She was speechless once again. With a comparison like this, it becomes evident that Elias possesses an irresistible charm for women and an abundance of advantages. The sheer unfairness of it all is striking! Why does fate shower him with such bountiful blessings? And what grants him the privilege? He effortlessly acquires the things that others strive for throughout their lives. It’s an undeniable display of injustice…
At Northern No. 1, Elias spent the entire day playing with Aiden and then accompanied him back home. After opening the door, Aiden rushed into Amanda’s arms, his face coated in a layer of sweat. “Mommy, I went to Universal Studios today. It was so much fun! Let’s go there together next time.”
“Got it. I can see you’ve worked up a sweat” Amanda said, bending down to touch his cheek.
Elias was outside the door, seemingly not intending to come in. “I won’t come in as I already took Anden out for dinner. He had a rough time today and sweated a lot, so please bathe him.”
She responded coldly with a single word, “Oh. Then, I’ll close the door.” As she spoke, she intended to shut
him out.
However, to her surprise, Aiden grabbed the doorknob and waved at Elias. “Goodbye, Daddy Don’t forget about our promise, okay?”
me to this plac
Elias countenance turned cold as he guided her inside the factory. I brought him here. Not even your father knows about this.”
“What Why’d you do that?” she questioned.
At that moment, Crispin came out and questioned, “Stephanie! Why are you here? How could you venture into such a dangerous place?”
She rushed over, her eyes welling up at the sight of his disheveled appearance. I’m sorry, Crisp. It’s my fault you ended up imprisoned like this.”
“No, it’s not. We made a wager. If I win, he will hand you over to me,” he explained.
What? What wager?
Stephanie turned to Elias. “Huh? What wager?”
Crispin replied, “I made a wager that if I could stay here until the end of the month, he would cancel the engagement and let us be together.”
She was shocked. What is Elias up to? Can he cancel the engagement?
Although she was long aware that Elias had no intention of marrying her, she never expected that her father only planned to make a move after the marriage to help Elias regain control of the lost company shares. Things could only progress after their ceremony.
“Are you out of your mind? How can anyone live here? It’s cold, desolate, and dark. How can you stay here for a whole month, Crisp?” Stephanie was moved by his willingness to endure such hardships for her.
Crispin saw her reaction and felt satisfied. After being poor for over twenty years, I finally have a chance to change my destiny. I can’t let it slip away since staying here for a month is nothing compared to the endless wealth and glory I will have in the future.
He envisioned a bright future where he could have anything he wanted. “It’s alright, Steph. I can handle it. It’s nothing like back in my hometown; there wasn’t much difference except for an extra lamp Besides, it’s not easy to encounter a soulmate in one’s life. I don’t want to miss you…”
Stephanie was deeply touched as her tears streamed incessantly.
On the other hand, Yacob could not help but feel a shiver down his spine. This guy may not have any other skills, but he has a knack for cheesy lines. What’s even more impressive is how he manages to make Miss Allegra, who carries herself with great poise, become swoon.
Elias watched the scene unfold with an emotionless expression. Suddenly, she turned to him. “Is what you said true? I won’t forgive you if I find out you’re toying with him!”
She simply thought that Crispin was being naive. What if Elias was just joking? After all, he had lived a pampered life and never experienced hardships. He would never understand the pain that Crispin.
suffered in his heart.
Elias smirked. “A gentleman always keeps his word.”
As the three walked out of the factory, Stephanie could not help but discreetly wipe away her tears. Elias remained expressionless; he knew what Crispin was thinking and felt no trace of sentiment.
“Elias, if Crisp succeeds, will you cancel the engagement and give up your shares?” She had yet to figure
out this man’s intentions.
He glanced coldly at her and replied, “You don’t need to worry about that. I have my plans)
Once I digitally emulate Amelia’s face today, Jack will have no choice but to owe me a favor for locating his long-lost daughter!
“What are you thinking? Don’t toy with Crisp, he’s very innocent and takes things to heart!” Stephanie cautioned.
“I’m serious too. I don’t want to break you two apart,” Elias said.
She was taken aback. “You…”
“Rest assured. I don’t love or want you. I have no interest in seizing you. Just seems pointless,” he stated.
Every word he spoke was accurate, and both Stephanie and Yacob could sense it. They sounded no wrong. but they were awkward and made her uncomfortable. She could not understand where this feeling came from…
When she heard Elias say he did not love her, her heart felt a mix of emotions, which caused a suffocating sensation. “That’s fine! I don’t love you either and won’t let you have me! I belong to Crisp!” she stated, but it was more for the sake of her pride. However, after speaking it, she felt a tinge of regret and realized how childish she sounded.
