The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 39

Dempsey was sitting on the sofa and appreciating the TV worthy of 38,000 CNY, triumphantly.

It was the first time for him to watch such an expensive TV. Although he didn’t know well about how to use it, he knew deep down that expensiveness means high quality.

“Amara is really a fool. Hahaha, she even believed in the bullshit that I was willing to spend 40,000 CNY to buy the TV. To earn the price difference of 2,000 CNY, she sold me the TV without hesitation.

“Now this TV belongs to me. If they come to press for payment, I’ll tell them that I have no money. Haha I can delay the payment for four or five years in this manner. Then I will return the TV to them. Oh, I can use this new TV for free for several years. I am so smart!”

Dempsey was complacent to his trick. Actually, he had frequently used this trick to fool others in recent years.

Just as he was watching TV leisurely, he suddenly heard that someone was knocking on the door. He sat up and walked over the door. When he saw that it was Casey, he slammed closed the door mercilessly.

Casey hadn’t expected that Dempsey would ignore him, so he knocked on the door again.

Dempsey opened the door impatiently, and said angrily, "Why are you keeping knocking my door? It’s annoying. I don't welcome you. You can leave."

Everyone in J City knew that Casey was a nothing-for-good. And Dempsey, a rogue, had always looked down upon him.

“Uncle Wong, I come to ask for the 40,000 CNY for the TV. You have taken away the TV, shouldn’t you pay it?” said Casey.

“What the hell. Who you think you are? How dare you to come to press for my payment? Casey, we all know your position in the Patel family. Would Amara ask you to come? I guess you must come here to deceive me.” Dempsey said contemptuously.

Casey frowned, thinking that Dempsey was really a rogue, and his words were kinda humiliating.

"Uncle Wong, no matter who comes today, you should pay the payment." Casey continued to persuade him patiently.

He thought that if Dempsey would pay the payment, then there was no need to call Morgan and his men here. But if Dempsey refused to pay it, they he would ask Morgan to teach him a lesson.

Dempsey was annoyed. Originally, he intended to argue with Casey, but he then rolled his eyes as an idea popped into his smiled, and smiled at Casey.

"Well, I see. Thanks for your special visit. Rest assured, I will send the money to Amara personally tonight." said Dempsey.

Casey was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Dempsey would suddenly change his mind and promise to send the money.

Originally, he thought that Dempsey would argue with him, and would not agree to pay the payment.

Now that Dempsey had agreed to pay the TV, there was no need to ask Morgan and his man to come upstairs.

"Thank you, Uncle Wong. We’ll wait for your visit." said Casey.

"By the way, Casey, can you do me a favor? I don't know how to use this TV." asked Dempsey.

Casey walked over, taught Dempsey how to use the TV, and then went downstairs.

Seeing Casey coming downstairs, Morgan and his subordinates immediately greeted him and asked, "How’s it going, Casey? Do you need our supports?"

"No need for the time being, you can go back first, and I will call you when I need you." Casey replied.

Morgan nodded, and left with his men.

At night, Dempsey performed his promise and paid a special visit to Amara's house.

Amara was surprised to see Dempsey as she thought that he was here to give her the money, so she was so happy and immediately invited him to come into the house.

Dempsey sat down on the sofa and began to eat the food on the table, as he was in his own house.

When he finished eating, he leaned against the sofa leisurely.

Amara was a little anxious as she saw him acting like this, so she asked tentatively: "Dempsey, you have taken my TV back and watched it for two days. And the payment..."

"What!" Dempsey suddenly yelled, "How dare you to mention the TV? How dare you to expect me to pay it? Originally, I wanted to give you the money, but now, I won’t give you even a penny for it.”

Amara’s heart missed one beat upon hearing the words. Edith and Nicolas also walked over hurriedly, wondering what was wrong.

"Dempsey, what's the matter. TV is a new one." Amara said anxiously.

"It’s true that the TV it’s new, and I have had a good watching experience. Originally, I intended to give you the money tonight." said Dempsey.

"Then what's wrong with it?" Amara asked in confusion.

Dempsey turned to glare at Casey and said, "The TV has been performing well, but today, Casey visited my house and asked for the payment from me. I told him that I should give the money to you personally, Amara. But he then walked over and pressed some buttons of the TV. When I turned it on again at night, I fought that it was broken.”

Both Amara and Edith widened their eyes in shock. They hadn’t expected that this was the case.

Until now did Casey understand why Dempsey suddenly changed his mind before and asked him to turn on the TV. He hadn’t expected that Dempsey would play this trick to frame him.

"By the way, Amara, I have to tell you that Casey is so mean-spirited. He visited me today to ask for the money. Do you know about it?” asked Dempsey.

Amara shook her head, and her face flushed with anger.

"He told me that it was you who asked him to press for the payment. As far as I can see, I guess he wanted to take the money without your permission, and as the proposal was refused by me, he deliberately broken my TV. Why is he so bad? Ah, you actually have such an ill-intentioned son-in-law while you’re supporting his life.” Dempsey exaggerated the details to spice up the story.

Amara suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pointed at Casey’s nose, and shouted at him, “Casey, you son of bitch. We have supported your life over the past years. But I hadn’t expected that you are scheming to take away our money. I must have been blind to choose you as my son-in-law!”

"Mom, I have to make an explanation." said Casey.

Edith also didn't believe that Casey would do this kind of thing. The TV was gifted by Casey, so it was reasonable even if he went to press for the payment.

"What’s the need for your explanation? Dempsey has told me all about what has happened, will he lie to me?" Amara lashed out angrily.

"Mom, don't be too anxious to draw the conclusion. Let’s listen to Casey’s explanation first. He won’t do such kind of thing. Plus, the TV…” Edith tried to defense Casey.

"Plus what? I’ve told you that this son of bitch is evil-spirited. A fox cannot hide its tail; Evils cannot be covered up. We now finally find his scheming!”

Amara turned to look at Casey, and questioned, "I just want to ask you, did you visit Dempsey during the day? And did you touch the TV?"

Casey nodded and said, "Yeah."

Amara regarded this answer as a confirmation of what Dempsey had said, and said to Edith, "He admitted it himself. What’s point to discuss on it then? Edith there, you should divorce him, and go to go through the divorce procedures tomorrow. We can’t keep such a villain in our home!”
