Chapter 389 A Preposition
“Beloved wife?” Amanda repeated those two words with contempt and added, “For your information, we haven’t remarried yet because you haven’t done what you promised me.”
Elias’ face darkened. “By the way, has Crispin been behaving himself for the past few days?” His husky voice was deep.
“You know he will never behave himself. What’s worse is that I found out he’s been abusing Stephanie. Thus, you need to act as soon as possible, or Stephanie can’t hang in there much longer.”
Oh, come on! Crispin is stirring up trouble as if things weren’t bad enough. Elias put his hands in his pocket and said, “I didn’t think Crispin was a man like that. After all, he seems to treat outsiders pretty politely, but when he is with the woman he loves, he abuses her. Stephanie must have fallen in love with a piece of crap.”
“Besides, Crispin is not satisfied with just being the Allegra Family’s son-in-law. His ultimate goal is to find a way to get into the Allegra Group.”
Elias chuckled in response. “A useless trash like him must have gone through a lot before he got this far. So, of course, he is not going to be satisfied with what he has now.”
“There’s been a lot going on recently. Amanda appeared to be tired.
“I’ve tracked down the hotel waiter, and I believe it won’t be long until Crispin gets kicked out of the Allegra Family. Elias wrapped his arms around Amanda.
Suddenly, something crossed Amanda’s mind as she looked up. “Wait a second! There is something I forgot to tell you about!”
“What is it?”
The reason Stephanie has been putting up with Crispin is because he has their sex tape. Therefore, he threatens to upload the video onto the internet whenever she tries to resist him. If the tape goes public, Stephanie’s future is going to be ruined.”
Damn! How could I forget about something so important? That’s the most pressing issue because Stephanie will no longer fear that man only if the tape is gone.
Elias knitted his eyebrows. “He is even more terrible than a piece of sh*t!”
Later that evening, Amanda returned to the Allegra Villa with Aiden, but Elias tagged along, much to the Allegra Family’s surprise.
“Elias?” Jack came out to greet his grandson, but when he saw Elias, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
-Before Jack could respond further, Amanda said with a smile, “Dad, Elias is going to stay at our place for a
few days. Would that be okay? After all, there are so many vacant rooms in our house.”
“Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem, but where we are is pretty far from his office. Are you sure it won’t be inconvenient for him?” Jack was confused, wondering what Elias was up to.
Soon, Elias said, “Mr. Allegra, I’ve been away from Aiden for too long, and I want to keep him company for a few days, but don’t worry, I won’t impose on you for too long.”

“Just make yourself comfortable. I was just afraid that you’d be late for work. You’re welcome to stay with Aiden for as long as you want.” Jack carried Aiden in his arms with a smile on his face.
Aiden looked at Jack and flashed his present in excitement. “Look, Grandpa! Dad bought me a present!”
“Hurry up and show it to me! Let’s head upstairs and meet up with your grandma, okay?”
“Let’s go!”
