The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 561

Chapter 561 I Will Never Compromise!

Finally, it was revealed.

Eleanor finally revealed her true intentions, and Casey exclaimed angrily. “Who gave you the right to decide my life? Are you implying that you knew who the child’s father was all along?”

“How could I have known? All I knew was that the man had a lot of influence overseas. I didn’t know anything else. And even if you know all this now, what can you do? The child is gone, and you will never find him.” Eleanor arrogantly laughed, thinking the woman had already disposed of the child.

Little did she know that Dulcie had already returned to Symeon’s side after going through twists and

turns.

Casey released her grip on Eleanor’s collar and burst into laughter-one that was even more audacious than Eleanor. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“What are you laughing at, and what’s so funny? You haven’t even seen what the child looks like, so you’re a failed mother. What right do you have to laugh here?

Eleanor couldn’t find it to laugh because Casey’s laughter made her

uneasy.

“Of course, I can laugh. Why shouldn’t I? I’m laughing because you’re about to meet your doom,” Casey said while turning around and unlocking the door before leaving.

Eleanor grabbed her. “Stop! What do you mean by that? What have you done?”

“Now, you’re scared, huh? It’s too late. When the DNA test results come out, it will be time for you and your lover’s son to leave our Carter Family.” Casey mentioned she no longer wanted to dwell on Eleanor’s actions as she wanted to hold onto what she had, including Dulcie.

After saying that, Casey slammed the door and left..

Eleanor stood dumbfounded in the room. Am I really going to be kicked out of here? No, this will not happen!

Philip had already gone to do the DNA test, and she would be finished if the results came out. She even left the Carter Family with Peter.

She dialed his phone number and angrily shouted with a trembling voice, “What have you done? The DNA test results are about to come out, and what are we going to do?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it, as I secretly replaced Philip’s blood samples with mine. The DNA test will definitely show that he is the biological father,” the man assured her.

“Really?”

Her face lit up with a smile of joy, and her worried expression disappeared instantly.

“Really, please don’t worry. You must stay calm these days and act as if nothing has happened.”

“I get it, so please focus on your own matters. It’s best if you don’t come looking for me anymore these days, and let’s act like we don’t know each other. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to get through this situation, and even if we resolve the DNA test issue, Philip might still doubt our relationship,” she reminded him.

“Okay, I understand, and you need to protect my son and yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, her face showed a smug smile again. “Casey, you are still too naive to compete with me, so just wait to be dealt with by me.”

A few days later.

Casey was working overtime at Winters Enterprise when she suddenly received a call from home saying. there was an important announcement.

“Miss Casey, Mr. Carter is calling you back as he said there will be a family meeting.”

“A family meeting?” The DNA test results seem to be out, and they probably want to announce a divorce.

In fact, she had suspected for a long time who Peter really was, as he didn’t resemble his father at all. Moreover, Philip was almost sixty years old when Eleanor was pregnant, and his health was not very good during many medical check-ups. How could the pregnancy go so smoothly?

“Okay, I got it, and I’ll go back after I finish my work, probably in half an hour.”

After hanging up the phone, she felt something strange but couldn’t pinpoint it.

She picked up her bag, left the company, and hailed a cab home after work.

Carter Residence.

Casey felt a strange atmosphere as soon as she entered the house.

Philip and Eleanor were sitting on the couch in the living room, not saying a word, while Peter was sitting there playing with his phone.

The whole house was lifeless, with only the background music from the game on Peter’s phone.

“Why did you call me back?” Casey didn’t call Philip because she remembered the slap he gave her that day and couldn’t forget it.

He threw a DNA test report into her arms and said, “Please take a good look for yourself. You had misunderstood your Aunt Eleanor as she’s not the kind of person you think she is.”

Misunderstood?

She opened the file folder, took out a DNA test report, and quickly flipped to the last page, only to find that it said ‘Parent-child relationship.

Parent-child relationship? How is this possible? Peter is Dad’s son?

She looked shocked. “This is impossible! How could he be your son? I clearly heard him calling that man

“Dad.”

“Casey, you had heard wrong as Peter didn’t call anyone “Dad,” and his father has always been your dad as you are siblings. I know you don’t like me and your brother, but I never expected you to stoop this low to slander us. The results of the DNA test are out now, so what else do you have to say? Peter is your half- brother from the same father, and you can’t deny it anymore!”

“It’s fake! This DNA test must be fake! It’s absolutely impossible!” She refused to believe that Eleanor had no connection with that man as she clearly heard Peter call that man “Dad.”

“Enough! The evidence is right in front of you, and you still want to say these things! Casey, what do you really want? Do you want to destroy this family completely before you’re satisfied? Yes, I have responsibility for your mother’s death, but do you want me dead too?”

Suddenly, Philip felt disappointed in his daughter, as he felt that all the years of nurturing and effort had been in vain, and he could no longer win back her affection.

“This means that you only believe Eleanor’s words now and don’t believe anyone else’s? Then why did you call me back? Just to show me this?”

He suddenly became cold and ruthless. “I called you back to show you this DNA test, to acknowledge your brother’s existence, and to give him half of the shares you hold, whether you agree or not.”

“What? These shares were bequeathed to me by my mother. Why should I have to share them with him? I refuse!”

“If that’s the situation, then the only way to resolve this is through legal means as father and daughter. Your mother and I jointly established this company, so both of us should decide the allocation of shares, and she did not have the authority to decide on her own.”

He didn’t intend to go to such lengths but merely wanted to intimidate his daughter.

However, he failed to realize that his actions had infuriated Casey entirely. Tears streamed down her face as she clenched her teeth and said, “You are willing to take me to court for the sake of a mistress and an illegitimate child! You are my father!”

“What illegitimate child! Please watch your words!”

“I am referring to an illegitimate child! And let me make it clear. I will not compromise, so we will settle this in court!”

With that, she left the house without looking back.
