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.

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.

“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.”
