The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Eyes Turned Red With Fury 

As Elias took in his surroundings, he suddenly realized that this place seemed to be the red- light district. 

Could it be possible that Amanda has been abducted by human traffickers? 

The mere thought of this possibility sent a pounding ache through his head, and he tightly gripped the phone Amanda had left behind. He swiftly dialed his bodyguard’s number and commanded, “Gather the team and find Amanda. Search every nook and cranny of Imperia and bring her back to me!” 

“Understood. I’m on it!” 

After ending the call, Elias gasped for breath and suddenly felt dizzy. His body collapsed to the ground. 

Right where he had discovered Amanda’s phone moments ago, his eyes caught sight of a few fresh drops of blood – still glistening as if freshly spilled. 

Struggling to regain his composure, Elias reached out and brushed his fingers over the crimson stains. In an instant, his eyes turned red with fury. 

He had a strong premonition that Amanda left behind these bloodstains. 

In his mind, vivid scenes of Amanda’s possible ordeal flashed before him. The more he dwelled on it, the more his head throbbed, and his remorse deepened. 

If only he had foreseen this, he would have spirited Amanda away today, by any means 

necessary. 

Suddenly, his phone buzzed with an incoming call. 

Elias anticipated it might be his bodyguard with some leads, so he hastily picked up the call. However, he wasn’t prepared to hear Simon’s anxious voice on the other end. 

“I heard from Rosanne that you came to my house. How’s it going? Any updates? I’ve been searching high and low, but Amanda is still nowhere to be found.” 

“You’re just a useless mess! You have a blind date, and yet you’re fooling around with. Amanda, a married woman! Let me tell you, I found her phone in the red-light district, and there were even a few drops of blood on the ground. If anything happens to Amanda, I won’t spare you!” 

With that, Elias abruptly cut the call, refusing to waste another word on Simon. His top priority was locating Amanda as swiftly as possible.

Suppressing the throbbing headache, Elias returned to his car, determined to scour the area for any leads. 

He had a nagging feeling that she should be close by. Since this was the red-light district, could it be possible she had been forcibly taken into one of those bars or nightclubs? 

With this in mind, he drove from one hotel to another. When he passed a nightclub, he continued without stopping. 

This particular club was owned by someone he knew, and it catered to the rich and powerful clientele. He couldn’t believe they would be involved in such sordid and disgraceful activities.

The women’s seductive smiles froze on their faces, their disappointment evident as they turned to leave.

“Ah! Who’s this? How did someone just barge in like that? Where’s security?” 

“Who do you think you are? Who let you in?” 

Elias entered the largest private room that was filled with men and women. Among them were a few familiar faces from his social circle. 

After thoroughly searching the room and finding no trace of Amanda, he intended to pivot. and make his exit. 

Unexpectedly, a man’s voice called out from behind, “Isn’t this Mr. Winters? Long time no see! What brings you 

here?” 

“It really is Elias Winters. Elias, where have you been lately? We haven’t heard from you.” 

Elias halted in his tracks and glanced back at the people in the private room. Even those who didn’t recognize him initially quickly adopted a more accommodating attitude and offered him friendly smiles upon hearing his name. 

As he observed these men and women, a sense of revulsion washed over him. 

Are these my friends from before I lost my memory? Have I really been friends with these people?

“Trash,” Elias muttered softly under his breath before turning away apathetically. 

Everyone present appeared bewildered, completely oblivious to the reason behind his unexpected reaction. 

“What… What does Mr. Winters mean? We didn’t provoke or offend him. He came in on his 

own.” 

“Alright, Mr. Winters has a bad temper. Who doesn’t know that? It’s his territory, so let’s just bear with it. Come on, let’s get back to enjoying ourselves.” 

With that, the men and women in the private room resumed their revelry. 

Meanwhile, a bucket of water suddenly splashed onto Amanda’s face. The bone-chilling sensation instantly jolted her back to consciousness. 

Amanda’s eyes snapped open. After she wiped the icy water off her face, her expression. turned to one of terror as she surveyed her surroundings. 

When she spotted the overweight man, her heart sank. It meant that her previous escape attempt had failed; instead, this man had captured her.
