The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 351 Set Him Up

Yacob, with a serious expression, replied, "They couldn't get anything useful from anyone other than a server. He said that a man claiming to be Winters requested breakfast to be sent to room 5022 and even gave him a good tip."

Winters? Elias frowned. "Did you not ask what the man in question looked like?"

"Of course I did. But the server said he received so many guests every day that he couldn't remember his appearance. He only recalled that the man tipped him generously and requested the breakfast to be delivered to a young lady in 5022"

Elias fell silent. It seemed that someone was deliberately framing him, going to such extreme lengths.

He searched in his mind for a while but couldn't think of any recent enemies who would do such a thing. and he couldn't understand why they chose Stephanie either. Could it be that the person mistook Stephanie for his soon-to-be fiancée and chose to target her? Or he couldn't think of any other valid.

reason.

"Bring that server over. I want to question him myself."

"Yes, sir." Yacob obliged.

Meanwhile, Elias fell into deep thought as he gazed at the number plate 5022. Who could be behind this? He had too many enemies, but who would be bored enough to pull off something like this? He couldn't think of anyone for the time being.

Moments later, Yacob returned hastily, wearing a troubled expression. "Mr. Winters, the waiter has disappeared. It's strange; he was here just an hour ago when I questioned him, but now he's nowhere to be

found."

Elias became furious instantly. "Idiot, don't you understand? They are setting me up, and now they've eliminated the only eyewitness."

Freshly out of the Allegra Villa, Crispin hurriedly arrived at the Cloudview Hotel only to find the server who delivered the food was being questioned by Yacob.

He panicked, knowing his elaborate plan would be completely exposed if the server revealed anything. By then, he would lose everything, unable to marry Stephanie, let alone be the Allegras' son-in-law, and his long-awaited entry into high society would be gone.

This was the closest he had ever been to success. He couldn't afford to lose.

Once Yacob left, Crispin immediately pulled the waiter into a stairwell-deserted and echoing, creating a creepy atmosphere.

The server recognized him, and after some hesitation, he exclaimed, "It's you! That gentleman was just asking about you, Mr. Winters. You-"

"Shh... Pipe down." Crispin covered the server's mouth and, after making sure no one was outside. "Take this and leave. It contains all my savings over the years, a total of 70 thousand. It should be enough for you to live comfortably for several years. My only requirement is that you leave this place and stop working here."

The server was stupefied, having trouble believing such a fortune would actually strike him.

"Why are you doing this, Mr. Winters? I can't take this. Is this some kind of trap?"

The server, having worked in this profession for a long time, knew those who visited this very hotel were either rich or influential, or both. The last thing he wanted was to get involved in some big shot's business.

Seeing how much of a coward the server was being, Crispin snapped, "Just take it. Don't ask any questions. unless you want to die a terrible death. With this money, you can live comfortably for several years and find another job. If you don't take it and stay here, you'll have nowhere to hide when the person who just questioned you returns. Don't say I didn't warn you."

After much consideration, the server finally decided to take the bank card. He was just a lowly service staff and didn't want to get involved in the world of these influential people. He knew he would end up in a terrible situation if he did.

After watching the server leave with the money, Crispin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Keeping the server around was indeed a mistake. He'd be in serious trouble if Elias managed to find anything. He'd be as good as dead if the CEO realized he had used Elias' name to sleep with Stephanie! Now, the pressing matter was to marry Stephanie as soon as possible. He had to do it before Elias. uncovered the truth, or all his efforts would be in vain.

It had become a race between him and Elias-whichever one acted faster would be the winner.

The evening arrived, and Crispin returned to the Allegra Villa at dinner time. Because of Jack's attitude. toward the young man, everyone in the house now regarded him as the son-in-law.. Stephanie, too, had completely given in as well. Now, aside from marrying Crispin, she didn't seem to have any better options.

While everyone was enjoying dinner, the butler approached and reported, "Crispin in here, sir."

"Set an extra place setting; let him join us," Jack said, and the butler obliged, nodding and leaving-

Shortly after, Crispin entered the dining room, greeted everyone, and sat beside Stephanie while a maid. added a place setting for him.

"Thank you so much for coming every day to check in on Stephanie, Crispin," Jack said.

"Don't mention it. I'm more than willing to do it," said Crispin with a modest smile. "I worry Stephanie might take things too hard if she's alone, so I thought some company might help. Also, Mr. Allegra, could we move our wedding forward? I fear someone with malicious intentions might exploit this situation."

"I dare them to try! No one but you guys know about this!" Stephanie hit the roof at the mention of that night. She felt incredibly insulted when the man who screwed her, Elias, ended up denying it.

At that, Crispin held her hand and spoke gently. "But walls have ears, not to mention when you guys hire many domestic workers. I worry your reputation might tarnish if someone leaks it. Let's get married. quickly. If this matter does get out, as long as I'm not bothered by it, no one will dare say anything about you."

Tik, tsk. Even Amanda was beginning to be impressed by Crispin. Coyote sure has a silver tongue. Even Jack's
