Chapter 255 Hurry Up and Tell Me the Results

Simon shook his head with a smile. "It's fine. I feel assured seeing you doing well."

Amanda smiled as well but did not speak.

Then, Simon asked, "By the way, do you know that Elias' engagement ceremony is coming soon? He even sent me an invitation because I used to collaborate with Mr. Allegra."

"Really? I didn't know that. That's great news, but I don't care." She pretended like she did not care about it.

In fact, Simon did it on purpose because he wanted to test and see what Amanda's current feelings for that man were. That way, he could tell if he stood a chance.

But just as he was about to speak, Amanda cut him off. "Simon, I know what you're doing and understand your feelings for me, but it's impossible between us. I've already told you. Stop wasting your time on me. Lunabelle is a better match for you because you two have feelings for each other. No matter what, you should choose her."

Her words were resolute and gave Simon no room for argument.

On the other hand, Simon silently gazed at her. He wanted to say something but could only look at her. He did not want to give up on her, but she did not give him the slightest chance.

"I still have something to do, so I'll be going now." Amanda smiled and nodded at him before leaving.

Then, Simon spoke to her back. "You'd rather go on a blind date and marry a complete stranger than accept me?"

Even though she and Elias were done, she was still unwilling to accept him, so he did not know where he lacked.

Amanda's figure gradually stopped, and she replied, "Yes. I've already seen through it all. No matter what, we aren't fit for each other, so there's no need to waste our time."

Once that was said, she left without looking back.

Simon wanted to ask why, but she was already gone. Then, while pursing his lips, he slammed his fist hard on the desk beside him.

It was soon the end of the month and the day Jack had planned for the engagement ceremony.

Elias sat at his desk while rhythmically knocking his fingers on his desk, seemingly waiting for something.

Beside him was the engagement suit the designers had tailor-made for him.

Two hours were left until the engagement ceremony, yet he hadn't even changed his clothes. The Allegras were probably already at the hotel looking everywhere for him. His phone was switched off, so no one could reach him.

But he left another phone switched on and patiently awaited Dr. Christopher Smith's DNA test results.

Suddenly, the phone began ringing. The man took a look and was slightly disappointed because it was not Christopher but Yacob called.

He calmly answered the phone and put it on speaker. "Mr. Winters, where are you? The Allegras are about to go crazy looking for you. Jack is about to explode from anger and is taking it out on me." "Then endure it." The man smiled wickedly.

Yacob, on the other end of the line, was about to go mad. "How can you still have the effort to tease me? What are you planning? The engagement ceremony is about to start, and what if the DNA results show that Miss Bailey isn't the Allegras' missing daughter? How are you going to settle this mess? You would be losing more than what you paid for!"

It was clear that Yacob was worried and anxious, but his boss was not the slightest bit anxious. As the bystander, he was more worried about this matter than the person involved.

Elias replied, "Then I'll attend the engagement ceremony."

"Will you be able to make it in time, and are you sure Jack will show you a good attitude? You're not even here yet, and I can already see Jack fuming. It seems like he is quite angry."

"I have my plans." Since he did so, it meant he had thought about how he was going to explain things to Jack.

"Alright, I'll just have to continue stalling. By the way, doesn't Stephanie know about our plan? Why does she look anxious as well? She seems like she doesn't hope this engagement flops." Elias scoffed. "I don't care about her feelings. I just want to get what I want."

"Yes. Understood!"

In the meantime, Yacob hung up and glanced at the anxious family behind him before continuing his innocent act.

"How is it? Have you found that Mr. Winters of yours?" Jack asked rudely.

Yacob shook his head. "No. I tried to call all three of his cells. I don't know where he's gone. I clearly sent him back home yesterday."

Standing beside them, Stephanie seemed worried while leaning against her grandmother's embrace. "Don't worry, Steph. Elias won't run away. Our darling is such a nice woman. How could he bear to abandon you? He's probably busy with something and forgot about this. Let's wait a while longer."

But Jack roared, "How could someone forget their own engagement? Mom, stop causing more trouble and replace somewhere to rest!"

Looking at his daughter's aggrieved expression, Jack assured her, "Dad's here, so don't you worry now, Steph. If Elias dares to miss this engagement ceremony, I'll make sure he pays!"

Stephanie did not speak but leaned into her grandmother's arms. What's going on with Elias? How could he not show up? Is he planning to cancel the engagement like this? But wouldn't that mean I'll be humiliated? If word gets out about this, it'll be that Elias does not like me and decided to skip the engagement. My reputation will be ruined!

While thinking of that, Stephanie felt that Elias did not arrange this properly because she would end up being the laughingstock of her social circle for at least a year.

On the other hand, Jack approached Yacob because he had seen through Elias' thoughts.

Jack pulled Yacob to the side and gritted his teeth, threatening, "Don't think that I don't know what you two are planning. Tell Elias that if he doesn't show up anytime soon, he can kiss the shares his aunt took goodbye. Also, he will have a new enemy-me! Besides that, I will withdraw my shares from Winters Enterprise and let him have a taste of what it means to hurt like hell!"

Putting on an innocent expression, Yacob argued, "Mr. Allegra, what are you proposing? I have no idea where Mr. Winters is, and I'm also trying to look for him. It's no use venting your anger on me. I'm innocent too..."

"Scram! Hurry up and search for him!" Jack bellowed.

Then, Yacob turned around and left. He did not want to stay here any longer because he was a bad actor and might slip up.

Inside the president's office at Winters Enterprise.

Elias leaned against the back of his chair, waiting for Christopher's call. Last night, Christopher called him, telling him he would have the results today.

Suddenly, a phone started ringing inside the quiet room; it sounded harsh on the ear.

Without any hesitation, Elias answered the phone with a serious expression. "Hurry up and tell me the results!"

Christopher replied, "Mr. Winters, the DNA test results between Amanda Bailey and Dick Leans show that they are incompatible, which means Amanda is not Dick's daughter."

Elias' dark eyes were filled with anticipation. "What about Amanda and Jack Allegra? What's the result of that?"
