Chapter 469 Meeting With Simon?
It’s okay. I’ll help you contact Mr. Nicholson. He probably doesn’t know the details. If he
knew about your situation, he would definitely take on this case.”
One had to know that Simon’s secretary was a snob and never took on cases from
ordinary people.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you at Lily Cafe. Don’t be late.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Amanda immediately got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, she changed
into a new set of clothes, called Boris to lend her a car, and left the mansion.
After she left, he called Elias to report the situation. Since Elias was meeting with a client
at the other end of the phone, he casually responded, “Got it.”
While driving, Amanda contacted Simon. She studied law in order to uphold justice and
had no reason to stand by and do nothing now that something like this had happened.
The call took a long time to connect, and she heard Simon’s voice on the other end,
saying, “Amanda? | never expected you to call me voluntarily. After what happened
yesterday, I thought you would never call
me again.”
Though she was indeed embarrassed to call Simon, this matter was urgent, and she
couldn’t worry about
that now.
“Simon, listen. It’s urgent. A case has been presented to me, but I’m not in an appropriate
state to advocate for it right now and would like to hand this case over to you. In simple
terms, it’s about a three-year-old girl who a boy killed. It is said that the other party has
hired a lawyer, and there is a high possibility that the case will result in probation. The
father…”
Before Amanda could finish her sentence, Simon questioned, “Is this case real? Are you
sure you haven’t been deceived? If such a heinous case does exist, there’s no reason for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme not to know about it. I deal with the police and the court every day, so how could I not
know if there really is such a heinous case? Are you sure it was one of the parties involved
who contacted you?”
Suddenly, Amanda calmed down. The car had already slowly stopped near Lily Cafe.
She found a random parking space and then picked up her phone to continue the
conversation with
Simon.
“The person who called claimed to be the girl’s father. Why would someone make up such
a case and contact me if it’s fake? And why did they ask me to meet at Lily Cafe?”
“Have you arrived at the cafe? Don’t go inside yet. Wait for me. I’ll be there soon. I just
happen to be somewhere near Lily Cafe.”
“Okay”
Once the call ended. Amanda fell into contemplation and confusion.
She didn’t think it was a scam. Why would someone make up such a tragic story to
deceive her and what was the purpose of doing so?

After getting out of the car, Amanda arrived outside the cafe and looked inside but
couldn’t find any middle-aged man with the voice she heard on the phone.
A while later, Simon appeared behind her. “Amanda.”
She turned around. “Simon, you’re here.”
“I made some calls just now. There haven’t been any cases like you described recently,
and a case of this nature would definitely be in the news, but I haven’t seen any of such
news. Are you sure it was one of the parties involved who contacted you?”.
Amanda frowned and didn’t speak. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed the
unfamiliar number that called her earlier.
Unexpectedly, the phone prompted that it was turned off.
What does this mean? Did he call me to meet him here and then turn off his phone? Could
it really be like what Simon said, that this was just a trick?
“That’s strange; it’s turned off. Could it really be just a trick to get me to come out? But
why would they deceive me?” Amanda looked up at Simon.
In the meantime, Simon was also puzzled by the meaning behind the call and said, “It
could be one of your enemies. You’ve fought against the odds in many cases to uphold
justice, and those people all hate you to the core.”
Speechless, Amanda wondered if her enemies had come to seek revenge on her again.
“Let me send you home. Otherwise, someone might come to take you away later,” Simon
said.
Amanda took another look inside the cafe through the window, but there were only a few
people inside. all of whom were handsome men and beautiful women. There was no
middle-aged man with the voice she heard on the phone.
So, had she been deceived?
Just as she turned around to leave, she noticed a familiar figure in the cafe. The person
looked like Rosie.
Amanda thought she might have been mistaken, but when she walked closer and took a
closer look, she saw that it was Rosie.
How could Rosie so coincidentally be inside the cafe?
“Amanda, what are you looking at? Let’s go.”
“Huh? Oh, nothing. I saw someone I know.”
Afterward, she turned around and left with Simon but still couldn’t figure out who the man
who called her was and why he wanted to deceive her.
Once inside the car, Simon couldn’t help but feel puzzled. That person called you to trick
you into coming out, but nothing happened when you arrived? They would have taken you
away even if they wanted to retaliate against you.”
After receiving her call, Simon rushed over, afraid that he would be a step too late and
Amanda would be taken away.

Yeah, it s strange. No one came to talk to me while I was waiting for you to arrive ”
That evening. Elias returned to the mansion, and the Ingler greeted him.
“Mr Winters, you’re home. Would you like to have dinner!
“No Where’s Amanda’ Has she returned?”
“Miss Bailey has returned, but she came back with Simon, and he left after dropping her
off Boris reported truthfully
Ehas stopped in his tracks and frowned at him. “Sumon? How did she get involved with
him again?”
Boris remained silent because he didn’t know what had happened while Ammanda was
out
Then, Elias walked straight into the villa, determined to find Amanda and get some
answers. Did she leave m a hurry today just to have a private meeting with Simon and
even let him drop her off at home? She simply had no regard for him, her legal husband.
Yet, before he reached Amanda’s room, his phone vibrated.
He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Taylor, so he answered the phone. “What’s
the matter
“Where is Rosie? She has yet to return home all day. Wasn’t she at your place last night? I
called today, and the butler said she came home in the morning with you. However, she
still hasn’t returned home. What s going on?”
Elias immediately frowned. “What did you say? Rosie hasn’t come home? You haven’t seen
her all day?”
“Yes! I can’t reach her on the phone either. Where did she go?”
“I dropped her off at home this morning. How would I know where she went?” Elias felt
that this was not
his fault.
But his answer made Taylor even more furious on the other end of the phone. “What kind
of response that? Are you trying to deceive me? She’s missing, and I can’t find her, no
matter how hard I look. Help me find her. You have such a wide network, after all.”
After saying that, Taylor hung up the phone.
