Chapter 263 Miss Bailey Makes Her Move

After that, Elias received another call. There seemed to be some new developments in Natasha's case. He gazed at Amanda and said, "You should go back. The company is in chaos right now, and I don't have time to deal with you."

"Go back? Where to? Have you fired me? I don't recall submitting my resignation letter either so that still makes me this company's legal advisor. How can I not be present when something like this happens?" Amanda crossed her arms and gazed plainly at him.

Elias fell silent at that. Just like that, the former husband and wife stared at each other for a long, long time. as if they had cast aside all distractions and obstacles around them. Suddenly...

"Mr. Winters, we're in trouble!" Yacob rushed into the office frantically, only to freeze the next second. "Sorry, I'll come back later. He instinctively wanted to retreat.

Yacob's voice broke the endless gaze between the two, and Amanda averted her gaze.

Elias, on the other hand, called him back. "Come back. What happened? Shoot."

Yacob obediently returned and walked up to the desk, his face serious. "I don't know who gave those two the idea, but they invited a group of internet celebrities to live stream the scene. Everyone online is watching, and we're being heavily criticized. Natasha's parents are still there, crying and sobbing. They're still going strong."

"What the hell are they waiting for?" Elias frowned.

He had someone go and negotiate early on, asking the elderly couple to come to the conference room for negotiations, but they flatly refused and continued standing there, holding their banner.

"Who knows?!" Yacob grumbled. "Who knows who's giving ideas behind them, but it's obvious they want to ruin Winters Enterprise's name."

At that, Amanda snorted. "Do you even need to guess? It must be one of your enemies. This is the best time to ruin your company's reputation, isn't it?" "What should we do now?" Yacob slapped the table anxiously. If this went on, their image would be completely ruined, though it was already in jeopardy.

Suddenly, Amanda stood up and walked out of the office, saying. "I'll go and meet with this mastermind."

Yacob and Elias exchanged a glance, seemingly not quite understanding her intentions, but they followed her nonetheless.

Meanwhile, in the lobby of the first floor, the Knox couple grew increasingly addicted to their act, and several internet celebrities were live streaming with their phones..

Many employees of the company were gathered, discussing and gossiping. After all, no one would have the mindset to work properly, given the situation. Everyone came to watch the excitement. Elias and Amanda stood behind the crowd, observing the absurd and comical scene, and Yacob stood behind the two, saying, "See how the elderly couple is distracting our employees from work. Our many clients coming in for business discussions can't even enter."

Elias squinted his eyes slightly. He was genuinely at a loss for what to do with the couple at this point. However, he couldn't let them spread garbage either.

A chuckle escaped Amanda at that. "Whatever you guys say or do will be wrong, and this is the time for us. lawyers to step up and sort everything out for you. Also, this will help you realize how worthwhile it is to hire a lawyer."

Both men looked at Amanda. It seemed that this was indeed her area of expertise.

Meanwhile, Amanda walked into the crowd and approached the elderly couple, and the man became alert and pulled his wife aside as soon as he saw Amanda, glaring daggers at her. "Aren't you the lawyer who only handles lawsuits for this company? What are you doing here?"

Immediately, the internet celebrities who were live streaming quickly turned their cameras toward Amanda's face and started filming, adding various commentaries.

"Look, guys, this is the Winters Enterprise's lawyer. Let's see what she has to say. This regards a person's life, folks!"

"She actually defends this unscrupulous company. Does she have any conscience while earning this dirty. money?!"

Amanda couldn't be bothered by the mockery and ridicule from these internet celebrities. It was the perfect opportunity to use these live-streaming cameras to make the public see certain things clearly. "Sir, Ma'am, is Miss Natasha Knox your biological daughter?"

Her question shocked everyone present. They couldn't believe Amanda would ask such a question. She was just rubbing salt on the elderly couple's wound, wasn't she?!

The live stream chat rooms, too, were filled with curses, accusing Amanda of earning dirty money.

"What is she doing, Mr. Winters?!" Yacob was dumbfounded. Does she think we haven't been badly criticized enough? How can she ask such a question?!"

However, Elias didn't say anything but only calmly observed. He'd like to see what Amanda had in mind.

The elderly man was taken aback by Amanda's question, but he quickly reacted and berated, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, Natasha is our birth daughter! Are you even human, to ask such a question at a time like this?!"

*Please don't get me wrong, Amanda said composedly. "I just want to know, since you are her biological parents, do you know where Natasha's body is right now? Have you identified her body to the police? But according to the police, they notified the family to identify the body, yet they never showed up. I assumed you guys have been too busy, but now, seeing that you two have been here all this while, you're no too busy yourselves. So, how about going to the police station and seeing your biological daughter one last. time? Do you not want to do that?"

The next second, the crowd erupted. Even the viewers in the live stream burst into an uproar.

"What's going on? Did the elderly couple not identify their daughter's body at the police station at all? Did they come here with their banner directly?!" "Are they really parents?! How can they treat their own daughter like that?! Are they really not going to see

her one last time?"

'Good Lord, what kind of weirdo parents are they?! They're crying their hearts out here but wouldn't even bother to identify the body!" Even the internet celebrities who were live streaming were dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. They could only stare in disbelief.

The Knox couple, on the other hand, turned mortified upon hearing the criticisms, and Mr. Knox shouted. at Amanda, stuttering, "T-That's... That's because we couldn't bear to see it. W-We... We want to seek justice. for our daughter! F-For her life! If we don't come here now, the public will forget about this very quickly. Will this heartless company take responsibility, then?! You truly are a heartless lawyer. G-Go away! We won't talk to you!"

The elderly couple realized they would easily fall into this lawyer's trap if they talked to her, for she was constantly trying to manipulate their words.

"In that case," Amanda asked innocently, "I still want to know why did you come to scold and berate Natasha the day she jumped? Do you not care about your daughter's reputation in the company?"

The live-streaming internet celebrities were even more dumbfounded in response. They initially stood by the 'defenseless' Knox couple's side, but now, after hearing Amanda's questions, they began suspecting the couple was just trying to extort money.

"No, wait, mister, do you really come and cause a scene the day your daughter died? Why did you physically assault your daughter in front of so many people in the company?"
