Chapter 334 Amanda Has Disappeared

Amanda smiled but didn't say anything.

At that moment, Crispin entered the lounge.

Not having even an ounce of good feelings toward this man, Amanda didn't even want to spare him a glance.

However, Crispin didn't mind her attitude and sauntered in with a smile. "Miss Bailey, please come out. Mr. Allegra and the others are waiting for you." Amanda let out a snicker and turned to look at him. "You didn't want me to return to the Allegra Villa, so why are you kindly asking me to come now?"

She was being sarcastic, but she didn't know that Crispin had ill intentions.

He still wore a smile on his face and ignored her deliberate provocation. He looked at Selina, who was standing by the side. "Could you step out for a moment, Miss Yaleman? I have something I would like to privately discuss with Miss Bailey."

Selina

gave him a once-over. "What is it that you can't say in front of me? Or are you trying to do something to Amanda?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I am her sister's boyfriend and her future brother-in-law. How could I possibly do anything to her?" Crispin acted as if he didn't care about their casual

guesses.

At that, Selina retorted, "Then, why do you want me to leave? Just say it in front of me."

Meanwhile, Amanda didn't say anything to make Selina leave. It was obvious that she wanted Crispin to get straight to the point.

"Alright, then. Miss Bailey, I owe you an explanation. I was impulsive that day. Please forgive my audacity. It was because I love your sister too much and just wanted her to be happy. So... I'd like to apologize to you. I won't do anything so foolish again."

Crispin seemed very sincere, and anyone would be moved by his apology.

Amanda was the exception-she couldn't even be bothered by his speech. "That's not necessary. I only ask for you to stop meddling in our family affairs, Mr. Coyote."

"Thank you for forgiving me. By the way. Mr. Allegra asked you to come out quickly. Take the elevator on the left. It seems like he has prepared a surprise for you. I don't know the details, but you'll replace out once you head over

Crispin's smile remained plastered on his face.

Amanda smoothed out her hair and glanced at Selina. "Let's go. We should leave."

However, Selina wasn't one who liked attending such events; she probably felt that she didn't fit in.

"Amanda, I think I'll pass on this one. Maybe I'm too small-minded to feel comfortable in this setting. It's fine. I'll go back first."

Amanda could understand the woman's feelings and didn't want to force her to do something she didn't like. "You should go back first and rest up. No need to wait for me." "Sure thing."

And so, Amanda followed Crispin out of the rest area and headed toward the banquet hall.

When they reached the elevators, Crispin took her to the one on the left, saying, "This Miss Bailey."

"What surprise could it be?" Amanda couldn't help but ask.

way,

"I'm not sure either. Mr. Allegra didn't tell me. He only told me to take you on this elevator."

Amanda wondered if Jack had prepared a gift for her, or maybe a huge bouquet outside the elevator. Those were the only surprises she could think of. Otherwise, what else could it be? After entering the elevator, Crispin stood behind her before the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.

However, at this moment, Amanda didn't know what she would later face. The elevator descended floor by floor, and she waited for the moment when the elevator doors would

open.

The elevator doors slowly opened with a ding,

Crispin suddenly mentioned, "You should head over first, Miss Bailey. Turn right after you exit the elevator on the left. I think I left my phone in the rest area earlier. I have to go get it." Amanda didn't heed his words and walked straight out of the elevator. Is the banquet hall on this floor? Why is it so empty and quiet? And where is the surprise? I don't see anything.

It wasn't a disappointment, just curiosity about what surprise Jack had prepared.

Amanda followed the direction Crispin had pointed in search of the banquet hall. Instead, she found a long corridor where nothing could be seen.

In the next second, a handkerchief suddenly extended from behind her and covered her mouth. She started to struggle, but before she could even scream, she was knocked unconscious and fell into the arms of the man behind her.

Two men then carried the unconscious Amanda on their shoulders. They first entered at room, and soon after, the two of them walked out of the room while dragging a large suitcase with them.

Amanda was hidden inside.

Meanwhile, everyone was waiting for Amanda to appear in the banquet hall, but there was no sign of her.

At this point, Crispin had quietly returned to Stephanie's side.

Jack was starting to lose his temper. "Why hasn't she come yet? Surely she is not having second thoughts?"

"Just wait a bit longer. Women take time to get ready, and it's not even time yet." Edith spoke up for Amanda. She knew that Amanda might be struggling internally and perhaps feeling conflicted. She didn't want to rush her.

Stephanie, however, didn't say anything despite the discontent written all over her face. Just why does Amanda have such a grand ceremony waiting for her after she comes back?

"Is this even necessary? Hmph!" she softly grumbled.

When Crispin heard that, he leaned close to her and whispered, "Don't worry. Amanda won't be able to come tonight. No one will know she exists."

After all, the matter hadn't been announced yet, and the guests invited tonight had no idea. Jack was going to announce that they had found his eldest daughter. The guests thought that this was just an ordinary party.

Stephanie's eyes widened instantly as she looked at Crispin, who was behind her, and lowered her voice. "Did you do something?"

"Hush..." Crispin simply signaled for her to be quiet.

Stephanie's heart raced, and she felt a sense of inexplicable panic. What exactly did Crispin do? Why can't Amanda come? Did he hide her somewhere?

Endless possibilities flashed through her head. Her mind was a tangled web, so much so that she couldn't make out what they were saying.

3/4

When Amanda still hadn't arrived after a while, Jack couldn't hold it in anymore. He turned to Edith and urged, "Go to the lounge and see what's going on. Check if she is feeling unwell."

He also didn't want to believe that Amanda had suddenly changed her mind. He knew that she was not that kind of person.

Edith then nodded and left the banquet hall.

Beside them, Elias narrowed his eyes, wondering why Amanda hadn't arrived. After all, she wasn't one who would change her mind at the last minute. Did something happen?

He took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered no matter how times he tried. Her phone was turned off when he called her again. What's going on?

He had a feeling that something was wrong. Turning around, he was about to go to the lounge and check on Amanda when Edith came back in a fluster. She blurted out in a voice. filled with anxiety, "What should we do, Jack? Amanda isn't in the lounge. I can't replace her anywhere! Where could she have gone?"
