The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 538 Mutual Affection or Unrequited Love

Symeon narrowed his eyes as he observed Casey, the woman standing before him.

This woman isn’t seriously dumb enough to help me pursue Amanda, is she? Will she stoop so low to do something so morally wrong?

“What does it matter if mutual affection or unrequited love? What can you possibly do about it? Oh, by the way, weren’t you supposed to help me win over Amanda? How’s your plan. going?”

“I haven’t…” Casey hesitated. “Elias saved me last time, and Amanda is his wife. I can’t repay kindness with enmity.”

“Oh… I see.” Symeon nodded. “So, tell me, what did Elias do to save you? Do you really think I would strangle you in public? Do you really believe he saved you for your sake? You think too highly of yourself.”

With that, Symeon walked away without looking back, heading downstairs. He checked his wristwatch; he had a client meeting in the afternoon.

He had been in Cludan for about half a month and found that the market here wasn’t as easy to penetrate as he had thought. To make a mark, he needed to put in some serious effort.

Meanwhile, Casey stood in place, looking surprised. What did Symeon just say? The time he spent with Amanda? What does that mean? These two don’t actually have a romantic history, do they?

As the notion crossed her mind, her emotions swirled in a complex mix, leaving her unable to describe her feelings.
