The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 12

In the room, Edith was exhausted as she lied on the bed. She started to play with her phone.

“My wife, the owner of TY Manor didn’t mention that he would invite Nyla. Since she is so proud of herself now, she might suffer from humiliation if things don’t work in her favor.” Casey tried to comfort her.

“No matter who he’s inviting, it’s definitely not me, so you should stop talking about this. It’s annoying.” Edith replied.

When Casey heard that, he didn’t continue the conversation for now. He started to imagine how big a surprise she would receive on the day of the antique exhibition.

“Wow, this necklace looks so pretty.” When Casey was spreading out the mat, Edith suddenly broke the silence.

Casey was curious about it so he took a glance at the screen of her phone and saw that she was talking about a magnificent necklace named ‘Heart of Venus’. This necklace was going to be auctioned off tomorrow.

An idea suddenly sprang up in Casey’s mind. He was planning to set a romantic setting on the day of the antique exhibition and confess his gratitude towards her for the past three years. And it seemed like he was lacking a present now.

“This necklace looks quite pretty, do you like it?” Casey tried to gauge her desire.

Edith replied helplessly, “No woman can resist this at all, but it’s too expensive for me. The lowest bidding price for it starts at ten million Yuan, so it is not something I can even imagine to own.”

“Actually, you can dream about having it sometimes, doing that doesn’t cost you anything at all.” Casey continued.

Edith immediately rolled her eyes at him as she retorted, “What can I gain from dreaming about that? Are you going to give me as a present? Let’s not think about unrealistic stuff, you should sleep now.”

After saying that, Edith switched off her phone and went to sleep on the bed.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Casey’s mouth. He had decided to win the bid for this “Heart of Venus” necklace and give it to Edith as a present.

The next morning, Edith was busy preparing for the antique exhibition while Casey went to the city center of J City, where the “Heart of Venus” necklace was going to be auctioned off in an auction house.

Casey bought a cap from some roadside stall and tried to disguise his attire so that nobody would recognize him.

Shortly after, the auction house was slowly filled up with a crowd and there were a lot of expensive cars parked near the entrance. Those who were joining this auction were all from a noble or wealthy background. Everybody was wearing elegant and beautiful clothes except Casey, who was wearing cheap clothes bought at roadside stalls. He was pretty out of place there.

When he reached the entrance of the auction house, a few men in black suits were examining the people entering the auction house.

Casey went straight towards the entrance but he was stopped by those men instantly.

“You should pick up rubbish somewhere else, this is a high-end auction event. You should look at yourself in the mirror and see what kind of ridiculous clothes you’re wearing now. Do you think you can simply enter this kind of place?” One of them shouted at Casey.

Casey looked at him and said, “I’m here to join the auction.”

The two men were stunned briefly by his words before bursting into laughter.

“Do you think we are blind? Look at your attire, they probably cost at most a hundred Yuan. This is a high-end auction event where every item’s starting price is at least a million Yuan. Do you really think you can afford them?”

“Enough, let’s not talk nonsense with this fool. We should get him out of here so that he won’t affect other guests.” One of them suggested.
