Chapter 251 Amanda's Blurred Identity

Late at night.

The meeting lasted three hours before Elias emerged from the meeting room.

"Elias, you'll have to keep a close eye on the project. Otherwise, your aunt will make a move."

"I know."

Jack emerged from the meeting room with Elias but never expected to see his daughter waiting for them outside.

"Steph, what are you doing here? Waiting for Elias, are you?"

Elias also stopped and noticed Stephanie's nervous look. He didn't need to ask to know that she was worried he would lay a hand on Crispin.

"I'm waiting for Elias, Dad. You can head home first. We still need to try on the wedding attire. If we don't, we really will be pressed for time," Stephanie replied.

Jack nodded upon hearing that. "Okay, then. I'll head off first. Come back once you guys are done with the trying."

At that, he left.

Seeing that it was just him and Stephanie, Elias didn't spare her another glance and headed in the direction of the elevator.

She hurried toward him and said, "If I have caused your ex-wife trouble or any misunderstanding between you two, I can explain things to her. I really didn't mean it, so please don't cause Crisp any trouble. He's already going through hell at his place..."

"You have underestimated the endurance of those like him. In the name of wealth and power for eternity, this suffering is considered nothing." The man sneered.

"Don't gauge his chivalry with your own measure. Crisp is not such a man. He loves me."

Stephanie was so naive that she thought there was true love between her and Crispin.

Meanwhile, Elias could not be bothered to talk to her anymore since it did not even bother him.

The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding, and he walked inside. "You don't have to follow me. I'm not in the mood to lay a hand on your man, but I'm warning you once more-don't look for my ex-wife again. I also won't need you to poke your nose in my matters. If you ever run into her, just step aside and leave her to enjoy her peaceful life."

At that, he pressed the close button.

Before Stephanie could even say anything, the elevator doors closed.

Does that mean he won't lay a hand on Crisp?

At that, she exhaled in a sigh of relief.

Back in the office, Elias sat on his chair, but he couldn't fully lean back because of his injured back.

He placed his right arm on the table and squeezed his brows before he tiredly closed his eyes. Although he really wanted to sleep, there were too many things to do, which left him with no time to sleep. Elias suddenly remembered that he had not opened the email he received before Amanda entered the office.

It was a simulated portrait of the Allegra Family's second daughter, Amelia Allegra, twenty years later.

So, he opened his eyes and gently shook the mouse to light up the computer screen.

He clicked on the web page and saw that the picture of the stimulated portrait had been downloaded, so he proceeded to open it.

Shock enveloped his features when he opened it because...

There was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

This simulated portrait of Amelia Allegra looks so familiar... It looks like someone I know...

Elias immediately opened the drawer and yanked the photo frame to have a careful look again. The Stephanie in the photo frame was standing aside giggling, while her sister, Amelia, was smiling cutely, but they did not share any facial resemblances.

If he had to be honest, Amelia was much prettier than Stephanie ever since they were young.

What is going on?

Elias had stared at the little girl in the picture many times. His first impression was that she looked familiar, as if she was someone whom he knew, but he couldn't place it.

Now that he saw the simulated picture of her twenty years later, he was taken aback.

Isn't this... Amanda?

Although it was not one hundred percent similar, it still had a resemblance of about seventy to eighty percent to the current Amanda.

Does this mean that Amanda is the lost daughter of the Allegra Family and has been missing for more than twenty years? Is it even possible? Isn't her father the gambler Dick Leans? Moreover, her mother never mentioned whether Amanda was her biological child or not.

Elias stared at the simulated portrait on the computer screen. The eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor are about seventy to eighty percent similar to Amanda's.

The longer he stared at it, the more he felt that these two people shared similarities to the point where the portrait almost overlapped with Amanda's face.

He took his cell phone and called Yacob, who answered quickly. "What is it, Mr. Winters? I'm actually catching up on sleep now."

"Don't sleep yet. Help me with something."

"Do you still have some humanity left in you, Mr. Winters? I haven't even slept properly for the past week, so can't you wait until I wake up before instructing me?"

Elias responded in a serious tone, "No can do. In fact, it has to be done right now since it's important."

"Alright. Your wish is my command."

"Help me locate Dick Leans. I need to see him before dawn."

At that, Elias ended the call and could already imagine how Yacob would curse at him on the other end of the line, but he could not care that much. He desperately wanted to know the truth.

It would be interesting if Amelia was really the oldest daughter of the Allegra Family...

Elias stared at the computer screen while waiting for Yacob to bring Dick over. It was already 2.00AM, which meant that dawn was just around the corner.

At 5.00AM, there was a knock on the office door.

Elias, who was taking a nap, regained his energy instantly and straightened his posture. "Come in."

The office door was pushed open to reveal Yacob with Dick in tow, who looked timid and scared.

"Eli-no, Mr. Winters, why are you looking for me? I haven't done anything bad recently and didn't look for the child either, so why the sudden call?"

Dick was worried that Elias would cause trouble for him, so he did not dare to look for Elias for fear of being beaten into a pulp.

Dick's heart was in his throat the last time that he lost Aiden. When he learned that the child was found safe, he was relieved and did not dare to look for Aiden again.

Meanwhile, Yacob looked like he had not slept for days, so he leaned against the couch in the reception area. It was as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

Elias slowly rose to his full height and walked toward Dick.

At the sight of Elias approaching him, Dick kept retreating with a timid expression. "What on earth do you want, Mr. Winters? I was in the wrong. I'll never look for Amanda and her son anymore. I—" Before Dick could even finish speaking, Elias asked in a deep voice, "Is Amanda your biological daughter?"

The older man was taken aback for a second. "What do you mean? Of course, she's my daughter. Otherwise, who else could it be?"

"You sure?"

"Naturally. Otherwise, would her mother have really cuckolded me? It's impossible! Even her mother lacks the guts to do so when I'm the only one who can!"

At the sight of Dick's confident expression, it was obvious that he felt that Amanda's mother would never betray him.

Elias felt so sick to his stomach that when he saw Dick's response, only one word appeared in his mind. Sc*mbag.
