The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 A Good Show

At Allegra Villa, Jack kept his word and handed Crispin directly to Elias for disposal.

On the other hand, Elias brought Crispin to the Allegra Villa, wanting to silence Stephanie quickly. Now, he felt beyond troubled upon receiving the young woman's calls.

As the car came to a gradual stop outside the villa, Yacob opened the car door, and Elias stepped out of it.

Another car slowly pulled up, and the car door opened. Crispin emerged from inside and immediately charged toward Elias, berating angrily, "You! Who are you to lock me up?! Go back and tell Mr. Allegra I will find a way to escape even if he locks me up. I must be with Steph!"

"That's not my problem," said Elias as he took a disdainful gander at the young man. "This is Allegra Villa. Go in and tell him yourself."

What? Is this Steph's home?" Crispin was stumped. He turned around and gazed at the villa before him…

He was flabbergasted. Is this really Stephanie's house? It's massive, just like those rich estates portrayed on TV.

Elias took the lead and walked ahead. When the Allegras' bodyguards saw him, they politely nodded and said, "Mr. Winters."

Crispin was rendered baffled. Didn't Steph say this guy is her family's bodyguard? Why are they addressing him as 'Mr. Winters' with such high regard?

"Get a move on." Yacob shoved him rudely from behind. "What are you waiting for? Don't you want to see Jack Allegra?"

"F*ck, I'm moving! Why push me?" At that, Crispin couldn't help asking, "Why do the Allegras' people call him Mr. Winters? Isn't he the family's bodyguard? How does a bodyguard receive such high treatment?"

Yacob nearly rolled his eyes upon hearing Crispin's words and retorted, "Who told you he's a bodyguard? What are you, blind? What bodyguard has Mr. Winters' temperament?"

Elias' demeanor was a far cry from a bodyguard's. If anything, he exuded an air of a business elite. Mr. Winters will probably flip out if he knows he has been mistaken as a bodyguard.

"Steph told me, of course!" Crispin argued bewilderedly. "She said that he's her family's bodyguard. Is he not?"

Unbelievable! Yacob grumbled inwardly. So be it that we waste so much time helping her find her lover; how dare she say Mr. Winters is a bodyguard?! Stephane Allegra, that wretched woman!

Not bothered to entertain the young man further, he urged, "Go and ask Stephanie yourself. Now, go inside. I've wasted an entire afternoon looking for you. I could've done so many things within that time!"

Moreover, Elias didn't like Stephanie at all, so Yacob thought his afternoon was wasted even more so.

After arriving in the living room, Elias went to the couch and waited for Stephanie to come down.

Yacob and Crispin followed from behind. As Crispin entered the villa, he looked around like a country bumpkin entering the great city, marveling at everything as if he had never seen the world before.

Then again, he had only ever seen such luxurious homes on TV; he had never visited one in real life.

After entering the living room, Crispin noticed Elias sitting leisurely on the couch like he owned the house. As such, he couldn't help wondering just who in the world Elias was, for he certainly wasn't as simple as a bodyguard.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from upstairs, and Crispin looked up to find Stephanie descending the stairs.

"Crisp! Are you okay? Did my dad do anything to you?" Stephanie ran down the stairs and rushed straight into Crispin's arms.
