Chapter 476 Escape From the Estate

Amanda nearly laughed from rage. In fact, she was on the verge of madness.

"Do

you think that without me, Elias would fall for you? Let me tell you! My existence plays no factor in Elias' interest in you! Even without me, he would never choose you! You lunatic

Her words successfully angered Rosie, and her hands trembled in rage. "What did you just call me? I dare you to repeat it! Who are you calling a lunatic?"

"You, of course! Are you not crazy? Why did you stay in a mental hospital if you're sane ther You think Elias doesn't like you because of my existence? He looks down on you from the bottom of his heart, and it has nothing to do with any woman. You've known each other for so long; if he really liked you, he would have been with you long ago. Why would he wait until now? Elias isn't the kind of man who hesitates. If he truly likes a woman, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her by his side!"

Amanda wanted to provoke the lunatic and use her to escape.

"Y-You! Just you wait!" Rosie, seething with anger, turned to the bodyguard aside and demanded, "Open the door!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss Momsey. Mr. Winters said that no one except him is allowed to visit Mrs. Winters."

The words "Mrs. Winters" from the bodyguard's mouth angered Rosie again, and she shouted, "Open the door! Why did Elias ask me to come back?! It's for me to see Bailey! So, open

the door! How would I know if she repented if I didn't go in? How am I supposed to explain it to Eli, huh?!"

"I..." The bodyguard was still hesitant, not knowing what to do.

"Do you want me to call Elias and get his approval? Do you want to be fired right after starting your job?" Rosie threatened, acting as if she were the mistress of the estate.

The bodyguard didn't want to anger the young woman either, for it seemed that Elias had been treating Rosie quite well lately, so she probably wouldn't lie.

Reluctantly, the bodyguard opened the door to the basement, giving Amanda a chance to

escape.

Rosie walked into the basement and wanted to close the door, for she wanted to teach Amanda a lesson there and then.

Lo and behold, Amanda grabbed her hair, causing her neck to arch backward in pain. "Ah My hair! Let go!"

"Let go? Didn't you come in here for me to pull your hair? Why are you screaming? Do people like you know what pain is? Who do you think you are to act all high and mighty here? Do you really think your plan is seamless?"

Amanda kicked Rosie to the ground and yanked out a handful of her hair before tossing he aside. She then opened the door to the basement and escaped, locking Rosie inside the

room.

Furious, Rosie got up from the ground and frantically pounded on the door. "Amanda, you b*tch! Let me out! Let me out!"

Naturally, Amanda paid no attention to her. Quietly, she reached the basement exit only to replace the bodyguard standing outside.

How could she escape when confronting the bodyguard physically was not an option?

Amanda searched the area for something she could use to distract the bodyguard. Finally, she noticed a wristwatch on her wrist. She quickly removed it and hurled it toward a dark

corner.

The bodyguard, hearing the sound, immediately became alert, looking around and heading toward the dark corner.

Seizing the opportunity, Amanda dashed out like a gust of wind, disappearing before the bodyguard could react,

However, Winters Estate was vast, and even if she managed to escape the estate, it was located in the suburbs. She would be exhausted and stranded before reaching safety.

What should she do....

Amanda contemplated and finally decided to trouble Simon. Though she really didn't have the humility to call him again, she had no one else to ask for help now. Then again, there was another issue. The bodyguards had confiscated her phone before throwing her into the basement, cutting off her contact with the outside world. The rain continued to pour, and it was getting heavier.

Amanda sought refuge behind a building while trying to figure out how to call Simon. She needed to replace a phone first.

"Mrs. Winters! What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a housemaid from the Winters Estate passed by and was startled to see Amanda standing there. She didn't know how to react.

Amanda quickly pulled the housemaid toward her and covered his mouth. "Don't scream. please! I'm begging you!"

The housemaid nodded desperately, and Amanda released her grip.

The housemaid took a few breaths of fresh air and looked at her. "Mrs. Winters, how did yo get out here? Mr. Winters will be furious if he replaces out." "How is Elias? Has he returned from the hospital?" Amanda asked, her eyes filled with

concern.

The housemaid felt sorry for her. Despite how Elias treated Amanda, she still cared about Elias' well-being.

"He hasn't returned yet. According to Mr. Jones, the hospital wants to observe him for another two days. But Mr. Winters is fine now and resting in the ward."

"Can I borrow your phone for a call? I can't stay here; I have to get out."

The housemaid hesitated. "Are you planning to escape, Mrs. Winters? Mr. Winters will be furious if he replaces out. You shouldn't."

Amanda was on the verge of tears. "Please, I'm begging you. Let me use your phone. I can't stay here; I have to get out."

She hadn't contacted Aiden all day, and he would surely cry if he couldn't reach her.

Since returning home, Amanda would call Aiden several times a day. No matter how trivial the topic, Aiden would share it with her, and she would always listen attentively.

It had been so long since she last spoke to her baby boy, and she worried he might throw at tantrum over there. Aiden was usually well-behaved, but no one could calm him down when he got upset. Seeing Amanda on the verge of tears, the housemaid's heart softened, and she lent her the phone.

Amanda took the phone and thanked her profusely. "Thank you. Don't worry; no matter what happens, I won't reveal your involvement."

Then she desperately searched her mind for Simon's phone number. After a while, she managed to recall the last few digits. She dialed the number, her heart pounding, afraid of dialing the wrong one. Time was running out, and she couldn't stay in one place for too long. especially with the bodyguard likely discovering her escape and searching for her.
