The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 454

Chapter 454 Did Elias Not Lose His Memory?

“But Miss Walters said there is something very important she needs to tell you, and she said she must see you.”

Elias extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and got up to open the door. “If she insists on seeing me, then she can wait outside. But I won’t see her.”

“Alright, I understand. But I think I saw Mrs. Winters just now, and she was arguing with Miss Walters” Boris reported truthfully. Although he knew that a lot had happened recently, he had no idea about the specifics. He also had no idea what was happening with these people, who were causing so much trouble.

Did they get into a fight?

Elias furrowed his brows. How could Amanda get into fights with anyone? Was there no woman in this world that Amanda could get along with?

And so, he walked out of the bedroom to go and check. “Where are they?”

The butler followed behind him and said, “Miss Walters is waiting for you by the lake. I didn’t let her in. and if you don’t want to see her, I will send her away. Miss Bailey should also be heading toward the lake.”

“You’re quite capable!” Elias glared at the butler, who felt slightly wronged and didn’t know what to do,

Melissa sat on a bench by the lake, looking at the serene water under the estate’s lampposts. She had come here to test whether Elias had really lost his memory.

If he had truly lost his memory, it would be a great thing for her. It would be best if he never remembered anything, then Simon would never find out about her and Dulcie.

Suddenly, she felt a rush of footsteps behind her. She thought it was Elias coming, but the sound of the footsteps didn’t seem like a man’s.

Could it be…

Smack! A slap landed on Melissa’s face before she could even see who it was. She was about to look up to check when another slap landed on the other side of her face. Soon, both of her cheeks started to swell and burn with pain. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“How dare you show up in front of us? Do you think we have no way to deal with you?” It was Amanda’s voice.

It’s her. Melissa adjusted her messy hair and slowly stood up. “I didn’t expect to be waiting in the estate, and yet the first person I encounter is you. Has Elias really lost his memory? Why is he treating me with such disdain? It shouldn’t be like this. She was in the estate, but she encountered Amanda first.

“You made me suffer on your behalf at Symeon’s place, and it will all come back to you in the end!”

The moment Melissa looked up. Amanda was slightly stunned because this face was the woman who was in the same hospital ward as her four years ago when she delivered Aiden.

They only met once during the few days they stayed in the same hospital room. She never expected that Melissa would cause such a big disaster for herself.

“It won’t. As long as Elias has amnesia and can’t recall anything, Simon won’t find out the truth. Then, everything will be what I want.”

“Ha… Melissa, I really don’t know what grudges you have against me to do this to me. I only stayed in the same ward with you and treated you well. How could you repay my kindness like this?” Amanda felt like she was about to explode from the anger. She desperately wanted to tear Melissa into pieces as she was the cause of all of this.

“We don’t have any grudges. If anyone is to blame, it can only be because you were too good to me. I didn’t forget about you, and when things happened, you were the first person I thought of using.

Another slap landed on Melissa’s face, and Amanda was hulling. How could this shameless woman say

that?

“Don’t forget, Melissa. You have a daughter too, who was born on the same day as my son. If you can do this to my son, I can do the same to your daughter!” Amanda shouted.

However, Melissa laughed. “You won’t. I knew you wouldn’t do that. That’s why I dared to do this. You’re too nice and also a righteous lawyer. You won’t harm an innocent child.”

“So, that’s why you hurt me? I’ll tell you right now that I’ll do it. Don’t assume that I’ll never break my principles. Even a worm will turn. You better watch your daughter closely; otherwise, I’ll let you have a taste of my pain, too!”

Amanda’s words made Melissa feel uncomfortable, but she consoled herself that Amanda wasn’t the type of person to do that.

Amanda also noticed the alarmed look in Melissa’s eyes and added, “Settle your own problems yourself. Why should we be the ones to suffer in your stead? You dared climb onto Symeon’s bed, yet don’t have the guts to admit it? You’re not worthy to be a mother. When your daughter grows up, she’ll be ashamed of you. She won’t be grateful for what you’re doing for her!”

“You’re lying! She won’t! Everything I do is for her!” Melissa couldn’t take it anymore, as Dulcie was her life. She couldn’t let Dulcie misunderstand her.

However, Amanda snorted. “Yet, you harmed numerous innocent people. Did you really think you could hide this for life? Symeon will find out the truth sooner or later, and Elias will recover his memories. Do you think you can run away from their power? Even if you run to Mars, they both will work together to find you. Until then, even Symeon can’t save you because Elias will destroy you!”

Melissa was terrified as she stumbled backward with widened eyes. That was the day she feared that would come. If Elias and Symeon collaborated, she would be caught no matter where she ran to. Then, it could very well be her death.

“Impossible! It won’t happen!”

Seeing Melissa’s reaction, Amanda knew that she was scared. That would make things easier. “It seems like you’re still scared. You came running here when you heard Elias had amnesia. Have you not thought that it was a trap to lure you here?”

Melissa’s eyes widened in shock. It’s a trap? Did Elias not lose his memory? That’s impossible!

She turned around and wanted to run, but saw Elias, who just so happened to be walking in their direction, and she panicked.

Amanda laughed at her flustered expression and went up to grab her shoulder. “You walked into the trap

yourself. Don’t blame anyone.”

“Let go!” Melissa struggled to leave, but Amanda wasn’t going to let that happen.
