After applying for the bank card, the staff in the bank deposited the two hundred thousand in the card. Casey and Jennifer left the bank with backpacks with more than three million cash in them.
Casey carried two backpacks on the left and the right. The other backpack was carried on Jennifer.
It was the first time that Jennifer felt that money was so heavy.
"Casey, do we really just carry them back like this? What if we are robbed?" Jennifer asked.
Casey said with a smile, "Don't worry, no one dares to grab my money. Besides, it's only more than three million dollars. It’s not much."
Jennifer was shocked. Three million was not a lot of for Casey! How the hell rich Casey was!
She swallowed and followed Casey with the backpack on her back. Since Casey was not afraid, so she had no need to be afraid.
Casey walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. Then he put three backpacks in the trunk. When the driver saw it, he felt weird. He was thinking why that two people were carrying three large backpacks. He didn't know what they were doing.
Not long after getting in the taxi, Casey's cell phone rang. It was Edith's call.
"Where are you now?" Edith asked.
"In the taxi, what's the matter?" Casey replied.
"I just remembered that today is my Mom's birthday. Some of my Mom's friends come to our home with gifts. How about you go to buy some gifts? My Mom's friends like to gossip. If they know you don’t prepare a gift for my Mom, they will definitely gossip behind your back." Edith said.
"Okay, I’ll handle it." Casey replied.
After hanging up the phone, Casey thought about it seriously, but he didn’t know what gift to buy for Amara.
Moreover, it was inconvenient for him to go shopping with the cash of the three big backpacks. After a little consideration, Casey thought that the cash of the three big backpacks was a great gift.
Amara liked money the most. She would definitely be very happy if she received the cash of three backpacks.
In central villa of Hazelfield Estate.
At this moment, Amara was looking at a few women in front of her who were about her age with a smile on her face. These people were all her old friends. They had not been in contact for several years.
Today, a group of them came to Hazelfield Estate suddenly with gifts, saying that they would celebrate Amara's birthday. All of them were very active.
The reason why they suddenly paid a visit was that they learned from other friends and acquaintances that Amara was now living in the central villa in Hazelfield Estate.
The villa here was a symbol of status. The reason why these friends of Amara gradually broke off with Amara before was because they felt that Amara didn’t have any values to them. Now Amara lived in the villa in Hazelfield Estate, which meant her identity suddenly rose. These people naturally wanted to fawn Amara.
Amara herself had forgotten when her birthday was. If these people hadn't come, she would have never remembered her birthday.
"You shouldn’t have bought so many gifts. I’m so flattered. I don't lack anything. You guys can come here frequently in the future. Let me entertain you guys. Just tell me whatever you want." Amara smiled and looked at everyone.
"Today is your birthday. Of course we have to give you gifts. I have to say that your changes in the past few years are really big. In a blink of an eye, you have already lived in such a big villa. If it weren't you, we are afraid we will never have the chance to see such a good house in our life." A woman who seemed to be the eldest said.
They were all Amara’s good friends. There were five people in total. So they were arranged in order of age. The one who spoke just now was the eldest. Amara was ranked the third.
"Yes, Amara, it’s your son-in-law who bought this villa, right? He's really promising. We have no chance to live such a good place like here." Sis Amy said.
She actually knew that Amara's son-in-law was Casey, and also knew Casey's reputation in J City. So she just wanted to know Casey’s current situation.
After all, they were very jealous that the living conditions of Amara's family had become so good. In order to find a sense of balance, they could only mock Casey.
Amara's face immediately looked terrible when she heard Sis Amy mention Casey. Early this morning, Casey said that he would go to withdraw the cash to give it to her. But now, Casey hadn't come back yet.
She thought that Casey must be fooling her. That wimp could not get 3 million cash to give her. At that time, she had already decided that if Casey came back without cash, what would she do to drive Casey out?
But not a long, her friends came here. So she didn't have the time to care about Casey.
Now, hearing Sis Amy mention Casey, Amara felt angry. Of course her expression looked not good.
"Don't mention that trash. This villa was bought by my daughter. It has nothing to do with him. In fact, I didn’t like that trash a long time ago. I'm thinking of driving him out." Amara said.
"Could it be that your son-in-law still has nothing to do now?" Sis Amy asked.
"Yes. He doesn't do anything all day. But he still brags in front of me about how rich he is. I think his money is secretly given by my daughter. He has no ability at all. Where can he get the money?" Amara said angrily.
Several people looked at Amara sympathetically, but they were a little happy in fact. In their opinions, although Amara lived in such a good place, she had such a useless a son-in-law, which was enough to let her be upset.
"It’s really a bit annoying. I heard that Edith is now the president of the company. If Casey is still so unpromising, he really is a bit unworthy of Edith." Sis Hallie said.
At this time, Edith came over with the fruit. She frowned when she heard Amara blame Casey.
"Mom, you're talking bad about Casey again. You said that this villa was not bought by Casey. Could it be you who bought it? Who gave your jewelry? All the money we spent when we went out to play was Casey’s. Don’t you feel it a bit inappropriate to say such words?" Edith defended Casey.
"Look, my daughter just knows to speak for that wimp. Every time I talk about Casey, she will definitely quarrel with me. I think that Casey has brainwashed her. My daughter almost doesn’t treat me as her mother." Amara complained.
"I'm telling the truth. Even if I become the president of the company, it’s all Casey's help. Don't speak ill of Casey." Edith retorted.
"His help? Then why doesn't he become the president himself? It's just because he can’t." Amara muttered.
