Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

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.

“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.”
