Chapter 218 Otherwise, I’ll Flatten This Place Tonight!
Yacob drove Elias around in search of Amanda, as they still needed some time to pinpoint
her location via her phone.
Elias’ expression was completely serious. All he could think about was how pitiful Amanda
seemed while crying in the parking lot, and he wondered if he had been too harsh with his
words. But if he weren’t harsh with Amanda, the cavesdropping Jack,would not believe
him, and he would not be able to use Jack like how he planned.
Elias looked out the window at the quiet street. It was late at night, so where could she be,
and why did she not return home? Could she be hiding somewhere, crying her heart out?
With his knowledge of Amanda, that seemed to happen quite frequently.
At that thought. Elias felt a pang in his heart, and his thick eyelashes trembled.
When Yacob saw his boss’ worried expression through the rearview mirror, he comforted,
“Mr. Winters, don’t worry. We’ve already begun tracking her phone, so I’m sure we will get
the results very soon.”
Just as Yacob was speaking, his phone rang, and he answered it with a serious expression.
It seemed like they had found where Amanda’s phone was located.
After hanging up. Yacob turned the car around and headed in another direction. “We’ve
found her. They say she was at a bar an hour ago, and her current location is at Galaxy
Bay,” Yacob explained.
Galaxy Bay? Elias’ expression instantly turned grim as he realized that was where Simon
was living. Could they be…
With his fists clenched, Elias pursed his lips and ordered. “Faster. Drive faster!”
“Roger that!” Yacob stomped on the accelerator.
Since Amanda was with Simon, it was natural for Elias to be anxious, but what confused
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYacob was that his boss had previously mentioned letting go of Amanda, so why was he so
worked up about which man she was with now? Yacob felt at a loss for words.
At Galaxy Bay.
Simon watched Amanda sleeping and listened to her mumbling. When he saw her frown,
he could not hold back his desire to hold her hand. “I said I can protect you, but why won’t
you give me a chance to do so? Why don’t you believe that I like you?”
The truth was that Simon discovered he seemed to have fallen in love with Amanda at
some point. Saying they could get married and develop feelings later was just an excuse
back then. He wanted to marry Amanda and live a life with her. That was it.
Suddenly, the sleeping Amanda began talking in her sleep again while tightly clutching
Simon’s hand. “Don’t… Don’t go, please… Don’t go, Mom. Don’t leave me alone. Don’t go.
Mom”
She was like a helpless child, softly mumbling as tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.
The sight of her took Simon by surprise because he did not expect her to start crying. He
grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears.
At that moment, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from outside, causing him to
frown. Who would come at such a late hour?
The doorbell rang again, sounding more anxious than the previous time like it was rushing
the person
inside.
Frowning, Simon headed downstairs to the entrance and looked through the video doorbell
to see who was outside. Elias Winters? How did he find out Amanda’s here so quickly?
Ha…
However, Simon chose not to open the door and instead used the intercom. “Go home.
Amanda’s drunk and can’t go home now. She’s sleeping. I’ll send her home tomorrow.”
Outside, Elias was suddenly infuriated and slammed his fist on the door, roaring. I’m
warning you! Return Amanda to me, or I’ll flatten this place tonight!”
Simon, however, was unfazed. He chuckled and stated, “So be it. Let me see how strong
you are.”
Elias went straight toward the car, planning to drive it through the door.
Unexpectedly, he heard Simon’s voice coming through the intercom. “I wanted to ask
what you did to Amanda to make her this way. She’s having dreams tonight, scolding you
and asking you to leave. She says she never wants to see you again and called you a se
mbag. I knew you were a sc*mbag long ago, but she seemed very sad. What did you do to
her?”
The man’s footsteps stopped as his tall figure froze in his spot. After almost an eternity,
Elias ordered. “Send Amanda home tomorrow. If you dare to touch her tonight, I’ll kill you
tomorrow.”
Once he was done, he headed for the car with Yacob following behind him, calling. “Mr.
Winters?”
“Let’s go home, the man coldly instructed before getting in the back seat.
Yacob was stunned for a moment. Why are we suddenly leaving now that we have found
Amanda?
But as Elias’ bodyguards, it was not his place to say anything. Yacob had to do as his boss
said, so he got in the driver’s seat and slowly drove away.
Back inside, Simon watched Elias leave and could not help but feel curious about what
happened between the two and what made the furious Elias suddenly calm down and
actually leave without doing anything.
If it had been in the past, it was impossible for Elias not to start a fight, and he might even
drive the car into the door, but now….
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSimon unconsciously glanced upstairs, guessing an irrevocable conflict must have broken
out between the
two.
It was past 10.00AM the next day when Amanda woke up with a migraine from being
drunk last night. Fortunately, she had drunk some peppermint tea, so her headache was
less severe.
While sitting up in a daze, she looked at the decor around her. This… does not look like
home. Is this a hotel? But it looks familiar.
It was until the room’s door was pushed open and Simon came in with some peppermint
tea that she finally realized where she was.
So, this is Galaxy Bay
“Simon? Why am I here?” She could vaguely remember getting drunk at a bar last night
but could not remember anything that transpired after that.
After giving her the tea, Simon explained, “Drink this. It’s peppermint tea. Your headache
will get better after drinking this.”
Stunned, Amanda took the tea and finished it in one go because she was quite thirsty.
“Thank you.
Simon sat on the side. When he saw she had sobered up. he asked, “What happened last
night? Why did you go to the bar and get drunk? I saw you when my friends and I went
there to have something to drink. You were already drunk then, so I brought you home.”
“Oh… So that’s what happened…” Amanda’s gaze suddenly dimmed again. That was
because she unconsciously recalled the things Elias said at the parking lot. Every word
was harsher and more hurtful than the last.
Her eyes could not help but be filled with tears. It was as if she had returned to the
suffocating parking lot from last night.
Seeing that she kept quiet and even had tears in her eyes, Simon could not help himself
and asked, “Amanda? What are you thinking about?”
