Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 578 The Rescue of Casey 

Symeon disregarded her words and made a beeline for the basement.

Eleanor was the first to intercept him. “Stop! I won’t allow you to roam freely in my house! Mr. Sol! Where are you? Call the police immediately!”

“Oh… I’m on it.” Dylan, although confused, knew better than to disobey his master’s orders. He was the Carter Family’s butler, after all.

Just as Dylan was about to call the police, Amanda intervened. “Do you know where your Miss Casey is being held captive? She’s in your basement.”

“What?” Dylan was taken aback, unable to comprehend the situation.

Philip was equally shocked, and then his shock turned into rage. “You’re spouting nonsense! Are you saying that I wouldn’t know if my daughter was locked in the basement? Who would dare to imprison her there?”

“Find her and let her tell you herself, Amanda suggested.

Seeing Philip wavering, Eleanor immediately protested, “Darling, don’t fall for their tricks! These two are intruders! They’re here to stir up trouble. We can’t allow them to search our house. Otherwise, anyone could come and search the place in the future, right?

“Yes, we can’t let them search our house indiscriminately

Amanda smiled. “Madam, you seem quite anxious. Could you be involved in this matter?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly be involved in this? I have no idea where Casey is, and how do you know she’s in the basement? You’re clearly here to cause trouble! What’s

your motive?” Eleanor was indeed a bit flustered, but she couldn’t let Philip find out, or she would be doomed.

Amanda approached Symeon and calmly suggested, “Mr. Carter, since you’re reluctant to let us search the house, why don’t you find her yourself? As for who locked Casey in the basement, she can tell you herself when she comes out. What do you think, Mr. Carter?”

If they barged in, it would be trespassing, but if Philip went to the basement himself, there would be no issue.

“Darling, don’t trust them! We don’t know their intentions. This woman claimed to be Casey’s lawyer when she came last time. We don’t know if she’s colluding with your precious daughter to stage a show You mustn’t listen to them”

Eleanor rushed back to Philip’s side, trying her best to dissuade him.

However, Philip was indeed anxious to find Casey, fearing his daughter might be harmed.

That night, he heard his daughter’s cries for help from beneath his house and thought he was hallucinating. Could it be that he had indeed heard her cries?

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to head toward the basement alone.

Eleanor shouted angrily, “Do you really believe their lies? They’re deceiving you!”

“I’ll just check my own basement. Can’t I go to my own basement? If there’s nothing there, Ed like to see how they are going to explain themselves!”

After saying that, he shrugged off the woman’s hand and proceeded toward the basement.

Amanda glanced at Eleanor, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, and followed Philip.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Eleanor watched them all head toward the basement, her face turning ashen with fear. What should she do now?

If Casey came out later, she would definitely expose her.

Who could save her now?

Only Peter!

Yes! Peter!

Eleanor immediately turned around and went back, planning to use her son as a shield.

Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the basement, and as he approached the door, he saw his beloved daughter Casey’s face through the narrow window. Casey cried, “Dad, you’re finally here! Let me out! Let me out!”

Philip was dumbstruck. She was indeed locked in the basement.

Dylan, who followed after them, was equally stunned upon seeing Casey.

“How did you get locked in here? Who locked you in?” Philip asked, unable to hide his concern.

Amanda interjected, “Mr. Carter, let’s get Casey out first

“Yes, yes. Mr. Sol, what’s the password? Hurry up and let her out.” Philip turned to Dylan.

Dylan finally snapped out of his daze, rushed over, and unlocked the basement door, freeing Casey.

Upon seeing Amanda and Symeon, Casey immediately felt a sense of relief and hid behind them. “Dad, I’m telling you the truth. The person who locked me up here is your wife, Eleanor. I don’t care if you believe me or not. If you have anything to say, say it to my lawyer.

Philip was completely taken aback, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Was it really Eleanor who had locked her up?

“How… How is that possible? Did your Aunt Eleanor have nothing better to do and decided to lock you in the basement?”

Amanda chimed in, “Well, you’ll have to ask your lovely wife why she can’t tolerate your daughter.”

“Let’s go. If we stay here any longer, that crazy wife of yours might call the police.” Symeon turned around with a look of disgust and left.

Amanda and Casey also followed suit.

Although Dylan looked incredulous, he still escorted them out.

Halfway through, Amanda suddenly asked him, “May use your bathroom?”

“Oh, this way.”

She then turned to Symeon. “You and Casey wait for me in the car. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

Symeon took Casey’s slender wrist and walked out of Carter Residence.

Dylan then led Amanda to the bathroom.

Inside the car.

Symeon and Casey got into the car, and he handed her à bottle of water. “Do you want to go home or go see Dulcie first?”

“Let’s go home. I’m reeking. I don’t want to give Dulcie the impression that I’m unhygienic.”

Symeon didn’t say anything more, but they waited a long time without seeing Amanda come out, which felt odd.

“Why hasn’t Amanda come out yet? Is she being bullied by my dad and Eleanor?” Casey couldn’t help but worry.

He also frowned and planned to get out of the car to check. Just as he was about to open the car door, he saw Amanda returning.

After getting in the car, Amanda said, “Start the engines. Let’s go.

Although Symeon didn’t quite understand what was going on, he still listened to Amanda and drove away from Carter Residence.

Casey looked anxious. “What happened? Did they bully you?”

“No, look at this. Amanda took out an evidence bag from her bag and handed it to her.

Casey’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, Toothbrushes! Three of them! You got their toothbrushes!”

“That’s right. I took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, and while your dad and your stepmother were arguing, I sneaked into their bathroom and took the toothbrushes”
