Chapter 350 I Can’t Sleep Because I’m Angry

There was silence at the other end of the line for such a long time that Amanda almost thought the call was not connected. Then, she glanced at the phone screen, which showed that he was engaged in the call.

She placed the phone to her ear again and warned, “Speak up, or I’m hanging up.”

A man’s deep and hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the line. It sounded as if he was slightly. drunk when he asked, “Why are you still awake?”

Oh… This man is interesting All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She turned and leaned against the railing. “How could you answer your phone when you are asleep? What is it? You have insomnia?”

“Yeah, I can’t sleep because you made me angry.”

“Huh?”

Made him angry? Amanda suddenly regained her composure. It might have been the words that she said. earlier in the day, but since when did Elias become so narrow-minded that her sentence could make him lose his sleep?

She chuckled. “I don’t think it’s that. You are so narrow-minded that you can’t fall asleep after I said a few, words, huh?”

The call was silent for a long time to the point where Amanda could imagine how ugly Elias’ expression

was.

After a while, Elias spoke again. “You are more powerful than everyone else.”

Amanda was silent. Is he complimenting or scolding me?

Then, she laughed. “So, why are you calling me in the wee hours?”

“I want to torture you… in bed.”

Amanda’s little face reddened in that instant as she remembered how that night went, so she couldn’t help. but scold in anger. “Elias, show some shame! Be civilized!”

“If you doubt me again the next time, I’ll make sure to live up to my words.”

The man sounded like he was exasperated and could feel himself gritting his teeth when he said those words, so he was lucky that they were merely on a phone call.

Amanda sighed softly. “So, did you investigate who was the one who bedded Stephanie that night?”

“Oh, why are you so concerned? I thought you hated her a lot?”

“No matter how much I hate Stephanie, she’s still my biological sister. Isn’t it normal for me to be concerned about her when someone has bullied me? Is that against the law? As a lawyer, I want justice. Is there anything wrong with that?”

She enunciated her words so clearly that everyone would think that she was concerned about Stephanie’s

matters.

Elias snorted. “Don’t lie. Only I know what your truest thoughts are.”

“Huh? Then, tell me, what I am thinking now?”

“You are thinking whether I’m really the man from that night.”

Amanda was so shocked that her eyes widened. Did this se*mbag study psychiatry, which is why he can read

minds?

If she was honest, she could not quite, believe that Elias had unreasonable thoughts about Stephanie, but what if it was really true? She was afraid about it and merely wanted to search for real evidence to prove that the man that night was not Elias to feel rest assured.

She was so frightened by her thoughts.

Although she resented Stephanie, she should be sympathizing with Stephanie’s first time now that Stephanie had encountered such a thing. So, why should she be entangled with the issue of whether that man was Elias or not?

Amanda suddenly felt that she had fallen into the abyss of her feelings for Elias and could not extricate herself from it. It was just like how she was back then.

Why do you always fall for the man’s same tricks?

Is this what they call fate?

Does this mean I can only fancy Elias alone? Otherwise, why do I have no interest in other men?

Amanda remained silent for the longest time, which left Elias on the other end of the line ecstatic because what he said was correct.

The man added lazily, “Don’t worry. If I said that if it ain’t me, it ain’t me. Why wouldn’t I have the guts to admit that I slept with which woman?”

“That just shows how great you are. You can sleep with any woman you fancy, including your ex-wife.” Amanda snorted coldly as she mocked in a strange tone.

Elias laughed pleasantly. “Am I right to say that this is an invite?”

“Invite my “ss! Shameless!”

At that, Amanda slammed the phone and refused to give Elias any more chance to tease her. Then, she turned and returned to her room to sleep.

At the same time…

Elias, who had been at the other end of the line, was at Cloudview Hotel. After watching the surveillance footage from that night, he finally discovered the room where Stephanie met her unfortunate fate.

“Mr. Winters, I found it. It’s Room 5022. Yacob suddenly turned toward Elias to report.

Elias leaned against the chair and had just ended the call with a smile on his lips when he heard Yacob’s report. Then, he rose to his full height and went over to the monitoring station.

When he saw where the said room was, he went in that direction.

Yacob breathed a sigh of relief in exhaustion as he followed behind Elias and muttered, “Why do you even card to check the surveillance? You could have saved the time and asked Miss Allegra directly instead.”

“Are you teaching me what to do?” The man stopped in his tracks and glanced at Yacob.

Yacob immediately fell silent and shook his head. “No….

Actually, on top of his ego, he did not want to waste time with Stephanie.

To say that Mr. Winters is like this is not fair either. He merely values his dignity too much and he is just as willful. Whenever he is with someone whom he fancies, like Amanda, he can’t wait to be a bootlicker. However, with someone whom he doesn’t like, he will feel that it is a waste of time to even look at them.

Sigh….

And just because I’m his personal bodyguard, I had to stay up for the past few days to the point where I haven’t slept.

Yacob yawned and followed Elias to Room 5022.

The moment they entered the room, they discovered that Room 5022 had been cleaned a long time ago, which meant that there wouldn’t be any traces left.

“It has been cleaned. There is no more value,” Yacob said.

However, Elias was searching the entire room and he looked like he was looking for something.

Yacob couldn’t help but ask, “What are you looking for, Mr. Winters?”

“Isn’t there any surveillance here? If there is, it’ll serve as a piece of overwhelming evidence.”

Yacob’s eyes widened. “Mr. Winters, we’re talking about a room. How can there be cameras here? Wouldn’t it be against the law?”

Is Mr. Winters blind? How can there be surveillance cameras in the room, especially in a high-end hotel room like this? Wouldn’t the hotel be sued to their death if someone finds out?

Elias raised his eyes to meet Yacob calmly. “Have such things decreased, though? Isn’t the existence of such surveillance a significant benefit to me?”

There was nothing that Yacob could refute. It looks like Mr. Winters is really panicking since he is hoping for such a thing to happen.

After searching around, Elias found nothing and was disappointed.

Yacob couldn’t help commenting. This is not a shady hotel on the streets. So, I don’t think they would make an amateur mistake of having cameras in the room.”

An impatient Elias gritted his teeth. “I know. I don’t need your reminder!”

After saying that, he left the room, and Yacob followed suit too.

“How about your investigation? Are there any results?” Elias asked.
