Chapter 333 How Much Does This Man Love Amanda?
“You actually call me malicious?! Why?!” Stephanie was rather shocked. Is that the kind of
woman I am to this guy?
Elias let out a snort of contempt. “Why, you ask? You know full well what you’ve done, and
I can’t be bothered to ask. That being said, from now on, if you dare to lay a finger on
Amanda and her son again, I’ll never let you get away with it! Remember this: I won’t
forgive you, even if your father begs me on his knees!”
Stephanie retorted, “What makes you assume that I had something to do with my sister
going missing back then? You don’t have any evidence of it! What makes you think I’m
malicious and would lay a finger on her and her son?! And besides, even if you won’t let
me get away with it, so what? What can you do to me, anyway?!” She was as mad as a
hornet. This guy is simply unreasonable, accusing me without any substantial evidence
and even warning me in advance! This is an absolute insult to me!
He stood up and strode up to her, causing her to step back repeatedly in fear. “What are
you doing?!” she asked.
Elias unceremoniously grabbed her by the collar. “I’ll let you know what it means to suffer
a fate worse than death. Try it if you don’t believe me,” he said, throwing her onto the
couch before turning to leave the villa.
Stephanie fell onto the couch, her face as white as a sheet. For a long time, she didn’t
come to her senses; a chill ran down her spine, and a cold sweat broke out on her palms.
A fate worse than death… He actually said that! Just how much does he love Amanda?!
Does she matter that much to him?!
At last, she couldn’t bear it any longer. She stood up and turned to look at the tall man
who was about to walk out the door, yelling furiously, “If you love her that much, why did
you divorce her?! Didn’t you divorce her because you didn’t love her anymore?!”
The man paused for a moment, but he didn’t answer her question, nor did he even glance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtback at her. Instead, he continued stepping out the door. I don’t need to explain to anyone
whether I love Amanda or not.
“Elias Winters, you unreasonable lunatic!” Stephanie picked up one cushion after another.
from the couch, hurling them onto the floor.
Just then, Yacob came in and caught one of the cushions she threw. He said with a smile,
“Let’s go, Miss Allegra. It’s getting late already. Don’t you have a date with that Crisp guy?
Now that there’s nothing getting between the two of you anymore, why not make the
most of this time to get lovey-dovey?”
Stephanie hurled another cushion at him. “Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare

you come here and mock me!”
Yacob nimbly dodged it while still maintaining his carefree demeanor. He replied with a
laugh, “It’s true that I’m a nobody, but I’m better than someone who was so malicious at
the age of four as to make her sister go missing just to compete for attention. Tsk, tsk. If
this were a palace drama, you’d at least make it to the final episode.”
“You b*stard! What nonsense are you talking about?! Get lost! Get the hell out of here! I
don’t want you to give me a ride!” Stephanie’s eyes rounded with rage. Why does even
this f*cking bodyguard know about this?!
He shrugged before tossing the car keys onto the couch. “That’s fine. You think I’d be
happy to give you a ride? Here, take the car keys and drive yourself back. The car isn’t
worth much, anyway. You may
consider it a gift from Mr. Winters.” Good thing that I don’t have to give her a ride. It’s nice
to have some free time. He turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Stephanie was left alone in this seaside villa, listening to the echoes of her own angry
voice and the sound of the waves. Even the sound of the wind blowing on the sea seemed
to be mocking her for being malicious.
In Winters Estate…
Night came. After bathing Aiden, Amanda carried him back to bed and helped him change
into his pajamas. Then, after telling him stories for a long time, she finally got this little
brat to sleep.
She slowly tiptoed out of the room in light footsteps. Relieved that she could finally get
some rest, she rubbed her neck, which was somewhat sore from constantly looking down
at design drawings these past few days. As soon as she raised her head, she came face to
face with Elias, who was still in his suit. He had probably just returned.
“Is Aiden sleeping already?”
“Yeah, he just fell asleep. Have you had dinner?” she asked.
Elias replied, “Not yet, but I’ll go down to eat after taking a shower.”
“Oh… I’m going back to my room, then,” said Amanda before preparing to leave. Before I
knew it, things had become awkward again between us.
He grabbed her wrist, though.
Amanda looked up with a frown. “Is there anything else?”
Elias asked, “Have you really decided to return to the Allegra Family? Maybe things are
fine

as they are now. Once your identity is made public, there’ll be a lot of inconveniences.
You’ll no longer be able to be yourself as much as you want, and you’ll be constrained by
your social status.” He looked dead serious, as if giving her a piece of sincere advice. I’ve
always been constrained by my status as the scion of the Winters Family since I was born.
I could never be myself. Does Amanda have to go through the same thing now?
Amanda replied, “No one can restrain me. After my identity is made public, I’ll still be
myself, though you might not have it easy. Those tabloids will certainly dig up the fact that
you and I have been secretly married. They’ll make up all sorts of stories about it, and you
might go from being a dreamboat to a sc*mbag.” After all, countless ladies on the
internet. idolized him as the nation’s heartthrob. They would never have imagined that
Elias was already married and divorced with a three-year-old son.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElias let out a snort of disdain. “I don’t care. I don’t live for them. I have my own things to
do.”
“Same here,” replied Amanda with a faint smile.
He slowly released his grip on her hand, after which she walked toward her room. He
realized that she had indeed grown up and changed a lot; she was very different from the
woman he had secretly married all those years ago. The present Amanda was unflappable
and perfectly capable of handling things on her own. For some reason, a sense of danger
crept over him. He felt that this woman didn’t need his protection anymore, which left
him. feeling frustrated.
Soon, it was time for the dinner party at the end of the month to formally introduce
Amanda as a daughter of the Allegra Family. Jack was so excited; he had the most
luxurious hotel ballroom reserved to host the dinner party and invited friends from all over
the world. to witness this occasion.
As Amanda was sitting at the dresser wearing makeup, she suddenly laughed at herself in
the
mirror.
Selina, who was helping her with her dress, asked, “What are you laughing at? Today is a
big day for you! All eyes are on you as you turn from a Cinderella into a real princess-no,
you’ve always been a princess. You’re returning to your rightful home.”
Amanda replied, “I was laughing because this party is even grander than when I got
married. All I did back then was get my marriage certificate, and I hadn’t even met Elias in
person, and yet I became the Winters Family’s daughter-in-law just like that. That being
said, I never got to enjoy the privileges of being the daughter-in-law of a rich family for a
single day. I never even had a wedding before my divorce.”
“Amanda, why don’t you stop mentioning those unhappy things? Elias is bending over
backward to please you now, and you won’t even respond to him,” said Selina in an
attempt to divert her attention. After all, it was such a joyful occasion.
