Test
Ping!
A notification sounded after that. Jack had shared Stephanie’s location with Elias, and the latter
chucked his phone to the front passenger seat after taking an inpatient gander.
Then, he turned the car around, preparing to look for Stephanie.
He genuinely didn’t want to bother himself with such trivial matters. However, to regain the shares that
were once his grandfather’s, he had to suck it up.
Half an hour later, Elias arrived at a rundown rental house in a slum after following the location Jack
gave,
He parked his Aston Martin nearby, attracting the attention of many people.
Seeing such a world-class luxury car in a place like this was unimaginable, and the dirty streets
seemed to taint its noble temperament.
The people around even gave Elias strange looks when he stepped out of his car. They wondered why
a mysterious big shot would appear in such a place, for he didn’t fit in at all.
Whispers filled the air…..
“I’ll be a monkey’s uncle if one of us knows a big shot like him. That car looks super expensive…”
“If I’m not mistaken, that car is worth about a billion. It’s even a limited edition worldwide make. What’s
going on? What is a super rich doing in our slum?”
“Tell me about it. Do you think he has a crush on a girl here?”
“What age do you think we live in? How can you still believe in those fairy tales? Real princes won’t fall
for dirty wenches but real princesses.”
Elias ignored the gossip and walked toward the dark alley.
As soon as he entered the narrow alley, a foul smell from the sewer hit him, and he instinctively
covered his nose, frowning in displeasure.
It was the first time Elias, who had been privileged his whole life, had ever come to a place like this.
Following the house numbers one after another, he finally found number 343, which was where the
slumdog lived according to Jack.
He had to hand it to Stephanie for being able to tolerate such living conditions; even he was beginning
to believe this was true love.
The rusty door had no doorbell, so Elias knocked on it twice, but there was no response from the
inside.
Who knew what was happening behind that door…
However, Elias refused to stay for even a second. He wanted to grab Stephanie and return her to her
father
With that, he knocked on the door again, and this time, a man’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”
Elias didn’t answer. Instead, he continued knocking on the door.
Then, he heard hurried footsteps from inside, and the door opened. It was a seemingly handsome
young man dressed in a short-sleeved t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops, looking very down-to-earth.
“Who are you?” he asked.
Elias looked at the young man before him with nothing but disdain. Is this the so-called ‘Crisp’
Stephanie keeps talking about? Huh… He looks so calculating. No wonder Jack, that old for, adamantly
opposes their relationship. If Stephanie’s my daughter, I wouldn’t approve of him either!
“Hey, who are you? I’m asking you a question here. How do you know I’m living here? Who are you
looking for? Crispin asked with a puzzled expression.
However, Elias didn’t waste time talking to him but instead walked straight into the house.
As he entered the house, disgust became more apparent on his face. He couldn’t believe someone
could live in a two-hundred-square-foot house!
There was a tiny bathroom that he couldn’t even fit into, a hardboard bed, and mosquitoes buzzing
everywhere. He had only been standing there for a minute, but he felt several mosquitoes whizzing
past
his cars.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Stephanie emerged while wearing a seductive nightgown
and sexy makeup.
Is she… seriously going to offer herself.tonight?
He suddenly remembered what Jack had told him on the phone, that Stephanie planned to elope and
offer herself tonight.
Stephanie stood staring at him for a few seconds in stupefaction, then screamed, “Ah, Elias, you sicko!”
She quickly covered her upper body with both arms and rushed to the bed, pulling up the blanket to
cover herself.
Crispin finally came around and remembered Elias had barged in. He approached the latter, grabbing
his arm while threatening. “Who do you think you are, breaking into my house? Get out!”
Lo and behold, Crispin dropped to the ground after Elias simply flung his arm.
Elias couldn’t be bothered with this couple. He covered his nose and looked at Stephanie, who was
huddled in the bed. “Are you offering yourself? I’ll give you half an hour, then. But looking at how weak
he is, half an hour is already generous. Go home with me after you’re done. Your father insists that I
take you home. Hurry up, time waits for no one.”
With that, Elias turned to leave.
Half an hour?! That was an absolute insult. Any man would find it unbearable.
Crispin clambered up from the floor and grabbed Elias by the collar. “What did you say?! Watch your
mouth!”
Has disdamfully pushed Crispin’s hand away and spoke coldly. “Take your dirty hands off me. I’m
already. being generous by giving you half an hour. A guy your condition will only last ten minutes at
most. Hurry up. I’m not that idle.” With that, he turned to the door.
On the other hand, Stephanie’s face was flushed, feeling furious. She threw the blanket covering her
aside. and shouted angrily at the man’s back, “Elias Winters, you madman! Get lost! Who gave you the
right to control me?! Just because my father asked you to take me home doesn’t mean that you
actually have to listen to him! Why are you being so obedient to him anyway?”
The PRESIDENT sneered and replied without turning his head around, saying, “I naturally have my
reasons.
Otherwise, why would he behave like Jack’s lapdog?!
“Stephanie Allegra, I’m giving you only half an hour. I be waiting outside. If you don’t come out by then,
don’t blame me for being impolite. Also, forget about running away or cloping. Don’t you know your
father’s methods? Do you think you can escape from his grasp? How naive.”
With that, Elias Winters left the janky rental house without looking back. He didn’t want to stay for even
a second longer.
Crispin looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had just happened. He was still immersed
in the joy of attaching himself to a wealthy woman. If I can successfully marry Stephanie, I can inherit
the Allegra Family’s billions of assets! Then again, who was that man who barged in? He felt a
tremendous sense of crisis from the stranger.
“Who was that, Stephanie? Do you know him? Did your father send him to take you home?”
Seeing the suspicious look on Crispin’s face, Stephanie quickly fabricated a lie, saying, “He… our
family’s bodyguard. My dad found out about our plan to elope, and he sent him to bring me back.”
Elope? You’ve got to be kidding me!
Crispin was still dreaming about marrying into the Allegra Family as their son-in-law!
