The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 546 You Put In Less Effort Than Amanda
Over half an hour later, it came as no surprise that Lawrence Group eventually won the bidding.
Elias wasn’t surprised either, so he wasn’t too angry and simply got up to leave the bidding. meeting.
Outside the venue, Yacob followed behind Elias and walked toward the parking lot.
Symeon’s voice came from behind them. “It seems like you’re not surprised by the result.”
Upon hearing this, Elias stopped and waited for Symeon to catch up before saying, “I just want to tell you that those
who do wrong will eventually face the consequences. What’s more, there’s nothing to be happy about things obtained
through such means.”
“Mr. Winters, you didn’t put in the same effort as your wife did. At least she came and talked to me once. Even though I
didn’t agree to anything, she has obviously put in more effort than you.”
When Amanda was mentioned, Elias’ face darkened slightly. “What did you say? Amanda came to find you?”
“Yes, Amanda came to find me. She wanted to steal my bidding documents, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find them.
Actually, I didn’t hide them very well, but she still doesn’t know me well enough, so she searched around and couldn’t
find them.” Symeon’s words were filled with a hint of regret.
Elias clenched his fist. He might have punched him right away if they weren’t in a public place.
“Yacob, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
They quickly left the place while Symeon stood there watching their backs and sneered. “Do you think it’s over? This is
just the beginning.”
At the Carter Residence.
Casey had been anxiously waiting at home for the interview results. But it had been two days, and still no results. Did I
get rejected?

Just as she poured a glass of water and was about to drink it, her younger brother, Peter,
bumped into her while running around the house. The glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
“What are you doing, Peter? The glass broke.”
She was about to squat down and clean up the mess when Peter stepped on it with his foot, causing blood to flow out. He
immediately burst into tears. “Ouch! My foot hurts! Mom, help
me! Sobs-”
Seeing this scene, Casey panicked and quickly carried Peter to the couch to check the sole of his foot, only to realize that the
little guy had been running around the house without wearing shoes.
When she saw several pieces of broken glass stuck in his foot, she knew she had to rush him to the hospital because there was
no way to deal with it at home.
Upon hearing her son’s cry, Eleanor quickly ran downstairs and panicked when she saw the bloodstains on the floor.
“What’s going on, huh? How did this happen? Why is there blood? There’s broken glass, too! Peter, let me see what’s
happened.”
Eleanor rushed over and pushed Casey aside. Then, she looked at her son’s bleeding foot, shouting in distress, “What’s going
on? How did you step on glass? Tell me!”
Before Casey could explain, Peter cried and accused, “It was Casey who broke the glass, and I stepped on it. Mom, my foot
hurts so much. Take me to the hospital quickly. I’m dying! There’s so much blood.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor was furious, and she turned around and slapped Casey, saying, “Casey, how could you be so cruel?
You’re a grownup, yet you are still picking on a child. Did you purposely break the glass to make him step on it? Don’t you know
how painful it is? How malicious of you. You’re just like your mother. No wonder your father wants nothing to do with her. Now I
finally understand why.”
Stunned by the slap, Casey thought that Peter was indeed following in his mother’s footsteps, full of lies.
The next second, Casey couldn’t hold back and slapped Eleanor in return, knocking the latter to the ground. Peter cried even
louder when he saw that.

The living room instantly became chaotic.
Philip, who was in a video conference upstairs, finally came downstairs and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. How did
it turn into such a chaotic mess in just a few moments?
“What’s happening here? Stop crying, all of you!”
Peter held his bleeding foot and cried, “Casey broke the glass and hurt my foot, and she also hit Mom. She’s a meanie! A
meanie!”
Hearing this, Philip was furious. “Casey! How did you turn into this? You even hurt your younger brother. Also, how could you hit
your elders?”
“You only believe what they say. Would you believe what I say? Your son was running around. the house and bumped into me,
causing the glass to fall and break on the floor. It’s his own. fault for stepping on it. What does it have to do with me?”
Casey had just finished speaking when Philip couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped her. “You’ve become just as unreasonable as
your mother!”
“Philip Carter! If you dare say another bad word about my mother, I’ll kill your son!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Eleanor and even Philip were shocked. When did hist gentle and weak daughter become
so terrifying?
Eleanor picked up Peter and ran away, saying, “I will take you to the hospital. Don’t cry.”
Philip looked at his daughter, who was now full of rage, and shouted, “Get out! From now on, you’ll no longer be my
daughter. If I keep you as my daughter, I fear that I won’t be able to live much longer. Get out of here!”
“You said it yourself.”
Tears welled up in Casey’s eyes. She wiped them away, turned around, and left the Carter Residence, not even
bothering to change out of her slippers or her casual clothes.
Philip watched her leaving figure and the shattered glass on the floor, feeling so angry that he couldn’t even stand
steady.

Late that night.
Casey wandered the streets aimlessly, but there was nowhere for her to seek shelter.
Unconsciously, she walked to the outskirts of the Galaxy Bay Villa area. But she didn’t have. an access card and
couldn’t enter.
She could only squat pitifully next to the green belt on the side. Unfortunately, the weather suddenly changed and
started to drizzle.
At that moment, she caught sight of a stray cat while she was desperately searching for a
place to seek shelter from the rain.
Soon after, a car came to a halt in front of her, and its headlights were aimed at her face, making it hard for her to open
her eyes.
The door swung open, and a man holding a black umbrella emerged, positioning himself in front of her to shield her
from the wind and rain.
Casey looked up and finally recognized the man standing before her-It was Symeon.
She was about to speak, but due to being soaked in the rain for too long and catching a cold, she immediately
collapsed onto the ground, losing consciousness.
Symeon gazed at the woman lying on the ground and muttered in frustration, “You fool, couldn’t you have made a
phone call?”
Disregarding her soaking body, he lifted her up and placed her in the car’s back seat, then slowly drove into the
residential area.
