The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 546

"Miss Edith, the guy who offended you at school that day is so evil! I'm so poor!"

The moment Emma entered Edith's bedroom, she began to cry. However, her aggrieved expression was not visible because her face had swelled up.

Edith was previously lost in thought. She had been thinking about the person she met at school that day. Although Darius had already convinced her that that person was just a fraud, she still couldn't help thinking that that person wasn't just a fraud.

After hearing what Emma said, Edith was immediately back to reality. After she turned her head and saw the injury on Emma's face, her expression immediately changed.

"Emma, what happened? Who harmed you?"

Emma came close to Edith and said with an aggrieved expression, "It's the guy who tried to fool you at school that day."

Edith immediately frowned and asked, "What on earth happened?"

Emma immediately changed her mood and said between sobs, "That day, that guy approached you and said those strange words. After that, Mr. Sue asked someone to carry out an investigation, finding that that guy was a fraud. However, I thought that he might have some difficulties, so I wanted to ask him why he claimed you to be his wife."

"Today, I came to him. According to my plan, if he said those words to you only after he was driven to despair, I would give him some money from my own pocket, so that he could at least afford to buy something to eat. Then, he could go to find a job. In this way, he would no longer cheat others and therefore wouldn't cause any trouble to others."

"However, this evil guy claimed that I looked down upon him and immediately beat me, seemingly because I showed up his fraud. I couldn’t resist at all. He slapped me in the face without any mercy dozens of times. Finally, he even forced me to admit that you were his wife. If I didn't do as he asked, he wouldn't let me off."

"Miss Edith, he is the most terrible devil I've ever seen. He's so evil, giving me no chance to talk and just beating me hard."

"I had intended to help him out of kindness, but I ended up being injured. I'm so poor!"

After saying that, Emma, who had superb acting skills, cried again.

What she said just now was of course made up. She could only make Edith pity her by saying so.

She was not afraid that Edith would get to know the truth later. In her opinion, since Darius would deal with Casey in person, Edith would never get to know the truth.

After hearing what Emma said, Edith put on a somewhat angry expression. She didn't expect that the person she met at school that day would be so evil that he injured Emma badly.

It seemed that that person was really a fraud. The thoughts she had should be wrong.

She stood up and took Emma by her arm. Then, she sat down on the bed with Emma. She took a close look at Emma's face, finding that it was indeed caused by hard slaps. Seeing that, she really believed what Emma had said and put on a look of sympathy on her face.

"Emma, I'm so sorry. That person is so vicious that he beat you, a girl, so hard. I have thought that he had come to me because he really knew me. Now, it seems that he really want to cheat me." Edith said.

"Miss Edith, it doesn't matter that I'm hit by him. I'm just very happy that you haven't been harmed by the guy with ill intentions." Emma said in a seemingly impassioned way.

"No, it matters. I'm somewhat responsible for your being injured like this. Later, I'll ask my father to compensate you for it. You really suffered a lot." Edith said.

Emma pretended to care only about Edith, but she was secretly happy. She thought: this time, Miss Edith would definitely detest that damned guy; and even if he really came here to look for Miss Edith, Miss Edith wouldn't see him anymore.

Edith didn't know the truth. Since she was here, she had been under the protection of the Sue family. How was it possible that she could know that Emma was so vicious?

In the afternoon.

In Darius's study.

A person was standing in front of Darius with a stack of documents. There were a few words on the cover: The Investigation Report of Casey Davies.

That person directly put the report on Darius's desk and said, "Mr. Sue, I've completed the investigation of the man named Casey Davies. He used to be Miss Edith's husband. When Miss Edith lived in J City, she married him."

After hearing that, Darius immediately frowned. Before, he sent someone to investigate Casey because he wanted to know who Casey was after Emma was beaten by Casey.

Unexpectedly, when his daughter didn't lose her memory, Casey was really her husband. After knowing it, Darius couldn't help being lost in thought.

J City was a small place. In his opinion, it was impossible for people of J City to find out that Edith was now in H City after he took Edith from J City to H City.

It was beyond Darius's expectation that people from J City found where Edith was after such a short time.

He had got a new identity for Edith. Now, she was his daughter, Sylvie. And others should believe that Edith was dead. No one would know that they were the same person.

Even people of the Nelson family didn't know that Edith had married someone in the past. Darius had concealed it very well from others.

However, now, Casey found Edith. He had to reconsider how to deal with it.

Sitting on the back seat of the taxi, Casey was looking out of the window while thinking about the phone call he had received before.

The head of the Sue family wanted to meet him.

Hearing it, he was a little surprised. After all, in his view, the head of the Sue family would not reason with him in person purely because he beat a maidservant up.

So Casey soon thought of a possibility: the head of the Sue family carried out an investigation into him because of what had happened to Emma and therefore guessed his purpose of coming to H City.

The head of the Sue family was going to talk about Edith with him in this meeting.

Casey was willing to meet this person who might be Edith's biological father. He was a little curious about the origin of Edith and would like to take this opportunity to ask why Edith was abandoned in the past.

The driver gave Casey a glance in the rear-view, mirror asking, "Fella, are you really going to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel? I hear that it's a luxury five-star hotel. People who have dinner these all have hundreds of millions of dollars."

"Yes, someone invites me to a meal at that hotel and I have to go." Casey replied with a smile.

"Oh, look, you begin to brag. When you got on the car, I took a look at you. You're in plain clothes, and therefore you don't look like a rich man. Fella, listen, you young people tends to throw money to keep up with the Joneses. In fact, you don't have to. The food in greasy spoon in the alley is cheap and delicious. Why do you go to Waldorf Astoria Hotel, instead of greasy spoon? If you have no money to pay, you'll be forced to wash the dishes there. At that time, you'll know that you're wrong." The driver began to lecture Casey possibly because he hadn't chatted with others for a long time.

Casey was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't mind. He joked, "To be honest, I can afford to buy the Waldorf Astoria Hotel."

The driver immediately widened his eyes and said, "You young people are better at bragging than I do. If you can really afford to buy that hotel, why would you go there by taxi? How dare you boast like that?"

Casey smiled and didn't say anything more. He didn't brag. The reason why he chose to take a taxi was that he liked to do so.

Before long, the taxi stopped at the door of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. After Casey got off the taxi, two attendants immediately approached him and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Davies?"

Casey nodded.

"Please come with us. Mr. Sue is waiting for you in the hotel."

Then Casey entered the hotel with them.

Seeing this, the driver immediately widened his eyes and murmured, "My god, there is really someone inviting him to a meal at this hotel. This young man is not an ordinary people."
