't stay for even a second longer and tried to hold back her tears.

"Mr. Worcester and Mr. Allegra, I have something urgent to attend to. Why don't we discuss it further next time? If you need a prenuptial agreement to be drafted, feel free to contact me then."

Phineas had no idea what was happening and tried to stop Amanda from leaving. "Miss Bailey, you're already leaving even when you just arrived? Please stay a bit longer. I have other friends to introduce to you. You guys might even have a collaboration in the future. They are quite generous."

He had always wanted to introduce his contacts to Amanda so that she could make more money for herself.

"I really have something on. We'll chat another day."

Amanda felt that she could no longer control her tears, so she quickly fled the scene.

"Miss Bailey? Miss Bailey!" No matter how Phineas screamed, Amanda never once looked back.

As Elias watched Amanda leave, he grabbed his wine glass for dear life while the displeasure was expressed on his handsome face.
