Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

After Philip left, Casey immediately shut the door, shivering uncontrollably from head to toe in anger. Fine, it seems that there is no other way I can talk some sense into my father’s head. In that case, I guess I’ll have to leave everything to the court. Casey then poured herself a glass of water and guzzled down one shot while taking a long time to calm herself down.

Upon contemplating to herself, Casey gave Amanda a call as Amanda’s voice rang out from the other side of the phone. “Hello, Casey.”

“Amanda, my dad… He came by again earlier. You were right about him. He just tried to guilt-trip me, but I didn’t fall for it or agree to his proposal, so he ended up stomping off angrily. However, I’m not sure whether he’ll be back again….

“I’m sure he will, which is why we must gather all the evidence we need as soon as possible. Speaking of that, you have to collect samples of your brother and father’s hair or toothbrush for a DNA paternity test. If you think you can’t get it done, I can take care of it for you.”

“No… No need for that. I’ll do it myself. It’s easier for them to find out if you’re the one who does it.” Casey refused to let Amanda get involved as she was concerned about her safety.

“Okay, just be careful. Don’t hesitate to give me a call if you ever find yourself in trouble; otherwise, you could always turn to Symeon. I believe he’ll offer you some protection.”

Casey’s heart raced when she heard Symeon’s name, thinking that man seemed to hold quite a special place in Amanda’s heart. After all, Amanda had never denied what he was capable of.

“Alright, I heard you. I’ll get the samples ready and give them to you soon.” Casey soon hung up the call and fell into a deep silence. Deep down, she had no idea whether what she was going to do was right. Instead, the only motivation that prompted her to do that was her desire to keep and protect what her mother had left for her. No, I must never lose what Mom left for me, and I will not let that b*tch, Eleanor, get what she wants, but… How am I supposed to collect samples of my dad and Peter’s hair and their toothbrush?

After a brief contemplation, Casey decided to call the butler at home and went on to dial his number. A few moments later, the call was finally answered, just as the butler’s voice was heard.

She dialed the housekeeper’s number, and it rang for a long time before he answered. The housekeeper’s voice came from the phone, “Miss Casey, I certainly didn’t expect a call from you. Are you coming home? Please come back here at once. Your father didn’t mean to give you a hard time.”

“I didn’t call you to talk about that, Mr. Sol. Look, I’d like you to do me a favor.”
