Chapter 220 Chastised by Your Ex-wife’s Boyfriend?
Amanda was in no mood to talk about this matter. With a frustrated expression, she
shouted, “Yes, yes, and yes! The president of the Allegra Group has already approached
me to come up with a prenuptial agreement. Does that tell you it’s real or not?”
Simon fell silent. Is Elias serious about this? Didn’t he seem like he had deep feelings for
Amanda? Didn’t he vow to get back with her? Why did he change all of a sudden? There
must be a reasonable explanation.
The next moment, Amanda walked past Simon and exited the bedroom. He turned around
and called after her, “Amanda…”
“I’m begging you to leave me alone. I’m tired.” Her tone sounded helpless, like she
refused to say another
word.
Since it was not appropriate to say anything else, Simon let her leave.
Once he heard the villa door being closed, he took out his phone and hesitated for a while
before deciding to call Elias.
Meanwhile, Elias was meeting a client in the conference room when his phone suddenly
rang. He took a look and saw it was from Simon.
Since Simon rarely called him, it meant he must have called about something very
important.
After thinking about it, the man answered the call with a swipe of his finger and placed his
phone beside his ear. “What’s the matter?”
Simon’s confused voice came from the other end. “Nothing much. I just want to ask what
you have up your sleeve. Don’t you like Amanda and want to get back with her? Don’t you
want to get Aiden back? What the heck are you doing? Why are you getting involved with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Allegra Group?”
Listening to the strain of questions from his phone, Elias frowned in frustration. Why was
everyone asking him for a reason when whatever he was doing could not be revealed to
others? Jack was a sly fox, só if he told anyone his plan, Jack would definitely find out
about it. Therefore, he had to keep this a secret. from Amanda, let alone Simon.
The man held his forehead with his long fingers and spoke in a frustrated voice. “It does
not concern you. Don’t you understand a man’s true nature? With my identity, how could I
be willing to stay with only one woman? As for a child, any woman would be willing to bear
my child. Since you like Amanda, you can freely pursue her. I won’t bother.”
“Elias, will you take responsibility for what you said today?” Simon sounded a little angry
on the phone, like he wanted to come over and punch Elias.
As for Elias, he said those words because Jack and his secretary had entered the door a
moment earlier.
Meanwhile, Jack pretended he did not care while eavesdropping on the phone call. The
meeting room was extremely quiet, so much so that one could hear a pin drop.
Elias watched as the cunning old fox sat on the couch, seemingly looking at the document
in his hand when he was actually listening to his answer.
Therefore, Elias could only resolutely reply, “Of course, I will take responsibility for my
words. I am no longer interested in Amanda, and if you’re interested in providing for my
son, I can give Aiden to you. Stephanie will bear me a child after we get married, anyway.”
“Elias Winters, do you hear what you’re saying? It seems like you made Amanda quite
furious last night, or else she wouldn’t have been so angry. You’re such a se mbag! Not
only did you hurt her four years ago, but you still haven’t changed four years later. I didn’t
expect you to still act this way. Since you’ve decided to give up on Amanda and Aiden,
you’d better not go anywhere near them again!”
Once Simon was done, he immediately hung up.
Elias listened to the beeping of the phone and felt his heart ache. He remained calm on
the surface because he knew that once he said that, he would never be able to get
Amanda and Aiden back.
However, the burden on his shoulders was too crucial, so he could only give up his
feelings.
When Jack saw Elias putting away his phone, he spoke up. “What’s the matter? Got
chastised by your ex- wife’s boyfriend?”
After snorting. Elias replied, “It doesn’t matter. She’s my ex-wife, so we will never have
anything to do with each other ever again. Also, I’m getting engaged next month. Let’s
forget about this. By the way. Mr. Allegra, I heard my aunt say that she has begun
acquiring some small businesses?”
Jack nodded upon hearing that. “Yes. Your aunt isn’t easily reckoned with. Since she
shamelessly took away your grandfather’s shares, she is afraid you might want to take
them back, so she is now trying all she can to buy supporters to resist your attack
whenever it may be.”
Frowning, Elias thought he might have indeed underestimated Anna. She had disliked him
since he was young and always said his grandfather was biased toward him and doted on
him until he behaved lawlessly.
But her spendthrift son was also doted on till the point that he behaved lawlessly as well.
That young man was indeed immoral because he had gotten several women pregnant and
lost quite a lot of money.
It seemed like he had to accelerate his plans.
Elias pretended to look serious. “By the way, Mr. Allegra, where are we going to hold the
engagement party next week? I’ve already started preparing the invitations. I have quite a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnumber of friends and family. How about you?”
Jack was happy to hear Elias mentioning the engagement on his own and smiled. “You
don’t have to worry about that. I’ll take care of everything, and you will only need to
attend the party with Steph. You youngsters shouldn’t waste time on those matters. Just
focus on whatever matters you have on hand.”
“That’s great. I have three projects running at the same time, so I am quite busy. Thank
you for stepping in, Mr. Allegra.”
“We’re about to become a family. Why are you still calling me Mr. Allegra?” Jack teased.
A hint of displeasure appeared in Elias’ eyes, but he still complied. “Thank you, Jack.
You’ve worked hard
on this matter.”
“Good. Steph and I recently had a conflict again. If you have the time, please accompany
her. After all, she’s my only daughter, and I would not want her to suffer any grievances.
Moreover, feelings are developed, so I’m sure Steph will gradually forget that poor man
and fall for you. Our families are a good match for each other.”
Elias nodded. “Tll go to her tonight. No matter how busy I am, I must make time for my
fiancé. She is the most important.”
“Very good. It’s great that you understand that a harmonious family is the key to
prosperity.”
Jack was growing more satisfied with his future son-in-law. However, he never had a
chance or reason to get the Winters Family to propose marriage to his family before, so he
had to seize this chance to do so.
“Your aunt will also attend the board of directors meeting later, so you have to prepare
yourself and control your anger. We still have bigger matters to attend to, so don’t get too
emotional, alright?” Jack reminded Elias.
With a slight frown, Elias stated, “I understand. I won’t mess up at such an important
moment. I’ll listen to your orders.”
