The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 89

The salesgirl was stunned when hearing Hunter’s words. She looked at Casey from head to toe, wondering if he could really afford a house here.

But she still asked in a polite way, "Sir, do you really intend to buy a house here? If you do, I will lead you to a house tour right away. If not, I am afraid I still have something more important to deal with."

Casey looked at the salesgirl and replied, "I will buy a duplex house or a villa here. If you believe his nonsense, I am afraid you will then lose a big chance to earn money."

Actually, the salesgirl was quite disappointed when hearing that this man in front of her was Casey Davies as she had heard that Casey was known to all that he was just a wimp supported by Edith. No matter how hard he struggled, no one would believe that he could afford even a house here.

If Casey claimed that he was here to buy an apartment, the salesgirl might still believe it. After all, his wife, Edith Patel, was a member of the Patel family, one of the richest families in this city.

However, Casey claimed that he wanted a duplex house or a villa, which really made her doubt his credibility.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit disdainful against him for his bragging.

Hunter even smiled mockingly when hearing his words. The house and villa in this community would cost at least five to six million dollars. When he still served as a manager in the TY Group, she couldn’t even struggle to afford a villa here, let alone Casey.

He then looked around and exclaimed, "Hey guys, do you see that man standing here? He is the ‘well-known’ good-for-nothing, Casey Davies! He just claimed he was here to buy a villa. What a joke, huh?"

All people in the lobby looked at Casey with disdain. Some of them even laughed out.

"Casey Davies? That wimp supported by the Patel family? How could it be possible that he can afford a villa here? Are you joking me, dude?"

"Jesus, I almost laugh my ass off! I have struggled for so long just to buy an apartment here! That shit even dares to brag about buying a house here! He must be out of his mind."

"Fuck! I would like to see what he is going to do about his brag. What a goddamn crazy bragger!"

"Casey Davies? That’s the wimp you guys always talk about? Look at the rags he wears! I don’t think he can afford a single penny."

Hunter was smug when hearing those gossips. He just achieved his goal to embarrass Casey and waited to see how awkward he would be if he couldn’t afford the house.

Casey frowned, but he didn’t get angry as he had been accustomed to such mockery.

"So are you going to take me for a house tour? If not, I can go for someone else." Casey said to that salesgirl.

Casey nodded without speaking.

If that salesgirl refused to take him to see the house, he would plan to make Charles here buy him one so as to avoid those mockeries.

But the salesgirl was suddenly driven by curiosity. She wanted to see if Casey was just bragging, "Okay, come with me."

She no longer said with respect when knowing the true identity of Casey.

Seeing that Casey still insisted on villas, Hunter followed them with disdain as he also wanted to see what Casey was going to do.

Some of those gossipers also followed to see the upcoming farce.

The salesgirl showed him some models of the duplex houses in the Hazelfield Estate. The houses were all built into four floors. Each two floors were arranged to accommodate a family to live. The space was capacious enough for most families.

"The duplex here costs at least five million eight hundred thousand dollars and seven million for the best. So do you still plan to buy one?" The salesgirl stared at Casey. But she didn’t think he could afford it.

Casey took a glimpse at the floor plan picture and then shook his head, "Though the duplex is spacious enough and it’s equipped with two floors for each family. But I don’t think it’s convenient to accommodate two different families in a single duplex."

Upon hearing that, all onlookers laughed out loud at his exaggerated brag.

"You really make me laugh my ass off. You just said it’s not convenient to accommodate two families in a single house? Why don’t you complain about inconvenience as you are now living in a building accommodating hundreds of people? Are you here to mess around?"

The salesgirl also cast a disdainful look at Casey. She still doubted if Casey was that notorious at the beginning. But now she disdained him even more because of his brag.

"Show me the villa here." Casey said.

The salesgirl didn’t reply and led him to the front of those models of villas.

Those onlookers followed them to expect another bragging of Casey.

"All villas here were built into square shape, family founder with center location in the community. The prices range from seven million to ten million. To be honest, I don’t think you could afford it." The salesgirl said.

"It’s still a bit below my standard. Is there a villa equipped with garden?" Casey asked.

The salesgirl couldn’t help but doubt, "Are you serious? The ordinary villa is expensive enough! Are you going to buy those with gardens, really?"

"I don’t think he could afford it. Just leave him alone. He is wasting your time." Hunter sneered.

Casey suddenly noticed from the map that there were ten villas covering huge area located at the center of the community, which were all equipped with a spacious garden.

"What about these villas?" Casey asked.

The salesgirl took a glimpse at the map where he pointed. Then she said impatiently, "That’s the most luxurious area in the community. Those ten villas form a special area managed by another house-keeping company. All villas in that area are equipped with a garden. But it costs fifteen million for each. Up to now, we have only sold five of them."

"Don’t ever think about it. Only a few powerful men in this city could afford one of those villas." Hunter mocked.

The onlookers around were all stunned by such an enormous price. None of them could afford such a villa even they struggled for a life time.

Casey scanned the floor plan picture of those villas carefully. He noticed that they all looked much better than those ordinary ones worth less than ten million. So he deemed them a suitable one for living.

What was more, the ten villas covered one third of the totally area of this community. Each of them kept a distance from each other, which enabled residents a tranquil living condition.

The salesgirl cast a glimpse at Casey, "So are you going to buy it? I have shown you all the houses and villas. If you still deem them below your standard, I am afraid there will be no satisfying house for you in this whole city."

"Come on, below his standard? He just tried to figure out a decent excuse for himself to run away. Look at the price. I don’t think he can even afford the cheapest apartment here."

"That’s right. He even wants to see the villa area. How ridiculous! If he could really afford it, no one would call him wimp anymore."

Those onlookers all assumed that Casey would quit with the excuse that all houses and villas here were below his standard.

However, Casey pointed at the ten luxurious villas and said, "I want one of them and I will finish the full payment right away."

All people around were stunned by his words as they deemed he would quit with an excuse. No one had expected that he was going to buy one of them with full payment.

"Are you kidding? Each villa here is worth fifteen million!" The salesgirl looked at Casey with disbelief.

"What the fuck? Is he crazy? He deems himself capable enough to afford it?"

"That’s the villa for those top rich guys! How could he be able to afford it?"

"That’s fifteen million! That money is enough for all apartments here! What a bragger!"

Casey then took out his bank card and smiled, "You will know if I was joking when you swipe it for payment."

The salesgirl even seemed to believe his words upon hearing that.

"Take me to go through the procedure." Casey requested.

The salesgirl nodded and took him to the VIP Room to sign the contract and go through all procedures.

Hunter hurried forward. He also wanted to know if Casey could afford that villa.

"I am his friend. So I think it’s okay for me to follow in, right?" Hunter said with a smile.

The salesgirl looked at Casey for his opinion. He just nodded to prove that he was not joking.

The three entered the VIP Room. Then the salesgirl made the manger here to go through the procedure.

Soon, Casey had signed the contract and all procedures were finished. The last step was the payment.

Hunter sneered, "Casey, I didn’t expect you were really bold enough to sign the contract. But if you quit the payment, I don’t think you are allowed to leave simply."

"I would like to see how you are going to pay for the fifteen million!" Hunter then huffed to continue.

Casey ignored him and handed the salesgirl his bank card.

The salesgirl swiped the card on POS Machine with her trembling hands. Then she beckoned Casey to type the password.

When Casey pressed the Confirm button, the salesgirl couldn’t help closing her eyes. It was really incredible for anyone to believe Casey could afford such an enormous price.

If the trade was successfully concluded, the percentage award she got might be equal to her cumulative salaries for ten years.

"Is it okay?" Casey asked.

The salesgirl opened her eyes and looked at the machine. She then exclaimed, "The trade is done!"
