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 tellyou that those who do wrong will eventually face the consequences. What’s more, there’s nothing to behappy 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 meonce. 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 replaceyou?”

“Yes, Amanda came to replace me. She wanted to steal my bidding documents, but unfortunately, shecouldn’t replace them. Actually, I didn’t hide them very well, but she still doesn’t know me well enough, soshe searched around and couldn’t replace 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 thinkit’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 stillno results. Did I get rejected?

Just as she poured a glass of water and was about to drink it, her younger brother, Peter, bumped intoher 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, causingblood 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 thehospital 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 thebloodstains on the floor.

“What’s going on, huh? How did this happen? Why is there blood? There’s broken glass, too! Peter, letme see what’s happened.”

Eleanor rushed over and pushed Casey aside. Then, she looked at her son’s bleeding foot, shouting indistress, “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 Istepped on it. Mom, my foot hurts so much. Take me to the hospital quickly. I’m dying! There’s so muchblood.”

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 purposelybreak the glass to make him step on it? Don’t you know how painful it is? How malicious of you. You’rejust like your mother. No wonder your father wants nothing to do with her. Now I finally understandwhy.”

Stunned by the slap, Casey thought that Peter was indeed following in his mother’s footsteps, full oflies.

The next second, Casey couldn’t hold back and slapped Eleanor in return, knocking the latter to theground. 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 whenhe 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 youngerbrother. Also, how could you hit your elders?”

“You only believe what they say. Would you believe what I say? Your son was running around. thehouse and bumped into me, causing the glass to fall and break on the floor. It’s his own. fault forstepping 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’vebecome 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 andweak 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 nolonger be my daughter. If I keep you as my daughter, I fear that I won’t be able to live much longer. Getout 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’teven 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 accesscard and couldn’t enter.

She could only squat pitifully next to the green belt on the side. Unfortunately, the weather suddenlychanged and started to drizzle.

At that moment, she caught sight of a stray cat while she was desperately searching for a place to seekshelter 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 hardfor her to open her eyes.

The door swung open, and a man holding a black umbrella emerged, positioning himself in front of herto 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, sheimmediately collapsed onto the ground, losing consciousness.

Symeon gazed at the woman lying on the ground and muttered in frustration, “You fool, couldn’t youhave made a phone call?”

Disregarding her soaking body, he lifted her up and placed her in the car’s back seat, then slowly droveinto the residential area.
