Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Casey stepped aside and answered the phone. Mr. Waltham’s voice came through. “Casey, pardon the abrupt call, but your father asked me to inform you that if you continue to reject his conditions, it is highly likely that you two will have to meet in court. He has already asked me to draft the cause papers.”

Her fingertips trembled. She did not expect the Carter Family to be so ruthless as they actually forced her and her father to meet in court.

Her heart turned cold.

Casey smiled. “Let’s meet in court then. When the court announces the final verdict, tell him that I will completely sever my relationship with him. I don’t need a heartless and ruthless father like him.”

“Casey, your dad doesn’t want to go against you in court either. That’s why he asked me to persuade you. Rest assured that he will definitely leave you with enough money to spend for the rest of your life. He won’t let his own daughter end up homeless on the streets. You can absolutely trust me on this…”

Before Mr. Waltham could finish speaking, Casey hung up the phone. She did not want to hear another. word right now. All she wanted to do was to completely cut ties with her despicable father.

Her conversation was overheard by Symeon, who was standing behind her. Although he did not know what was being said exactly, he clearly heard the words meet in court.”

Symeon spoke slowly, “Do you need me to recommend a lawyer for you?”

Casey turned around abruptly. “Yes! I really need you to recommend a highly capable lawyer for me.”

A smirk appeared on the man’s lips. “First, tell me who wants to sue you.”

She lowered her head, feeling too ashamed to speak.

Did she have to tell this man that her own biological father wanted to sue her?

Symeon said, “If you don’t speak, I won’t help you.”

Casey suddenly looked up. “I’ll tell you! It’s my dad!”

“Your dad?” A hint of disbelief flashed in Symeon’s eyes. He found it somewhat unbelievable that a father would sue his own daughter.
