The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 483 Strike Back

Upon hearing the nanny’s sigh, Violet deliberately picked a fight. “Why are you sighing? I find it strange how you treat me. You’ve known me for so long, yet you’re not as kind to me. However, it’s the first time you meet that woman, right? Why are you so concerned about her? Don’t you think she’s a homewrecker? She’s ruining someone else’s relationship!”

“Miss Lynch, please watch your words. Miss Bailey isn’t that kind of person. Mr. Nicholson only brought her back because she had a high fever. What a poor girl. Besides, she has been emphasizing that there’s nothing between her and Mr. Nicholson. They’re just friends. I heard that they met abroad four years ago. You might get sick by getting jealous over nothing.”

After the nanny finished speaking, she entered the kitchen without waiting for Violet’s response.

Watching the nanny’s back, Violet couldn’t help but let out an ironic laugh. She’s a mere nanny! How dare she disrespect me? Who does she think she is?

After Amanda left Simon’s house, she belatedly realized that she had nowhere to go. She couldn’t even go to a hotel, as she didn’t have her ID or bank card. She had absolutely nothing.

She had no idea how long she had been walking, but she eventually arrived at a park. Couples in love were making out in dark corners.

She stood there alone, feeling out of place. As she had nowhere to go, she sat on a bench and stared at her phone absentmindedly.

Suddenly, her phone rang again. It was a call from Aiden.

A glimmer of hope illuminated her eyes as she quickly answered the call. “Aiden!”

However, on the other end of the phone, Symeon spoke up. “It seems like you still have phone with you.”

The smile on Amanda’s face disappeared instantly. “It’s you? Where’s my son?”

“Your son? You’ve abandoned him, so he’s my son now. You’re nothing but a tool to comfort him. Once he grows up, he won’t need you anymore.”

She clenched her fists, wishing nothing more than to tear the lunatic apart. “I couldn’t care less about you. Where’s Aiden? He can only fall asleep after talking to me on the phone every night. Give him the phone.”

“He’s asleep. He has been crying all day. I heard that he had a long video call with. you this afternoon. Now, he’s in bed.”

So, he’s just asleep. Amanda breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other end of the phone, Simon sneered. “Why haven’t you been answering these past few days? If you’ve already decided not to answer, why did you contact me again? It’s better to cut things short than suffer. Aiden is still young and will get over it in a short time. You don’t need to go through all this.”

“My phone was broken! I just bought a new one today and got a new SIM card!”

The thought of Symeon and Melissa turning her life upside down frustrated Amanda. They’re not getting away with it! Melissa keeps setting me up. It’s only fair if I give her a taste of her own medicine.

Tightening her grip on the phone, Amanda suddenly asked, “Did you look into Melissa. Walters like I asked you to?”

“No.”

“I advise you to look into the matter. She came to Cludan for me. Don’t you find her suspicious?”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as I have my son, I don’t care about anything else.”

Symeon wasn’t interested in Melissa at all. As long as she didn’t pose a threat to him, he didn’t care about her.

Amanda took a deep breath and said, “What if she could threaten Aiden’s safety?”

“What?”

“Don’t you find it strange? She had been observing you since you set foot in Cludan. Why does she need to observe you? Because she wants to kidnap Aiden. The only reason I followed you to Esmos last time was that she took Aiden there. I gave her a large sum of money to bring Aiden back to me. Now, she shows up again. She wants to kidnap Aiden again and ask me for ransom. When she realized Aiden wasn’t with me, she disappeared. I think she might have gone to you. You better stick to Aiden like glue. She is a resourceful woman, and I don’t want her to succeed again.”

Melissa isn’t the only person who can set others up. It’s my time to create obstacles in her way.

Symeon, on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a long time before saying. Tll have someone check her out. I won’t let anyone lay a finger on Aiden as long as he’s with me. If she’s planning to hurt my son, I’ll kidnap her first.”

After that, he hung up the phone. Amanda, on the other hand, smiled. She had achieved her goal.

Let the two fight. Only then would I have a chance to save Aiden. When Symeon meets Melissa, the truth will come to light. By then, he’ll realize that his child isn’t Aiden but Melissa’s daughter.

When the two finally met each other head-on, she would contact Yacob for help.

Meanwhile, in the Nicholson Residence, Simon had left the party early because he was worried about leaving Amanda alone at home. Therefore, he wanted to go back and check on her.

As soon as he entered the house, he found Violet sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking like she was about to fall asleep. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, the nanny came out of her room and addressed him, “Welcome home, Mr. Nicholson.”

Violet heard their voices and immediately opened her eyes. She was surprised to see him when she turned her head. She got up from the sofa with a smile. “Simon, you’re back! I’ve been waiting for you!”

He wasn’t happy to see her. Instead, he frowned and mumbled, “What are you doing here?”

Before she could answer, he turned to the nanny and asked, “Did Miss Bailey drink the soup? What about the medicine?”

Hanging her head low, the nanny fumbled for an answer.

Simon’s eyes flitted from her face to Violet’s as he demanded, “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Nicholson, it’s all my fault for not keeping Miss Bailey. She left earlier.”

“Left?” Simon’s voice cracked as though the news shocked him.

His reaction took Violet aback. It was her first time to see this side of him.

“It’s because of Miss Lynch that Miss Bailey had to leave…” The nanny didn’t want to take the blame, so she came clean with Simon.

Violet looked incredulous as she exclaimed, “Hey! What the hell are you talking about? What’s with the accusation? She chose to leave on her own. It has nothing to do with me!”

“Miss Lynch, you were so harsh and even slapped her. You said such hurtful words. If it were me, I would’ve left too…”

Slapped? The keyword buzzed in Simon’s mind.

Furious, he yelled at Violet, Violet Lynch! Who gave you the right to slap her? You have no right to do so!

“Simon, please listen to me. I didn’t mean to. I was just blinded by rage. I didn’t-” Violet panicked. Not knowing how to justify herself, she regretted slapping Amanda
