The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Mr Winters Has Nothing Besides Wealth!

Mirror…

Grace touched her cheeks to trace the gruesome scar that severely affected her self-esteem. This was the harsh reality that had truly shattered her inner world.

Stephanie was indifferent to Grace's feelings and approached her, saying, "I'm about to get engaged to Elias, and we'll be married by the end of the year. Your presence here is affecting my mood. I might mess with him when I'm not in a good mood. Can you bear that if you truly love him?"

"You! Elias doesn't like you. He won't be interested in someone like you. What do you have to be so proud of? I used to be much prettier than you. I—" Grace tried to find an excuse for herself.

"Enough! Why are you bringing up history? You're not as beautiful as me or close to being pretty, and you still think you can hold Elias' heart? What do you have to hold onto? Just leave and stop wasting time here!" Stephanie's sharp and hurtful were striking at Grace's fragile heart.

"Enough! Shut up! Just shut up!" Grace covered her ears as tears streamed down her face.

She was about to give up since her intense insecurity was overwhelming. She knew she was unworthy of Elias in her current state, but it was unbearable to accept this harsh truth. The promise of happiness within her reach had slipped away and left her in an empty voice.

"Are you leaving or not?" questioned Stephanie.

"This isn't your home; your words don't matter! I want Elias to kick me out personally!" Grace would be able to give up entirely only if the man himself chased her away.

"Ridiculous! I'm about to become the woman of the house, so how is it not my home?" Stephanie turned to Yacob, standing outside the door, and said, "Yacob! Get her out of here! She's so annoying."

He did not respond to Stephanie and went straight to Grace. "Miss Murphy, please come with me. Mr. Winters has arranged a new place for you to start a new life. There's no need to be trapped in the past."

"How can I start a new life in my current state?" she screamed in desperation.

He replied, "That's not something we should be concerned about. Everybody has to take responsibility for their actions in this world. Besides, Mr. Winters has to move on even if you don't want to start a new life. You two are never destined to be together, so please don't try to force it."

Never destined together? Those words weighed heavily on Grace's heart.

He gently grasped her frail wrist and pulled her away when seeing her unresponsiveness.

…

After Grace was sent away, Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yacob when he was driving. "I'm done with my business. When will Elias fulfill his end of the deal?" she asked.

"Mr. Winters is currently taking Aiden home. He will join us soon for a meeting. Don't worry about it. He'll arrange a meeting for you and your boyfriend," he replied.

She nodded as she finally found some peace of mind. Suddenly, a sense of boredom crept in and rekindled her curiosity. "Yacob, may I ask you something?" she inquired.

Stephanie pondered momentarily and pressed on after observing his prideful expression. "Crisp secured scholarships through his outstanding academic achievements and is tirelessly dedicated to his studies!"

He retorted, "Mr. Winters entered university at sixteen and skipped several grades. Do you know why? It's because he's intelligent and has a remarkably high IQ!"

She was speechless.

Taking note of her silence, he boasted once more, "Moreover, Mr. Winters has been voted the most handsome individual among the second-generation wealthy elite. His looks rival those of male celebrities in the entertainment industry. He could easily be a top-tier star if it weren't for his family's wealth."

She was speechless once again. With a comparison like this, it becomes evident that Elias possesses an irresistible charm for women and an abundance of advantages. The sheer unfairness of it all is striking! Why does fate shower him with such bountiful blessings? And what grants him the privilege? He effortlessly acquires the things that others strive for throughout their lives. It's an undeniable display of injustice…

At Northern No. 1, Elias spent the entire day playing with Aiden and then accompanied him back home. After opening the door, Aiden rushed into Amanda's arms, his face coated in a layer of sweat. "Mommy, I went to Universal Studios today. It was so much fun! Let's go there together next time."

"Got it. I can see you've worked up a sweat," Amanda said, bending down to touch his cheek.

Elias was outside the door, seemingly not intending to come in. "I won't come in as I already took Aiden out for dinner. He had a rough time today and sweated a lot, so please bathe him."

She responded coldly with a single word, "Oh. Then, I'll close the door." As she spoke, she intended to shut him out.

However, to her surprise, Aiden grabbed the doorknob and waved at Elias. "Goodbye, Daddy! Don't forget about our promise, okay?"
