The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 547

On the third floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Darius was sitting at a table near the floor-to-ceiling window and was looking out of the window.

He had rented the entire floor, so he was not afraid that anyone would interrupt the meeting between him and Casey.

At this moment, there was a confidentiality agreement and a bank card on the table in front of Darius. He was very confident that he could persuade Casey.

Hustling and bustling, all for benefits. He didn't believe that Casey would be an exception. As long as he offered to give enough benefits to Casey, Casey would definitely give up taking Edith back home. If Casey insisted on that, it just meant that the benefits he had offered to give was not enough.

He was well prepared, so he was very confident in one thing: as long as he offered to give this bank card to Casey, Casey would definitely change his mind.

Darius clearly knew how powerful the Davies family was. With the money in this bank card, Casey would be able to make the Davies family two times as powerful as it used to be. If Casey was not a fool, he wouldn't refuse.

Before long, Casey followed the two attendants to the third floor and came close to Darius.

After that, the two attendants were about to leave. Darius took out two piles of money and handed them to them. Both attendants were grateful. After taking the money, they left here quickly.

Casey gave Darius a glance, finding that this middle-aged man was stable and generous, just like what the head of the Sue family should be like. Most importantly, Darius's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Edith. Seeing that, Casey was even sure that Darius was highly possibly the biological father of Edith.

Darius also looked at Casey up and down. Looking at the common young man who had no distinguishing features, Darius couldn't help despising him and hardened his resolve to keep Casey away from Edith.

"Sit down." Darius spoke to Casey.

Without making the ritual noises, Casey sat opposite Darius.

"If you're smart, you should know why I ask you to come here. So I'm not going to talk in a roundabout way. Edith's my daughter, and I don't want any people and anything that used to be related to her to bother her again. If you come to H City to find her, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Now, she's the young lady of the Sue family. I can support her for a better life. I hope that you'll never bother her again." Darius came straight to the point.

Casey smiled, saying, "She's my wife."

Darius frowned and said, "I don't care about what the relationship between you and her was in the past. Now, she has a new identity. Past things have already had nothing to do with her. If you want her to live a good life, you shouldn't come to find her."

"Oh? I have a question. Why are you eligible to say those words to me?" Casey behaved in a playful way. Since Darius was not going to talk it over, Casey was not going to be polite to him.

Darius immediately sneered and said, "I'm her father. I'm naturally eligible to say those words to you."

"Ho, ho. In the past more than twenty years, Edith has been living in J City and I've married her for several years. I've never heard that you're her father. If you're really her father, in the past more than twenty years, where have you been? Now, you want to take her away from me by just claiming yourself to be her father. It's too unreasonable for you to do so."

Darius was obviously a little unconfident, but he soon returned to a normal state, saying, "In that year, I was forced to abandon Edith. She could be said to be my illegitimate daughter. At that time, my wife was still alive. If she lived in my home, she would definitely suffer. So I had to send her mother and her to the north. I did it for her own good. Moreover, I'm her biological father, and we have blood relation. Considering only this, I'm eligible to make a decision for her."

Casey didn't expect Edith to have such experience in the past. She should be the illegitimate daughter of Darius!

However, after hearing what Darius said, Casey was more convinced that he couldn't let Edith stay in the Sue family. Edith was sent to the north simply because she was his illegitimate daughter. And Darius even claimed that he did it for Edith's good.

It should be noticed that Nicolas found Edith near a trash bin. He didn't know why Edith's mother ruthlessly abandoned her, but there was just a few possibilities.

If Edith, who was still a baby at that time, was not found by Nicolas, she might have died at that time. And Darius should be chiefly responsible for it.

According to Darius, the reason why he took Edith home was that his wife had passed away. Anyone would feel angry after hearing such an absurd reason. But Darius was very confident that he was right when he said these words. Casey couldn't understand Darius's thoughts.

"In the past so many years, you have nothing to do with her life. In the final analysis, you're but her biological father. Besides, Edith's foster parents had found her near a garbage can. If she was not lucky enough, she might have died. Now, how dare you say those words? Aren't you ashamed?" Casey scolded Darius.

After Darius heard it, his heart did a flip. He didn't expect that Edith would be left around a garbage can. He had never thought of it. In that year, he concentrated on concealing the fact that he had an illegitimate daughter from his wife. How was it possible that he would be concerned about Edith?

"You want to handle this matter with money, so I'll follow your example."

As Casey spoke, he took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table and in front of Darius.

Darius gave Casey a glance with a suspicious expression and said, "Don't you think it ridiculous for you to do so in my presence?"

"Why would it be ridiculous? You want to settle this matter with money. I also want to get Edith back by giving you money. Is there anything wrong with that?" Casey said with a smile.

Darius sneered and said, "There is 30 billion dollars in my bank card. Do you think it possible that you can change my mind with a little money?"

"There is a hundred billion dollars in my bank card." Casey said tonelessly.

Darius was froze for a moment. He was shocked after hearing the number. Even he, the head of the Sue family, would attach some importance to a hundred billion dollars.

"How about that? These money should be enough to sway you. Give Edith back to me, and I'll forgive your past misdeeds. I'll leave here with Edith and try to help her revive her memory. In the future, she will definitely have nothing to do with the Sue family." Casey said.

Darius took a deep breath. He found that he couldn't immediately refuse. It meant that he indeed wanted to take the a hundred billion dollars.

The reason why Darius tried every means to flatter the Nelson family was that he wanted to develop the Sue family. However, even if Edith was married to someone of the Nelson family, the Nelson family would definitely not give the Sue family a hundred billion dollars.

A hundred billion dollars was no match for the benefits he could get from the Nelson family. However, with these money, Darius could implement many of his ideas. Most importantly, in this way, he didn't have to grovel to people of the Nelson family.

After thinking for a moment, Darius sneered and said, "Do you really consider me to be silly? To get a hundred billion dollars, I'm afraid that you have to sell most property of the Davies family. Do you think that I'll believe that there is a hundred billion dollars in that bank card after you said it casually?"

Casey smiled and said calmly, "You can ask someone to come here to audit the accounts. If there isn't, I'll immediately leave H City and I'll never come to find Edith again."
