Chapter 546 You Put In Less Effort Than Amanda
Over half an hour later, it came as no surprise that Lawrence Group eventually
won the bidding.
Elias wasn’t surprised either, so he wasn’t too angry and simply got up to leave
the bidding. meeting.
Outside the venue, Yacob followed behind Elias and walked toward the parking
lot.
Symeon’s voice came from behind them. “It seems like you’re not surprised by
the result.”
Upon hearing this, Elias stopped and waited for Symeon to catch up before
saying, “I just want to tell you that those who do wrong will eventually face the
consequences. What’s more, there’s nothing to be happy about things obtained
through such means.”
“Mr. Winters, you didn’t put in the same effort as your wife did. At least she
came and talked to me once. Even though I didn’t agree to anything, she has
obviously put in more effort than you.”
When Amanda was mentioned, Elias’ face darkened slightly. “What did you say?
Amanda came to find you?”
“Yes, Amanda came to find me. She wanted to steal my bidding documents, but
unfortunately, she couldn’t find them. Actually, I didn’t hide them very well, but
she still doesn’t know me well enough, so she searched around and couldn’t
find them.” Symeon’s words were filled with a hint of regret.
Elias clenched his fist. He might have punched him right away if they weren’t in
a public place.
“Yacob, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
They quickly left the place while Symeon stood there watching their backs and

At the Carter Residence.
Casey had been anxiously waiting at home for the interview results. But it had
been two days, and still no results. Did I get rejected?
Just as she poured a glass of water and was about to drink it, her younger brother, Peter,
bumped into her while running around the house. The glass in her hand fell to the ground
and shattered into pieces.
“What are you doing, Peter? The glass broke.”
She was about to squat down and clean up the mess when Peter stepped on it with his
foot, causing blood to flow out. He immediately burst into tears. “Ouch! My foot hurts!
Mom, help
me! Sobs-”
Seeing this scene, Casey panicked and quickly carried Peter to the couch to check the sole
of his foot, only to realize that the little guy had been running around the house without
wearing shoes.
When she saw several pieces of broken glass stuck in his foot, she knew she had to rush
him to the hospital because there was no way to deal with it at home.
Upon hearing her son’s cry, Eleanor quickly ran downstairs and panicked when she saw
the bloodstains on the floor.
“What’s going on, huh? How did this happen? Why is there blood? There’s broken glass,
too! Peter, let me see what’s happened.”
Eleanor rushed over and pushed Casey aside. Then, she looked at her son’s bleeding foot,
shouting in distress, “What’s going on? How did you step on glass? Tell me!”
Before Casey could explain, Peter cried and accused, “It was Casey who broke the glass,
and I stepped on it. Mom, my foot hurts so much. Take me to the hospital quickly. I’m
dying! There’s so much blood.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor was furious, and she turned around and slapped Casey, saying,
“Casey, how could you be so cruel? You’re a grownup, yet you are still picking on a child.
Did you purposely break the glass to make him step on it? Don’t you know how painful it
is? How malicious of you. You’re just like your mother. No wonder your father wants
nothing to do with her. Now I finally understand why.”
Stunned by the slap, Casey thought that Peter was indeed following in his mother’s
footsteps, full of lies.
The next second, Casey couldn’t hold back and slapped Eleanor in return, knocking the
latter to the ground. Peter cried even louder when he saw that.
The living room instantly became chaotic.
Philip, who was in a video conference upstairs, finally came downstairs and was
dumbfounded when he saw this scene. How did it turn into such a chaotic mess in just a
few moments?
“What’s happening here? Stop crying, all of you!”
Peter held his bleeding foot and cried, “Casey broke the glass and hurt my foot, and she
also hit Mom. She’s a meanie! A meanie!”
Hearing this, Philip was furious. “Casey! How did you turn into this? You even hurt your
younger brother. Also, how could you hit your elders?”
“You only believe what they say. Would you believe what I say? Your son was running
around. the house and bumped into me, causing the glass to fall and break on the floor.
It’s his own. fault for stepping on it. What does it have to do with me?”
Casey had just finished speaking when Philip couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped her.
“You’ve become just as unreasonable as your mother!”
“Philip Carter! If you dare say another bad word about my mother, I’ll kill your son!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Eleanor and even Philip were shocked. When did hist
gentle and weak daughter become so terrifying?
Eleanor picked up Peter and ran away, saying, “I will take you to the hospital. Don’t cry.”
Philip looked at his daughter, who was now full of rage, and shouted, “Get out!
From now on, you’ll no longer be my daughter. If I keep you as my daughter, I
fear that I won’t be able to live much longer. Get out of here!”

Tears welled up in Casey’s eyes. She wiped them away, turned around, and left
the Carter Residence, not even bothering to change out of her slippers or her
casual clothes.
Philip watched her leaving figure and the shattered glass on the floor, feeling so
angry that he couldn’t even stand steady.
Late that night.
Casey wandered the streets aimlessly, but there was nowhere for her to seek
shelter.
Unconsciously, she walked to the outskirts of the Galaxy Bay Villa area. But she
didn’t have. an access card and couldn’t enter.
She could only squat pitifully next to the green belt on the side. Unfortunately,
the weather suddenly changed and started to drizzle.
At that moment, she caught sight of a stray cat while she was desperately
searching for a
place to seek shelter from the rain.
Soon after, a car came to a halt in front of her, and its headlights were aimed at
her face, making it hard for her to open her eyes.
The door swung open, and a man holding a black umbrella emerged, positioning
himself in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain.
Casey looked up and finally recognized the man standing before her-It was
Symeon.
She was about to speak, but due to being soaked in the rain for too long and
catching a cold, she immediately collapsed onto the ground, losing
consciousness.
Symeon gazed at the woman lying on the ground and muttered in frustration,
“You fool, couldn’t you have made a phone call?”
Disregarding her soaking body, he lifted her up and placed her in the car’s back
seat, then slowly drove into the residential area.
