The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 548 You’ve Been Accepted

“Watch how you speak to us. Even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t take it out on us. It’s your daughter who made you angry. What does it have to do with us?” Eleanor complained unhappily.

Philip was already annoyed, and her complaints only made it worse. Ever since he married Eleanor, there hasn’t been a moment of peace in their home.

Sometimes, he truly envied his friends’ harmonious families.

“It’s all your fault. You don’t know how to manage a family. I don’t understand how my friends’ families. can be so harmonious. Even though they’re blended families too, their wives can get along so well with their husband’s children. But why can’t you do it? You’ve been in the Carter Family for so many years, but you still can’t handle Casey. You’ve even turned us against each other.”

Philip had a lot of pent-up anger, and Eleanor happened to come over, so he vented it all out on her.

Eleanor’s temper exploded instantly, and she pointed at her son’s foot wrapped in gauze. “Hey! Don’t you have any sense of reason? It’s your daughter who intentionally injured my son’s foot. She wants to cripple my son so that she can inherit all of your assets, yet you still say I don’t know how to manage a family. She’s an ungrateful child. How do you expect me to be good to her?”

Eleanor wanted to drive Casey out of the house, and this was a rare opportunity she couldn’t miss. She absolutely couldn’t let this father and daughter reconcile.

“Why are you shouting? Do you even understand how inheritance works? You don’t understand anything. yet you blabber all day long. Inheriting the family fortune has nothing to do with being disabled or not. Even if Peter is disabled, he can still inherit my assets. Casey has no reason to do such things!”

“Then why can’t your daughter be more accepting and acknowledge that you have a biological son? You should know she refused to acknowledge my son as her brother while I was pregnant!”

Philip furrowed his brows and sighed. “Alright, stop talking. She hasn’t come back yet. It seems like she’s furious and didn’t bring her bank card, money, or ID. I don’t even know where she spent the night.”

“Your daughter is already in her twenties. Why are you so worried? Doesn’t she have classmates and friends?” Eleanor’s tone was full of disdain.

After hearing that, Philip became more and more worried. He wanted to go out and take a look, worried he might receive bad news later and regret waiting this long.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Peter came over and hugged his leg. “Dad, stay with me. My foot hurts so much, and I don’t want Casey to come back. She always bullies me.”

“Peter Carter, that’s enough! She’s your sister. Do you think I don’t know how you injured your foot? You always like to run around the house without wearing shoes. Who can you blame after stepping on broken glass? This is all your sister’s fault, but aren’t you also responsible?” Philip usually doted on his son, but no matter how much he doted on him, he still had to teach him the right principles.

“Philip, that’s enough. There’s a limit to how biased you can be. My son’s foot is injured, but you’re scolding him.”
