The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 The Other Daughter From the Allegras

Meanwhile, Elias sat there and frowned. Amelia? Lost for twenty years? Does that mean the Allegras have another elder daughter but lost her?

Jack glanced at him and felt humiliated, so he slammed his hand on the table and roared, "We're talking about Steph, so why are you mentioning Amy? What does her disappearance have to do with me? Do you dare say that it has nothing to do with you? We only have Stephanie now, so of course, I must find someone reliable for her to spend her life with!"

At that point, Edith was sobbing. She could never control her tears whenever Amelia was brought up. "I miss Amy so much. I don't even know if she's still alive or doing well…"

"That's enough. Don't you find it embarrassing to argue in front of Elias?" Cassandra could not stand it either and chastised the old couple.

At that moment, Stephanie could not hold back her emotions any longer. "Enough! Can the two of you stop mentioning my sister's name before me? Is it my fault that she's gone? Why do you have to put all the pressure on me because she disappeared? What have I done wrong to deserve this?"

Ever since Amelia disappeared, her mother had been devastated, and her father had never stopped looking for her. He had thought of many ways and searched for twenty years but found nothing.

There were times when Stephanie felt like she was Amelia's replacement. It was because Amelia disappeared that her parents gave all their love to her. Would she need to return the love once her elder sister returned?

"Steph…" Edith stopped crying and stared dazedly at her daughter, who ran away with her face in her hands.

Meanwhile, Elias seemed to see an opportunity. He narrowed his eyes, thinking that Jack was an incompetent father for not being able to find his daughter after twenty years. However, if he could locate Amelia Allegra, then Jack might be willing to hasten their plan.

Otherwise, if Jack waited until they finished their wedding to take back the shares, Anna might have already transferred all those assets to offshore accounts.

Elias slowly rose to his feet. "I'll look for her." Soon, he left the dining room as well.

…

Stephanie cried while she ran. While standing in the garden, she looked at the sea of flowers but could not stop crying.

A while later, a tall man appeared behind her. She looked behind and thought Elias was here to comfort her, so she chastised him, "Don't try to comfort me! Leave me alone!"

The man sneered before taking a seat on the wooden bench. "You must be mistaken. I have no intention of comforting you." He did not care whether Stephanie was feeling down because he just wanted some useful information.

Puzzled, she thought she had misheard. Was it not natural for a man to take the initiative to comfort a sad woman?

"Then, why are you here?"

The man replied, "I just want to ask you about your sister. You have an elder sister, right? Is her name Amelia?"

"Why do you care? She's been missing for twenty years. Don't tell me you can find her," Stephanie rebuked.

Smiling, Elias offered, "What if I can? It'd be a good deed for your family."

When she heard that, she wiped her tears and turned to stare at the man. "If you can find Amelia, my father will take away all the effort he put into me, and everyone will be able to relax."

"That's precisely what I want. By then, you can live the life that you want too."
