The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 37

“Probably. After all, few could afford such expensive cosmetics.” Edith nodded as if she had thought of something.

Casey, who was standing aside, curled his lips into a smile, which was happened to be caught by Diana.

Diana glared at Casey and asked, “What are you smiling at? The sets of cosmetics are gifts for us, not you.”

“Edith dear, you’d better not be hopeful about this nothing-for-good. I am afraid that people like him cannot afford such expensive cosmetics even though he works hard in the rest of his life.”

Edith glanced at Casey. Just now an idea flashed across her mind – she guessed it was Casey who bought the cosmetics for them.

But since Casey had been with them, she also agreed with the possibility that it was Diana’s Prince Charming who gifted them the cosmetics.

But this didn’t mean that Casey couldn’t afford such expensive cosmetics. She was clear that since Casey could send her the Heart of Venus, a set of cosmetics was just nothing for her.

The manager helped Diana and Edith package the cosmetics. Casey helped them carry the handbags and the goods they bought, and the three left the store.

Seeing them off, the manager sighed from the bottom of her heart, “These were all bought by that hunk, but that girl despised him a lot. I have no idea about the world of these rich people.”

The three then went window shopping in the mall. The two ladies didn’t expect that they would receive warm welcome of all the salesclerks no matter which high-end store they stepped in, as if they had come to an agreement in advance.

Then the managers of the stores would serve them in person, and then gifted the most expensive goods to the two ladies.

Both Diana and Edith were confused. It was the first time that they had the feeling that the mall was owned by them. No matter what they wanted, the salesclerk would send it to them, for free.

Diana asked the managers out of curiosity about who bought the goods and gifted them to her.

But she received identical replies from them. They just smiled; some would even stole a glance at Casey, and then politely told her that it was a secret.

Diana’s curiosity about the identity about the mysterious gift giver reached the peak. She was basically assured that it was Caesar who paid the bills for them.

When she was living streaming, Caesar also left without saying a word after presenting her the gifts, which was as the same as the way that the mysterious person did in the mall today.

Edith also agreed that it was Caesar who bought the gifts for them; otherwise, she couldn’t think of other people.

Only Casey knew the truth – It was Jordan Lane who specially gifted them to Edith and Diana, in an attempt to please him.

With the comparison of Caesar, Diana despised Casey even more and compared him to a piece of useless rubbish.

If it was not because that Edith had a good understanding in Casey’s performance recently, she would also be persuaded by Diana’s negative remarks about Casey.

Edith and Diana continued to walk around in the mall, and after a short while, they got a handful of gifts, which were all from high-class stores and added up to hundreds of thousands of CNY.

Jordan really tried hard to please Casey regardless of the cost. But of course, the cost of these gifts was only a drop in the bucket regarding the fortune of the Davies family.

But pitifully, Casey was no longer the innocent boy back then. The Davies family was indifferent to the cost of these gifts, so did Casey.

“Hey be careful. There are gifted by my Prince Charming. If they were broken, you’ll not to able to afford the compensation.” Diana looked at Casey with dissatisfaction.

In her mind, Casey was much more inferior to her Prince Charming – he was just a nothing-for-good.

The three then walked out of the mall with a handful of gifts. Diana was in a good mood. She took her gifts and said good bye to Edith, and then called a taxi.

“Edith dear, don’t forget our classmates reunion next week. If you don’t come, our class leader will be very upset.” Diana kindly reminded Edith before leaving.

Casey went back home with Edith carrying the gifts. When they walked pass the entrance of their community, he found that the middle-aged man didn’t come to open his pancake stall today either.

But he didn’t probe into it. When they got into the house, Casey put all the gifts on the table.

Amara walked out the room and saw the gifts piled up on the table. And she quickly walked over to have a further observation.

“Edith, I heard that these are all luxurious goods. Oh my, you must have earned a lot in the last exhibition; otherwise, you won’t have bought these.” Amara exclaimed in surprise.

“These were all gifted by Diana’s Prince Charming. I didn’t spend even a penny.” Edith explained.

Amara widened her eyes upon hearing Edith’s explanation, and asked, “Is her Prince Charming a rich?”

“Maybe.”

Amara quickly shot a glance at Casey, with obvious distain in her gaze, “Hey, nothing-for-good. Do you dare to compare yourself with Diana’s Prince Charming? You can just eat your head off! And these gifts were even presented by other man! Oh my poor Edith, how came she marry you? You crap!”

“I can also send these gifts to Edith.” said Casey.

“Can you afford them? You’re supported by our family, and now you even want to snatch my daughter’s money? If you have such an evil idea, you’d better get out of our house as early as possible!” Amara acted in an aggressive manner.

Seeing that Amara started to scold Casey without reasons again, Edith became impatient, “Mom, if you say these again, I’ll be angry.”

Amara pouted and stopped scolding Casey. All of a sudden, as if she had thought of something, she blurted out, “By the way, Edith, your uncle Dempsey Wong visited us today, and fancied our TV. He told me that this TV is of a limited edition, and he has been longing for it. But he had no access to get it even he could afford it.”

“He said he can pay 40,000 CNY to buy it from us. I was thinking that we can earn 2,000 CNY by selling it to Dempsey, for we bought it at a price of 38,000 CNY. So I agreed and let Dempsey take away the TV.”

Only at this moment did Edith and Casey find that the TV in the living room had been replaced by an old TV that they had used in the past.

Edith blamed her anxiously, “Mom, how can you sell the TV without my consent? This was gifted by Ca…!”

“Oops, my dear daughter, it was gifted by you, I see. And I appreciate your good intention. But it has a big screen, and I am not accustomed to it. It’s good if I can cash in on it.”

Edith was speechless at the moment. The TV was bought by Casey. Even if she wanted to sell it, she should obtain Casey’s consent.

"Mom, you are a dotard. Do you have an idea about Uncle Wong’s characteristics? He’s an eloquent liar. You gave him the TV, then what about the money he?" Edith asked.

“He said he was in short of money recently, and that he’ll give it to me several days later.” Amara replied.

Edith rubbed her temples helplessly. She had known that Uncle Wong would give such an excuse. She was afraid that they could get the money several years later.

But the key of the problem was that, her mom sold the TV without the approval of Casey.

“Mom, do you forget it? Last time when Uncle Wong borrowed money from us, he even refused to return it after five years. Dad tried every possible way, but only got back 70% of the money. Uncle Wong is a rogue. Why did you give him the TV? At least you should ask for my opinion before making that decision!” Edith was so angry that she gritted her teeth hard.

“Ah? Oh Edith, I just recall it. But he had taken away the TV. What should we do next?” Amara asked with an innocent appearance although she knew deep down that she was wrong.

Edith was so angry that she didn’t want to talk with Amara anymore; instead, she glanced at Casey apologetically.

Casey smiled at Edith and comforted her, "It's okay."

They then came back to their bedroom. Edith gave Casey an apologizing look and said, “I’m really sorry. My mom is just a block-headed dotard, and I have no way to persuade her. I’ll try to return you the money of the TV.”

"Don’t treat me as an outsider. The TV was presented to your parents and it’s of course at their disposal. I don’t mind it." said Casey.

"But, Uncle Wong is a rascal. He took away the TV, yet he won’t pay a penny for it. Probably we can’t get back the money. My mother is so confused. Why was she so stupid to believe in that big liar Uncle Wong?” Edith sighed.

"Uncle Wang? Is he the one who visited us before?" Casey asked.

Edith nodded.

Casey had an ambiguous impression of Uncle Wang. That man was indeed a rascal. And if they forced him to return the money, he would break the bottom line, or even pretend that you have led to his heart attack, and then asked you to pay the compensation.

He was a man as annoying as Amara.

"Don't worry about this. I can get back the money." said Casey.

Edith was a little surprised. But as she thought that Casey had surprised her a lot recently, she chose to believe in Casey.

She then left this matter behind. After going shopping for a whole day, she felt extremely tired.

Just as she was about to massage herself, the feeling she had when Casey was massaging her yesterday flashed across her mind.

She turned her face to steal a glance at Casey, and then hesitated, “Hmmm… Casey, can you give me a massage again? I felt good last night.”
