The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 562 You Have Absolutely No Right To Mention Amanda! 

Philip was so furious that he felt dizzy and unstable, and he wanted to grab her but was unable to due to his physical condition. “Get out of here! We’ll settle this in court, and I will never back down! Let me tell you this-your mother has controlled me for half of my life, so I will make my own decisions after she’s gone!”

Casey ignored him and left home immediately.

Eleanor quickly supported her husband. “Alright, alright. Don’t be angry. Your hypertension is acting up again. Since we’ve already discussed it, let’s resolve it in court. We might not even lose the lawsuit.”

“I’m so angry. I haven’t expected her to be so stubborn. It’s not like we’re neglecting her. Why does she have to be so obstinate? She’s a girl and will get married sooner or later, so why does she need so many shares? Is she going to shift our family’s assets to someone else’s name? This is wasteful!” Philip panted heavily and sat down on the couch.

Eleanor gently patted his chest, comforting him, “Alright, alright, don’t be angry.”

She then looked at her younger son. “Peter, can’t you see how angry your father is? Come and comfort. him. Do you want to be like your sister, who always infuriates people?”

She had to let her considerate and obedient son take the stage now, which would make Philip more ruthless toward his own daughter.

Peter threw his phone to one side and ran over. “Dad, don’t worry, I’ll still be here for the family. Let’s pretend that she never existed in this family and that you never had a daughter.”

Philip was stunned, staring blankly at his younger son. How could a seven or eight-year-old child say words? Clearly, someone had taught him to do so.

“What did you say?”

Eleanor thought that Philip had believed those words and signaled for her son to continue speaking with ” her gaze.

Peter went on, “I said that I’ll still be here. Casey is gone, which means everything in this family will be mine. When I grow up, I will take care of you and Mom. After all, all of your money is mine. When I get all the family assets-”

Eleanor immediately covered her son’s mouth. He would really expose everything if he went on talking.

Philip was so angry that he almost slapped him. “Is this how you teach your son? Are you hoping for me to die soon so that you can inherit my fortune?”

“No, dear, you have misunderstood. I didn’t teach him that. He’s been watching dramas lately and must have learned it from there.” Eleanor held her son and signaled for him to be quiet with a look.

Peter was too scared to speak after seeing his dad explode in anger and merely hid in his mother’s arms.

Philip shouted at his son, “Let me tell you this. Even if I end up in court with Casey, she is still your sister! The purpose of the lawsuit is to distribute the shares fairly, not to kick her out of this family! Who allowed you to not recognize her as your sister? As long as you are my son, Casey is your sister. You are not allowed to say such nonsense again! Otherwise, I will donate all my property and not give it to you!”

The man angrily walked upstairs after that, and Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief after watching him leave.

Peter looked defiant. “Mom, why are you scolding me? Weren’t these the words you said to Dad? Why can’t I say them?”

“You are not allowed to mention him at home anymore; otherwise, we will all be in trouble!”

“Why-”

“There’s no excuses. From now on, your dad is Philip, and there is no one else! There is no Dad, are not allowed to mention him!”

“Oh. Should I pretend not to know Dad if Dad comes to the kindergarten to see me then?”

“Yes!”

Casey ran out of the house crying, feeling that her relationship with her dad was completely broken. However, she had never expected Philip to sue her.

She sat on the roadside crying for a long, long time, then composed herself and went to work. If she really had to go to court, she might not be able to hold on to the shares her mom had left her, but at this point, she definitely had to find a good lawyer. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After returning to Winters Enterprise, she was absent-minded for the whole afternoon and felt very sad. She didn’t have a father anymore since Philip had completely cut ties with her.

On the way to the restroom, she unexpectedly ran into Elias. Because of the incident at the parent-child sports event, he seemed to have a negative impression of her.

She didn’t know if he had sensed her purpose for coming to the company, but she still politely addressed him. “Mr. Winters.”

He stopped in his tracks. “Come here, let’s talk.”

She was a little surprised but still followed after him.

The man walked to the rest area and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Imperia. He asked, “Why have you become so close to Symeon? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with him.”

“I haven’t!”

“Then, why?” He turned around, trying to find some clues from her expression.

“I just felt sorry for that child, so I went to help him. I have a special connection with that child-

She didn’t want outsiders to know about Dulcie being her daughter yet, though.

He replied, “I think your behavior now shows that you have already fallen for him. If you really plan to be in a relationship with Symeon, I suggest you resign. Lawrence Group and I are currently at odds, and if you work for me, it will only make me think that you have ulterior motives.”

“I don’t! Don’t worry, I will never spy on you for him! It’s absolutely impossible!”

She would never be a corporate spy; she just wanted to regain custody of Dulcie. Moreover, Elias seemed to still trust Amanda a lot, without suspecting that she had betrayed him.

“Regardless of whether it’s possible or not, you shouldn’t work here if you have any involvement with him. His ruthless and cold demeanor made her feel a little lost.

She suddenly smiled. Then, why did your wife actively seek him out? Why didn’t you divorce her? Why didn’t you suspect her of being a spy?”

She couldn’t wait to describe the compromising scenes she had witnessed, but she held herself back.

He became furious. “You have absolutely no right to mention Amanda since our relationship is none of your concern! I am simply reminding you that Symeon is not trustworthy. Whether you choose to heed

my advice or not, there is no need for you to retaliate.”

Having expressed his thoughts, he turned around and walked away without a backward glance.
