The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Almost Exposed

"I didn't expect you to be so young, Miss Bailey. I thought you were a middle-aged career woman. I'm blown away."

Upon hearing the compliment, Amanda replied with a smile, "Well, I'm not that young, and I'm a mother."

"What?! Are you a mother? Are you married? I see you've been taking good care of yourself. You don't look like a mother at all." The other party was surprised as he sized Amanda up.

Amanda didn't mind telling them she had a child to avoid any unnecessary attention.

"Yes, I was married and gave birth to a kid, but I'm a divorcee now. My child is three years old."

The person clicked his tongue. "That's so surprising. Your life seems pretty interesting, Miss Bailey."

Without responding to him, Amanda smiled and took a sip of wine.

I suppose I won't bump into any familiar people at this cocktail party. For example, Elias… Wait a minute. He's injured, so he's supposed to be in the hospital. There's no way he'd show up at this party.

When Amanda looked around, she realized she was wrong. Even though Elias wouldn't show up, his fiancée and future father-in-law would be there.

She saw Stephanie hooking her arm around her father's as they entered the venue.

The world is pretty small, huh? Why do I keep bumping into Stephanie and Jack?

She immediately put down her wine glass, ready to leave. Getting provoked by Stephanie was the last thing she wanted.

Just as she was ready to sneak out of the venue, Stephanie discovered her presence.

"I see a friend over there, Dad. I'll go and greet her." With that, Stephanie released her father's hand and shuffled toward Amanda.

Jack hummed and looked in that direction, only to see Elias' ex-wife over there.

Has Stephanie found out about his ex-wife?

He was ready to watch how his daughter was going to deal with Elias' ex-wife.

…

"Why are you leaving so soon, Miss Bailey?" Stephanie blocked the woman's way.

Amanda stopped in her tracks. When she saw how provocative Stephanie looked, she knew what the latter was going to do.

"I have no time for your nonsense. Bye."

She wanted to circle around Stephanie, but the woman got in her way again. "You were leaving as soon as I arrived. Can I assume that you're eager to leave because of me?"

"So what if that's true?" Amanda asked.

"In that case, there's some explaining I need to do."

Stephanie felt that if Elias could help Crispin and her get together, she didn't mind lending him a hand as well.

"What do you mean?" Amanda was puzzled, not knowing what the woman was up to.

Stephanie took a look at her father in the distance and realized he was staring at her. As such, she took Amanda to the balcony, making them out of her father's sight.
