The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 88

Edith felt hilarious when hearing her words, "Come on, Diana, what are you talking about? How could you be someone’s mistress in the modern society?"

Diana took a glimpse at Casey, wondering if there was any response from him. However, she was quite frustrated when seeing Casey remain calm as usual.

"Okay, I was just joking. You know he has such a bad name in this city. I don’t want to be his mistress at all." Diana stated.

Edith heaved a sigh of relief when hearing that. Now she cherished Casey as her own treasure. Of course she wouldn’t want a rival.

"Well, you know what, I have met Leyla Bennett two days ago, one of our classmates. Now she has a rich boyfriend. Do you know how complacent she was that day? She even mocked you in front of me, saying that such a beauty like you even married a wimp. I really wanted to slap her arrogant face!" Diana huffed.

Edith only replied with a smile, "Whatever. I still live a happy life. And do you still deem him a wimp good-for-nothing?"

Diana took a look at Casey. Honestly speaking, she didn’t think he was a wimp anymore. But she still couldn’t figure out why Casey chose to keep a low profile even though he was actually a powerful man.

"Anyway I still hate her! Do you still remember what she had done to you at school? She always slandered you because she was jealousy of your beauty! That was really disgusting!" Diana huffed and then continued, "And she even claimed that she was eager to meet you again! She must plan to show off her rich boyfriend in front of you. And I heard that her boyfriend was about to buy her a new house."

"Okay, stop it. Time for lunch." Edith said.

Diana nodded and started to enjoy the food.

Meanwhile, a man in rags with messy hairs and haggard look was walking on the plaza of the railways station of J City.

Those passers-by couldn’t help looking at him and gossip about him.

That man cast a murderous look when hearing the gossip around him.

He was none other than Albie Patel, who was forced to be a tramp in the South by the order of Casey. He had been saving money secretly and happened to seize a chance to get a train ticket to run away. Then he managed to return to the J City.

During those few months as a tramp, he had been living a poor life. What was worse, his uncle, Adolph Patel, didn’t even care about him. He didn’t go to ask Adolph for help. Neither did Adolph care about his miserable situation.

Thus, even the Patel family deemed that Albie had been training himself with the help of Adolph. No one knew that he was forced to be a tramp.

If it weren’t for the chance he seized this time, he might have to be a tramp for a life time.

"Fuck! Casey, Edith, you asshole! I wouldn’t have suffered so much if it weren’t because of you!" Albie murmured to himself, "This time I will definitely revenge on you, Casey Davies! Then you will know how it feels to be a tramp!"

"I need to clean myself up and go to see grandpa. Casey, you asshole! Just wait and see!"

One day later, the Patel family all knew that Albie was back. Of course, Albie didn’t reveal his suffering during these months. He only claimed that he had been trained by Adolph for a few months.

His grandpa, Francis, noticed that Albie was much more mature. So he praised Adolph for his excellent training.

If Francis were aware that Albie actually lived a poor life as a tramp during those months, he would be totally stunned.

Casey wasn’t too surprised when he knew that Albie had been back. After all, living like a tramp for a few months would be a heavy punishment.

Of course, he wouldn’t mind making Albie suffer again if the latter dared to offend him for a second time.

However, on the day Albie came back, Francis announced that both Albie and Edith were granted to manage the cooperation project with the TY Group.

Upon hearing such a decision, Edith was quite dissatisfied. But Francis insisted that Albie had been mature and capable enough to handle the project after training for a few months.

Edith had no choice but to give in. Fortunately, Albie didn’t cause her any trouble when he came back this time.

On the weekday morning, Casey noticed Edith looked a bit sullen.

So he asked, "What happened? Do you have something bothering you in your mind?"

"It was all because of Albie. I have so many things to deal with when he came back. He did nothing and sometimes even meddled with my business! He is so annoying." Edith complained.

"If you don’t want him to meddle with the project, I can tell my friend in the TY Group to get him out."

But Edith shook her head, "No need to do so. Just let him be if he doesn’t mess up. We should take the project as priority."

Casey nodded. He had planned to make Charles get Albie out of the project if he dared to mess around. If Francis insisted, Casey could threaten him by cancelling the project.

"Let’s go to have a house tour today. If we happen to encounter a suitable one, we can buy it today." Casey proposed.

Edith hesitated, "But I think we need to figure out the down payment first, right?"

"Don’t worry. I can afford it." Casey smiled.

Edith nodded and was about to go with Casey. But she suddenly received a call from the company. And she had to deal with some problems related to the project on her own.

"I have something to deal with in the company. You can go for a house tour yourself first. If you find a suitable one, you can get it paid first." Edith suggested.

Casey nodded and the two went out of the house. Edith went to the company while Casey went for a house tour.

Since they lived in a community located at the suburban area, it took quite a lot of time to commute. So Casey would prefer a community in the urban area.

He had browsed some information on the Internet. Then he finally confirmed to pick a house in an urban high-grade community. So he hailed a taxi and went there.

It was a community named Hazelfield Estate, the most upscale community of the J City. Most areas in the community were full of villas and duplex houses. Only a few departments were located in part of the community.

Due to the wonderful landscape and convenient location, the housing price of the Hazelfield Estate had mounted to more than thirty thousand dollars for per square meter. Such a high price enabled the community to be the top place in this city.

As all villas and houses here were big and deluxe, so except for the apartments, even the cheapest one would cost five to six million.

As soon as Casey walked into the lobby of the sales center, a salesgirl with delicate face came forward.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I want to buy a house here." Casey said.

Her eyes immediately glistered with happiness. She then was about to lead Casey for an apartment tour as she thought that Casey might not be that rich enough to afford a house or villa judged by his mediocre clothes.

But suddenly, someone said behind Casey, "Hey, Casey, why are you here?"

Casey turned back and found that it was Hunter.

Hunter sneered at him, "Please don’t tell me you are here to buy a house."

Casey stared at him and replied, "You are right. I am here to buy a house."

Hunter laughed out loud, "Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know how expensive the houses are? How could it be possible that you can afford a house here on your own!"

"Oh? Do you think so? But I don’t think an office worker like you can afford a house either. So what are you doing here?" Casey teased.

Hunter’s face darkened at the thought that he just got a demotion.

When he worked as a manager before, he bought a one-bedroom apartment in the Hazelfield Estate. But now he lived a hard life as he just suffered a demotion because of an order from Charles. In order to get some money, he had to sell his apartment here.

So that was the reason he went here today.

"It’s none of your fucking business! I wouldn’t have lost my job if it weren’t because of you! Just wait, I will definitely revenge on you!" Hunter huffed.

The salesgirl hurried to reconcile, "Sorry sir, loud talking is prohibited here. Do you still need to go to see the house here?"

Casey nodded, "Yes."

Then the salesgirl was about to lead him away.

But Hunter stopped that salesgirl with a sneer, "Don’t believe his brag. He could not even afford a house here! You are wasting your time."

The salesgirl was stunned and took a glimpse at Casey with doubt.

"I won’t waste your time. I will pay for it today if I find a suitable one." Casey answered.

Hunter sneered again and fixed his eyes on Casey, "You are getting better and better at bragging about yourself. Do you take all the money Edith makes as soon as she took over the cooperation project with our company?"

Casey glared at him, "Get out of my way!"

However, Hunter ignored his warning but turned to look at that salesgirl, "I know you might suspect that I was just messing around. But what I said was all true. He can’t afford even a single apartment here."

"Have you heard the story of the well-known wimp, Casey Davies, in this city?"

The salesgirl nodded, "Yes."

Hunter sneered evilly, "He is exactly the wimp named Casey Davies. Now do you still think that he could afford an apartment here?"
