Chapter 468 A Stranger’s Call
Rosie hurriedly caught up with the man, grabbing his arm. “Eli, can you accompany me for
a while?”
The man stopped and turned to look at her. “It’s late, and I’m tired. I have a busy day
tomorrow. If you’re scared, you can talk to the nanny. Besides, there’s nothing a grown
man like me can talk to a young woman like you about.”
With that. Elias removed her hand and walked away.
Rosie watched his cold back and gritted her teeth in anger.
Amanda couldn’t sleep all night, her mind filled with thoughts of that despicable man.
The more she thought about him, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.
“Elias, who do you think you are? You were so cruel to me four years ago and still treat me
the same now. Do you think you’re all that because you have amnesia? I’ll get into a car
accident tomorrow and get amnesia too. Let’s see who’s afraid of whom then!”
She was so angry that she paced back and forth in her bedroom.
In the early morning hours, she estimated the time and realized that it was almost
nighttime at Lawrence Estate, so she decided to call Yacob to discuss what to do next.
Amanda dialed Yacob’s phone, and it rang for a long time before he answered.
Then, she heard Yacob deliberately lowering his voice on the other end. “Why are you
calling me at this hour? I was searching everywhere for a bathroom.”
“Isn’t it nighttime there? Shouldn’t you be off work by now? What are you afraid of?”
“I applied for the night shift patrol and am currently on duty. What’s up?”
“Well, if you’re busy, then forget it. I just wanted to ask how things are over there. I
received a call from Aiden, and he said he was happy to see you.”
Yacob’s voice came through the phone. “I can’t do anything here besides secretly

“No, not only has he not regained his memory, but he has also started to appreciate Rosic
Amanda’s mood was somewhat depressed.
“What? How is that possible? It’s all my fault. I should have taken care of her before I left,
or else she wouldn’t have misled Mr. Winters.”
Amanda sighed. “Let’s not talk about that. Tell me what I should do now. How can we help
him regain his memory?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll think of something. I know a psychologist who might be able to help. Let
me look for that doctor, and I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”
“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Amanda felt relieved. At least she felt there was still hope.
Elias amnesia was indeed a psychological issue, so it was necessary to find a psychologist.
She wondered why she hadn’t thought of it before.
The next morning, early dawn.
Amanda had only fallen asleep after five in the morning, so she didn’t know when Elias
had left.
The car was already waiting in front of the villa for him to get in.
“Mr. Winters, there’s a meeting at 9 a.m., a meeting with overseas clients at 2 p.m., and a
dinner party in the evening…
The assistant reported Elias’ schedule, which Elias acknowledged before getting into the
car.
Suddenly, Rosie’s voice came from behind. “Eli, wait for me!”
The man turned around and frowned. “What are you doing here? I’m going to work, not to
have fun. I can’t take you with me.”
Moreover, it was impossible for him to focus on work with a woman by his side, especially
when that woman was Rosie.
Rosie ran up to him. “Eli, I won’t disturb you at work. Can I hitch a ride with you back
home? I’ve already researched it. You will pass by my house on your route to the company.
Just drop me off at the intersection, and I’ll only have to walk a few hundred meters to get
home.”
With that said, the man had no choice but to let her get in the car.
After getting in the car, Elias instructed the driver, “Send her home first.”
“No, that’s not necessary. Just drop me off at the intersection of Volund Road. It’s only a
few hundred meters away from home, and I can take a walk,” Rosie insisted.
The man didn’t say anything more.
So, the driver drove the car to the intersection of Volund Road, and Rosie unfastened her
seatbe hesitation, waved goodbye to the man, and walked away.
Yet, after Elias’ car left, Rosie stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around to watch the
car disap into the street. A sinister smile appeared on her lips.
At Winters Estate.
Amanda woke up in the afternoon. The nanny had come and knocked on her door several
times before but failed to wake her up. In the end, she only woke up when she received a
phone call.
Upon hearing the ringtone, she instantly became alert and reached for her phone. She
thought it might be Yacob calling with news about the psychologist, but when she picked
up the phone, she saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe answered the call with a disappointed expression, and a strange man’s voice came
from the other coat. “Miss Bailey, can we meet up? I have a case I would like to entru
to you.”
It turned out the stranger was looking for her to be his defense attorney, but she had so
many things to handle right now, and she wasn’t in the mood to help defend someone
else.
Moreover, she would only cause harm to her client if she took on a case in her current
state. She couldn’t focus at all.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not taking on any cases recently, I’m busy with my own personal
matters…”
But the man on the phone started crying before Amanda could finish her sentence. “Miss
Bailey, I beg you. I know you’re a very capable lawyer, and my daughter would die in vain
if you refused to help me 1 can’t accept that. My daughter was only three years old
Three years old? The same age as Aiden. What happened? This piqued her curiosity.
Amanda couldn’t help but ask, “If you don’t mind me asking, can you briefly tell me what
happened?”
“My daughter was killed by a monster. I want to die with her, but I can’t stand to watch
that monster go free. He hired the best lawyer and might only spend a few years in prison
or even not go to prison. Miss Bailey, I beg you. Please help me!”
As a lawyer, Amanda’s sense of justice was completely ignited. This was another tragic
case, and it involved a poor little girl.
Although she couldn’t work on this case, she could hand it over to Simon. He had a good
reputation in the legal profession and was particularly skilled in these types of cases.
“Let’s meet up then. I may not be able to advocate for you, but I can introduce you to a
friend of mine who is very good at these kinds of cases. His name is Simon Nicholson.”
“Is it Simon Nicholson from Justice & Associates? I’ve already tried to contact him, but his
secretary rejected me and wouldn’t even meet with me.”
