Chapter 258 I Am the Allegra Family’s Daughter

Selina had no choice but to make her way to Amanda’s room. She was going to knock but noticed the door was not locked, so she headed inside.

In the meantime, Amanda had washed up and was coming out of her closet after changing her clothes. “Hey, why did you come inside? Is there a problem outside? Who is it?”

Selina approached Amanda and whispered, “I don’t know, but they seem strange. An entire family came looking for you. At first, I thought they were here to ask you to represent them as their lawyer, but they denied it and asked that I come to get you.”

That made Amanda frown as she wondered who it could be and why the large lineup. Since they weren’t here to ask her to be their lawyer, then why were they here? Could it be her enemies? After all, she had made quite a lot of enemies while working in this line of work. At that thought, she couldn’t help but feel wary as she contemplated on whether to call for security.

Then, Selina added, “The middle-aged man said his name is Jack Allegra and that you know him.”

Jack Allegra? Amanda instantly felt relieved because it was not her enemy. However, why did the Allegra Family come looking for her at her home this early in the morning? Wasn’t yesterday Stephanie and Elias” engagement ceremony? Why were they gathered at her home so early today?

Amanda then left her bedroom to see what the old fox wanted.

Inside the living room.

The entire Allegra Family was sitting on the couch, waiting for Amanda to come out. Besides Stephanie, everyone else was looking forward to it.

In the meantime, Stephanie was unsure how she would face Amanda and was even unwilling to accept that Amanda was her sister.

“Mr. Allegra, why did you bring your entire family to my home so early in the morning? Did here to accuse me of something?”

you come

Amanda crossed her arms and put on an overbearing expression. No matter what unreasonable request. that family might ask of her, she would never give in.

Edith stared at Amanda’s face while trying her best to recall her eldest daughter’s face when she was young. When the two faces gradually overlapped, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

At the same time, Stephanie was also staring at Amanda’s face. That was because she was trying to figure out why she did not make the connection that Amanda was Amelia when she had seen Amanda several times before.

Jack was the first to react and reprimanded, “That’s not how a lady should speak! Watch your manners!”

Hearing that, Amanda could not hold back her laughter. Had Jack been a company president for too long and thought everyone should revolve around him? How could he reprimand her like he was her elder?

Then, Amanda clicked her tongue and sneered. “I understand now. You find me living here a nuisance, right? After all, Elias bought this place with his money. Here I am, living in the house your to-be son-in- law bought, and I even had his child. Does that make your family feel uncomfortable? But there’s nothing I can do about it because this is a fact.”

She knew Jack was here for trouble. They must be here to chase her out of this house and get rid of all the dangerous obstacles hindering Stephanie from having a happy married life.

At that moment, Edith finally broke down and sobbed, “Amelia, you shouldn’t talk to your father like that. We’re ”

Confused, Amanda looked flabbergasted. What’s this? Did they come to the wrong house, or have they gone insane? Is this some sort of new play?

“Wait, wait, wait… What are you talking about? Who’s Amelia? What father? Mrs. Allegra, are you still dreaming? My name is Amanda Bailey, not Amelia. Also, my father is not the high and mighty Mr. Allegra. My father is a gambler who is always in debt and has abandoned his wife and children.”

Hearing that, Jack frowned even deeper. So, this was how her daughter had been living all these years? A father who was a gambler and abandoned his wife and children? How good could such a life be?

Edith sobbed even harder after listening to that.

Meanwhile, Amanda watched the scene before her and felt skeptical as she wondered what this family was up to. “Mr. Allegra, can’t you be more frank about why you’re here? What’s with the act? Do you find this amusing?”

Just as Jack was about to speak, Stephanie beat him to it. “I didn’t get engaged to Elias, and you are the missing eldest daughter of the Allegra Family. So, you are my sister, and I can’t get engaged to Elias. Do you understand now?”

Amanda was silent for a moment as the amount of information thrown at her was so huge that she could not process them all at once. What do they mean by I am the missing eldest daughter of the Allegra Family?

After staring at the bunch for a long time without knowing how to react, Amanda pointed at herself as her eyes widened in shock. “Are you saying that we are biological sisters? Am I the Allegra Family’s daughter as well?”

Even though Stephanie was reluctant to admit that, she still nodded. “Yes, that’s right. That’s the truth. So. Elias and I can’t get engaged.”

Whenever Stephanie thought about how she could not get engaged to Elias, she could not help but feel displeased. But she did not know what she was displeased about. She did not like Elias, so why did she feel disappointed when she could not get engaged to him? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

At that moment, Aiden rubbed his eyes and came out of his room in cute pajamas while whining. “Mommy, I’m hungry…

When he arrived before Amanda, he finally realized the bunch of strangers in the living room, but he immediately spotted Stephanie sitting on the far side.

Aiden immediately screamed, “Ahhh! It’s the nasty, ugly woman! Mommy, chase her away! I don’t want her in our house!”

The kid’s scream angered Stephanie. “Who are you calling ugly, huh? Who’s ugly? You’re looking to be taught a lesson, brat!”

Edith stopped her. “Why are you arguing with a child? What’s more, he’s your nephew.”

In the meantime, Amanda took Aiden into her embrace and turned to Stephanie. “I don’t need you to lecture my son.”

However, Jack angrily slammed his hand on the table. “Look at how you brought up your son. Why aren’t you letting Stephanie criticize him? How can you let your son call someone ugly? What will

become of him in the future?”

Then, Jack finally looked at the kid’s appearance and concluded that Aiden was indeed Elias’ child. They looked almost identical.

“Do you think that you’re my parents just because of a few words you said? You have no right to tell me what to do! I’ll have to ask you to leave this instant, or else I’ll call for security.” Amanda’s mind was in a mess, and she needed time to rearrange her thoughts.

“You! How could you speak to your father this way?” Jack was so angry that he shot up from his seat.

At that moment, Amanda’s phone began ringing, which was quite inappropriate in such a situation.

At first, Amanda had no intention of picking up, but when she saw it was from Elias, she quickly answered the call. “Elias, get your *ss up here now and take your father-in-law away! They’re driving me crazy! I can’t stand them anymore!”

When Elias heard that, he said nothing else but, “I’m downstairs right now. Will be there in a minute.”

After hanging up, Amanda sighed in relief. At the very least, Elias would get rid of these people because she was his ex-wife and had his child.
