The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 548 You’ve Been Accepted
“Watch how you speak to us. Even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t take it out on us. It’s your daughter who made you angry. What
does it have to do with us?” Eleanor complained unhappily.
Philip was already annoyed, and her complaints only made it worse. Ever since he married Eleanor, there hasn’t been a moment
of peace in their home.
Sometimes, he truly envied his friends’ harmonious families.
“It’s all your fault. You don’t know how to manage a family. I don’t understand how my friends’ families. can be so harmonious.
Even though they’re blended families too, their wives can get along so well with their husband’s children. But why can’t you do it?
You’ve been in the Carter Family for so many years, but you still can’t handle Casey. You’ve even turned us against each other.”
Philip had a lot of pent-up anger, and Eleanor happened to come over, so he vented it all out on her.
Eleanor’s temper exploded instantly, and she pointed at her son’s foot wrapped in gauze. “Hey! Don’t you have any sense of
reason? It’s your daughter who intentionally injured my son’s foot. She wants to cripple my son so that she can inherit all of your
assets, yet you still say I don’t know how to manage a family. She’s an ungrateful child. How do you expect me to be good to
her?”
Eleanor wanted to drive Casey out of the house, and this was a rare opportunity she couldn’t miss. She absolutely couldn’t let
this father and daughter reconcile.
“Why are you shouting? Do you even understand how inheritance works? You don’t understand anything. yet you blabber all day
long. Inheriting the family fortune has nothing to do with being disabled or not. Even if Peter is disabled, he can still inherit my
assets. Casey has no reason to do such things!”
“Then why can’t your daughter be more accepting and acknowledge that you have a biological son? You should know she
refused to acknowledge my son as her brother while I was pregnant!”
Philip furrowed his brows and sighed. “Alright, stop talking. She hasn’t come back yet. It seems like she’s furious and didn’t bring
her bank card, money, or ID. I don’t even know where she spent the night.”
“Your daughter is already in her twenties. Why are you so worried? Doesn’t she have classmates and friends?” Eleanor’s tone
was full of disdain.

After hearing that, Philip became more and more worried. He wanted to go out and take a look, worried he might receive bad
news later and regret waiting this long.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, Peter came over and hugged his leg. “Dad, stay with me. My foot hurts so much, and I
don’t want Casey to come back. She always bullies me.”
“Peter Carter, that’s enough! She’s your sister. Do you think I don’t know how you injured your foot? You always like to run
around the house without wearing shoes. Who can you blame after stepping on broken glass? This is all your sister’s fault, but
aren’t you also responsible?” Philip usually doted on his son, but no matter how much he doted on him, he still had to teach him
the right principles.
“Philip, that’s enough. There’s a limit to how biased you can be. My son’s foot is injured, but you’re scolding him.”
Eleanor stepped forward and hugged her son.
However, Philip couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. “I’m going out to look for her. If something happens to her, I’ll regret it for
the rest of my life.”

Eleanor held him back. “Where are you going to look? Imperia is huge. How are you going to find her? If she doesn’t want to be
found, you won’t be able to find her.”
“What should we do then? Just sit here and wait for news of her death?”
“Don’t worry. She’ll come back sooner or later. With no money and ID card, she can’t do anything”
“But what if she doesn’t come back? Casey is heartbroken, and I told her to leave. If I don’t go and apologize, will she even
swallow her pride and submit?” Philip regretted the harsh words he said yesterday.
Still trying to persuade him to stay, Eleanor said, “If she were that determined, she would have left this house long ago. She will
come back. Just wait and see.”
Galaxy Bay.
Casey slept again the whole day and clearly felt much better that evening.
During dinner, Symeon was not at home either, so it was just her, Dulcie, and the nanny eating together.

Little girls ate delicately. As she watched Dulcie eat, she couldn’t help but remember her own childhood when her mother was
still around. She would always be by her mother’s side, letting her mother feed her.
Tears couldn’t help but flow down her cheeks as she thought about it.
Dulcie looked at her crying and became a little flustered. “Miss Casey, why are you crying? Is the food not good, or are you too
hungry?”
“No, I just miss my mom.”
Speaking of missing her mom, Dulcie pouted and lowered her head. “I miss my mom too, but Daddy says. she’s not my mom.
She’s a bad woman.
“Dulcie, was your previous mom good to you?”
She was really curious about where Symeon found Dulcie. According to Dulcie, she didn’t grow up Symeon and only recently
returned to his side.

Dulcie whispered, “Yes, my mom and grandma were very good to me, but after Daddy found me, my mom didn’t want me
anymore, and neither did my grandma. They abandoned me and gave me to Dad. I don’t know why.”
It was so sad to hear Dulcie say that...
Such a young child being tossed around like an object and without a stable home.
Casey gently touched Dulcie’s head. “Dulcie, no one will abandon you anymore, okay?”
“Really? Daddy also told me the same thing. Although he can be strict, he is still good to me.”
Dulcie could feel it, too. Although Symeon wasn’t always gentle, he took care of her in every way and would do many things for
her, like telling stories and taking her to the mall.
“Well, you should believe your daddy’s words. He will definitely not abandon you. Eat your meal now. It won’t taste good when it
gets cold.”

Dukin nodded obediently and continued to eat her meal.
Just then, Casey’s phone began to ring. She glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a few
seconds, she decided to answer the call.
To her surprise, a soft and gentle female voice spoke from the other end. “Miss Carter, this is the Human Resources Department
