The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 262 You Shouldn’t Have Come

Selina’s eyes

widened in disbelief as she read the unfounded rumors. These people have crossed the line. How could they spread and even create rumors when they know nothing? A woman’s life is lost, so how could they do such a thing?”

Amanda sneered. “That’s the last of their concerns. They believe that since they’re anonymous on the internet, they can spout nonsense as they please, and there won’t be any consequences. If Elias dares to press charges against them, they will boycott the Winters Enterprise’s products and call him narrow- minded.”

“The more I read these comments, the more furious I feel. I don’t want to see it anymore. A vexed Selina put down the tablet.

Just then, an excited Aiden rushed over and asked, “It’s the weekend, Mommy. Is Daddy coming over to head out with me?”

Well, Elias is probably busy dealing with the scandal right now. I don’t think he’ll have time to come over and have fun with his son.

At the thought of this. Amanda explained patiently, “Baby, your daddy is swamped with work today, so we have to be considerate. Don’t you agree?”

Upon hearing that, Aiden hung his head low. Despite feeling unhappy, he pouted and said, “Alright, I’ll have fun on my own today.”

Amanda touched his face with a smile. “You’re such a good boy. Miss Selina and I will prepare shrimp for

you tomorrow as a reward.”

“Yay! That’s great!” Aiden turned around and ran back to his room with a joyful expression.

“Amanda, do you think Mr. Winters might have an affair with the secretary? Otherwise, why did she commit suicide all of a sudden?” Selina was interested in the real reason behind Natasha’s death.

“That’s impossible,” Amanda replied without hesitation. Her response was resolute, as if she understood. the man fully well.

“I’m saying what if-”

“There’s no what-if.” Amanda cut her off. “I understand Elias, and he’s not that kind of person. Since he said Natasha wasn’t his first love, that’s definitely true. I’m not saying that he’s righteous. It’s just that he can’t be bothered to lie. That’s because he has the money to bear all sorts of consequences. If the rumors were true that Natasha was indeed impregnated with his child-he could’ve let the woman give birth to it. It’s not like he’s too poor to raise a child. As such, your what-if doesn’t hold water?

A convinced Selina dipped her head. “You have a point. It seems that your ex-husband is pretty righteous. and reliable.”

Amanda sneered. “That’s true. Even if he wants to mess with women, he’ll make it clear and won’t let them have any hope.”

Presently, she was watching the television because the news channel was reporting the incident.

It seemed that she had to head to the company the next day. Regardless, she was still the legal consultant of the company on paper. Since such a scandal had broken out, she couldn’t just stay at home and do nothing.

The next morning, Amanda put on a suit and headed to the Winters Enterprise. After entering the lobby, she saw an elderly couple holding a banner that claimed Elias had killed their daughter.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at them. Are they Natasha’s parents?

Under normal circumstances, the relatives would deal with the funeral first before they went looking for the culprit. Natasha’s parents came to the company the next day after she passed away, so it was apparent that they were after money.

Just then, a security guard came over and said, “Please hurry up and don’t look at them, Miss Bailey. They’ll catch anyone and accuse Mr. Elias of killing their daughter.”

“Why do you guys let them stand there?” Amanda asked.

The security guard replied, “We have no other choice. We’d asked them to head to the reception room to have a talk, but they turned down the suggestion. They insisted on staying here and putting on an act.”

“What do you mean?”

The security guard continued in a hushed voice, “This elderly couple is pretty interesting. On the day their daughter committed suicide, they had come to the company and demanded money from Natasha. They scolded and hit her in front of many people. After they were gone, Natasha ended her own life. How do they have the nerve to come here and demand justice?”

Upon hearing that, Amanda finally understood what was happening and figured out why Natasha committed suicide.

She took another look at the elderly couple, no longer having any sympathy for them. Then, she was ready to walk toward the elevator.

The security guard said politely, “Are you going to see the president? He’ll probably need your legal. advice. Please use the elevator on the left as the one on the right is under repair.”

Thanks, Amanda said and headed toward the elevator.

When the elderly couple heard the word ‘legal, their eyes brightened as they dashed forward and stopped. Amanda.

“Are you a lawyer, miss? Can you help get justice for our daughter? She was killed by the president of this company!”

A helpless Amanda was pulled back to the lobby. She gazed at the two of them and explained, “Yes, I’m a lawyer, but I’m the legal consultant of this company.”

The man asked, “What does a legal consultant dq? Can you get justice for my daughter? I don’t care what your title is as long as you can stand up for our daughter.“

The security guard rushed over and pulled Amanda away from them before standing in front of her. “What are you doing, sir and madam? She’s the legal consultant of our company, so she’ll only defend our rights. If you need a lawyer, hire one yourself.”

“What? Are you saying she’ll only defend this company? Elias had killed my daughter, so how could you still help him? You’re a terrible person as well!” The man stared resentfully at Amanda.

Then, the elderly couple lifted the banner again and lamented to the employees about how miserable they

were.

“Please leave in a hurry, Miss Bailey. Otherwise, they’ll pester you again,” suggested the security guard.

Amanda nodded and entered the elevator. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Elias was dealing with work in the president’s office when he heard someone knocking on the door from the outside.

Without lifting his head, he said, “Come in.”

Amanda pushed the door open and saw the man signing a document.

Even when she sat down in front of him, he was still unaware of her presence. It wasn’t until he was done with work and lifted his head that he was met with the woman’s clear gaze.

He was startled for a moment, but he soon pulled himself together. “Why are you here? You shouldn’t have come at this point. There are reporters everywhere.”

“I’m the legal consultant of this company, so I have to help deal with the crisis as well.”

Elias was rendered speechless. To be honest, he didn’t want Amanda to be dragged into this matter.

She leaned against the chair and cut to the chase by saying, “Have you come up with a way to deal with it? The elderly couple is putting all their effort into it. I’ve heard from the security guard that they’ve been. standing in the lobby for more than ten hours, even though they are old and frail. They’ve been crying and lamenting, but they don’t seem exhausted at all.”

The man snorted. “If they can get exorbitant compensation, their effort will be worth it. They certainly hope to stand there for a longer time to get more money.”
