The Lawyer’s Romance in Law
Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Simon's Plan

Simon's words successfully caught Grace's attention as she looked up at him. "What secret"

As a lawyer, Simon was well-versed in the art of speaking. He was planning to use psychological tricks to get Grace to speak, but she was way more alert than he expected.

"Do you know why Amanda was so sure she could replace the evidence to prove her innocence, Miss Murphy!"

Grace was momentarily stunned but snickered soon after. "You're just using your lawyer tricks to make me talk. She won't replace any evidence because she did this! The footage proved it!" The ward was silent, and they could hear each other's breathing.

He gave a small smile. "Miss Murphy, I'm just here to tell you the news because I got to know some insider news. That's the whole reason I came looking for you."

She couldn't figure out Simon's intentions. So, she was careful to not let her guard down and harrumphed, "Everyone knows you are close with Amanda. You work in the same law firm. So, you must want to protect her name because it'll protect your law firm too. I won't believe anything you say. Leave now."

It seems like Miss Murphy's very vigilant. Simon smiled softly and explained to her slowly with patience, "Actually, my aim is the same as yours. I don't want Elias and Amanda together. That's what I'm here for."

Grace didn't speak and quietly regarded the man before her because she couldn't tell if he was being sincere.

However, it seemed like she started to believe him as Simon continued, "I know Amanda has proof that you're lying. That's why I'm here. If she took out the evidence, I don't suppose you can continue living in the country. Besides, Elias will lose all trust in you."

At this point, Grace started to feel her heart beat quicker because Simon didn't look like he was lying, but she still tried to act calm. "I have nothing to be afraid of. I didn't lie. The footage got it all down clearly!" Simon had sensed her panic as his lips curved up slightly. "But are you going to bet on it? Amanda's planning to take out the evidence tomorrow night. By then, the tables will be turned. You'll never be able to have Elias and your career will be over. You won't have anything left except that scar on your face. Do you dare bet on that?"

Grace was scared but still wanted to appear tough. "Why won't I dare to? She destroyed my face. Why would I be afraid of her? Can she show evidence that I destroyed my own face?" "Exactly!"

Grace's heart skipped a beat as she stared at Simon. What is the meaning of that?

Simon explained, "You probably don't know this. We, lawyers, have a habit of carrying recording devices and a pinhole camera to take evidence. When Amanda went to you that day, she just so happened to have visited a crime scene with those on her body. So.."

Grace's eyes widened as she grasped the blanket tightly. So, Amanda recorded everything with the camera that night?

If that was true, she would be done for once Amanda posted the footage online. She wouldn't be able to stay in the country and Elias would never look at her again!

Simon caught on the panic in her eyes and sort of guessed the truth.

"So what? She filmed what happened that night? Make her take out the evidence, then. I'm not scared! I didn't lie!"

Despite being in a panicked state, Grace still stood her stance.

Then, he took out his name card and placed it aside. "Amanda's going to post the evidence tomorrow night. We can still stop it. Call me once you've made up your mind. I'm telling you that we must work together to destroy the evidence in her hands."

I'm confused. Don't you like her? Why don't you want her to prove her innocence?" She couldn't figure Simon out.

Simon looked at her seriously. "Because I don't want her to get back with Elias. Even if her name is ruined, I can still take care of her. Then, she'll be all mine and no one will take another gander at her." Once he finished, he turned around to leave the ward.

Grace stared at his leaving back as a chill coursed through her at his scary intentions. He was willing to destroy Amanda just to have her.

She picked up the name card with her lips pursed tightly.

To be honest, she started to feel nervous. If Amanda really posted the evidence tomorrow night, she would be done for. She would have nothing left except a face of scars. Outside the hospital, Simon smiled at the inpatient department sign.

If everything went well, Grace would call him in the morning because she had started to believe his words.

Suddenly, his phone rang with a call from Lunabelle.

Simon had been entangled with her for quite some time and he had made up his mind.

After he picked up the phone, Lunabelle's sweet voice rang, "Simon, can we have dinner tonight?

You've been rejecting me a few times now."

"Lunabelle, don't you get why I've been saying no? I don't want to get back together. Stop wasting time on me. Sorry" Then, he hung up the phone without letting her speak.

He wanted to use this opportunity to make Amanda his because Elias wouldn't give her up. Coincidentally, he didn't want to either.

Amanda was fidgeting at home. She didn't dare go to the law firm and was afraid of bumping into angry citizens on the streets.

She actually looked forward to seeing how Simon was going to clarify this incident. It seemed like she really had no other option.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for her, as well as Elias, who was far away in the Winters Estate,

He was smoking cigarette after cigarette as Amanda's cruel words filled his mind. Unless you kneel down in front of me.

Elias would do anything except kneel before her. However, Amanda just had to make it hard for

him with that demand.

The room was pitch-black and Elias sat on the single couch with a cigarette hanging off his lips as he stared at the moon with solemn eyes.

He couldn't help but laugh mockingly at himself. I brought this onto myself.

However, he couldn't let Amanda go at this point, but it was also tough for him to disregard Grace since Yelan died a horrible death because of him.

The man picked up his phone and tried to search for the security footage of Amanda online. After searching numerous sites, he finally relaxed when he couldn't replace any as he confirmed that the videos were all deleted.
