The Barrister's Love in Town

In just a few steps, the man strode up to her with long, attractive legs, and his tall figure

enveloped her completely in his shadow. He was clad in a black shirt with two buttons

undone at the collar, and his sleeves were rolled up casually to reveal a silver watch he

was wearing. Not only that, he exuded such a noble air through his every pore that one

couldn’t help but feel humbled in his presence. Striding up to her, he took her hand and

said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

Amanda subconsciously retracted her hand, though. It was dirty, with the rotten eggs that

had been thrown at her just now… Even she was somewhat disgusted with how

disheveled she looked at this very moment.

Elias frowned slightly. After darting a glance at her hand, he took it again, clasping it

tightly while taking her out of here.

Recognizing Elias, those fans instantly went into a bigger frenzy. Putting themselves

completely in Grace’s shoes, they cried and screamed bitterly. One of them screamed, ‘Mr.

Winters! What’s the matter with your judgment?! Why would you fall for this kind of shrew

instead of the simple and kindhearted Grace?”

Another cried, “Elias Winters, you’re being blinded by this shrew! Are you still going to

defend her now that she’s disfigured Grace’s face? Just what the hell is possessing you?!”

A third person threatened. “You’re gonna get murdered by this woman sooner or later if

you keep being with her!”

Another person swore, “Just what has Grace done to you to deserve this?! In any case, you

two have been together before! Do you have to be so heartless to her?! How could you

still protect this shrew at a time like this?!”

Someone cursed, “They’re simply a pair of cheaters, a perfect match! However rich you

are. you’re not good enough for Grace, who is so kindhearted. You’re loaded, but you’ve

got sh*t for brains! You deserve getting fooled by a shrew!”

Their insults sounded more and more offensive. Even Amanda couldn’t stand listening to

them anymore, but Elias acted as if he hadn’t heard them. He quickly dragged her away

from this scene of trouble, leaving it to Yacob and others to stop the mob. After pushing

her into the back seat of his car, he ordered the chauffeur in a cold voice, “Drive home.”

“Roger that!” The chauffeur immediately started the car before slowly driving out of the

hospital.

Elias handed her a towel. “Here, use this to wipe yourself. Take a shower when we get

home.”

Amanda was too mentally and physically exhausted to say anything right now. Without

saying a word, she merely wiped the foul-smelling egg liquid from herself; there was even

some of it on her hair. She dared not imagine how awful she must look at this moment. I

probably look like a scavenger right now. Then, she saw Elias make a phone call. He

ordered in a harsh voice, “Get all those things deleted from the internet at once! Also, sue

every website that made a buzz out of this! Don’t give me that f*cking crap! I’m not going

to listen to a word of them. All I want to see are the results!” With that, he hung up the

phone right away.

This guy has a hot temper, and everyone knows it. But… Just when Amanda wanted to say

something, Elias dialed Grace’s number and said in an emotionless voice, “Grace Murphy,

stop it already.”

Grace yelled hysterically on the other end, “What do you mean, telling me to stop it? Do I

deserve to get my face disfigured like that?! I want Amanda to pay for this, and I won’t

stop until I get my justice! She’s the one who made me like this! Elias, you can’t be so

unfair! My brother would be upset if he were to learn about this! And besides, you

promised him that you’d take good care of me. Is this how you’re taking care of me?!”

Thanks to the silence in the car, Amanda heard Grace’s voice very clearly through the

phone. She looked up at the man’s tautened face in profile. After falling silent for a few

seconds, he hung up the phone without saying a word.

He’s probably in a dilemma right now. On one hand, he feels that he has betrayed Grace,

but on the other

hand, he wants to save me. Even Amanda found it exhausting for him. Why bother? “Don’t

you feel tired doing this?” she asked suddenly.

Elias looked at her. “This is my business, and besides, I don’t feel tired doing this.” To tell

the truth, he didn’t feel tired at all, though it would be better if Amanda could accept his

courtship. At least whatever he did wouldn’t be in vain. Right now, he was the only one

making an effort, whereas Amanda ignored him completely.

The car slowly entered the Winters Estate. After Mr. Jones opened the car door, Amanda

stepped out of the car, followed closely by the man. He said to her from behind, “Go take

a shower and get changed. Don’t go to the law firm in the next few days. Just stay home

and leave this to me.”

“No, it’s not necessary. I think I can find evidence to prove my innocence. I didn’t do it, so

I’m not gonna take the fall for this.” Amanda sounded very certain.

Elias fell silent for a moment. Then, he replied, “I understand that you don’t want to admit

it. After all, everyone has times when they get emotional and lose control of themselves.

That being said… Amanda, no one’s going to believe that it was Grace who disfigured her

own face with a knife.”

Amanda was lost for words. Indeed, no one would believe such an absurd fact. And yet,

only she knew that this was the truth-that it was Grace who had disfigured her own face.

“You don’t believe me either. You also think it was my doing.”

Speechless, Elias frowned with a conflicted look in his eyes. It wasn’t that he didn’t want

to believe Amanda. But being an actress who relied on her looks to make a living, how

could Grace possibly ruin her own future?
