The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 559 Seeking the Truth 

“I..”

Eleanor was at a loss for words. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Philip became furious and bellowed, “Peter calls that man ‘Daddy?” Then, what am I to him? You better explain to me what’s going on!”

“What else is there to say? Just do a DNA test, and everything will be clear,” Casey said indifferently.

“Casey, you’re insulting me. Are you suggesting that I’ve cheated on your father?”

“Isn’t that the case? Then, explain to me why Peter calls that man ‘Daddy. You don’t even know him, right?” Casey sneered.

At that point, Philip was consumed with anger, his mind filled with the photo his daughter had taken on her phone. He desperately wanted to know the truth.

“I… Dear, don’t listen to her nonsense. How could Peter not be your child? This is an insult to my character. Peter is your son.”

Eleanor burst into tears, but deep down, she was confused. What would she do if Philip did a DNA test? It would completely ruin their relationship.

That was because Peter was not Philip’s son. Philip was already quite old and incapable of getting her pregnant.

Hence, she found another man to get pregnant with and successfully pushed Philip’s original wife away to become the lady of the Carter Family.

“If that’s the case, let’s do a DNA test. It’s not that difficult. Philip let go of Eleanor’s hand and walked away.

Eleanor stood frozen in place and felt like she was struck by lightning. She had a terrified look on her face. This is it.

The truth was about to be exposed, and she hadn’t yet received the money. Everything was going to be exposed.

Casey pushed Eleanor out of the door and said, “Hurry up and find a way to please the other man. Don’t end up with nothing in the end.”

After speaking, she closed the door, leaving Eleanor outside.

At this moment, Eleanor was on the verge of going crazy. She gritted her teeth and knocked on the door. “Casey! Come out! What benefit do you get from tearing this family apart? How can you be so malicious?”

No matter how hard she knocked, Casey wouldn’t open the door, leaving Eleanor in a panic. What was she -going to do?

Casey looked at the closed door and refused to open it no matter how Eleanor knocked on it outside.

After a while, it finally became silent outside, so she thought maybe Eleanor had left.

If she could remove the obstacle named Eleanor, maybe the relationship between her and her father could be eased.

Next, she needed to investigate what Eleanor had done to her while she was abroad and how she erased. her memory.

Also, how did she meet Symeon? According to that man, she climbed onto his bed and then disappeared, secretly giving birth to a child. Was it really like that?

Casey couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing back then.

She took out her phone, searched for the number belonging to the nanny who took care of her while she was abroad, and dialed it. It connected quickly.

“Hello, who is it?”

“Nana, is that you? It’s me, Casey.”

“Casey? Why did you call me so suddenly?”

Great, Nana still remembers me.

Casey smiled and said, “Nana, I heard that you haven’t been working since you returned to the country and are now taking care of your grandson, right?”

“Yes.

“Nana, do you have time tonight? Can we meet? I haven’t seen you in a long time and want to talk to you about something.”

“Well… that’s fine, but I must put my grandson to sleep before leaving. How about another day?”

“It’s fine. I have something urgent to ask, so please call me when you’re done. I’ll be waiting.”

As she was getting closer to the truth. Casey felt excited. When she was abroad, her nanny, Abby, had almost accompanied her throughout junior high school, high school, and college, so Abby knew almost everything about her.

Therefore, Abby couldn’t be completely unaware of the lost memories.

“Sure, Casey. I haven’t seen you in a long time either and really miss you.”

“Then, let’s meet later. I’ll wait for your call.”

Once the call ended, Casey felt a bit excited because she felt that she was getting closer to the truth.

Ar 10 p.m., Abby finally called.

Casey answered the phone immediately. “Nana, do you have time now?”

“Yes, I’m heading to Central Park. Can you meet me there? I can’t stay out for too long because my husband is at home taking care of my grandson, and I’m worried he’ll be looking for me if he wakes up.”

“Sure. I’ll come right away!”

After finishing the call, Casey picked up her bag and left the house, eager to ask Abby what had happened all those years ago.

Half an hour later, she arrived at Central Park by cab. It took her a while, but she finally found Abby sitting on a bench under a tree.

“Nana!”

She walked over and called out. Abby stood up when she heard the voice, looking at the young girl standing in front of her, almost unable to recognize her.

“Are you Casey?”

“Yes, it’s me!”

Abby studied her up and down, smiling and saying, “I didn’t expect you to change so much. You look event more beautiful. It’s been such a long time.”

“Yeah, Nana. I haven’t seen you since we returned to the country. I really miss you.”

Casey thought for a moment and said, “Nana, I asked you to meet me today because there’s something I want to ask you. I hope you can answer truthfully because those things are really important to me.”

There’s no need for so much formality between us. Just ask whatever you want, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Casey took a deep breath and cautiously asked, “Nana, what happened when I was abroad four years ago? I can’t remember some things, and I don’t remember anything from four years ago. It feels like I suddenly woke up one day and was already back in the country.

When she mentioned the events from four years ago, Abby’s expression suddenly changed, and her gaze became evasive.

“Well… Casey, I’m not really sure. Maybe you should go back and ask someone else.”

Seeing Abby’s evasive look, Casey knew that something must have happened. However, Abby couldn’t tell- her.

“Nana, you watched me grow up. Are you simply trying to shield me from sadness and distress? What transpired four years ago? Why are you reluctant to disclose it? Is it because Eleanor posed a threat to you?”

Casey ventured to guess, as there seemed to be no other explanation for Abby, who had already retired, to evade the subject in such a manner.
