The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 A Witness

Northern No. 1.

Amanda was not feeling happy because Stephanie came to ask about her salary.

She was close to laughing in anger because Stephanie was an interesting person who always asked what to do. Doesn't she know that Elias doesn't care about my feelings at all?

"Why isn't Aiden back…" Selina glanced at the clock and figured that Aiden should be back by now.

Only did Amanda realize that Selina didn't pick Aiden up from school.

"Why didn't you pick him up from school? It's been hours since school ended, no?" Amanda couldn't help but ask.

Selina answered, "About that… I forgot to inform you that Mr. Winters called to inform you that he'll pick Aiden up from school and bring him out for a meal before sending him home."

"Ah… He still wants to pretend that he's showering the child with love while his fiancée harasses me. Geez! He is pretending to be a good father when he's merely being hypocritical."

"So, the girl who came today is Mr. Winters' fiancée? She actually came to provoke you? Is she out of her mind?!"

"Otherwise?"

The doorbell rang at that point.

Amanda wanted to open the door, so she went to the entrance, only to see from the video doorbell that Elias was carrying Aiden in his arms. They looked like a loving father-son duo, but the man was about to be engaged at the end of the month, which made the situation really ironic.

She opened the door stoically, after which Aiden happily called out, "Mommy! I had a lobster! It was so huge!"

She perfunctorily smiled in response. "Mhm. Hurry up to have a shower and sleep, or you won't be able to wake up on time tomorrow."

The man put the child down, after which Aiden ran like a horse into the house as he couldn't wait to share his interesting stories with Selina.

Amanda glanced at the child behind her and turned toward the man coldly. "Thanks. You can leave. If you are busy tomorrow, you don't have to pick him up from school. I'm free these days."

The moment she closed the door, she heard Elias saying, "I will be sending him to school every day from now on."

The door then slammed with a bang while Amanda sneered.

…

Outside the door was Elias, who looked at the closed door, feeling lost.

His phone vibrated at this time.

He looked at it and noticed that it was Jack calling him. He couldn't help frowning as a look of irritation appeared between his brows. However, he still answered the phone.

"Mr. Allegra."

"Elias, come over tomorrow to have your measurements taken with Steph. I've found a designer to custom-make the attire for you. Don't be late, as it's not easy to schedule an appointment with this designer."

"Right. I got it."

"Bring your mom over as well so that both families can have a meal together. It seems that only your mom can be a witness to your happy day."

Elias frowned in displeasure as it felt satirical since there was no one else in his family.

In actual fact, the Winters Family still consisted of his mother, who was the evil elder of the house, as both his grandfather and father were deceased.

Then, he ended the call and entered the elevator.

…

Over at the president's office in the Winters Enterprise.

As there were too many things going on lately, Elias had been camping out in the office. So, as soon as he returned there, he saw Boris leading a woman to the couch in the reception area.

When they heard the sound of the door being opened, they both rose to their feet and called out, "Mr. Winters."

"Take a seat. Why are you looking for me? What did you mean by a witness in the phone call?"

Elias regarded the woman from head to toe, thinking that she looked extremely familiar. Is she a helper at home?

An emotional Boris explained, "Mr. Winters, I have been investigating what happened on the day that Old Mr. Winters fell down the stairs. I finally found some clues."

Elias frowned as he waited for the butler to continue.

"Old Mr. Winters was extremely worried about Aiden's situation that day," Boris continued. "So, he went to the Winters Estate to wait for some news. I heard from the helpers there that he went to your bedroom, and Miss Bailey emerged. She said that she was looking for him before he was pushed down the stairs. I know that these intermittent guesses can't prove that Miss Bailey is the murderer, but I found a witness. This is Ally."

As Boris spoke, he looked at the servant seated beside him.

The woman named Ally introduced herself to Elias. "Mr. Winters, you might not know me. I'm a helper over at the Winters Estate and responsible for the household chores."

"Ally, tell Mr. Winters everything you saw and heard that day. Don't withhold any valuable information whatsoever. Quick."

The butler looked impatient as he wished he could tell Elias the entire story, but he knew that Elias would not believe it if he said it, which was why this witness—Ally—was extremely important.
