The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 110

Casey reached out his hand to touch Diana's forehead for checking whether she was pretending to be drunk or not. He cleared his doubt soon. Her forehead was so warm, and obviously she had drank too much and came out of the club without any protection from the cold wind. She was as poor as a little bird at that time.

He looked at Diana who had passed out, feeling a bit helpless.

Diana did not tell him where her home was, and he absolutely couldn’t send Diana back to his house.

If he took Diana back to his villa, Edith would definitely be suspicious about their relationship, and Diana would definitely talk nonsense to Edith once she woke up. Thinking of that, Casey had determined not to take Diana back to his home.

Then after a long thought, Casey could only take Diana to the hotel, letting her have a good sleep and then go home the next day when she was awake.

With this in mind, Casey looked around the surroundings and found a hotel not far away, so he walked Diana to there.

Diana fainted and lost her consciousness, Casey could only let her body lean on him, and the two were so close that they looked like a couple.

Getting into the hotel, Casey went to the reception to book for a room.

When the receptionist was helping their check-in, they couldn’t help but keep looking at Diana.

The fainted Diana looked like she was getting drunk by someone, and the receptionist glanced at Casey with suspicious eyes, thinking him as a bad guy who loved picking up the drunk girls.

The receptionist’s contemptuous gaze made him a little uncomfortable. Although he was not interested to Diana, but he just couldn’t stopped others’ judgemental look.

"Casey, don’t you want to take advantage of me, but pretend not to care, do you?" Diana suddenly said.

Casey thought she had been awake and immediately looked down at her and found that she still had her eyes closed. She was only talking in her sleep just now.

The receptionist's gaze towards Casey became even more bizarre and asked, "Did she come with you voluntarily?"

Casey was full of embarrassment, because he did not want to explain too much, so he nodded his head.

The receptionist revealed a mysterious look and gave Casey his room card after he finished the check-in.

Casey hurried to get Diana to the elevator and then take her to the room. He put her on the bed and was about to turn around and leave.

"I... I'm so cold."

Diana curled up into a ball, shaking with cold.

Seeing this, Casey had to go over and wrapped her with a quilt.

Just when Casey reached for the quilt, Diana suddenly got up to hug Casey and drag him on top of her.

Feeling Diana's body temperature, Casey was a bit panicked, even though he was as calm as a robot for the most of his time. But sucking into this situation, he was a little bit out of control, unaware of what was going on.

"Don't leave me, please." Diana murmured.

Casey took a deep breath, and then forcefully pulled Diana's hand out of his waist. He swiftly helped her wrap with the quilt, then left the room immediately.

He is a normal man with desire, if he had Diana done whatever she want, there would be a big trouble. He just couldn’t let it happen.

After Casey left the room, Diana, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stretched her body, and then gave a mysterious smile on her face.

After Casey left the room, he gave a sigh of relief, and then quickly walked downstairs.

When he walked out, the receptionist looked at him, full of shock, but he didn't bother to explain anything. He went directly to the entrance of Starry Night Club to pick up his car and drove off.

The receptionist stared at the receding figure of Casey and muttered to herself, "that fast? He can't be having a kidney empty that affects his function force, right?"

When he returned home, Amara and Nicolas had already gone to bed to sleep. Casey sneaked into his room and gently turned on the light, but being surprised to see Edith sitting on the bed.

She did sit on the bed with both hands hugging her knees, staring blankly.

But the moment Casey turned on the light, Edith quickly laid down on the bed and said, "You're back, I am awake just because I went to the bathroom just now, not waiting for you, good night."

When Casey heard Edith's words, he couldn't help but smile, and a sensation of warmth suddenly filled his heart. He knew his wife was waiting for him but just too shy to admit it.

He didn't expect Edith would wait for him until he came back, no matter how late it was. The feeling of being loved and always having someone waiting you at home made Casey feel touched.

He laid down next to Edith, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and whispered, "Thank you."

Edith just turned over, saying nothing to her husband.

Casey then stopped talking, and shortly, he fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Casey thought Diana would have come to tell Edith about last night after she waked up, and he had been ready to explain to Edith, after all, he did have a decent reason to go to Starry Night Club not for fun, but for a business.

But she didn’t come to Edith, and for two days after that, there was no more news from Diana.

Casey assumed Diana knew she was just making trouble out of nothing, and had no reason to come to Edith. He then took a sign of relief.

And Edith did not ask where he was that night. In her defence, she believed her husband. If he said he went out for a business, then she should trust him.

That afternoon, in the villa of Patel family.

Albie and Nyla were sitting at the opposite side of Francis, and there was some files on the table, which was the "evidence" they had found.

"Grandpa, please take an eye on Edith, she is really an unrestrained monarch in the company now, it's only been a short time since she took over the project of TY Group, and she is almost emptying the whole company." Nyla said.

Francis glanced at her and said, "Edith has always been a reliable child, and she is dutiful, and always conscientious in her work. She knows what should be done and what shouldn’t, how could she have emptied the whole company."

When Nyla saw that Francis did not believe her words, she was very angry, thinking that Edith did a really good job of disguise in her daily life. She obviously took so much money from the company to buy a house and a car for herself, but grandpa did not suspect at all.

"Grandpa, what Nyla said is true, what Edith usually shows in front of you is just her act, she is very scheming. It is because she does not want to be discovered by you that she acts as a good girl in front of you." Albie added.

"That's right, after Edith took over the TY Group project during this period of time, she not only bought a car, but also a house, it's really unforgivable. We have found the evidence, just check it if you don’t believe us." Nyla handed the evidence she found to Francis.

Francis raised his eyebrows and said, "The profit of the TY Group project is quite promising, Edith is the person in charge of the it, it is reasonable for her to take some rewards. The last time I went to her house, I did think it was time for her to change to a new house."

Nyla responded indignantly, "Grandpa, you're defending for Edith without looking at the evidence we found, that's really unfair. The villa she bought is a super luxury villa, which is a boutique villa from Hazelfield Estate, worth 15 million."

Francis's heart sank after hearing this, then he glared at them and said, "What are you talking about! Edith bought a boutique villa from Hazelfield Estate?"

Albie and Nyla nodded their heads together.

"The evidence is right here, feel free to check for yourself." Nyla opened the file for Francis to look through.

Francis quickly read through the transaction records Nyla and Albie had found. And after he was convinced that the villa she bought was indeed a boutique villa from Hazelfield Estate, his unwilling suspicion turned into fury.

"How dare Edith to take the company's money to buy such an expensive villa?!" Francis's voice became a little shaking with anger.

"Yes, and not only did she buy it, she also deliberately invited us to visit it, you didn't even see how arrogant she was, she's using your money." Nyla added as if she wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"But why are all the names written on this are Casey's?" Francis asked with some confusion.

Albie immediately explained, "Grandpa, Edith used the company's money to buy something, it's definitely not good to write her own name, she asked Casey to buy it in case there was the time to make excuses for herself."

"That's right, that day she insisted that the villa and the car were bought by Casey, she just treated us as a fool. How could that loser Casey afford such an expensive car and villa." Nyla said disdainfully.

Francis frowned and remain silent for a while, thinking what they said did make sense.

He always thought that Casey was just a man live off a woman, who came to their Patel family for their money, of course there was no way he could have the money to afford such an expensive villa.

"It's just that Edith usually works so hard, and she's been a good girl since she was a child, how could she do such a thing?" Francis still couldn’t accept it.

"Grandpa, Nyla has already said just now, she just pretends as a good girl in front of you, in private what she really looks like, you can’t tell." Albie said, "I have seen her true ugly face with my own eyes, she is quite scheming, and very interested in our family's property."

Nyla blinked her eyes and immediately added, "That's right, grandpa, the reason why Edith agreed to let Casey join the family was because she could stay in the Patel family and inherit the Patel family's property in the future, otherwise how could she marry that loser Casey?"

"And Casey is such a loser that he probably was just a tool for Edith, now the two of them are scheming together. One does the dirty thing and the other covers for her. She said Casey bought all these things, but she is the one who uses them. I heard that the car they bought, they don't even let Casey touch it, how can this be bought by Casey!"

Albie peeked at Nyla, and both of them smiled at each other as if they were complimenting each other on how good the words they made up.

"Grandpa, the TY Group project can no longer be managed by Edith, if this continues, she will sooner or later ruin our whole family. She is a woman, and she should have married someone and out, then she should not have the right to inherit anything from our Patel family." Albie said with a face full of grief.

Francis totally believed the words of the two, and was trembling with fury that his face even turned to purple.

He angrily threw the files on the table and said in a cold voice, "Go and send Edith over to me, I want to ask her face to face, if the villa and the car were really bought by her with the company's money, I'll kick her out of our Patel family!"
