The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 97

When the waiter saw Kieran’s surprised look, he asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be scared."

Kieran swallowed. He stared at the waiter and asked, "Do your members have to buy a house in the Hazelfield Estate before they get a VIP card?"

"Yes, and they must buy at least a garden villa or a normal villa. People with normal houses cannot be our members." The waiter replied.

Kieran felt his face burning and a touch of indescribable embarrassment flooded him.

If so, wouldn't his previous mock of Casey amount to an ordinary person of the King?

"It is impossible. How could he afford a villa here? There must be other reasons." Kieran murmured. It was the only way he could console himself.

Over the next few days, Amara and Nicolas had been nagging Casey to sell the house he had bought and went for a bigger one.

Casey would not agree, and Amara tried to persuade Edith.

Edith already knew that Casey's house was in the Hazelfield Estate and, even if it was really a small villa, it should not be sold.

So, she turned a deaf ear to Amara's words, and just took Amara as air.

When Amara saw that both of them did not listen to her, she scolded Casey every day, saying that he was trying to embarrass them and that he was trying to get back at them.

Amara and Nicolas were thinking whether to rent a bigger house, so as to deal with the Patel family first and then made another plan.

But then Edith turned down their idea, and she convinced them that Casey would not disappoint them.

Amara thought Casey was the jinx sent by god to her family. Edith listened to Amara in the past, but now Edith started listening to Casey.

Amara felt that her position in the family was threatened by Casey. So if Casey did make them lose face, she would try her best to force Edith to divorce Casey.

The last day of the month had come. Casey went to the Hazelfield Estate early in the morning to tidy up the villa, for there would be many people visiting his house.

Amara and Nicolas both woke up with sad faces, as if they were going to face a big ordeal.

"Edith, I'm telling you, if anyone laughs at us when we see Casey's stupid house, you have to divorce him, or I won't recognize you as my daughter!" Amara snapped.

"Casey will not let you down." Edith said nothing more than this, and went away.

Amara stomped angrily and thought her daughter must have been brainwashed by Casey.

After a while, the Patel family came to Amara's house, followed by many relatives who came to watch the fun. There were a total of 20 people.

Because Amara’s house couldn't accommodate so many people, Edith told them to wait downstairs.

Before Casey left, he gave Edith a call, saying that he had rented a minibus, and he would contact her then.

Edith didn’t understand why Casey hired the minibus at first, but then she realized that Casey was expecting a lot of people.

"I heard Casey bought a one-room apartment, but there's no room for us here, not to mention that small shabby house."

"We're not here to see the house he bought. We're here for funny jokes."

"Yes. Casey is stupid enough to think that the house he bought is better than his brother's new house. I don't know what’s on his mind."

"His brother's new house is really wonderful. I envy him."

Nyla preened herself on the praise she had received.

Albie was standing beside Nyla. He also came and saw the joke today. After all, it was because of Casey that he had been a beggar for so long.

"It is so good to have you home, Albie. As soon as you came back, you shared half of Edith's work, or else I wouldn't be able to get any benefit from you and we wouldn't be able to afford the house." Nyla said with a smile.

"That’s what I should do. When you marry into the Davies family, don't forget me." Albie said with a smile.

"Sure. We're on the same boat. We have to let Edith and Casey know that they can’t win us." Nyla answered.

Albie snorted and his eyes narrowed. His hated Casey much. Today, he just came to see Casey's shabby house for some fun. In the future, he would have more ruthless ways to sort out Casey.

Edith came downstairs at this time, and the bus driver had called her that he would be there in a minute, so she had to move her car away to make way for the minibus.

Everyone looked at Edith with a sneer, and some even felt a little pitiful for her for marrying Casey, a loser, and had to live such a poor life.

Edith walked over to the Land Rover, and the moment she opened the car door, everyone froze.

Just now, many people were talking about whose car it was, as a high-end car should not appear in this shabby community. They all thought it was some rich local tyrant visiting their relatives here.

They were so shocked to see Edith have the car key.

"Is this car hers? How can she afford such an expensive car?" Albie gasped.

"She must have taken the money from the project," Nyla curled her lips.

Edith moved the car to the other side, and as soon as she got off the car, a lot of people came around.

Amara's face brightened when she saw the car had given her face.

"Edith, did you buy this car? It's a luxury car."

"Yes, it costs more than one million. It seems that she makes a fortune."

"Wow, if the car is so good, then the house..."

Albie approached and sneered, "Edith, it seems you've been taking a lot of money out of the company's projects. You're driving a Land Rover."

Suddenly, they realized that TY Group's project was taken over by Edith, and they unconsciously assumed that she had bought the car with the money from the project.

"It turns out that she has taken money from the project. Yes, how can she afford a rich car with such a humble salary?"

"She so blatantly took the money. Isn’t she afraid that Mr. Patel will scold her?"

Edith frowned and said, "I didn't buy this car. Casey bought it. Don't talk nonsense."

The people were laughing, clearly disbelieving Edith.

"Edith, do you think we're all idiots? Casey is a loser with no job. How can he afford to buy such an expensive car? Stop refuting." Nyla said immediately.

"Yeah, if Casey can afford this car, I'll just eat shit."

"Don't use Casey as a cover. We know everything. It seems that this project is a good chance to earn money. I should have gone for it!"

Edith was angry. She was just telling the truth, but these people didn’t trust her.

When Amara saw that everyone was gossiping about it, she also thought that Edith was stupid. Why did she have to use Casey as a cover? How could others believe her?

"Edith bought it herself with her own savings, so stop gossiping about it." Amara said.

And then the crowd quiet down a bit.

A short time later, the minibus arrived downstairs. When everyone saw the minibus, they all looked surprised.

"Why did you find a minibus, Amara? Don't tell me Casey bought a house in the middle of nowhere." said someone.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Neither Amara nor Nicolas knew Casey had asked for a minibus. When they saw the bus, their faces were suddenly sullen.

"Where exactly did Edith and Casey buy the house? Why do we have to take the minibus?" Amara asked Edith with a poker face.

"With so many people here, only a bigger car can take us there." Edith explained.

A group of people burst out laughing.

"It seems that I really have to go to the countryside. Casey is so stupid to buy a house in a remote place and show it off in front of us."

"A house in the remote place. Even I can get it for free, I don't want it."

Nyla and Albie looked at Edith with disdain, and Nyla said, "He is so proud even if he just bought a shabby house. I've never seen such a shameless person."

"If you want to go have a look at the house, get on the bus. If not, please go back now." Edith said coldly and got into the car.

She knew what these so-called relatives looked like, and did not want to be polite to them.

Edith had hit the nail on their heads, and they all looked down on her all the more.

"Of course, I'll go. I've never seen a house in the countryside." Nyla got on the bus first.

Everyone followed Nyla. They came for fun. If it was really a house in the middle of nowhere, they would feel pleased by mocking Edith and Casey.

Amara and Nicolas sat in the back. With faces gloomy, they said nothing.

Edith sat next to the driver and, seeing that everyone had followed up, she told the driver to set off.

The bus drew out of the community and went all the way to the downtown.

The people on the bus were puzzled when they noticed that the bus was heading downtown instead of to the suburbs.

"Why is this car getting downtown?"

"Who knows. Maybe we need to go through the city center to the suburbs on the other side."

On the way, Albie approached the driver and asked, "Sir, where are we going?"

"To Hazelfield Estate, don't you know?" replied the driver.

As soon as the driver's words cane out, the noise in the bus instantly quieted down.
