"Casey, are you okay?" Edith asked worriedly, seeing Casey standing there in a daze.
Casey came back to his senses, smiled at Edith, and said, "Nothing, it's probably just a misunderstanding. I'll take care of these things later."
"Misunderstanding? If it is, could they beat me like that? Casey, I was beaten because of you. You made such a big trouble outside, so we have to suffer with you. Do you have any conscience?" Amara said crossly.
"Mom, it might indeed be caused by me, but no one will beat others for no reason, don't you think so?" Casey asked her back.
Amara suddenly became guilty. She was beaten twice because she was sharp-tongued.
"Hmph, don't turn up chicanery, and you actually fooled me to pay a monthly property fee of 100,000 dollars. How can property fee be so expensive like this? You must have deliberately cheated me." Amara said.
"Mom, you asked me to transfer the villa to you. How come I cheat you?" Casey got a little impatient, and Margaret's arrival made him a little disturbed.
Seeing that Casey didn't want to compensate her at all, Amara immediately sat down on the ground, trying to go rogue.
"Girl, look at this damned Casey. Not to mention that I was beaten up, and all our life savings were lost. If he doesn't give me some compensation, you should divorce him!"
Edith frowned, and suddenly felt that the reason why Amara was beaten by others was simply because she asked for it.
"Mom, stop being unreasonable. If you feel that you can't afford the various costs of this villa, return it to Casey as soon as possible, otherwise you will only cause trouble for yourself." Edith said coldly.
She understood that if her attitude softened, Amara would make use of it and wouldn't stop.
Amara immediately stared at her when she heard Edith's words, and said, "Return the villa to him? No way! How could I get beaten for no reason? Not only will I not return him the villa, but he also has to pay the property fee for me."
"Mom! This is too much!" Edith said crossly.
She didn't expect that after Amara had suffered such a big loss, she was still so unrepentant.
Casey sighed, put his hand on Edith's shoulder, and said, "Just do what she said, I will pay the property fee, but only if we move back."
Casey felt that Amara was beaten partly because of him, and it didn't matter whether the villa was his or not, as long as he lived with Edith, it was the same everywhere.
Hearing Casey said this, Amara immediately got up from the ground and said with a smile, "Girl, you heard it, he said it himself. Now give me the property fee for this month quickly. That 100,000 dollars is my savings for my twilight years."
"I don't have that much cash right now; I'll give you later." Casey said.
"You are a smart guy." Amara was glad, completely forgot about her being beaten.
"You are indulging her." Edith stared at Casey and spoke.
Casey smiled, and said, "She is a senior after all. We should give way to her."
"Will there be any trouble with Young Master Gray and that woman?" Edith asked.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. They are coming after me, I can solve it myself." Casey smiled.
"Be careful." Edith warned him.
Casey nodded, and then he said that he had to go out to deal with some things, and then he left the villa.
...
Nocturne Hotel.
The only hotel built on the riverside in J City. It was said that one could see the most beautiful scenery in J City here.
Like TC International Hotel, it was a high-end place. People came and went here are all celebrities or from upper-class.
In the past, this place belonged to the Gray family, and it was a place for self-cultivation built exclusively by the master of the Gray family, Hugo Gray.
But today, this place had a different owner, and all employees of Nocturne Hotel had heard of it, but no one knew who the new owner was, except that it was a woman.
When Casey appeared in front of the gate of Nocturne Hotel, he was wearing a pair of jeans and a vest. He couldn't be related to the word "celebrity" at all.
He walked into Nocturne Hotel. At this moment, two security guards came over and stopped Casey.
"Boy, this place is not for you. Get out of the way and don't affect our business." A security guard said impatiently.
He saw that Casey was wearing so poorly, and he knew he was poor from his look. How could such a poor man be eligible to enter their high-end hotel?!
"I'm here to meet someone, please get informed, my name is Casey Davies." Casey said lightly.
The security guards immediately laughed, and one of them said, "Do you fucking understand human words? Why don't you take a piss and see what you look like? People who come to Nocturne Hotel are big names. Who will be waiting for you loser here?"
"Get lost! Or can you afford it when you affect our guests'mood?" the other said.
Casey shrugged his shoulders, trying to ignore these two and just broke in.
At this moment, a man in a suit came over. He was the lobby manager. The new boss just told him to wait for someone named Casey.
He stopped behind the security guards and asked, "What's going on? Why are you yelling at the gate? Are you afraid that the guests inside will not hear it?"
The security guards immediately behaved themselves and turned to look at the manager respectfully.
"Manager, there is an idiot here who insists on going in. We are just trying to drive him away." One security guard said.
The manager glanced at Casey who was standing outside. He actually looked like a dickhead, so he didn't care much, and said, "Then hurry up and drive him away. I have an important person to wait today. If I ever make a mistake on this, you two will find yourselves in big trouble."
The security guards nodded immediately, and turned to drive Casey away.
Casey looked at the beautiful and gentle woman in front of him, knowing that this was just make-believe.
It was the woman in front of him who slandered him for wanting to kill his mother and seize power, so that he was driven out of the Davies family immediately.
"Since the day I left the Davies family, I had nothing to do with you. To me, you are just a stranger." Casey said.
Hearing Casey say this, Margaret lost the smile on her face, and was replaced by endless indifference.
"Since you said that, then I'll be straight to the point. Come back with me. The Davies family needs you." Margaret said.
Casey curled his lip and said, "When you drove me away, why didn't you think that one day you might need me? You drove me away when I was useless to you, and call me back when you need me. Who do you think I am?"
"About the past, my sister and I have already realized our mistakes. Now I apologize to you. Go back and get prepared. Come back with me today."
Margaret said in an indisputable voice.
"Sorry, I don't accept your apology. I have nothing to do with the Davies family anymore. I won't get involved in your affairs." Casey said.
"Unexpectedly, after staying here for a few years, you became a man who has a backbone, but I heard that you didn't do well here." Margaret sneered.
"Whether I did well or not, it has nothing to do with you. If you call me just to get me back to the family, then I can tell you that you can save your energy." Casey said firmly.
Margaret laughed, and was not angry at Casey's words.
"Since you don't want to go back, I won't force it. By the way, let me introduce to you, this is the master of J City's Gray family, Hugo Gray."
The old man standing next to Margaret immediately took a step forward, smiled respectfully at Casey, and said, "I'm Hugo Gray, glad to meet you."
Casey was taken aback and asked, "Are you Zane's father?"
Hugo didn't expect Casey to say that. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Zane Gray is my son. I didn't expect you have met my good-for-nothing son. This is really the honor of the Gray family."
Hugo knew that Margaret was a big name in a distinguished family of B City, and from the conversation just now, he could assumed that Casey must be an important figure in this family.
But no matter what status Casey had in J City, the Gray family couldn't afford to provoke him. After all, with the power of the Davies family, the Gray family could be put to death.
Therefore he must find a way to curry favor with Casey.
"I can't say that I know your son well, but he is really good-for-nothing." Casey raised a playful smile on his face.
Zane just slapped Amara today. If he knew that his father was nodding and bowing to Casey at the moment, how interestingly he would act like.
Hugo was taken aback by Casey's words, and then he said, "Young Master, did my son provoke you? If he really did, I shall go back and break his leg!"
