Chapter 345 Early Morning Argument
He then leaned backward, even lighting a cigarette and starting to smoke. Crispin had
never dared smoke in front of Stephanie to give her the impression that he had excellent
morals, and it was clear that she had always treated him that way. Had Elias not shown
up, she would have remained devoted to Crispin but sadly, she now fancied Elias.
However, Crispin had to become the Allegras’ son-in-law, so she could only be his wife.
Ding! Dong!
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Stephanie had arrived, which made Crispin perk up at once. He stubbed the cigarette in
the ashtray and closed the curtains with a remote before heading toward the foyer.
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
The doorbell kept ringing as if she was panicking already.
Crispin eyed the switch on the wall and immediately switched off all the lights in the room,
making his surroundings pitch black. After that, he slowly opened the door but hid behind
it.
Meanwhile, Stephanie was confused when the door opened. What is going on? Why didn’t
he switch on the light? It is completely dark!
“Elias, what are you doing here? Why haven’t you switched on the lights? You-” Before she
could finish, she was dragged abruptly inside by a man’s arm before the door closed
quickly.
“Help! What do you want?”
She was pushed against the wall and could sense clearly that the man’s body was moving
closer. She thought that it was Elias, and she somehow blushed involuntarily even if it
wasn’t visible in the room.
“W-What do you want to do to me?” Her voice shook.
In the next moment, Crispin lowered his head and kissed her forcefully and deeply.

after remembering that it was Elias. Her mind was blank. Is it Elias who is forcefully kissing
me? Goodness! It is amazing yet exciting!
However, she didn’t know that it was Crispin, the man whom she had loved so entirely
before, who was doing these things.
“W-Why are you treating me like this?” She was shy and embarrassed, not even daring to

look directly at the man even in the dark.
Crispin replied hoarsely, “Don’t you want it?”
He then kissed her again, but Stephanie felt that the voice sounded strange. Does Elias
sound like that? However, she soon lost all rationality and let herself go.
As for Crispin, the reason he dared to do this was because Elias was attending a banquet
in the hotel.
At that very moment, Elias was chatting with famous figures from different circles. He
hadn’t planned on coming that night but had heard that Amanda would be there, so he
attended the occasion as well. However, he didn’t see her at all, which disappointed him.
He went to the balcony alone and called Amanda, but he gave up when she didn’t pick up
after a long while. He soon left the banquet; he might as well go home and rest rather
than remain bored there. After all, he hadn’t slept much recently since he had been so
busy that he didn’t have time to eat.
He then drove back to Galaxy Bay, intending to get a good night’s sleep before going to
the Allegra Villa to see his son and Amanda. He had been away from them for several
days, yet he missed them so much that he was losing sleep.
The following morning, Crispin was nowhere to be seen in room 5022 of Cloudview Hotel,
leaving Stephanie dozing on the bed until she was awoken by the doorbell. She rubbed her
eyes and slowly sat up, finding herself lying on the hotel bed as the doorbell continued.
ringing.
Without thinking of recalling what happened the night before, she quickly got up and
opened the door, carefully hiding behind it.
The waiter brought breakfast and smiled when the door opened. “Hello, this is your
breakfast. One Mr. Winters ordered for you.”
Mr. Winters?
“Okay, you don’t have to come in. Just push the trolley inside.”
Stephanie was still undressed, so of course she couldn’t let anyone in.
The waiter had no choice but to inform her, ‘Call the reception desk when you’re done,
and we will come and collect it.”

“I know, I know. Just go.” She closed the door right away and studied the trolley, recalling
the waiter had just mentioned Mr. Winters.
Mr. Winters?
Is he referring to Elias Winters? He is the only one I know with that last name. So, it’s
really him who slept with me last night! Stephanie felt happy yet hurt. Why did he
disappear so early in the morning? Has he fled the room?
At that moment, Crispin took a stack of cash and handed it to the waiter in the corridor.
around the corner from the room. “Did you say what I’ve told you to?”
The waiter took the money. “Don’t worry. I repeated it word for word.”
“That’s good. Remember to never tell anyone about this or you will be in great trouble,”
Crispin mentioned with a secretive expression.
The waiter had been working long enough to know this and nodded. “Don’t worry. I know
what to do.”
The Allegra Villa had erupted into chaos early in the morning.
Amanda had slept in for a while since she had worked late into the night. She checked the
time when she woke up, planning to go back to sleep. However, she then heard a
commotion downstairs.

What is going on?
She got up and put on her dressing gown before tidying herself up in the bathroom. After
changing into her usual outfit for home, she left the room.
The commotion became louder as soon as she left the room, but she couldn’t hear what
the argument was about. It seemed to be Jack and Stephanie arguing while Edith was
trying to pacify them.
“Why won’t you believe what I say? Do I look like a liar?” Stephanie shouted at her
frustration lining her tone.

Amanda listened to the argument as she headed downstairs, not knowing what everyone
was arguing about since she couldn’t understand it.
Jack was extremely furious and scolded Stephanie, “Shut up and stop talking! Don’t let
your sister hear anything! Why are you acting like this? Besides, Elias is not that kind of
person. You shouldn’t act so out of turn!”

Dad, what do you mean by that? Am I someone who behaves that way?”
Amanda had come up behind them by then and couldn’t help asking, “What happened
with Elias?”
The three Allegras’ expressions changed when they heard her speak. Jack didn’t know
where to begin, while Edith looked conflicted and hesitant.
Only Stephanie looked victorious and vindicated as she turned around proudly to meet
Amanda’s eyes. “Your ex-husband Elias slept with me last night. That’s what happened.”
Amanda was so shocked that she froze to the
