The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 455 Hate

Melissa was so frantic that she didn’t hesitate to shove Amanda away. As a result, Amanda tumbled to the ground as Melissa took the opportunity to flee.

Unfortunately for her, Amanda wasn’t about to allow the woman to get away so easily. So, she immediately grasped onto Melissa’s skirt. She wanted Melissa to experience the panic she felt because of Melissa’s schemes. She wanted this deplorable woman to learn that not everyone would be happy to be one of her pawns.

Meanwhile, when Elias saw what was happening, he walked over, shouting angrily. “What are you two doing?”

Melissa froze in place the instant she heard his voice. She couldn’t help but assume that Ehas hadn’t really lost his memory and that this was all a trap.

On the other hand, Elias’ anger wasn’t because he saw the two women fighting. It was because he saw Amanda being pushed to the ground. That scene ignited his fury almost instantaneously. It was odd that even he didn’t understand why he would be so angry by such a sight.

Amanda had done unforgivable things against him. She even went as far as cheating on him. Yet, he couldn’t help feeling outraged when he saw that she was being bullied by someone else.

Elias couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong with his brain. Why would he keep siding with Amanda unconditionally?

Amanda struggled to stand up as the palm of her hands had been scrapped when she fell. So, they stung rather terribly at the moment.

Although he noticed the injury on her palm, he still snarled, “Why did you return? Didn’t I tell you to leave? How dare you show your face here?!”

Melissa originally thought he was talking to her, but when she saw that the man’s gaze was directed at Amanda… She immediately realized that Elias really had lost his memories. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Otherwise, why would he be so harsh toward Amanda? She had seen how Elias treated Amanda in the past. He had always been gentle with her, treating her like a precious gem.

A sly smile appeared on Melissa’s face. Then, she whispered into Amanda’s ear when she helped the woman up. “So, he has truly lost his memories. You were lying to me. You’re quite cunning yourself.”

Amanda was about to explode with anger.

Melissa would have revealed her true colors long ago if it weren’t for this annoying man. Unfortunately, he just had to appear right now, ruining her plans while he was at it.

“Do you think I care about you? I wouldn’t even bother thinking about you if I weren’t so worried that you’d be used for your money and status!”

Amanda spun on her heel and stomped off without looking back. Sure, her actions were partly fueled out of spite. Regardless, she also sincerely doubted Elias would take Melissa’s words at face value after causing such a commotion.

Elias clenched his fists tightly by his sides as he stared at her retreating figure. Nonetheless, he didn’t bother chasing after her. He had no reason to chase after a woman who had cheated on him.

Then, his gaze shifted from Amanda’s figure to the unfamiliar woman before him.

He had no impression of her. Where did this Melissa come from?

Coupled with what Amanda spat earlier….

What did she mean by ‘deceiving him for money and sex??

The man couldn’t help but sneer. Did he seem that foolish?

“Who are you?”

Melissa carefully observed the man’s expression. It seemed like he truly didn’t recognize her. So, it was true that he had lost his memory?

He had definitely lost them.

Otherwise, his first reaction upon seeing her would be to kill her. After all, she had caused the car accident. that almost took his life and kept him in the hospital for so long.

So, Melissa was certain that the man had indeed lost his memory.

“I am… an old friend.”

“Old friend? Then, tell me what kind of friend you are. The man turned to the butler behind him. “You’ve been working under the Winterses for years, so have you seen this person before?”

“No.” the butler shook his head.

Melissa no longer felt the least bit anxious because the man had truly lost his memories. This meant she could make up whatever story she wanted.

“I can tell you our relationship in detail.”

Alas, before Melissa could finish her sentence, Elias had already lost interest and raised his hand. “Get this woman out of here. From now on, don’t allow any unfamiliar woman entry. Do they think my estate is a free market where anyone can come and go as they please?”

After that, the man turned and walked toward his home without even a sliver of hesitation. He didn’t want to know who Melissa was or what she had to say.

It was all because of what Amanda had said earlier. What did it mean to deceive him for money and sex? Did he look like someone who would be easily deceived by a woman?

“Elias, don’t you want to hear what I have to say? Do you just believe everything Amanda says? Do you know what she has done to you?” Melissa wanted to use the fake paternity test to create some misunderstandings between the two. Regrettably, she didn’t know that Rosie had already used that test to scheme her way into Elias’ good graces.

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood still.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Melissa’s eyes. She thought she had successfully piqued his curiosity.

Sadly, Elias didn’t even turn his head as he said resolutely, “Even if Amanda has once betrayed me, she was once my woman. Although I have forgotten many things from the past, I believe my judgment wasn’t that bad. I don’t want to hear about her from other women. I will investigate it myself.”

Then, the man left without even so much as a backward glance.

Melissa stood there in a daze for a long time.

Even though he had lost his memory, this man was still so rational. He didn’t want to hear about Amanda’s past from other women.

Should she consider him a good man or just plain foolish?

Nevertheless, she had to admit that Amanda had found herself a good husband. There were very few people who could remain rational in this situation.

Naturally, now that she had seen first-hand that her attempt to sow discord had failed, she felt a bit scared. Although the current situation was advantageous to her, she was still terrified. She was well

aware that her days were numbered the instant Elias regained his memories… or, when Symeon learned the truth.

Amanda was still a ball of anxiety after departing from the estate in a huff. Although she had spoken harshly, Elias was still an amnesiac after all. What if he believed Melissa’s nonsense?

Melissa’s schemes would be a stumbling block to awakening his memories.

She didn’t know when Elias would recover his memories. The longer this drags on, the longer I won’t be able to ask for his aid to save Aiden.

When she stepped out of the estate, a car followed her and slowly stopped beside her.

She halted in her tracks and saw that it was the Winters’ driver. So, she asked, “What are you here for?”

“Mr. Winters told me to take you away,” the driver replied.

Elias wanted her dead so badly. There was no way he would be so kind right now. She definitely didn’t believe the driver’s nonsense. In fact, she wouldn’t even buy into that ridiculous notion even if she were beaten to death.

Thus, she narrowed her eyes. “Did Elias really say that? That’s impossible. I won’t get in the car if you don’t tell me the truth.”

The driver hesitated and stammered, “Mr. Winters r-really asked me to take you. H-He said…”

“What did he say? Tell me!”

“He said he didn’t want you to die on the way and dirty his road.”

Of all the….

This despicable man! He really did know how to hit where it hurt! However, she had to admit that it did match Elias’ demeanor since he genuinely hated her with every fiber of his being
