The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 91

"This place is not so good. A little worse than Hazelfield Estate," Casey said.

Once hearing his words, Amara and Nicolas showed an expression of disdain on their face.

"Now you are talking about Hazelfield, aren't you? Who do you think you are? It is the place for the wealthy, so I don't need you to tell me Hazelfield is better," Amara replied.

Nicolas echoed, "Just remind yourself what kind of place you are living in before comparing here with Hazelfield. Don't act like you are living in a luxurious community."

Casey remained silent. In fact, it was incorrect to say that he didn't live in Hazelfield because he did own a house there. But he just bought it recently and hadn't paid a visit yet.

They walked into the inner part of the community. Amara and Nicolas kept appreciating the environment with all admiration in their heart.

The better environment the community had, the more dissatisfaction Amara harbored about Casey and Nicolas.

She always believed that it was because of the incompetence of Casey and Nicolas that she couldn't live in a fancy community.

Soon, they arrived at the building where Nyla's home was. After taking the elevator, Amara led them to a door and rang the bell.

Then, the door was opened by a man. He was Jakub Patel, Nyla's father.

"Hello guys! Please get inside and take a seat. The meal is ready and now you are here at last," Jakub said smilingly. It could be seen that he was complacent.

Amara and Nicolas smiled at him and then walked into the house.

Edith and Casey followed them in. At first sight, they saw Nyla and her mother sat on the sofa proudly, not showing any intention to get up and greet them even though they had noticed the guests.

There were three rooms and one living room in Nyla's home, which was quite spacious and luxurious compared with Edith's home.

"You are so successful to live in such a large house. How admirable!" Amara talked to Jakub.

"Well, we were just lucky. By coincidence, I noticed a friend of mine was selling houses in this community, so I bought one," Jakub said.

"Rather than standing here, let's visit the inside of the house," Jakub's wife said.

Amara and Nicolas walked into the inner side of the house. Every time they saw the different sight of the house, the feeling of envy filled their mind.

Seeing Casey and Edith didn't move, Nyla showed a scornful expression. She said, "You guys are shocked by my house or what? You don't even dare to make a move. Don't worry, it is free for you to visit, for now."

Edith felt offended and wanted to refute Nyla's words. But once she realized that her home was worse than Nyla's, she felt discouraged.

"This house has nothing special. It's not pretty at all," Casey said.

Nyla glared at him immediately. But quickly she thought he was keeping up appearances. "He knows he can't live in such a grand house and feels envious, that's all," She thought.

"You think so? Why not try to get one for yourself? Stop bluffing here, it makes me want to laugh," Nyla muttered.

Edith tugged at Casey's arm, signaling him to stop arguing with Nyla.

In a short time, Amara and Nicolas finished their visit and came back to the living room, with their face revealing all their sense of admiration. People could tell that they were envious of Nyla’s family.

Watching Amara and Nicolas, Jakub and his wife felt more complacent. They meant to make them envious by inviting them to pay a visit.

Since Nyla was punished by Francis because of Casey, the whole family had been resentful to Casey, let alone Amara and Nicolas.

Now, they bought a fancy house, and of course, they should take the chance to show off and let Casey's family know that they were incomparable.

These two families came to the dinner table. Nyla's families were smug and contented, while Edith's families were gloomy and melancholy.

"What do you think of our new house? Thanks to my friend, I could get a good bargain and make it mine. Otherwise, I couldn't afford a house close to downtown. Not a chance," Jakub said with a smile.

"This is a nice house. It is spacious, with beautiful surroundings. I'm envious," Amara replied.

"Huh. Casey just said that this house had nothing special. Your house must be much better than ours so that Casey would say something like that," Nyla said.

Amara and Nicolas’ s face sank and they glared at Casey.

"Nyla, just forget what he said. He is a good-for-nothing who doesn't know what's good or bad. He was just talking crap, that's all," Amara talked to her hurriedly.

"Yeah. Don't mind his words. He was talking crap," Nicolas followed.

Amara turned to Casey and spoke angrily, "Keep your mouth shut if you can't say something nice. Now an incompetent man like you can complain about other's achievements, huh?"

Watching Casey was scolded heavily, Nyla smiled smugly.

Jakub glanced at Casey and thought for a while. Then he said, "This house is ordinary in Casey's mind, so he must have seen something better. Looks like you are doing well these years. Maybe you are planning to buy a house, I assume?"

Before Casey could make his reply, Amara spoke quickly, " Stop kidding, Jakub. Don't you know what kind of a person he is? He doesn't even have a job, let alone a house."

"Well, he was so competent that he could win the project from TY Group. No wonder he distains our house," Nyla said in a sarcastic tone.

"That's a mistake, Nyla. It was Edith who won the project, not him," Amara said.

Edith looked at Amara with her lips clamped, trying to argue with her. But considering that they were in Nyla's place, she swallowed her words.

"Don't be so harsh. Let's hear about Casey's idea. Maybe he really has planned to buy a house, right? Casey?" Jakub said intentionally.

Both Amara and Nicolas regretted bringing Casey here. That was suffering.

"I have bought a house," Casey said.

Amara was shocked. What she was worried about most was that Casey would tell them that he had bought a house. Unexpectedly, he really did.

In terms of Amara, what Casey had bought was just a small room, which was completely no match for Nyla’s house. Telling something like that would only make them feel more ashamed.

Besides, Nyla's families would take good advantage of this.

"Oh, really? I never expected that Casey has bought a house. His house must be better than ours, or he wouldn't say our house is ordinary," Jakub said.

Even though he said so, he didn't believe that Casey bought a better house.

"Of course not. He just bought a small room, and there is nothing to be proud of. Only a loser will take pride in owning a small room," Amara explained embarrassedly.

They came to realize that what Casey had shown off was a room. What a loser.

"Oh, a room. The room must be in Hazelfield, right? No wonder he is so confident," Nyla said.

"Come on, stop making jokes on Casey now. His room was almost on the edge of the city. How can it possibly be in Hazelfield? Even though he had a stroke of luck, he couldn't afford something like this," Amara said, trying her best to relieve her embarrassment.

Casey only felt hilarious. He had never said how big his house was or where it was, but Amara had already made up something like "a small room close to the edge of the city".

"Better than nothing, right?" Jakub said smilingly, "Casey, when are you going to move in? Please remember to invite us to visit."

This was the last thing that Amara wanted to hear.

She spun around to look at Casey, attempting to stop him from talking. But at this time, Casey smiled and said, "Sure. How about taking a visit there a few days later? I will give you the address."

Amara was desperate. She could do nothing to Casey.

"So... Let's take a visit there, " Amara said faintly.

Nyla's families were all having a sneaky smile on their faces. At the time of visiting Casey's small room, they could have plenty of opportunities to laugh at Amara's families.

Edith felt helpless as well. She thought Casey did not have to invite others to visit their small room.

But Casey had already let the words out. There was no way to draw them back.

The visit was scheduled for the last day of this month. At that time, Nyla's families would come to visit his house, and they would know that their house was indeed inferior to Casey's grand villa.

After dinner, Amara and Nicolas couldn't stand the sense of shame any longer. They said goodbye to Jakub and left quickly.

The longer they stayed, the more they felt ashamed for Casey.

When the four of them were gone, Jakub's families burst into a laugh.

"Oh my god, that Casey, he felt so contented of owning a small room. Does he really realize the difference between his plain room and our house?" Nicolas smiled.

"Casey was notorious for his incompetency. He must be a retard so that he gained such fame. Have you seen Amara’s face? So funny," Nyla's mom said.

A sense of cunning was revealed in Nyla's eyes. She said, "Let's see what Casey's room looks like, and then tear his dignity into pieces so that he can never get back on his feet again!"
