The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 100

Albie nodded and said, "That is right. When Hazelfield Estate was constructing, they built the ten finest villas in the centre, which was an independent area with the best facilities. That’s where the best villa in J City was located."

"But the villa there costs fifteen million. Casey, don’t tell me you are the owner of one of the ten villas," Albie said.

Everyone was shocked after hearing Albie’s words. Fifteen million was about equal to the profit of the whole Patel family earned for two or three years.

They turned to see Casey to hear the answer from him urgently.

"Casey, did you really buy a villa for fifteen million? Don’t try to fool us, it is not so easy to afford such a price," Amara frowned.

Although she wanted to live in the best villa in J City, fifteen million was not a small amount even for the Gray family, let alone Casey. How did he pay such a price?

"In my opinion, he is lying. Is it possible that a loser like Casey can afford a villa for fifteen million? If he could afford it, all the Patels had already lived in a villa like that!" Nyla argued, sounding like she couldn’t accept the fact.

"Yeah. If he could afford such a villa, why are we still living in someplace far from downtown?"

"Yes, indeed. Think about what Casey has done in these years. All he has done was living off a woman."

"Casey, what’s wrong with you? You say you can’t afford a villa like this, but you still bring us here."

Casey glanced at the crowd and said, "We are about to arrive, then you can see it by yourself. There is no need for me to tell a lie."

Then, he continued to walk ahead.

Although they felt suspicious, they still followed him.

"Wasting time with a loser, that’s boring. Do they really believe that Casey bought a villa for fifteen million?" Nyla said with disgust.

"Don’t worry. These ten villas are in an independent area. If he wants to get in the area, he needs to walk through a locked door first. Without the key, he can’t even get past the door. Soon we will find out whether he is lying," Albie smiled coldly.

Nyla nodded. And then the two of them continue to follow him.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the finest villa area. The gate here was made of steel bar, and the whole area was confined by the iron fence.

The entrance card of the community couldn’t open the gate. Instead, it could only be opened with a special key kept by the owner of the finest villa.

"As far as I know, the lock of the gate was made by a top locksmith. There is no way you can open the gate unless you have the keys kept by the owners of the finest villa. Casey, you’d better not fool us," Albie said.

Everyone turned to look at Casey, wondering whether he could show them the key or not.

Casey smiled and put his hand in the pocket. Suddenly he realized that he left the key on the table in the living room of his villa when he was about the leave.

His hand was in his pocket without any movement, which revealed a little embarrassment.

"I made a mistake. I left the door of my villa open, but forgot that the gate here would lock itself automatically," Casey made a bitter smile.

Seeing Casey couldn’t show them the key, they began to suspect he didn’t have the key to this gate at all.

Nyla and Albie sneered. They thought he couldn’t hold on to his camouflage any longer.

"Just open the gate with your key, Casey. What are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you forget to bring your key," Nyla said gloatingly.

"I think he doesn’t even have the key at all! He lies to us about having a villa here but doesn’t recognize that he needs to go through the gate first!" Albie shouted.

Amara’s face suddenly darkened. She stared at Casey and said, "Do you really have the key to this gate? Take it out if you do have!"

"I left the key on the table of my living room," Casey replied honestly.

Albie and Nyla burst into laughter.

"I don’t even feel surprised that you will find such an excuse. Now that you can’t get in to take the key, you will tell us to come home first and put off the visit, won’t you?" Nyla said.

"You play us like a fiddle, Casey," Albie said.

Those relatives were sullen. They felt like they were fooled by Casey.

"I have been wondering why a loser like Casey can buy a villa with this price. And turns out it is only a joke."

"Do you lose your mind, Casey? If you can’t afford it, you just admit it. Why do you lie to us and bring us here? To show us how stupid you are?"

"You are overestimating him by calling him stupid."

The mood of Amara and Nicolas was worse than relatives’. A little while ago, they were enjoying compliments from the relatives, but now the compliments turned to scorns. They couldn’t stand the difference.

"Casey Davies! You are a hopeless loser! What’s wrong with you to lie to us and make yourself a joke! I can’t put up with you anymore! Once back home Edith will divorce you and you will no longer be a part of my family!" Amara shouted hysterically.

Edith was at a loss alongside. She believed that Casey wouldn’t tell a lie, but she couldn’t convince everyone by just talking.

Seeing their fierce reactions, Casey said, "I’m going to bring you the key. Will that make you believe me?"

"Are you kidding? You can’t open the gate here. How do you get in and take the key?" Albie said.

Casey didn’t reply. He climbed over the fence easily and landed on the other side.

A gate like that was nothing to him. He could get into the area easily.

He didn’t lock the door of his villa, so all he needed to do was get in and grab the key.

Everyone was shocked by his behaviour. So were Amara and Nicolas. In their opinion, Casey could do nothing but chores, but now his capability surprised them.

"Casey, what are you doing! You are trespassing on private land! That’s a crime! Don’t get us involved if you want to kill yourself!" Nyla said anxiously.

The relatives of the Patel family were anxious too. What they were worried about was not Casey, but the future of their own.

"Get out of here, you bastard! I don’t want to go to jail with you!"

"Oh no. He will implicate us. If he is arrested and says we are accomplices, we will be doomed!"

Casey didn’t mind their words. He walked to his villa directly.

Nyla turned to look at Edith and said, "Your lunatic husband is going to drag us down! Do something!"

Edith frowned and said, "He won’t do something stupid. I trust him."

"Edith! He is trespassing on private land! If someone calls the police, we will all be involved! Stop speaking for him!" Amara said angrily.

"Shall we call the security guards and let them arrest him? So, we won’t be accused as his accomplices," Jakub said.

Some relatives nodded immediately.

"That’s right. We should find someone to arrest him to get rid of the accusation."

"Let’s call them right now."

Edith was worried. She didn’t expect that these so-called relatives would give Casey up at this critical moment.

Amara grit her teeth and said, "Good. Just rid our family of him, so that we can save ourselves from the troubles he brings."

Albie and Nyla were sneering. They were eager to see Casey got arrested.

In the past, they neither had the chance to witness him committing a crime, nor could impute a crime to him. But now Casey was doing it by himself, which amused them indeed.

"The accusation of trespassing can ruin his whole life," Albie said happily.

"His life should have been ruined earlier. Showing off in front of us all the time with no capability, he doesn’t deserve my sympathy," Nyla said.

After a short period, Casey came out with a key in his hand.

He opened the gate and said to the crowd, "Get in now."

But nobody moved.

"Casey, do you want to send us to prison with you? My dad has called the security already, and soon they will arrest you!" Nyla said.

Casey was puzzled and asked, "Why will they arrest me?"

"Because you broke into someone’s house and stole his key! You will be imprisoned for years!" Nyla said firmly.

Casey was speechless. What he had done was getting into his own house.

In the meantime, Jakub was back with some security guards around him. It was the head security guard who took the lead.

"That’s him! He is the one who broke into the villa! Go get him now!" Jakub said with his finger pointing at Casey.

"More than that, he also stole someone’s key! He has a plot against somebody, and you should take him to the police station now!" Albie added more details.

The director looked to the place where Jakub pointed, and soon he recognized that it was Casey, which made him surprised. He knew Casey lived in here and just walked to his own house after all.

He walked up to Casey in a hurry. The relatives were gloating, thinking that Casey was going to be attested.

But, to their surprise, the director made a bow to Casey and said respectfully, "Mr. Davies, are these people troubling you? Should I arrest them all for you?"
