Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

When Eleanor noticed that Philip was still concerned about whether Casey would answer the phone or not, she became increasingly panicked. She tried to appear nonchalant and smiled. “Maybe she’s just sleeping in. It’s not uncommon for young people to sleep in, you know?”

“No, that’s not right. I know Casey very well. She doesn’t have the habit of sleeping in. She hasn’t slept in since graduating from university.”

Philip began to sense that something was amiss and wanted to go to Casey’s rented place to check on her.

Eleanor saw him getting up to leave and called out, “Dear, wait for me. Let’s take Peter to school together, and then, I’ll go with you to check on her.”

“No need. She’ll get angry if she sees you. It’s better if you don’t see each other.” Then, Philip left without looking back, not giving Eleanor a chance to speak.

As Eleanor watched him leave, a sinister smile appeared on her face. Go and find her if you want. You would never expect your precious daughter to be locked up in your own basement.

After Peter finished breakfast, the driver sent him to school.

Eleanor avoided everyone, brought food and drinks to the basement, and threw them in through the small window.

Hearing the noise, Casey immediately stood up and looked over to see Eleanor’s detestable face.

“Eleanor! Let me out! Why are you keeping me locked up here? This is false imprisonment!”

“Who can prove it? Has anyone seen this place? I’ll let you out after some time has passed. I’ll just say that you went in by yourself.” Eleanor’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

Casey was about to explode with anger. She had slept the whole night in this basement, and now Eleanor was throwing food and drinks in. Did she intend to keep her here for a long time? “I’m asking you, why are you keeping me locked up here? Do you want to kill me?”

“How is that possible? I still want to enjoy wealth and luxury. I don’t want to be a murderer. I’ll tell you. since you’re so curious. I plan to keep you here for a while until we transfer the shares under your name. Then, you may leave. You’ll only cause trouble for us outside anyway. These foods and drinks should last you two or three days. I won’t come to see you during this time. After saying that, Eleanor turned and left.
