Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 576 A Cry for Assistance 

Within the confines of the car.

Amanda let out a resigned sigh. “I fear Casey is in dire straits. The way Eleanor erased the surveillance footage so meticulously indicates that she must be hiding something sinister.”

“I can’t fathom why she would delete the surveillance footage. Could it be possible that she has abducted Casey?” Symeon narrowed his eyes, reaching for a cigarette, but abruptly remembered Amanda’s presence and withdrew his hand.

“Casey might have been relocated by Eleanor. If the surveillance footage was deleted, it could be retrieved, but if the hard drive was entirely replaced, all hope is lost.”

“Regardless, our first course of action should be to attempt to recover the surveillance footage from the Carter Residence. If that proves futile, then we’ll confront Eleanor directly. If she resists, we’ll compel her,” Symeon stated, his face set in a stern expression.

Amanda pondered for a moment, then voiced, “But there’s one comforting fact, that is, Eleanor is unlikely to harm her, which would buy us enough time to locate her.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Symeon steered the car slowly away from the Carter Residence, oblivious to the fact that Casey was imprisoned in the basement at that very moment.

Meanwhile, within the confines of the basement, Casey was racking her brain to devise an escape plan through the small window, but she couldn’t locate any tools in the basement to aid her escape.

Suddenly, the sound of a ball being kicked and the chatter of Peter echoed from outside the basement door.

Peter? Right!

She could employ Peter to liberate herself or, at the very least, send out a distress signal to the outside world!

Casey pressed herself against the door, peering through the small window at Peter playing ball outside, and hollered, “Peter! Peter! It’s me, Casey! Come over here!”

Intrigued by the noise from the basement, Peter ambled over, and upon seeing her confined inside, he burst into laughter. “Why are you locked in here? Did you misbehave and get punished by Daddy? Serves you right, haha!“

Peter stuck out his tongue and made faces at her, deliberately provoking her.

Casey couldn’t afford to lose her temper at this point. She cajoled him patiently. “Can you help me open the door and let me out? Once I’m out, I’ll buy you anything you want.”

“Humph, I don’t need it. You’re so annoying. Besides, whatever I desire, Mom and Dad will get it for me.”
