Chapter 115 Do You Believe…

ruined her face this time…”

Although it was true that Grace had lied on the night of the celebration party, it did appear that Amanda was the one who ruined Grace’s face.

Meanwhile, Amanda stared at him in perplexity. When did she ruin Grace’s face! She couldn’t understand how a few slaps would ruin her face. Surely her slaps weren’t that heavy?

“If you feel bad for your little girlfriend, just say it to my face! I only slapped her a few times, so how did I ruin her face? Is her face made of gold? I even got a slap from you, but is my face ruined?”

She couldn’t stand how Elias would always firmly protect Grace no matter the situation and even believe her words without a single doubt.

Elias fell silent for a moment before he said, “Didn’t you hurt her with a knife? She has long wounds on her face and arms from a kitchen knife, and her face is ruined. She might sue you and make this incident public because of that.”

Amanda’s eyes widened in shock. “Since when did I harm Grace with a knife? Do you think I won’t know how bad it is to use a knife when I’m a lawyer?”

He furrowed his brows slightly. After Grace lied on the night of the celebration party, he no longer believed her as much as he used to. However, the surveillance footage clearly showed that not long after Amanda left Grace’s house, she walked out with a face covered in blood. What other explanation was there?

Elias slowly explained, “But the cameras outside Grace’s house showed that not long after you left, she walked out with a face full of blood… Besides, the footage shows that you’ve already laid your hands

on her before going inside. If she posts this video online, it’ll be bad for you. Moreover, her status as a celebrity could very well ruin your reputation and prevent you from making a living in the country.

Amanda couldn’t help but laugh, her voice filled with mockery.

She couldn’t believe that Grace would pull off such a cruel and dramatic feat, willingly ruining her face just so that she could frame her. How could a woman as vicious as her exist? Not only was she hard on others, but she refused to let herself off easy as well.

She looked at the man in front of her and asked, “Then, do you believe her or me?”

Elias pursed his lips tightly and stared at her, but he did not reply. Men were rational beings, and they were unable to form their judgment just by relying on their intuition. Hence, he could only speak according to the evidence, and now the footage showed that there was a bigger possibility that Amanda had been the one to hurt Grace. However…

At the sight of seeing him struggle to make a decision, Amanda felt her heart turn cold. Although they had not spent much time with each other, did he have no idea what kind of person she was? Did he genuinely think that she was capable of committing such a vile act?

“All right, enough of this. It seems that you still believe in Grace more, and you think that I ruined her face.”

“Amanda!” Elias reached out and grabbed her thin wrist with a solemn expression. “No matter whether you did it or not, I will cover for you. I won’t let her ruin your life.”

At that, Amanda froze in shock for a moment. What on earth was he saying? Wasn’t he simply implying that she was the one who ruined Grace’s face? Where did he get the nerve to think that way?

“Do you think I’ll be touched by that? I don’t need you to cover for me because I believe that the truth will always prevail. Why should I be scared of something I haven’t done?”

Besides, she could look for evidence to prove that she was innocent instead of using the Winters Family’s influence to bury this incident from the public eye.

Just as Amanda was about to leave, he forcefully grabbed her hand. “I didn’t mean it like that. I just don’t want to see you…”

“Stop talking. I can handle my own matters. I don’t need you to pretend to be a saint!” Amanda shook his hand off viciously and turned around to leave the office.

As soon as she stepped out of his office, Elias was just about to stand up and chase after her when his phone rang. When he picked up, a voice on the other end reported, “Mr. Winters, Grace has made her move. She’s posted pictures of her in the hospital and even the surveillance footage, and people are already talking about it now.”

“Cover it up! Cover it all up!”

Elias returned to his desk. He had been staying back in the office just for this moment-he knew that Grace would not give up so easily.

Meanwhile, Grace watched as the candid photos of her receiving treatment in the hospital were deleted instantaneously, and all of the rumors they had prepared were silenced. She angrily threw her phone on the ground.

She knew that this was Elias’ doing. If she wasn’t able to drive Amanda completely out of the country, wouldn’t her face have been ruined for nothing? How could she let Amanda off so easily after paying such a hefty price? She would never allow it! This time, she swore to chase Amanda out of the country, or she would never have a chance to be with Elias.

At that thought, she picked up her phone and made a call, roaring furiously, “Don’t stop! Keep posting, and don’t stop even if they delete the posts! Post it on that forum! That’s where news spreads the fastest on the Internet!”

Chapter 116 You’re Just Jealous That Grace Is Prettier Than You

The next day, Amanda woke up early in the morning before washing up and getting dressed. Not even having time for breakfast, she hurried downstairs and was ready to go to the law firm.

At the sight of Selina and Aiden eating breakfast downstairs, she put on her shoes while saying, “I’m gonna skip breakfast, so go ahead and eat without me. By the way, Selina, stay home and don’t go out. If your husband comes to you again, just call the police and then call me!” Although she had a lot on her plate these days, she had to care about Selina’s domestic violence situation. which was also pretty important.

Selina was looking at her phone in the dining room. Then, she stood up and walked up to Amanda. “Amanda, is that you in this video?”

“Hmm? What is it?” Amanda looked puzzled. Totally unaware of what was happening, she took Selina’s phone and saw a piece of security footage, which was none other than the security footage of her going to Grace’s place that night. It captured her raising her hand as soon as she entered the house, and shortly after she had left, Grace came out with a bloodied face.

It went without saying that this security footage caused a public uproar. Everyone was led to believe that Amanda had stormed into Grace’s house like a shrew and disfigured her face before leaving.

In an instant, Amanda’s eyes widened in astonishment. She tapped on the comment section below the video, and all the comments were generally cursing her. One of them read, ‘Rumor has it that this woman is the new lover of the Winters Enterprise’s young boss. Look at this! She wasn’t even afraid to disfigure an actress right away. She really thinks she can do whatever she wants with Elias Winters covering her back!”

Another read, This video shows how this woman disfigured Grace Murphy’s face in such a short time. How cruel!

The third comment read, Just what the heck is wrong with Elias Winters’ taste in women? Why would he fall for such a shrew instead of Grace Murphy? Grace is an actress, after all. Are actresses so worthless nowadays?”

Another comment read, ‘Here’s a little tidbit: this new lover is a lawyer. She has deliberately violated the law! Grace Murphy, please go ahead and sue her so that she goes to jail!

Amanda’s hand trembled while holding the phone as she read the comments. Why would things turn out like this in the eyes of these netizens? She looked at Grace’s bloodied face in the footage. She honestly never expected this woman to be so ruthless as to actually hurt herself!

“Mommy, what are you looking at?” Having eaten half of his breakfast, Aiden jumped out of his chair and walked up to her, wanting to snatch the phone to take a look.

Only then did Amanda come to her senses and hand the phone back to Selina. “Just finish your breakfast before going to kindergarten. I’ve got work to do, so I’m going to work now,” she replied. Then, she took Selina aside, saying, “Don’t let the kid see these things. I can’t explain it to you
