Chapter 548 You’ve Been Accepted

“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?” Eleanor complained

unhappily.

Philip was already annoyed, and her complaints 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 to come 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 blabber 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 accepting and acknowledge that you have a

biological son? You should know she refused to acknowledge my son as her brother while I

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

was pregnant!”

Philip furrowed his brows and sighed. “Alright, stop talking. She hasn’t come 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

classmates 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 news later 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 to come 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

blame after stepping on broken glass? 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’ll come back sooner or later. With no money and ID card, she can’t do

anything”

“But what if she doesn’t come 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 will come back. Just wait and see.”

Galaxy 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. According 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 glanced 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 accepted for the position. Your job offer letter will be delivered

tomorrow. Could you please provide us with your

address?”

“Really? Thank you so much! I live in Galaxy Bay Villa Area, fifth house on the first row.”

“You’re welcome. The job offer letter will be delivered tomorrow. You are required to report

to the company within five days.”

After ending the call, Casey smiled.

This was great news!

Being accepted meant she could finally have a job and no longer need to rely on her

father or worry about her stepmother’s mood.
