Chapter 563 Secret Meetings With Amanda?

Casey was left standing alone, not expecting Elias to be so furious. Just the thought of him

discovering the truth and possibly breaking down made her feel guilty, but it was still the

truth, and he would have to know about it sooner or later.

Symeon clearly wouldn’t let go of this, plus she didn’t know what Amanda and Symeon

were planning or why they had to wait to confess everything. Could it be that Amanda

wanted to ruin Elias’ career and then run away with Symeon? If that was really the case,

these two were quite frightening.

After work, Casey bought groceries and went home.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she was stunned by the scene before her. Symeon was

holding Dulcie’s little hand as they stood on the ground floor as if they were both waiting

for her return.

When Dulcie saw Casey, she ran towards Casey. “Miss Casey!”

“Dulcie, why are you here?”

“Dad is going to a party, so he took me here to find you. I have begged him for a long

time.”

Casey had been in a bad mood all day, but seeing her daughter now seemed to lighten it

up a bit.

She touched Dulcie’s face and then looked up at the man still standing where he was. “You

can go about your business. Dulcie can stay here tonight.”

*No need. I’ll come to pick her up before I go home. Also, we can discuss a potential

collaboration.”

“Collaboration? What do you mean?” Casey couldn’t help but frown. It seemed like this

man could turn anything into a business deal.

Symeon spoke slowly, “If I am occupied, I can leave Dulcie with you and also pay you a

monthly salary for that. What do you think?”

She was stunned for a while but then laughed. “You’re deliberately trying to disgust me.

You know I’m willing to do it even if you don’t pay me, so that’s unnecessary.”

“It’s because I don’t want to have any personal relationship with you. Taking care of Dulcie

is my responsibility, not yours.”

The man was quite heartless, but Casey didn’t want to lose her temper in front of Dulcie,

so she controlled. herself. “You can go about your business. I’ll take Dulcie home.”

“Miss Casey, I’m hungry.”

As soon as Casey heard Dulcie’s voice, her heart softened a bit again.

Casey smiled. “Alright, I’ll make something delicious for you later. How about your favorite

fried chicken. wings?”

“Okay!”

“Good girl”

Symeon looked at the mother-and-daughter pair as they turned and left, unable to help a

smile. If things continued like this, Dulcie might really recognize Casey as her mother, and

it wouldn’t be easy to separate them then.

With a helpless sigh, he turned and left.

Symeon knew that Elias would also be at the dinner party he attended tonight but had no

intention of interacting with the latter. Dulcie was still at Casey’s house, so he planned to

stay for only half an hour, greet everyone, and then leave.

However, while he hadn’t planned to disturb Elias, Elias approached him instead. Elias

walked over with a glass of red wine, and Symeon stayed where he was, not intending to

avoid Elias.

“Are you planning to be with Casey?” Elias didn’t beat around the bush and asked him the

question directly.

Symeon swirled his wine. “What does it have to do with you? Have you taken a liking to

fter? Has your love for Amanda faded so quickly?”,

“Cut the nonsense. Since you fancy Casey, why won’t you let her work in your company

instead of sending her to Winters Enterprise? Is she potentially a corporate spy?”

Symeon’s face changed slightly as soon as Elias finished speaking. “She works for you?”

Casey hadn’t said Winters Enterprise when he asked where she worked. Had she lied to

him?

“You don’t even know that? How dare you claim you like her? You don’t care about your

girlfriend.”

“Who told you that she is my girlfriend? Mind your business and take care of Amanda

instead. No longer in the mood for idle talk, Symeon put down his wine and then turned to

leave.

Watching Symeon’s retreating back, Elias suddenly felt that Casey’s name sounded

familiar, as if he had heard it before. Where had it been again? He couldn’t remember it.

In the evening, Symeon arrived at the residential area where Casey lived, took the

elevator to the door, and pressed the doorbell. After a while, she came to open the door.

When she saw him standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment before

saying, “Dulcie is watching TV over there. You can pick her up later since she just finished

her meal.”

The man nodded and then walked into the house.

Looking at the cramped interior, he remembered what Elias had said. He couldn’t

understand why Casey wanted to work at Winters Enterprise. Could it be that she wanted

to break up Elias and Amanda?

“Why are you working at Winters Enterprise?”

Casey hesitated for a moment. “How did you know about it? Who told you that?”

“Never mind who told me. I’ll find out sooner or later anyway. I just want to know why

you’re working there. Was it to get close to Elias? To make Elias and Amanda split up and

replace her position in his

heart?”

The man paused, and she shouted, “Yes! So that you can have what you want. When you

win Amanda. over, I can have Dulcie back! Isn’t that a win-win situation? Why do you care

so much?”

“Are you crazy? Do you really think you can do it? Elias will never be swayed. Don’t waste

your efforts.”

“I don’t need you to worry about it. I have my own plans!” Casey felt that he, as well as

Amanda, was hypocritical. These two were obviously up to something, yet they were still

pretending.

“Casey, you’re playing with fire. If Elias finds out about your intentions, he will destroy

you. He will never allow anyone to take Amanda away.”;

Casey laughed, “Since you know that already, why did you still have secret meetings with

Amanda? Do you really think that your affair will never be discovered? When will you two

finally leave Elias alone?”

“Having secret meetings with Amanda? What are you talking about?”

“Why won’t you admit to it? Sorry, I saw everything, and I only believe what I have seen!”

He burst into laughter, his anger evident. “What did you see? Did you catch me in bed

with her, or did you perceive something entirely different? On what grounds do you have

the audacity to make unfounded. accusations?”

There was no romantic involvement between him and Amanda. What had Casey

misconstrued?

“That’s enough. I need not elaborate further on the events that transpired in the study.”

“The study?” Symeon swiftly went through his memories of his past encounters with

Amanda in the study. Could it be when she had attempted to steal the bidding

documents?
