The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 20

Jax stopped, after seeing that the man spoke the truth.

Everyone was shocked by what this man said. No one ever expected that it was really Albie who arranged for it.

No one expected that under that circumstances he would continue to lie. Had it been them, they would have spoken the truth after one broken finger.

Furthermore, that man even mentioned Jayden. Jayden was the top three underworld kings in J City. If what he said wasn’t the truth, he wouldn’t dare to say it. After all, Jayden wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

The burglars mentioned Jayden in the hope that Jax would show them mercy. Otherwise, with Jax’s ruthlessness, he might very well have broken all of their ten fingers.

“That’s the truth and everybody heard it for yourselves. I, Casey, has always been above board. I will never do something such as stealing.” Casey said righteously.

Everyone nodded and shifted their eyes towards Albie.

Albie totally couldn’t explain any further as everybody felt that the burglars were now speaking the truth.

“You guys don’t talk nonsense here. You stole the things, what does it have to do with me? Grandpa, they are blindly accusing me!” Albie said nervously.

“We are not accusing you. Why don’t you ask Jayden? We are so damn unlucky to work for someone like you!” The man with the broken fingers endured the pain and said.

Albie swallowed some saliva and didn’t know what to do.

Francis’s face turned blue and obviously believed the two burglars.

But he had always sided Albie. Even if the burglars were sent by Albie, he was helping him get rid of the useless Casey out of the Patel family.

“Enough, this matter will end here. I’m aware of my own grandson. He won’t do such a thing. Send these two burglars to the police station. No one is to mention this matter.” Francis ordered.

It was obvious that Francis was biased towards Albie but those present didn’t dare to say anything.

Edith wanted some justice for Casey. Just now when the burglars said that they were sent by Casey, Francis wanted to drive Casey out of the Patel family.

Now that the burglars spoke the truth and told Francis that everything was arranged by Albie, Francis told everyone not to mention this matter.

This was too unfair to Casey.

But Francis was an authoritarian of the Patel family. If she were to speak up for Casey, it will only enrage Francis further.

“This exhibition was done very well by Edith and my collection wasn’t stolen. You have done a huge contribution and deserve all the credit. Henceforth your salary will double and for your sake, I’ll let Casey this good for nothing remain in the Patel family. Make sure he doesn’t give me any problems.”

Francis knew that Albie carried things too far and used the exhibition to praise Edith.

“Grandpa, this exhibition…” Edith wanted to say that the very reason why the antiques weren’t stolen was because of Casey.

“Enough, the exhibition has concluded. Keep the things properly and help me thank the owner of TY Manor. Albie, stay at home with me these few days and don’t go to the office.”

Francis turned and began walking out of TY Manor.

Albie masterminded the theft of his antiques and he wanted to let Albie reflect on his actions at home.

Albie acknowledged what Francis said and then turned towards Casey and Edith and gave a cold laugh.

“So what if grandpa knows that this was orchestrated by me, I’m his grandson and he wouldn’t do anything to me. Accept the reality, in the Patel family, what I say matters!”

Edith’s expression was furious and wanted to shout at Albie.

Edith looked at Casey helplessly and Casey laughed at her, “Eat, I won’t bother.”

After dinner, Casey went to wash the dishes, and thereafter he went to the bedroom.

He laid the mat on the ground and then realized that Edith was looking at him.

“Why?” Casey asked.

“I’m so sorry about today. I wanted to explain carefully but they will not listen.” Edith was very apologetic.

Casey didn’t take it to heart and laughed, “As long as the problem is resolved. Don’t bother about what others think, since they acknowledge your abilities, that’s the most important to me.”

Edith was very thankful in her heart. What happened today already cause her to have a very different opinion of Casey.

“Oh yes, that Heart of Venus, was it really bought by you?” Edith asked directly.

Casey nodded and didn’t hide it from her.

“You… how do you have so much money?” That necklace was worth forty-five million! Where did Casey get so much money?

“Heh, case-dough?” Casey replied.

Edith was speechless, isn’t your case-dough a bit too much?

She didn’t pursue any further. From the moment they married, she and Casey were clearly delineated. She never asked about Casey’s matters and didn’t care how much money he has as long as its legal, Edith wouldn’t care.

Casey lay down on the floor and Edith looked at Casey and unexpectedly asked, “You, you… is it hard for you to sleep on the floor? Why don’t you…”
