Chapter 553 Symeon and Dulcie Came

“Aren’t you two standing together with enough evidence? Moreover, the more I look at Peter, the more he resembles this man-”

Before Casey could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Eleanor. “You better stop all this nonsense, or else you’ll be creating misunderstandings between many people. Do you want to ruin this family before you are satisfied? Why are you so malicious? You are just like your mother, unwilling to see the Carter Family prosper!”

“I’m curious, Eleanor. On what basis do you have the audacity to be so self-righteous? I have caught you twice, and you still cunningly deny knowing this man. How can there be such a coincidence? Do you take me for a fool? Let me tell you! This is not over. I will definitely get to the bottom of it!”

After speaking, she turned around abruptly and left, not wanting to look at this shameless couple.

Eleanor watched her leave and began to feel anxious.

If Philip found out about this, she and Peter would be finished.

The man beside her looked at her panicked expression and arrogantly remarked, “What is there to be afraid of? If we get discovered, I-will bring you and Peter away. After all these years, we have made a lot of money from the Carters. There’s enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives.”

“You are short-sighted. What can we do with that money? Even if we run away, we definitely can’t continu living in Cludan because Philip won’t let us off the hook. But if we settle abroad, that money won’t be enough for us to live for the rest of our lives.”

Upon hearing that, the man also started to worry. “Then, what should we do? Philip’s daughter has already discovered us and won’t keep it a secret from her father. They are father and daughter, after

all.”

“Don’t worry. I will figure something out. I have to take more money from Philip before leaving, or else I won’t be satisfied.” Eleanor’s eyes rolled around, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

Instead of waiting for Casey to go to Philip and expose her, it would be better to take the initiative and worsen their father-daughter relationship to the extreme.

That way, Philip won’t believe Casey, no matter what she might say.

In the afternoon, Casey packed her things and went home.

Since it was her first day of work, she hadn’t adapted to the new environment yet but would gradually. learn to adapt. She first went to the supermarket to buy some fresh vegetables and then planned to go home and cook for herself.

Just as she walked out of the community, she saw a very eye-catching sports car with a cute little girl on the hood and a handsome, tall man beside her.

It was Symeon and Dulcie.

Casey was startled because she didn’t expect the father-and-daughter duo to come looking for her.

In the meantime, Dulcie sat on the hood with her little feet swinging back and forth. She casually turned her head and saw Casey’s figure and excitedly screamed, “Miss Casey! Over here! I’m here!”

The little one reached out her hands toward the man, wanting to get off the hood. Therefore. Symeon could only pick her up and put her on the ground.

Then, like a little butterfly spreading its wings, Dulcie ran toward Casey with open arms.

Seeing this scene, Casey couldn’t help but smile. The child was too adorable and worth seeing even after a busy day.

The tall figure of the man behind slowly approached as well.

“You came to find me. Have you eaten yet?” Casey asked.

“No, I haven’t. I told Daddy that I wanted to come find you, and you promised me last night that you would cook delicious food for me. You’re not lying to me, right?” The little girl clung to her arm, acting spoiled.

Perhaps this was the magic between being a biologically related mother and daughter. Although they had just met, they quickly became familiar with each other.

Symeon stood in front of them, expressionless. “Dulcie insisted on coming to find you, and I couldn’t do

later.” anything about it. Since you promised her, then cook for her. I’ll come pick her up

After saying that, the man turned around and was about to leave.

But Dulcie’s little hand grabbed onto his clothes. “Daddy, don’t go. Please, don’t go!”

Symeon stopped in his tracks, turned around, and touched his daughter’s head. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you want to see her? Let her play with you for a while, and I will come pick you up at night, okay?”

“No! I want you to have dinner with me. Miss Casey can cook dinner for us. Don’t go out to drink with them. It’s not good for your health.”

Symeon’s heart melted as soon as she said that, but he also felt a bit helpless. He chuckled lightly. “Alright, I’ll stay and accompany you.”

After all, he only had this one precious daughter, so he could only spoil her.

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it and hung up the call.

He had just arrived in Cludan and wanted to expand his market in Cludan, so he had to adapt to the local customs and constantly attend banquets and drinking parties. But since Dulcie had expressed her opinion. he intended to make a change.

Casey couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him giving in to his daughter.

Back at Casey’s rented house.

Dulcie looked around happily while Symeon followed behind the little girl with a disdainful look on his face. He couldn’t help but comment, “The bathroom is too small, and the kitchen is too small. It’s just a one-bedroom apartment. Everything’s too small.”

In short, this whole house was too small for Symeon and made him feel suffocated.

Casey snorted lightly. “It’s too small for someone like you who is used to living in a villa, but it’s enough.

for me. Besides, it’s very close to my workplace. That’s why I rented it. Also, the rent is quite expensive. It costs nearly five thousand a month.”

“Is that expensive?” Symeon looked puzzled.

Indeed, that amount was nothing for this big shot.

But with her current situation, it was expensive for her. After all, she was still living off her pocket money back in the Carter Family and hadn’t even earned her first salary in life. Therefore, of course, she would think it was expensive.

Symeon returned to the living room and sat on the crowded couch. “Which company are you working for?”

After hesitating for a moment, she replied, “Harling Corporation.”

If she mentioned Winters Enterprise, Symeon would definitely have doubts, so she couldn’t say it.

The man refrained from asking further questions and casually grabbed the remote control to switch on the TV, only to discover nothing worth watching.

Meanwhile, Dulcie continued to chatter and converse with him, appearing quite content.. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Dulcie, why don’t you stay here and play with your daddy while I cook in the kitchen? Are you hungry?”

“Hmm… But I want to help you!”

“No need. You’re so kind, but I can manage. I’ll be quick, so you stay here and enjoy some cartoons with your daddy for a while.” After uttering those words, Casey made her way toward the kitchen.

In the meantime, Symeon, seated on the couch, seemed uninclined to assist. After all, he had been spoiled since childhood and had rarely set foot in the kitchen.
