The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 98

Everyone looked at the driver with a puzzled look.

"Where did he say we are going?"

"Hazelfield Estate? Did I mishear? Or is there something wrong with my ears?"

Nyla stood up and asked the driver again, "Sir, are you sure we're going to Hazelfield Estate instead of the suburbs?"

"Yes, Casey asked me to drop you off at the Hazelfield Estate." said the driver.

The crowd gasped. They thought they were going to the countryside, so they hired a car, but the driver was taking them to the Hazelfield Estate.

Was it possible that Casey bought a house in Hazelfield Estate?

Albie stared at the driver and felt he was not joking.

"Did Casey say why you send us to Hazelfield Estate?" asked Albie.

"No, he just asked me to take you there." said the driver.

"Amara, is it possible that Casey really bought a house in Hazelfield Estate?" asked a woman.

"I don't know," Amara said, "It is my first time to see the house he bought, but is it possible that he bought a house in the Hazelfield Estate? I don’t think so."

She also looked in Edith's direction, but Edith was closing her eyes having a rest, and did not want to talk to them.

"How can Casey afford to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate? God knows what he's going to do. Let’s wait and see." Nyla shrugged.

She never believed Casey could afford the Hazelfield Estate houses, so she simply thought Casey was playing tricks.

"Nyla is right. He must be fooling us. With his ability, how can he have money to buy a villa?"

"Hazelfield Estate is the most expensive residential area in J City. Even Mr. Patel was not able to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, not to mention Casey."

After gossiping, they reached the consensus that Casey could not afford to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, and that he was fooling them.

Albie squinted at Edith and thought that since that she had already bought a Land Rover, and if she did buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, she must have taken a lot of money from the project.

Even though he was working on a project with Edith, he didn’t have the guts to get so much money at once.

"Well, I hope you didn't buy the Hazelfield Estate with the money you get from the project, or I'll have a good reason for grandpa to kick you out of the Patel family this time!" A sinister smile appeared on Albie's face.

"Do you think Casey would rent a house in Hazelfield Estate to save face?" said a man.

"Most likely. He won't be able to afford it, so he'll rent it for a while, and he'll show it off in front of us for the sake of face." Someone agreed.

When Amara and Nicolas heard what they were saying, a moment of embarrassment passed over their faces.

They came up with the idea of renting a house, but Edith stopped them. Now it was lucky that they didn't, because it was easy to be revealed.

"Casey refused to let us rent for a house, but he rented one in Hazelfield Estate himself. Someone had seen it through now. It must be Edith who paid for it. We have to get it back later." Amara gnashed her teeth.

"If it's in the Hazelfield Estate, it's not rented. Houses there will never be rented." Albie said.

Hearing this, a group of people became more confused. Since the houses there couldn’t be rented, why did Casey send them to Hazelfield Estate? Did he really buy a villa?

"We'll see when we get there. I don't believe he can afford to buy a villa in Hazelfield Estate anyway." When one man spoke, the rest nodded.

A short time later, the bus stopped in front of the Hazelfield Estate, and the people got off the bus.

Casey was already waiting at the gate of the community when he saw the Patel family getting off the bus and he immediately went over.

Edith, relieved to see Casey, went up to him and said, "These guys went too far. They didn’t believe that you bought a house here and they even mocked you."

"Well, never mind," Casey said with a smile. "They will believe it when they see it."

Edith nodded. With Casey here, she felt at ease, which was one of the reasons she couldn’t live without Casey.

"Casey, what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you going to show us your house? Why did you bring us here?" Nyla said.

"Don't tell me you're going to take us around the Hazelfield Estate. I'll go back right away." Jakub shouted.

"The house I bought is in there," Casey said, smiling at the crowd. "Let's go in."

Everyone looked incredulous when Casey said that.

"Who are you fooling with? The house price of Hazelfield Estate is so expensive that you don’t even afford a piece of land." Nyla blustered.

"Casey, don't embarrass us. What the hell are you doing? Are you going to lose face today?" Amara ground her teeth.

"The Hazelfield Estate is not where you can go and leave at your will," he said, "The security here received strict train. With so many of us getting in, we might get arrested." Albie smiled.

The crowd was shocked, and immediately a lot of people thought Casey was so evil.

"Casey did it on purpose," Someone said. "He will be very happy if all of us are caught."

"You're right. I think he wants to get back at us with the security guards."

Amara immediately approached Casey and asked, "Are you malicious? What are you doing tricking us into this Hazelfield Estate?"

"I'm not cheating. The house I bought is in there." Casey said.

He was speechless for what they thought. Why did they think so complicated?

"Look, there's a bunch of security guards out there. They're not coming for us, are they?" Nyla's mother pointed to the Hazelfield Estate.

There was indeed a security guard team over there heading for the gate.

"Let's go quickly. With so many people blocking the entrance to the community, they will definitely drive us away. If we are really treated as disturbance to the security of the community, we will be in trouble." Jakub said.

Edith also gave Casey a confused look, wondering why the security appeared.

Casey smiled and said, "It's okay. The guards are here to welcome you."

Casey had informed the Security Department that his relatives would come to visit him later.

After learning that Casey bought one of the ten most expensive villas in the district, the security guards immediately said that they would welcome Casey's relatives and make them feel at home in Hazelfield Estate.

Casey said they didn’t have to do so, but the head security guard said it had to; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Casey and he insisted that his men would line up to welcome his relatives.

Casey couldn't resist the head’s enthusiasm and agreed.

The guards at Hazelfield Estate were carefully selected, and many of them were veterans, so they were self-disciplined.

When the guards reached the door, they quickly turned into two rows, standing opposite each other in neat rows at the gate.

The people of the Patel Family looked at the guards with a strange look. They were not out to arrest anyone.

"What are these people for? Why are there two lines at the door? Aren’t they going to arrest us?"

"It doesn’t seem like that. They should not arrest people for no reasons, right?"

"They came out to welcome us," Casey explained when the people were afraid to enter. "In a legal society, they can't arrest people at will. Even the security guards at the Hazelfield Estate only keep the community safe."

Casey's remarks were met with disdain by the crowd.

"What a shame to tell such a blatant lie. Who do you think you are? Do you think you are so powerful enough to have the security guards of the Hazelfield Estate line up to welcome you?" Nyla curled her lips.

"Well, Casey probably goes insane and has the illusion that the security guards are out to welcome him."

"Casey, can you stop embarrassing me? It’s your luck that they are not to arrest you. And you go too far to think that they are welcoming you. How shameful it is!" Amara also stared at Casey in disgust.

When no one believed him, Casey shook his head. He looked at Edith and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Edith hesitated, but nodded.

Casey gave a satisfied smile and took Edith's hand and led her inside.

Amara immediately stopped her, because Edith was her daughter, and she didn’t want Casey to trouble her daughter.

But she was a little afraid that the security guards would catch her, so she hesitated but did not go in with Casey and Edith.

Casey took Edith to the gate and walked through the guards.

At that moment, all the guards bowed and shouted, "Welcome home!"

Edith was startled, but reacted by giving Casey an admiring look.

The security guards actually lined up to welcome them.

How could it be? With so many residents living in the Hazelfield Estate, the guards couldn't have lined up to welcome everyone, could they?

This only showed that Casey was a very honorable man in the Hazelfield Estate.

The relatives of the Patel family, on the other hand, were stunned. The Patel family, Amara and Nicolas opened theirs mouth wide in surprise.
