Chapter 389 A Preposition

"Beloved wife?" Amanda repeated those two words with contempt and added, "For your information, we haven't remarried yet because you haven't done what you promised me."

Elias' face darkened. "By the way, has Crispin been behaving himself for the past few days?" His husky voice was deep.

"You know he will never behave himself. What's worse is that I found out he's been abusing Stephanie. Thus, you need to act as soon as possible, or Stephanie can't hang in there much longer."

Oh, come on! Crispin is stirring up trouble as if things weren't bad enough. Elias put his hands in his pocket and said, "I didn't think Crispin was a man like that. After all, he seems to treat outsiders pretty politely, but when he is with the woman he loves, he abuses her. Stephanie must have fallen in love with a piece of crap."

"Besides, Crispin is not satisfied with just being the Allegra Family's son-in-law. His ultimate goal is to replace a way to get into the Allegra Group."

Elias chuckled in response. "A useless trash like him must have gone through a lot before he got this far. So, of course, he is not going to be satisfied with what he has now."

"There's been a lot going on recently. Amanda appeared to be tired.

"I've tracked down the hotel waiter, and I believe it won't be long until Crispin gets kicked out of the Allegra Family. Elias wrapped his arms around Amanda.

Suddenly, something crossed Amanda's mind as she looked up. "Wait a second! There is something I forgot to tell you about!”

"What is it?"

The reason Stephanie has been putting up with Crispin is because he has their sex tape. Therefore, he threatens to upload the video onto the internet whenever she tries to resist him. If the tape goes public, Stephanie's future is going to be ruined."

Damn! How could I forget about something so important? That's the most pressing issue because Stephanie will no longer fear that man only if the tape is gone.

Elias knitted his eyebrows. "He is even more terrible than a piece of sh*t!"

Later that evening, Amanda returned to the Allegra Villa with Aiden, but Elias tagged along, much to the Allegra Family's surprise.

"Elias?" Jack came out to greet his grandson, but when he saw Elias, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

-Before Jack could respond further, Amanda said with a smile, "Dad, Elias is going to stay at our place for a

few days. Would that be okay? After all, there are so many vacant rooms in our house."

"Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem, but where we are is pretty far from his office. Are you sure it won't be inconvenient for him?" Jack was confused, wondering what Elias was up to.

Soon, Elias said, "Mr. Allegra, I've been away from Aiden for too long, and I want to keep him company for a few days, but don't worry, I won't impose on you for too long."

"Just make yourself comfortable. I was just afraid that you'd be late for work. You're welcome to stay with Aiden for as long as you want." Jack carried Aiden in his arms with a smile on his face. Aiden looked at Jack and flashed his present in excitement. "Look, Grandpa! Dad bought me a present!"

"Hurry up and show it to me! Let's head upstairs and meet up with your grandma, okay?"

"Let's go!"

Jack then gazed at Amanda and said, "Amanda, show Elias around the house so that he could pick the room he prefers. I'm going to head upstairs with Aiden"

"Sure. Dad."

At that moment, Crispin happened to step out of the elevator just as he saw Elias right in front of him. Intimidated, he didn't think Elias would come back so soon because he thought it would at least take him a few more weeks before he came back. "Mr. Winters, are you staying here for the night?" Crispin asked probingly.

Amanda answered with a smile, "Not just for the night. He'll be staying with us for quite a while, in fact." She then turned her attention to the man beside her and said, "Let's go. I'm going to take you upstairs for you to pick a room you like."

"Can't I sleep together with you?" Elias asked as if there was no one else around him.

Amanda glared at him and said, "You wish!"

In the meantime, Crispin stood in place and watched their lovey-dovey interaction, thinking their chances of remarrying were pretty high. If they remarry, the first thing they're going to do is to get rid of me. No way! Foreseeing the trouble he would be in, Crispin reckoned he had to do something to save himself.

Later that night, Simon was in his own villa, where he finished his shower and changed into his sleeping. robe. Upon pouring herself a glass of red wine, he was about to sit on the couch just when he heard someone knocking on the door. He then placed the glass on the table and answered the door, only to see his bodyguard at his doorstep. "Sir, someone by the name of Crispin Coyote is here to see you. He said he's Miss Bailey's brother-in-law."

Amanda's brother-in-law? Symeon knitted his eyebrows in confusion, wondering what Crispin was seeing. him for.

"Tell him to wait downstairs."

"Sure."

Meanwhile, Crispin was sitting on the couch in the living room downstairs, silently waiting for the mysterious figure that he was going to meet. Although he had no idea who he would be seeing, he could tell that the man he was going to meet was not someone to be trifled with.

Not long after that, Symeon walked down the stairs, gazing at Crispin with an indifferent expression as he was able to immediately recognize who that was. That's the man who tried to get physical with Amanda outside my villa. Haha! He must have a death wish to come all the way here to meet me. Symeon walked downstairs and sat down opposite Crispin, but the latter subconsciously stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Sir. My name is Crispin Coyote, and I'm Amanda Bailey's brother-in-law."

"To what do I owe you the pleasure?" Symeon looked at Crispin with a haughty expression, as if Crispin was his slave. Deep down, he had nothing but contempt for Crispin due to what he did to Amanda that day.

Needless to say, Crispin was also able to tell how lightly Symeon thought of him. "I don't know your name and where you're from, but I believe you have some sort of secret relationship with my wife's sister, or she wouldn't be so scared of you."

"Scared of me?" Symeon sniggered, doubting Amanda was really scared of him. After all, he didn't sense her fear because all she did was turn a deaf ear to his words.

"Excuse me, who am I speaking to Crispin asked.

"Lawrence."

Lawrence? Crispin hesitated for a second and smiled. "Mr. Lawrence, Amanda hasn't left home for the past. few days with my nephew-in-law. I wonder whether that has anything to do with you." Crispin's voice clearly echoed through every corner of the estate.

Symeon chuckled with his arms folded. "What does that have to do with you? Are you here to stand up for her or to challenge me?" Despite his question, he believed Crispin didn't see him standing up for Amanda as he could still remember how he treated her that day.

"Nope. I'm here to offer you a proposition. Would you accept it?"

"Oh, really? I'm all ears," Symeon responded calmly, acting like he was watching a clown's performance.
