The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

“What? She left? How could you let her go? Didn’t you stop her?” Philip was furious. He had rushed back. thinking that he could reconcile with Casey, but she had actually left.

Eleanor looked aggrieved. “What can I do? She gets angry whenever she sees me. She even slapped me just now. Don’t believe me? Ask Dylan.”

Hearing that, Philip turned to the butler and asked, “Is that what happened?”

“That’s indeed what happened, but Madam also stepped on Miss’ hand, so they both hit each other,” Dylan answered truthfully.

“Shouldn’t I fight back when I was hit by someone younger than me? How can I still stand my ground in this family or educate Peter if I don’t fight back?” Eleanor’s expression immediately changed.

Dylan couldn’t be kept anymore. Eleanor was already thinking of dismissing him.

He didn’t say anything and left to attend to his business.

“Is this b*stard really taking me to court?” Philip was furious.

“Darling, I don’t think we can peacefully resolve this matter with Casey now.”

“What do you suggest then? We can’t force her, right?” Philip didn’t want to have a complete falling out with his daughter. After all, he didn’t have many children in his life, and he wouldn’t have any more in the future.

“I don’t want to force her either. This is what I think. If we secretly transfer the shares under Casey’s name without her knowledge, would that work? Of course, we won’t mistreat the child. We’ll leave her with enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life.” Eleanor fawned.

“If she finds out about this, won’t she fight me to the death? No, this won’t work.”

Philip thought about how Casey would go berserk, possibly even jumping off a building like his ex-wife. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated.

“Oh darling, if we don’t do this, we’ll never get our hands on these shares. And even if we go to court, we might not necessarily win…”

Philip was tempted, but, at the same time, hesitant when he considered his daughter’s feelings. Casey would probably hate him for the rest of her life if he did this.
