The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 135

All the people in the living room were shocked as the silence descended the villa.

Francis swallowed and stumbled to take the invitation, saying in a thrilled tone, "Please tell Mr. Hugo that I feel appreciative to be invited to his family dinner." The man in suit nodded and left the villa.

All eyes were on Casey as it was surprising to find the Grey family sent an invitation here.

"Is it because of Casey? How could he ask the Grey family to do this? It's said the Grey family has finished sending invitations," someone said.

Edith looked at Casey in surprise, not knowing how he made it. She was sure that he hadn't left the villa. Did he call the Grey family to send the invitation?

"It has nothing to do with Casey. I just watched him and found him standing there doing nothing special. So, I'm sure the Grey family sends the invitation out of respect for us," Albie said.

"Of course. It doesn't make sense if he's the reason that we've got the invitation. He contributes nothing here," lots of people agreed.

Casey took out his phone and shook it, explaining, "Wake up, morons! It's 21st century, and they came here to send the invitations due to my phone call."

Albie rolled his eyes. "Save it! It's impossible you've got their number. Don't you remember what did you do to the Young Master Gray?"

"Yep. The Gray family won't treat you well as you pissed them off yesterday. How dare you!"

"They invite us to the dinner for our enhanced power."

…

Casey was too disappointed to explain as they'd never trust him.

Francis felt much better as the Gray family's invitation lit up his day, and he didn't care about Casey at all.

"Grandpa, it has nothing to do with Casey," Albie told Francis.

Francis nodded. "Of course, we're no less than other families. Obviously, the Gray family wants to make friends with us."

"Why not put him out on the street? He's useless to us now," Albie said.

Francis shook his head. "Not yet. Casey had a good performance on the projects of the TY Group, and the Gray family didn't hold a grudge against him."

Albie didn't agree with his grandfather as he thought Casey would be kicked out.

"Grandpa, I don't think it'd be a good idea to leave him with us as he's just a useless liar. He knew the Gray family would send us the invitation, and he proudly stood outside as if he's our savior," Albie said.

Francis shook his hand. "Enough. Let's pay more attention to the invitation. I'll bring some family members to the dinner together, but the number is limited."

People instantly gathered around him as they all wanted to go to the dinner.

Albie was exasperated as he didn't believe Francis could let go of Casey.

"Grandpa, you can take anyone with you but Casey, who'll definitely disgrace our family," said Albie.

"Ha-ha! Casey said that he'd been invited by the Gray family. He doesn't have to go there with your grandfather," someone taunted.

Francis cast Casey a hard look. "The dinner is not a party for fun. Neither Casey nor Edith's family can go to the dinner with me. Due to Casey's misbehavior yesterday, Edith's family are punished."

Amara and Nicolas thought they'd get a chance to make friends with the powerful from the Gray family, but it seemed that they were daydreaming.

They glared at Casey as they blamed him for the punishment.

To be honest, Francis didn't plan to take them even if Casey behaved himself yesterday.

But Edith didn't care about it as she wasn't interested in the dinner.

"Nicolas, take your family home. Tell Casey to behave himself," Francis said to Nicolas.

Amara and Edith said, "Let's go home."

The four people walked out of the villa as others all looked at them with taunts and snorts.

When Nicolas left to drive their car out of the parking-lot, Amara angrily pinched Casey in the arm, yelling, "You monster! Hadn't it been you, we'd have been allowed to go to the Gray family's party. You'd ruined everything, and you have to pay for our loss with cash."

Edith looked at her mother with surprise as she had never thought her mother could be so malicious.

"Mom, are you insane? Grandpa won't take us to the party even if Casey did everything right. Why should Casey pay for the loss?" Edith questioned Amara.

"Whatever it is, I just know Casey's in debt to us. If he doesn't give us the money till tonight, he'll sleep in the street," Amara threatened.

Glaring at Amara, Casey really wanted to slap her in the face if she was not his mother-in-law.

"Don't you remember that I'm the one paying for the property costs. I can leave and sleep in the hotel, then you'll have to pay for it on your own," he said coldly.

Amara immediately changed her mind. "Casey, you bastard, how could you threaten me with the dirty tricks!"
