Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 459 Is Everything Ready? 

“Why did you have dinner with Amanda… Why?”

Rosie looked incredulous. Could it be that Elias is starting to believe what Amanda had said? That can’t be possible.

Elias lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke before looking up at Rosie, who was in the reception area. “We had dinner together, that’s all. Why does there have to be a reason?”

“Was it just a coincidence?”

Rosie still held a glimmer of hope. Maybe they just happened to run into each other on the way. Perhaps Amanda insisted on having dinner together. That must be it.

Elias puffed another cloud of smoke that obscured his handsome face and slowly replied, “No, it wasn’t. I just had dinner with her.”

Rosie’s heart sank upon hearing that. How could this be?

She forced a smile and walked to the office desk while gazing at the smoker standing before her, seemingly indifferent to whether she liked the smell of smoke.

“Can you tell me why you had dinner with her?”

“I already said that there’s no reason. We just had dinner together.”

What kind of explanation was that? It is like he can’t be bothered to explain at all. He just believed Amanda without question?

The smile disappeared from Rosie’s face, and she stared into the man’s dark eyes. “So, you’ve decided to believe what Amanda said, even though you have the paternity test results in your hands?

How could a man bear with this kind of humiliation?”

Rosie had no idea what she did wrongly and couldn’t fathom what man could tolerate such humiliation.

Moreover, she found the paternity test in the Winters Estate, so how could it be fake? It must have been Elias himself who did the paternity test before the accident.

“I will personally investigate my past and the memories I’ve lost. What you all say will only serve as a reference for me.”

After Elias finished speaking, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray and turned his gaze to the computer screen. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I have work to do.”

Leave? Just like that? Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

What exactly did Amanda say? Rosie had waited for over an hour for Elias to enter the office after she arrived. They had only exchanged a few words, and now he wanted her to leave.

Rosie could feel that she was losing control over this man. And this was even before he had regained his memories. If he really did regain his memories, she probably wouldn’t even have a chance to see him again.

With that thought in mind, she suppressed her frustration and smiled, saying, “Eli, I’m all for it if

you want to investigate. But shouldn’t we go to the hospital for a re-examination tomorrow? You were able to be discharged because I promised the doctor that we would return for a re-examination. If you don’t go, they will blame me if anything happens.”

Hearing that, Elias glanced at her and replied, “I will go for a re-examination tomorrow.”

“I’ll accompany you. Going to the hospital will take a long time because we’ll have to wait in line. You know how crowded hospitals are every day, and we can’t jump lines as we might get reported. I’ve asked the doctor to take a day off specifically for your re-examination.” Rosie tried her best to persuade him so that he would fall into her trap.

Elias grew impatient and responded, “Fine.”

“Then, I’ll leave now and not disturb your work. I’ll come to the estate to meet you tomorrow.”

After saying that, Rosie turned and left the office, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Elias’ expression darkened as he looked at the closed office door.

At that moment, his assistant knocked on the door and entered the office before handing him a document. “Mr. Winters, this document requires your signature.”

After Elias signed his name, he looked up at his assistant and asked, “What’s the status of the investigation I asked you to do?”

“I’m still investigating, but I haven’t found any detailed information yet. I plan to report to you when I have concrete evidence,” the assistant said after picking up the document.

“Tell me whatever you’ve managed to find out.”

It was all because he was eager to know the truth about his relationship with Rosie.

The assistant began, “I investigated people related to Miss Momsey and found that she seemed to have disappeared for the past few years, and no one knows about her past. As for her brother, Taylor, it’s even harder to investigate. So, I looked into her college classmates, and coincidentally, one of them works in our company. Although they weren’t close in school, this person has heard rumors about what Rosie did back then.”

“Get to the point!” Elias frowned, no longer interested in listening to the nonsense.

The assistant skipped the details and said, “This person said there were rumors that Rosie. was obsessed with pursuing a man from a wealthy family who never paid attention to her. Eventually, Rosie became mentally unstable and was admitted to a mental institution for many years. She doesn’t know what happened after that.”

Elias looked incredulous after hearing this.

She was admitted to a mental institution?

Was I listening to the brainwashing of a person with a mental health condition? And could it be that the man Rosie had been obsessively pursuing all those years was me?

Elias felt a strange sense of disgust the more he thought about it.

The next morning, after Elias got up, he changed his clothes and finished breakfast, and as he was about to leave, the butler came to report, “Mr. Winters, Miss Momsey is here. She said. you had already arranged to go see the doctor today.”

“Let her in and prepare the car,” Elias replied.

“Yes, sir.”

After the butler left, Elias picked up a glass of milk and took a few sips before wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Even though Rosic had lied, she was the first person he saw when he woke up from the accident. The hospital staff also confirmed that she had stayed by his bedside for a long time.

He didn’t need to be ruthless toward this woman. He would go for another check-up today and wouldn’t give Rosie another chance to get close to him after this..

Because he wasn’t interested in her, to begin with, he was conflicted when Rosie claimed to be his woman, but now he felt relieved.

“Eli, are you ready? We should go now,” Rosie said with a smile as soon as she saw Elias. coming out of the dining room.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

As Rosie followed behind Elias, her heart ached as she looked at his aloof figure. She had stayed by his bedside for so long, thinking she was close to moving him, but then Amanda. returned and ruined everything.

She had no choice but to take action, although it wasn’t what she wanted.

Rosie watched as Elias walked toward the car and then took out her phone to send a text message, Is everything ready?”

Soon, she received a reply, ‘Ok!”

Upon seeing that, a smile appeared on her lips, and she got into the car.
