Chapter 255 Hurry Up and Tell Me the Results
Simon shook his head with a smile. "It's fine. I feel assured seeing you doing well."
Amanda smiled as well but did not speak.
Then, Simon asked, "By the way, do you know that Elias' engagement ceremony is coming soon? He even sent me an invitation because I used to collaborate with Mr. Allegra."
"Really? I didn't know that. That's great news, but I don't care." She pretended like she did not care about it.
In fact, Simon did it on purpose because he wanted to test and see what Amanda's current feelings for that man were. That way, he could tell if he stood a chance.
But just as he was about to speak, Amanda cut him off. "Simon, I know what you're doing and understand your feelings for me, but it's impossible between us. I've already told you. Stop wasting your time on me. Lunabelle is a better match for you because you two have feelings for each other. No matter what, you should choose her."
Her words were resolute and gave Simon no room for argument.
On the other hand, Simon silently gazed at her. He wanted to say something but could only look at her. He did not want to give up on her, but she did not give him the slightest chance.
"I still have something to do, so I'll be going now." Amanda smiled and nodded at him before leaving.
Then, Simon spoke to her back. "You'd rather go on a blind date and marry a complete stranger than accept me?"
Even though she and Elias were done, she was still unwilling to accept him, so he did not know where he lacked.
Amanda's figure gradually stopped, and she replied, "Yes. I've already seen through it all. No matter what, we aren't fit for each other, so there's no need to waste our time."
Once that was said, she left without looking back.
Simon wanted to ask why, but she was already gone. Then, while pursing his lips, he slammed his fist hard on the desk beside him.
…
It was soon the end of the month and the day Jack had planned for the engagement ceremony.
Elias sat at his desk while rhythmically knocking his fingers on his desk, seemingly waiting for something.
Beside him was the engagement suit the designers had tailor-made for him.
Two hours were left until the engagement ceremony, yet he hadn't even changed his clothes. The Allegras were probably already at the hotel looking everywhere for him. His phone was switched off, so no one could reach him.
But he left another phone switched on and patiently awaited Dr. Christopher Smith's DNA test results.
Suddenly, the phone began ringing. The man took a look and was slightly disappointed because it was not Christopher but Yacob called.
He calmly answered the phone and put it on speaker. "Mr. Winters, where are you? The Allegras are about to go crazy looking for you. Jack is about to explode from anger and is taking it out on me."
"Then endure it." The man smiled wickedly.
Yacob, on the other end of the line, was about to go mad. "How can you still have the effort to tease me? What are you planning? The engagement ceremony is about to start, and what if the DNA results show that Miss Bailey isn't the Allegras' missing daughter? How are you going to settle this mess? You would be losing more than what you paid for!"
It was clear that Yacob was worried and anxious, but his boss was not the slightest bit anxious. As the bystander, he was more worried about this matter than the person involved.
