Chapter 548 You’ve Been epted
“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?” Eleanorined unhappily.
Philip was already annoyed, and herints 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 toe 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 bber 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 epting 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’te 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 ssmates 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 newster 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 toe 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 me after stepping on
broken ss? 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’lle back sooner orter. With no money and ID card, she can’t do anything”
“But what if she doesn’te 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 wille back. Just wait and see.”
Gxy 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. ording to Dulcie, she didn’t grow up
Symeon and only recently returned to his side.
with
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 nced 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 of Winters Enterprise. We are pleased to inform you that you have
been epted for the position. Your job offer letter will be delivered tomorrow. Could you please

After ending the call, Casey smiled.

about her stepmother’s mood.
