The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341 Is This How You Treat Me? 

Shifting her attention to Crispin, Amanda mocked, “Why are you even here? You’re not the son-in-law of the family yet.” 

Before Crispin could answer, Stephanie spoke up. “Crisp isn’t the son-in-law not officially the daughter of the Allegra Family either. You have no right to question him.” yet, but you’re 

Crispin shot Stephanie a grateful look. I knew it! She still has feelings for me. She only stays away from me because she worries that I will go after another woman. 

Truth be told, Stephanie couldn’t care less about defending him. She simply hated Amanda’s guts. 

“Watch your mouth, Steph!” Jack scolded. 

Stephanie could only keep her mouth shut, but she wasn’t pleased either. 

Instead of getting angry, Amanda smiled. “Are you saying that you’re marrying Crispin? What I’m about to say might affect your relationship. Therefore, I think your fiancé should give us a moment.” 

“I’ll say it again-we aren’t planning for marriage,” Stephanie spoke through gritted teeth. She wanted nothing to do with Crispin at all. 

“You two, please don’t fight. I’ll leave you alone.” Crispin was well aware of what Amanda. wanted to tell the Allegras. Since she asked, he would go. 

To his surprise, Stephanie grabbed his wrist. “Where do you think you’re going? Stay!” Then, she turned to Amanda. “You can say anything you want in front of him. We’ve got nothing to fear.” 

Amanda laughed at those words. She glanced at Elias. “May I?” 

Elias took a seat on the couch with a neutral expression, not giving a damn about the matter. “Of course. Say what you want. We’re here to find out the truth.” 

Jack and Edith shared a look. Both found confusion in each other’s eyes. What are they talking about? 

“Mr. Crispin, do you have anything to do with my abduction last night?” Amanda wasn’t the type to beat around the bush, she cut to the chase. 

“What are you implying, Miss Bailey? This is a serious matter. I have nothing to do with it.” 

Crispin’s innocent look fooled Jack and Edith. However, it didn’t work on Elias, who observed

him from the couch. 

“Then, it must be her plan, is it?” Amanda was biased toward Stephanie being the person behind her abduction. It has to be her! Crispin holds no grudge against me. 

Stephanie was offended upon hearing that. “What the hell are you talking about?” she growled. “Just because you have Dad and Mom to back you up doesn’t mean you can make groundless accusations, Amanda!” 

Stephanie’s heart was hammering against her chest. She didn’t want to be involved in this matter just because Crispin said something he shouldn’t. 

“Why are you so agitated? I didn’t mention your name.” Crossing her arms, Amanda tilted her chin in challenge. 

“I-I am not! You’re being unreasonable! Even if the family owes you for not raising you all these years, you don’t have to vent it out on me, do you?” 

Amanda ignored the words and continued, “The only reason the person kidnapped me was to stop me from attending the 

party. For 

For now, 

now, the suspect is the person 

who benefited the most if I couldn’t make it to the party.” 

Her retort choked back any words Stephanie attempted to say. Stephanie didn’t even know where to start. 

It hurt Edith to see the siblings fight. Therefore, she stepped in. “There must be a misunderstanding, Amanda. Stephanie would never do that to you. Just like us, she has been looking forward to your return after all these years.” 

Meanwhile, Jack kept quiet when his daughters were fighting. After Edith spoke up, he finally said, “It’s good to have you back, Amanda. Elias and I will look into this matter. We’ll find out the truth. I’ll hold the party again on another day. In any case, nobody can stop me from announcing you as my daughter to the public.” 

The group 

fell into silence at his determined speech, including Stephanie. Is Dad starting to suspect me? 

“Thanks, Dad.” 

Amanda’s words shocked the people in the room. Nobody was spared from the surprise, including Elias. 

Jack and Edith exchanged a look. They were both overjoyed but helpless. The couple turned to Amanda in anticipation. “What did you just call me? Can you say that again?” 

Jack burst into tears. After all these years, he had long since given up on hearing his eldest daughter call him ‘Dad’. However, he heard those words again today. Am I dreaming?

Looking at her excited father, Amanda repeated, “Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Mom.” 

The next second, Edith’s tears rolled down her cheeks. She covered her mouth with a hand, so nobody could hear her sobbing. Finally, Amelia is calling us ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ again. 

“Can you believe it, Jack? Our beloved Amelia has returned to us. We need to keep her safe this time. We won’t lose her again!” Edith said passionately as she leaned in Jack’s arms. 

Jack caressed his wife’s back with a soothing hand. “Our family will never be apart again. I’ve been waiting for this moment for too long.” 

Stephanie was green with envy at the sight. Dad and Mom must be exaggerating. It’s been a while since they found her. What’s the point of getting all excited over a title? Do they really have to do this? Are they planning to leave everything to Amanda if she calls them that way a few more times? 

The thought sent a chill down her spine. Soon, she’ll be replacing me as the beloved daughter of the Allegra Family. I’ll come after her in our parents’ eyes. Things will change soon. Ever since she reappeared, Dad and Mom no longer care about me. 

To keep Amanda safe after her failed abduction, Jack demanded she and Aiden stay over in the Allegra Villa. Besides, he and Edith could rest assured. 

As such, Amanda had no choice but to agree with his plan. Moreover, she wanted to get to know her parents after they had been absent from her life for years. 

In the afternoon, Elias sent Aiden to the villa after picking up the boy from kindergarten. The boy wasn’t scared of strangers and could quickly adapt to a new environment. After all, he had been moving around a lot with his mother since a young age.
