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 ce.
“Yacob, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
They quickly left the ce 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 ss of water and was about to drink it, her younger brother, Peter,
bumped into her while running around the house. The ss in her hand fell to the ground and
shattered into pieces.
“What are you doing, Peter? The ss 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 ss 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 ss, 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 ss? Tell me!”
Before Casey could exin, Peter cried and used, “It was Casey who broke the ss, 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 pped 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 ss 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 p, Casey thought that Peter was indeed following in his mother’s footsteps, full of
lies.
The next second, Casey couldn’t hold back and pped Eleanor in return, knocking thetter 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 ss 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 ss 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 pped her. “You’ve
be 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 be 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 ss 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 Gxy Bay Vi area. But she didn’t have. an
ess 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
ce 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 ck umbre 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 copsed 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 ced her in the car’s back seat, then
slowly drove into the residential area.
