Chapter 93 A Test
The possibility occurred in Amanda’s mind and gave her goosebumps. She couldn’t help a shiver.
If my guesses are right, then Grace is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Why did Grace do that? Did she do it for Elias” attention? Is she trying to turn his head?
Lost in her thoughts, she wasn’t aware that the soup boiled over.
Simon heard the noise over the call, so he spoke up to remind her. “Amanda, are you watching the pot? I can hear it boiling over.
His reminder snapped her out of her trance. “Ah! I’ve got to go. I almost ruined my food. Bye.”
After hanging up the call, she turned off the stove and added some cold water to the pot before pouring the noodles into a plate. However, her food was ruined and no longer edible,
She had long lost the mood to make another meal for herself after the call. Besides, it was almost time to meet up with her client.
Therefore, she returned upstairs to change her clothes and put on some light makeup. After pac her things, she left home for the meeting place.
Amanda was meeting up with the client in Brownie Cafe.
She arrived early at the cafe. She chose somewhere conspicuous to sit so the client could see her amon the guests.
And the seat itself allowed her to take her surroundings in. She found Grace sitting in the corner at one glance.
What is she doing here?
A man in a strange outfit sat opposite Grace. He looked like a faceless person in the outfit as it aimed to conceal his facial features. The black sunglasses, black mask, and black cap made Amanda ponder.
Today’s a rainy day. Does he have to wear such outfits? He looks like a fugitive in them.
“Miss Bailey?” The arrival of her client interrupted her thoughts.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Amanda. Please take a seat.” She had no choice but to withdraw her gaze and focus on her work.
She spent the next hour talking to her client, not paying attention to what Grace was doing in the corner.
After she finally saw her client off, she found that Grace was no longer sitting in the corner.
Amanda purposely scanned her surroundings, looking for Grace. Is she gone? But I sit facing the entrance the whole time. I should’ve seen her if she left earlier.
She walked over to the counter to pay her bills with a frown on her face.

Chapter 93 A Test
To her surprise, she saw Grace walking out of the washroom and was about to come across her.
Grace was surprised to see Amanda in the cafe, but she refused to let it show on her face.
“Fancy meeting you here. Grace thought Amanda just arrived at the cafe. She didn’t think Amanda had seen her meeting up with somebody.
Amanda’s reply was unrelated. “I thought you cared about Elias. He got in an accident. Aren’t you supposed to look after him in the hospital?”
That’s uncharacteristic of her. She should’ve been around him all the time.
Amanda remembered Grace’s conversation with another person in the hospital that day. I wonder if she’s responsible for the accident,
“TIl look after him without a doubt. I’m on my way now,” After that, Grace began to walk toward the door.
Watching the woman walk over to the exit, Amanda slowly began, “How did you manage to stay calm after learning that Elias got in an accident? Perhaps you have something to do with the accident?”
Grace immediately stopped in her tracks at the words, a faint smile remaining on her face.
What does that mean? Has she discovered anything? How much does she know?
Grace didn’t dare to expose herself. After all, she couldn’t tell how much Amanda knew,
“Those are some strong words, Amanda. You’re accusing me of a crime. Are you implying that 1 caused the accident? However, I heard from the butler that Elias was on his way to see you before he got in the
