The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Why Did You Stop Pretending?

"Why did you stop pretending not to know me? If you keep up with the act, I might believe you've lost your memory." Her futile struggle elicited an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in Elias.

"You b*stard! Scoundrel! We don't talk, and we don't greet each other after the divorce! Don't you know that simple rule of thumb?" Amanda glared at the shameless man before her. His well-defined features and perfect jawline seemed better than ever.

Meanwhile, he carefully studied the woman's face and noticed she seemed different from four years ago. She had exquisite and light makeup on her pale, tender skin. Even the movement of her red lips seemed seductive. Back then, he had never taken a good look at her because he rarely went home.

While he was in a daze, she shoved his tall frame away. "Don't touch me! You have no right to do that!"

For some reason, the words 'no right' angered him, and his brows raised at the sound of that. "I have no right to touch you, but that sleazy old man does? You didn't take a penny when you signed the divorce papers, saying they were dirty, but you're now seducing old men? Isn't that dirty?"

When the lawyer informed him Amanda did not take a penny and said his money was dirty, he was so furious that he lost his appetite the whole day.

Seduce? Those words are too exaggerated! she thought. "What does that have to do with you?"

Looking at the work of art that was Elias' face, she felt pity for him because under that handsome face was a sc*mbag!

He scoffed. "What does it have to do with me? You used to be my wife, but why did your taste change so much after we divorced? How could you take a fancy to greasy old men?"

"You—"

"Amanda, I'm warning you. If I see you hanging out with those old men again, you won't be able to stand what I'll do."

She laughed in anger. "What will you do?"

They were divorced and had nothing to do with each other. What else could he do to her?

Unexpectedly, the man replied, "I'll move your mother's ashes to a new spot."

Shocked, she did not resist roaring at him, "Elias Winters, you're a monster!"

How cruel can he get? This is inhumane!

Once she finished screaming, she was about to slap him, but Elias stopped her. "It's good that you know. Don't anger me because those who anger me will not have a good ending."

"B*stard!" Amanda pulled her wrist back.

Elias ordered, "Come with me tomorrow to visit Grandpa. Explain that we broke up on good terms so he can stop reminiscing about you."

"I'm not going!"

"I'll be seeing you at the manor tomorrow. If I don't, you know what I'll do." He was ready to leave, ignoring her refusal.

While looking at the man's cold back, Amanda felt like going up there and biting him. He is such a bully!

At that moment, a man resembling a bodyguard approached her. "Miss Bailey, I'll send you home."

"Who are you? I don't know you and don't need you to send me anywhere."

She was about to open her car door, but the bodyguard stopped her and announced, "Mr. Winters sent me to protect you until you safely arrive at the Winters Manor tomorrow night."

Speechless, Amanda complained, Elias is such a shrewd! It seems like I can't avoid meeting Old Mr. Winters, but I can't let the bodyguard send me home, or else he will notice my baby.
