The Barrister's Love in Town

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.
