The Lawyer’s Romance in Law
Chapter 383

Chapter 383 Does He Look Like Me?

When Jack and his wife sat at the dining table for breakfast the next morning, Crispin acted like a good husband with his arm wrapped around Stephanie's waist. Seeing their lovely interaction, Jack said with at smile, "How sweet! I'm so grateful and happy to have a son-in-law who loves my daughter so much!"

Stephanie was depressed, but to prevent the video from being leaked, she had to pull herself together and put up with Crispin's oppression. Crispin, who had his arm around her waist, pinched Stephanie's skin to remind her to behave herself. Overwhelmed by the pain, Stephanie forced herself to make a request to her father on Crispin's behalf. "Dad, Crispin is so busy with his work now that we hardly see each other every day, so I think it'd be best if he works in our company. That way, I can see him whenever I go to the office...

Before Stephanie could finish her sentence, Amanda stepped into the dining area and asked, "He is just a teacher, and what's he going to do in our company? Teach?"

What the heck is Amanda doing?! It looks like she is trying to stir up trouble here. Crispin furrowed his eyebrows, feeling annoyed. In the meantime, Amanda appeared to be holding a needle in her hand, and no one quite understood what she was trying to do.

"Why are you holding a needle, Amanda? Is there something you need to sew?" Edith was the first who noticed the needle in Amanda's hand.

Amanda sat down beside Crispin and smiled. "Oh, nothing. Actually, I found this on the floor and was wondering who dropped it so carelessly. Imagine if Aiden accidentally pricked his hand or something" "What?" Jack furrowed his eyebrows unhappily.

When Stephanie saw the needle, she subconsciously curled her fingers, her heart stabbed by a sting of pain. At the same time, her mind was flooded with images of Crispin torturing her, which filled her with

tears.

"Are you alright, Stephanie?" Edith quickly noticed something wrong with her daughter.

The next second, Amanda directly poked the back of Crispin's hand with the needle, causing him to scream in agony. "Ah!"

"What the heck is this?!" Jack stood up immediately.

Amanda looked at Crispin with an innocent expression and replied, "I'm sorry, but a tough man like you should be able to tolerate this. Aren't I right? Come on, I'm sure you can do this better than a woman." Jack reacted with a poker face. "What's wrong with you, Amanda? Where are your manners?"

"I didn't do this on purpose, Dad. It's not like Crispin is going to get mad at me for that, right?" Amanda spoke in a cocky manner.

Crispin reluctantly endured the pain and pulled the needle out of the back of his hand, responding with a smile. "Of course not. Why would I do that?"

Meanwhile, Stephanie, who saw that, secretly chuckled, knowing Amanda was trying to stand up for her.

"Good, I knew my brother-in-law was a magnanimous man." Amanda gave a sarcastic reply in an attempt to intentionally provoke Crispin. Now, this is what a man without chivalry will get for bullying a defenseless lady! Have a taste of your own medicine, Crispin!

"Anyway, I have a meeting to attend later, so I'd like to excuse myself now if I may. As for the question of whether Crispin should join our company, it seems to me that his job as a university lecturer is a pretty fulfilling career. After all, teaching is a noble profession, as well as the most fundamental essence of education. If he enters our company, he is probably going to be bored," Jack answered, thinking there was no suitable position for Crispin to take on should he join his company.

As soon as Jack finished his words and left the dining area, Edith rose from her seat as well. "Enjoy your meal, folks. I have an appointment with my friends."

Soon, the dining area was left with only three of them in it. Thus, Crispin dropped his pretense and asked, "What do you think you're doing?!"

Amanda folded her arms and looked at the man with contempt. "Nothing, plus I told you it was ant accident, didn't I? Don't tell me a man like you can't take that."

"It looks like you're not afraid I'd tell Elias about your affair with that man fast night."

"Oh, please go ahead. I dare you to do so, for doing that is only going to grant your death wish even sooner. That man you think I was meeting last night is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Once Elias returns, I'm going to tell him the evil deeds that Crispin has committed so that he can be driven away from the Allegra Family as soon as possible.

Wait, what? That man she met is not someone to be trifled with, huh? Crispin was stunned. Who's the big shot she met secretly?

"I'm warning you if you even dare to lay a finger on my sister, I'm going to give you the best acupuncture treatment ever. Try me if you don't believe it." Amanda made herself clear and stood firmly, showing no fear toward Crispin's oppression.

"Your sister is going to pay the price of your belligerence. I'm going to...." Crispin swallowed his words, although he was initially going to threaten Amanda with Stephanie's sex tape. After all, if the Allegra Family knew what he had done to Stephanie, they would cast him out of the family.

"What are you going to do? Spit it!" Amanda was waiting for Crispin to reveal his intentions.

"Nothing." Crispin suppressed his anger with a smile, knowing it wouldn't do him any good if he got on Amanda's wrong side at that moment. Therefore, he seized Stephanie's hand and left the dining area. As soon as they exited the dining area, Crispin glared at Stephanie and threatened her, saying, "How dare you complain to Amanda?! Do you really think she can save you? Even if she can save you, there is nothing she can do about the tape I have."

"No, I didn't tell her anything. She found it out herself, I swear. It wasn't me!" Stephanie reacted with panic her eyes filled with horror.

"If you're scared now, good! Keep it that way. I want you to know that I'll do my worst if I have to." To Crispin, Stephanie was the only person he could keep under his thumb, as well as his ace in the hole. On the other hand, Yacob came to Aiden's school to pick him up but had to wait for a few moments. before the kid finally showed up. "Let me help you." Yacob volunteered to help Aiden carry his bag. Aiden pouted in response. "Why is it you again? Where is Dad? Why is he still not here yet? He is always a liar..."

"He is going to be back soon. Probably in a few more days," Yacob answered with a smile.

At that moment, a car stopped right in front of them. As soon as the driver opened the door, a handsome man stepped out of the vehicle. Once he made his presence felt, he radiated a dominant aura so strong that it drew Yacob and Aiden's attention. Who is that guy? He doesn't seem like a regular person. Despite his best effort to place that face. Yacob still failed to recall who that person might be.

"How old are you?" Symeon ignored Yacob and directed his attention to Aiden.

Aiden looked up, fixing his gaze on the man. "That's none of your business."

"Let's go home, Mr. Mills. I want Mommy." Aiden then seized Yacob's hand as he couldn't wait to leave. With that, Yacob carried the child and looked at the man before him, whereupon he made his way toward the car.

In the meantime, Symeon didn't stop them from leaving as he set his eyes on the child in Yacob's arms. At that moment, Aiden pulled a smug face at him mischievously while Symeon watched in amusement. "Does that kid look like me?" He asked the bodyguard right beside him, chuckling.

The guard was stunned since he was not able to give an answer, considering how brief his encounter with Aiden was. "Um... I think he looks more like his mother. The guard was quick on his feet enough to think. of a safe answer as he couldn't replace any traits that suggested any sort of resemblance between Symeon and Aiden.

Symeon carefully recalled Aiden's boyish appearance and nodded. "Yeah, he looks like his mom. After all, she's the one who gave birth to him."
