Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 104 She Was Too Dumb
This man actually laid his hands on her-because of Grace. Even though his attitude toward her was so terrible four years ago, he
had never laid a hand on her.
Amanda’s emotions erupted in an instant. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her fists were clenched tightly at her sides.
After Elias slapped her, he immediately regretted it. I actually hit Amanda...
“Amanda... I’m sorry. L
The man reached out to touch her cheek, but Amanda slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch me!”
Elias had a severe headache. He slumped on the couch, his breathing becoming rapid. The figure of the woman in front of him
seemed blurred.
“Amanda, I’m sorry... But you really shouldn’t have ruined Grace’s face. You know how important looks are to a woman...”
Before the man could finish his sentence, Amanda interrupted him again, “Elias! From now on, we’re done! Neither of us should
bother each other anymore! Since you don’t believe me, then never come to find me again! I don’t need you! I never want to see
you again! I hate you! I loathe you!”
After saying that, Amanda turned around and left her office, slamming the door heavily.
The sound of the door slamming was like a heavy stone crashing into the man’s chest, suffocating him and leaving his face as
white as a sheet.
Elias leaned against the couch, wanting to get up and chase after her, but he had no strength at all. He felt heavy and his head
felt like it was about to explode.
Amanda walked out of the office in tears. The secretary, who was making a phone call, immediately stood up upon seeing her.
“Miss Bailey, what happened? What’s going on?”
The secretary had also noticed the red handprint on Amanda’s cheek. Was she slapped? Did Mr. Winters do it?No way? How
could that be?

The secretary’s heart burned with curiosity, and as Amanda headed toward the elevator, she turned around and whispered to
another secretary.
“What’s going on? How could Mr. Winters lay his hands on a woman? Did you see it? Miss Bailey has a handprint on her face.

“I saw it, definitely. Miss Bailey came out crying too. These wealthy people are so despicable. Did he make some inappropriate
demands that Miss Bailey rejected?”
Just then, Simon walked over with a folder, preparing to discuss a case with Amanda.
Unexpectedly, he encountered the two secretaries gossiping.
Simon tapped the table with the folder. “Gossiping during work hours? Should I give you both a day’s leave so you can find a
cafe to chat?”
The two secretaries immediately straightened up, and one of them reported to Simon, “Mr. Nicholson, it seems like Miss Bailey
has been bullied.”
“What? Who dares to bully her? What happened?” Simon’s expression immediately changed.
“Mr. Winters from Winters Enterprise came here. Miss Bailey went in for a while and then came out crying. It seems she was
slapped. We don’t know exactly what happened....”
“What?! Where is Amanda?” Simon couldn’t believe his ears. Elias actually laid his hands on Amanda?
“I don’t know. She didn’t say anything when we asked her. She just left crying. On the other hand, Mr. Winters is still in the office.
He hasn’t come out yet”
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Simon, full of anger, rushed into the office. How could a man lay his hands on a
woman?

Simon kicked open the office door and indeed saw the man sitting on the couch in the reception
arca.
He charged forward, his voice filled with anger. “Elias! What do you think you’re doing laying your hands on a woman? You...”
Simon approached the couch but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Elias was slumped on the couch, unconscious. He had a pale face and a large pool of blood around him...
How could this happen?
Simon truly hadn’t expected to witness such a scene. Could it be that his internal injuries from the car accident hadn’t healed at
all?
He tried to calm down for a few seconds, then immediately took out his phone and called emergency services. If Elias continued
to be unconscious here, his situation could really be life- threatening.
As for what happened between him and Amanda, it would have to wait until Elias had received emergency treatment at the
hospital.

Meanwhile, Amanda cried all the way as she walked to the underground parking lot, which was empty. She opened the car door,
sat in the driver’s seat, and sobbed against the steering wheel, overwhelmed with grievances.
I was wrong; I was truly wrong. I shouldn’t have harbored any illusions about that scumbag. I even wanted to tell him about the
child. I had been truly insane... Completely insane.
Amanda changed her mind then, she would never, ever tell Elias about the existence of the child.
A man like Elias, who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, wasn’t worthy of having custody of
the child.

As long as Elias still believed in Grace, the child wouldn’t have a good life in the Winters Family. She wouldn’t allow her child to
face the risk of being killed by Grace every day.
She no longer wanted any connection with Elias. She had been dumb during this time. To be frank, she had been pitifully dumb
to believe in someone like Elias!
From now on, she would keep a clear mind and never fall into Elias’ deceitful traps again.
Amanda hated herself the most! Every time Elias showed even a little kindness, she couldn’t help but give the scumbag a
chance in her heart. She was always thinking he might really change for
the better.
Sigh....
Reality had proven that she was just being delusional, to begin with!
A scumbag would always be a scumbag! Even if he faced all sorts of difficulties, he was still complete scumbag who was not
worthy of sympathy!
She didn’t know how long she had been in the parking lot until her car window was suddenly knocked upon. At that moment, she
snapped out of her messy thoughts.
Amanda rolled down the window and found that it was Simon.
She wiped away the tears on her face, not wanting Simon to see her in such a miserable state.
Simon opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, handing her a bottle of chilled mineral water to apply on her face.
“Apply this to your face; it’s not good for your child to see you like
this.
Amanda paused for a moment, then took the bottle and pressed it against her cheek, quickly reducing the swelling and relieving
the pain.
She had forgotten that Aiden was smart and could immediately notice the handprint on her face.

He would definitely ask incessant questions.
“I won’t ask what happened between you two. I know you don’t want to talk about it. However, I want to tell you that when I went
to your office just now, I saw him in a coma and blood was all around him. I’ve already had him sent to the hospital.”
Although Simon couldn’t stand everything Elias did, he still truthfully reported the situation.
A flicker of astonishment flashed in Amanda’s teary eyes, and then she spat out a harsh curse, “Serves him right!”
“Does it still hurt?” Simon looked at her swollen cheeks and asked softly.
“It’s fine...”
Amanda looked at Simon’s mature and composed demeanor, realizing how much stronger he was compared to the emotionally
volatile Elias.
