The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 140

Francis didn't expect Hugo would be so rude to him. He was embarrassed and stunned.

Albie, Nyla and other people from the Patel family looked at Hugo in amazement. Actually, it was that Hugo invited them to come. However, he humiliated Francis in public, which was a bit too much.

Nyla was somewhat irritated, and stepped forward, "Mr. Hugo, since you sent us an invitation letter, it means that we are qualified to be here. What do you mean by saying this?"

"Yes, although the Patel family is not as great as the Gary family, we can't be humiliated by others. If you have no concerning for us, why do you invite us here?" Albie was also full of anger.

Hugo glanced at them with a sneer. Just now their attitude towards Casey had already let him know that these people didn't know Casey's identity, and they didn't have a good relationship with Casey.

So, he didn't need to be polite to the Patel family.

"Don't be ingrate. I invite you over because of Mr. Casey's intention. If he didn't tell me, do you think you are qualified to participate in the Gary family banquet?" Hugo said coldly.

His words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of the Patels.

Francis' stiff body retreated to the back, swaying, and almost fell to the ground.

Albie and Nyla hurried over to support Francis, and they were also shocked.

"This... how is this possible, it was really because of Casey that we were invited to the dinner?" Nyla murmured.

"He is obviously just a jerk, why would Mr. Hugo think so highly of him?" A sense of frustration rose in Albie's heart.

"Am I, as the head of the Pater family, not as good as a jerk?" Francis said with a trembling voice.

At this moment, every one of the Patel family had a mixed feeling, and they didn't want to believe that they were inferior to Casey.

However, Mr. Hugo had already said that if it weren't for Casey, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to come here.

There was no doubt that his words were an insult to them.

At this time, many people around moved away from the Patels subconsciously after hearing what Hugo said.

Mr. Hugo gave the Patels cold shoulder, so naturally other people wouldn't associate with them anymore.

Hugo turned around, looked at Casey and Edith with an apologetic look, and said, "I'm really sorry, it's causing you trouble again. This is my fault. If you have any dissatisfaction, please tell me. I will try to make up for you as possible as I can."

"Well, we are fine," Casey said.

Hugo breathed a sigh of relief when Casey didn't care.

"Mr. Casey, these people from the Patel family seem to be unfriendly to you and your wife. Do you need me to kick them out?" Hugo asked.

Casey shook his head and said, "No, let them continue to attend the dinner. After all, we are also from the Patel family. I don't want us to get deadlocked."

"Okay, then I just ignore them." Hugo nodded.

Casey and Edith didn't want to worry about this anymore. They walked to the veranda, and talked.

Albie's look turned resentful again.

He glanced at Casey on the veranda, gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know why he is so lucky. He actually is favored by Mr. Hugo. I was mad at seeing his proud look."

"Being favored by Mr. Hugo, so what? He's just a stooge. When Mr. Hugo is in a bad mood, he will kick him away. There is nothing to show off," Nyla said.

Both people agreed that it was lucky for Casey to get support from Mr. Hugo, and Mr. Hugo was only on a whim and would lose his interest in Casey in a few days.

The Patel family condemned Casey silently, thinking that it was Casey, who humiliated them at the Gary family dinner today.

It took a long time for Francis to calm down. He sighed helplessly and said, "Let's go. Since they didn't invite us sincerely, then we don't need to stay here."

"But they didn't drive us away. Grandpa, this dinner is a rare opportunity, let's stay a while," Nyla said.

Francis glared at her immediately and said, "Damn, are you not ashamed of it enough? Let's go right now!"

After speaking, Francis turned and walked outside, no one came to keep them.

"It's all Casey's fault," Nyla muttered. Then she followed hurriedly, and left.

Soon after, Hugo began to introduce to everyone the people he invited over in advance. The main function of the dinner was to expand the network. With the introduction of Hugo, the value of those people would become much higher, then there would be many people who wanted to make friends with them.

Hugo also planned to introduce Casey, but Casey didn't want to make any friends here, so he rejected Hugo.

"Unexpectedly, the greatest appraiser of J City would also come to this dinner. Seeing is believing. Mr. Abraham, we like to collect some antiques. However, in appraising treasures, we are definitely not as knowledgeable as you. So, how about doing your staff to teach us something?" Someone asked.

Suddenly, many people began to booze.

Abraham laughed when they heard the crowd joking, and said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, then I will show off my skill. If anyone has a collection that is not sure of the authenticity and year, you can bring it to me to see."

"I have one here. It just so happens that I went to the antique market today to buy some treasures, please give me some advice, Mr. Abraham!" a slightly fat middle-aged man said with a smile.

He immediately asked his attendant to bring a box. There were many rare antiques inside.

At this time, Caleb glanced at Casey. He was indignant when he remembered Casey's arrogant words in the living room at that time.

Although he lost to Casey, Abraham could win. Casey also said he wanted to compete with him, and it was a good chance to embarrass Casey.

Caleb took a step forward, leaned into Abraham's ear, and said, "Master, didn't Casey still say he wants to compete with you at that time? Why don't you take this opportunity to frustrate him?"

Abraham also remembered what Casey said in the living room at that time. As an industry leader, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of a junior, so he nodded to Caleb.

Caleb immediately smiled expectantly, and then said loudly to everyone, "Guys, maybe you don't know about Casey, who was almost caught by Young Master Gary just now. He was actually a great appraiser and issued a challenge to my master."

"Since my master wants to show his skill now, how about letting them have a competition, and we can also have fun?"

Everyone agreed immediately, shouting for Casey and Abraham to compete.

Caleb turned to look at Casey, and said, "Casey, do you dare to compare with my master?"

Casey smiled and said, "Your master can't beat me. You are getting him into trouble."
