Amanda had only taken a few steps toward the door before turning over to look at Grace
who was sprawled out on the floor. I thought you loved Elias, but it seems like you don’t
really love him. You would actually hire someone to sabotage his car. Is his life worth
nothing to you?”
“You’re lying! Elias would never believe you! I love him. I would never hurt him!” Grace’s
face was white with fear, afraid that Amanda might actually tell Elias all about this.
“Love him? Did you try to kill him because you love him? Did you know that if the accident
was any worse, he might have died right then and there?!” Amanda shot back.
Amanda pulled open the door and got ready to leave.
Suddenly, Grace called out from where she was on the ground. “Why didn’t you tell Elias
about the boy? What are you afraid of? Since the boy is his, why won’t you tell him?”
As there was no way to salvage the situation, it was time for her to just ask all the
questions in her
mind.
She had always wondered about it. The boy was clearly a trump car Amanda could use to
remarry into the Winters Family. Why did she refuse to use it? She even went through so
much effort to hide the boy’s existence.
“I never planned on telling him. After all, I don’t want to remarry him, nor do I want to give
him the child. It looks like I have no choice now. With an evil snake like you around, only
Elias can protect his child. That won’t be all I’ll be telling him. I’ll also tell him about how

Grace.
While she knew that meant the Winters Family would try to steal her son away from her,
nothing was more important than Aiden’s life.
She wanted Aiden to live a good life. That was all.
If she kept Aiden a secret, Grace would find another chance to target him in the future.

After shooting Grace an icy look of warning, Amanda walked out of the room, closing the
door behind her.
The moment the door clicked shut, Grace’s face was deathly pale like a huge boulder was
pressing down on her heart, making it impossible for her to catch her breath.
If Elias were told about everything that had happened, she would be doomed.

No!! can’t allow that to happen!
She glanced at her phone. Then, as swift as an exploding bomb, she flung it out of the
window.
She had not noticed her phone was bugged.
She then turned to look at the fruit knife on the coffee table….
A sinister idea struck her. Perhaps that was her only way to salvage the situation.
She could not hold back any longer. She was willing to do anything as long as it meant she
could avoid ruining Elias’ impression of her.
She walked over to the couch and picked up the knife. In one cruel swoop, she stabbed it
into her arm, causing blood to drip onto the carpet.
No… This was not bad enough. It would not make him pity her.
She pulled out the knife and stumbled through the pain into the bathroom. She stared at
herself in the mirror as she struggled with what she was about to do. Finally, she raised
the knife and slit. a deep gash below her chin.
The sight of blood made tears flow down her checks as she caved into the urge to sob.
After all, no one was willing to ruin their own beautiful face with ugly scars. Still, she had
no other
choice.
She had to harden her heart if she wanted to get what she desired.
Meanwhile, at the Winters Estate, bored of resting at home, Elias languidly sprawled out
on the rattan lounge seat in the garden as he sipped on a cup of coffee,
Howard hobbled over and snatched away his cup of coffee. “How can you drink coffee
during this time? Do you want to ruin your sleep schedule? You need to focus on eating
and sleeping well so that you can get back to full health soon.”
Elias frowned in annoyance. “I know, Grandpa.”
“Do you? Also, keep this on. It’s a good health charm I got just for you. You must have it
with you. all the time and not lose it. You also can’t let it get wet. Got it?”
Howard held out a good health charm.
Elias was rendered speechless. He had been wondering why Howard had been missing for
a few days. It seemed like Howard had gone off to pray.

While Elias did not believe in charms, he would never turn down a gesture of kindness
from Howard. Hence, he dismissively replied, “Okay.”
“What kind of attitude is that? Put it away now! Remember to keep it with you every single
day! I’ve ordered Yacob to keep a close eye on you,” Howard admonished.
Elias stared back in silence.
Just then, Yacob walked over to them with a look so grave that it was as if something bad
had.
happened.
“Mr. Winters, Sir,” he greeted.
After greeting the two men, Yacob stood behind Elias as though he had something urgent
to say. However, he did not speak as Howard was there.
“Just tell me,” Elias eventually said.
Yacob leaned in and whispered into Elias’ ear. Elias’ face blanched with horror.
The sudden change in expression caught Howard’s attention. While he knew that meant
something bad had happened, he did not say a word. Since the company was now in Elias’
har he would not worry about it anymore.
Still, he could not resist saying, “Is it the company? Don’t panic. Remain calm.”
“It’s not that, Grandpa. It’s something personal. I have to go deal with it now,” Elias said.
Elias shot to his feet and strolled out of the garden at an urgent pace.
“What on earth happened? Why would Amanda slash Grace’s face? How did they get into
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma fight?” Elias immediately demanded as he stomped toward the car.
Yacob, who was following close behind, replied, “I don’t know that either. I only know what
Miss Murphy said over the phone. She is now in the hospital. I’ve also had someone look
into the surveillance footage. Miss Bailey did willingly go into Miss Murphy’s home and
slapped Miss Murphy while they were standing in the doorway. Soon after, Miss Bailey left
while Miss Murphy was injured.”
“Show me the surveillance footage now!”
Elias did not believe what Yacob had told him. Amanda was never an impulsive woman.
Why would she go after Grace for no reason?
He had already broken up with Grace and reduced his interactions with her. Why would
Amanda do this then? What happened?
“Yes, sir!”.

Sitting in the back of the car, Elias waited with a severe look on his face.
A few minutes later, Yacob handed him a tablet with the surveillance footage displayed on
it.
Elias’ face turned uglier and uglier as he watched the footage.
It was true that Amanda had visited Grace unprompted, and that Amanda had slapped
Grace. When Grace eventually walked out of her home, her entire body was covered in
blood and there was a bleeding gash on her face,
His hands clenched into fists as he pursed his lips.
“Let’s go to the hospital first.”
“Yes, sir!”
He would first check out the situation at the hospital. There was no way he could
wholeheartedly believe Amanda could be that cruel.
