The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 17

The second Edith saw the Heart of Venus, her eyes grew wide. She had admired this necklace for a long time, and she was almost certain that this was the exact one on TV.

How did Casey have such an expensive necklace?

And shouldn't it be the master of TY Manor to come meet her? Why was Casey here?

Even now, Edith still did not realize that Casey was the master of TY Manor.

Casey held the necklace and walked towards Edith. He had prepared so long for this day, to repay Edith for all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

As Casey approached her, Edith subconsciously took two steps back.

"You... don't come over, first, tell me, what’s going on? Casey, I know you want to make me happy, but you can't do something illegal." Edith said nervously.

She suddenly suspected that Casey might have stolen the necklace.

Casey burst into laughter; to think that Edith thought that he had done something illegal to get this necklace.

"I didn't break the law. I bought this necklace. As for this manor... my friend let me borrow it. I wanted to surprise you by using his name." Casey said lightly.

He originally wanted to say that TY Manor was also his, but considering that Edith might not be able to accept the news, he said instead that the master TY Manor was a friend.

"Why would I lie to you? If I really did do something illegal, I won't even be here in TY Manor." Casey added.

Edith was not stupid, even though she still had trouble accepting all of this, and she couldn’t help to think that Casey might have illegally used the castle of TY Manor.

But the entire venue had obviously been arranged very carefully. Casey would definitely not have been able to pull it off without permission from the master of TY Manor.

And it was the staff of TY Manor who led her here, so Casey must have planned all of this.

If these were true, then Casey may actually have bought that Venus necklace.

Although she had been indifferent to Casey in recent years, they have been together long enough for her to know Casey's personality quite well. She knew that he would not be stupid enough to do something illegal just for a necklace.

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Edith started to feel uneasy.

It turned out that Casey was not as useless as she thought. This man, a good-for-nothing in public, was probably putting on an act.

But because of him, she suffered through so many grievances. In the past few years, she had to endure harsh stares from others, and silently bore all their criticism...

As she thought of this, all of Edith's repressed grievance burst out instantly, and her nose began to sting.

Tears formed in her eyes, and she bit her lip; the sight of her would make anyone pity her.

Casey didn't expect Edith to act like this, and he was at a loss. He stepped forward and wanted to pass the Heart of Venus to Edith. He saw Edith staring at the necklace that day, so Casey knew that if Edith got this necklace, she would definitely be very overjoyed.

Edith stretched out her hand and pushed Casey away, as tears streamed out uncontrollably.

"Casey, you have been lying to me, right? You’re not what everyone says, right?" Edith asked.

Casey sighed, but did not deny it.

"Do you know how much I have suffered because of you these past few years?"
