The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Amanda’s Assertive Counterattack 

When confronted with Amanda’s remarkably impolite behavior, Symeon surprisingly said nothing, as if he were condoning her actions. 

Elizabeth watched as Amanda left, holding the child, then shifted her gaze to the man’s silent expression. Her frustration simmered within her. 

“Symeon, please don’t tell me that this is the mother of your illegitimate child. Her words were infused with disdain, as if she were mocking his taste in women. 

However, Symeon let out a soft chuckle and looked up at her. “Indeed, that’s the case. That child is also mine. If you can’t bear it, you can propose breaking off our engagement. I will cooperate with your decision. After all, I wouldn’t want to hinder your happiness for the rest of your life.” 

With that said, he slowly rose from his seat, ready to leave the dining room. 

Elizabeth stood there, dumbfounded. She had never expected Symeon to say such words, as if he genuinely didn’t care about her feelings. 

She clenched her fists and followed behind the man. Despite her desire to curse in her rage, she still maintained the composure of a noble lady. “Symeon, you must know that our identities forbid us to casually mention breaking off the engagement. Neither my family nor yours would approve.” 

“So what?” 

“So, we can only get married,” Elizabeth’replied with a smile remaining on her face. 

Symeon, however, sneered. “It’s precisely because of the challenge that we need to collaborate for mutual success. If you have a man you like, I can fulfill your wishes. There’s no need to waste your entire life tied to me. Let me make it clear. I won’t love any woman.” 

“May I ask why?” 

Elizabeth had long seen through Symeon’s cold and heartless demeanor, yet she couldn’t help but yearn for some special treatment within his heart. 

Symeon came to a halt and looked at her. “There’s no why, and I’m not obligated to tell you.” 

When Elizabeth thought of that woman from earlier, she couldn’t suppress her jealousy and anger. 

“Then, may I ask you a question? Why could that woman climb into your bed? Why were you willing to touch her? Why would you even allow her to bear your child?” 

She asked three questions in one breath, though they all boiled down to one query. She wanted to know why Symeon would have made love with another woman. 

After lulling the baby to sleep, Amanda slipped away alone to wander around.. 

This place was too vast that it was easy to get lost in, so she didn’t dare venture too far. 

Unfortunately, as soon as she walked down the stairs, she ran into Symeon’s fiancée. 

At that moment, Amanda considered a swift retreat, but Elizabeth’s voice came from behind. “Stop. Why

the sudden escape upon seeing me? Am I really that scary?” 

This woman was undeniably tenacious. 

Amanda sighed inwardly, then she turned around and answered fluently in Esmorian, “Excuse me, do you have something to find me for? It seems we don’t have much to talk about.” 

She didn’t want to have too much involvement with Symeon’s fiancée. She seemed like a tough character and a jealous woman who couldn’t have what she desired. 

“Of course, there’s plenty to talk about.” 

Elizabeth looked at Amanda with a murderous gaze. If she could, she would have killed this woman on the 

spot. 

Amanda looked calm. “Aren’t you his fiancée? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to talk to him directly?” 

“I just want to see what charm you have that capture Symeon’s interest.” 

Elizabeth approached and carefully inspected the beauty in front of her. What kind of allure did she have to bewitch that man, even to the point of having his child? 

Symeon had always stayed away from women. Many people wanted to get close to and please him, offering him various types of beauty, but he had never been moved. 

Elizabeth had even suspected he might be gay, but that didn’t seem likely now. Otherwise, where did the child come from? 

So, that meant Symeon did have sentiments and attraction toward women, just not toward her. 

As this realization sank in, she clenched her fists, her nails sinking deep into her palms. 

Amanda crossed her arms and raised her delicate chin slightly, looking disdainful. “Symeon is a normal man, so why don’t you ask him such a question instead of me? I’m not him. How would I know?” 

“Of course I should ask you. There are many women more beautiful than you, but Symeon doesn’t show interest in any of them. Why is it that he’s inexplicably drawn to you? Could it be that you’ve played some sort of tricks?” 

Elizabeth looked down on this woman with contempt, deeming her unworthy of Symeon’s status, yet she had a child out of wedlock with him. 

Amanda sneered. “You’re just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You don’t dare to question your own fiancé, so you come to bully me.” 

“You should have known you’ll never be accepted into the Lawrence Family. Don’t hold on to any hope. Symeon won’t marry you. Even if you have his child, it will eventually become mine. You won’t even be able to be its mother.” 

Amanda finally grasped the situation-Symeon’s fiancée was now asserting dominance. However, Amanda didn’t even care about Symeon, so what was the point of engaging with this woman? 

Amanda looked speechless. “Miss Elizabeth, I’m not interested in your man. Please hold his heart and have him release me as soon as possible. I have no intention of staying here and bothering you either.” 

In the face of Amanda’s words, Elizabeth was momentarily stunned. She thought Amanda was purposely
