The Peremptory Casey Davies

Chapter 40 Play Hardball

Seeing that Casey nodded and admitted his lie, Dempsey sneered in his heart.

“Casey is no doubt a nothing-for-good. He knew that it was a lie, but he couldn’t make it clear. Haha,

even if he could give an explanation, Amara would not believe it.” Dempsey thought to himself.

When Casey visited him in the afternoon, he had the idea to plant it on Casey; in this way, he could

pocket the TV without paying a penny.

He had prepared numerous excuses and lies, but with Casey’s reactions and words, he thought that

the excuses and lies were unnecessary. This nothing-for-good actually proved that his lie was a truth.

"Amara, I agree with you. This kind of person is really scheming. And you must drive him out of your

home.” said Dempsey.

"Dempsey, I really appreciate your favor this time. If it weren't for you, I was still fooled by this evil-

spirited nothing-for-good. How dared he to scheme to snatch out fortune?” Amara looked at Dempsey

gratefully. .

"Amara, you don’t need to thank me. It’s just that I can’t give you the money since the TV was broken

because of Casey. I have to call the maintenance staff to help me fix it. I guess it will also cost a lot.”

Dempsey said in an innocent tone, indicating that Amara should compensate for her.

Realizing that Dempsey was not going to pay the TV, the gratitude on Amara’s face immediately

disappeared. But she couldn’t find an argument to refute him. Dempsey was correct – since the TV was

broken, why should he pay for it?

She passed all the bucks onto Casey. Now in her opinion, it was Casey who caused her to loss 40,000

CNY.

“What a jerk. You’re not motivated at all, and just know how to snatch our money. Now we suffered a

loss of 40,000 CNY because of you. Tell me, what are you going to do with it?” Amara glared at Casey.

"I didn't break the TV, or to be precise, it was not broken." Casey said in a calm voice.

"What do you mean? Do you mean I was lying? Hey little boy, I’m your senior, do you think that I would

play these tricks on you, only to snatch that small amount of money. 40,000 CNY is nothing to me!

Amara, if you doubt my words, you can go to my house to have a check. Let’s make clear whether it

was broken or not!” Dempsey bit his nose off.

Seeing that Dempsey was angry, Amara comforted him, "Dempsey, don't be angry. You know that

Casey is brainless. Don't be bothered by his words. Of course I believe in you."

Dempsey snorted coldly, swung his arms, and said in a cold voice, "I don’t want to waste my time here.

If you don’t believe in me, you can go and check by yourself at any time. If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid

that I would receive more unreasonable accusations.”

After finishing the words, Dempsey turned around and walked out of Amara's house, as if he had just

suffered great grievance.

Amara hurriedly walked over to send him off, and kept putting in good words.

In fact, she kinda doubted that Dempsey deliberately said those words because he didn’t want to pay

for the TV.

But she was a face-saving person, and would never spit out her doubts in front of her relatives.

Comparing to doubting Dempsey, she was more willing to believe that it was that villain Casey who was

scheming to snatch her money.

After sending Dempsey away, Amara closed the door and glared at Casey resentfully.

"You caused me to lose 40,000 CNY. I won’t let you go easily. What’s more, we have supported your

life for several years. Give me 200,000 CNY, and divorce with Edith. Then get out of my house!” Amara

said mercilessly.

Edith immediately retorted, "Mom, don't you think that something was wrong? Casey had told me that

he’ll go to Uncle Wong’s house to press for the payment. So he won’t pocket the money. You’re familiar

with Uncle Wong’s characteristics, why did you suspect Casey?”

"Edith dear, you may know a person’s face but not his mind. Although Casey looks like a nothing-for-

good and a coward, but how can you know what he’s scheming in mind? 40,000 CNY is not a small

amount. We can’t go to your Uncle Wong’s house to have a check, so Casey must compensate for it!”

Edith suddenly felt aggrieved for Casey, and she finally understood what Casey had suffered in her

family in recent years.

"The TV was gifted by Casey. Even if he really broke it, we have no standpoint to ask him to

compensate for it." Edith refuted angrily.

A trace of contempt flashed across Amara’s face. She then said, “Edith dear, even if you want to

defense him, you shall not lie to me. He had been living in our house and supported by us in recent

years. How could he afford such an expensive TV? It must be paid by you.”

Edith felt that Amara was a little unreasonable. It was useless no matter what she said to persuade her,

since Amara had drawn a conclusion that it was Casey who should bear all the consequences.

Amara glanced at Casey said, "You are really a nothing-for-good. Even if this happened, you were still

hiding behind my daughter, forcing her to put in good words for you. If you could afford such an

expensive TV, my daughter wouldn’t have had suffered a lot since she married you.”

"I will help you get the money back." said Casey.

Amara pouted and refuted, "Don't brag. Don’t you have any idea of your real capability? Dempsey was

a well-known rogue. I would rather believe that sun would rise from the west than believing you can get

back the money.”

Casey and Edith were rendered speechless. Amara knew that Dempsey was a rogue, yet she still put

in good words for him.

"You said you will get back the money, if you can’t, I will not allow you to have meal with us, and I you’ll

have to divorce Edith!”

After finishing the sentence, Amara walked back to her bedroom.

Nicolas gave them a helpless look, sighed, and then also walked into the bedroom.

He would only sigh in the face of difficulties. Compared with Casey, he was more suitable to the title

‘gigolo’.

"Casey, I'm really sorry, my mother is too block-headed. I believe you didn't break the TV. Don't take my

mom’s words to your heart." Edith apologized to Casey.

Casey smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

For no reason, Edith felt distressed and sorry for Casey when hearing the words.

"Don't worry; I will get the money back. You don't have to worry about me." As Casey was speaking, he

pushed Edith to come back to the bedroom.

Edith curled her lips into a line. She was thinking that she must compensate Casey for what he had

suffered in the future.

On the next day, after sending Edith to the company, Casey went to Dempsey’s domicile.

Standing at the entrance, he glanced into the community and then called Morgan. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Bring your man to Dempsey’s community; we have to play Hardball today.

Casey was not a push-over. He had already given Dempsey a chance. Since he didn’t cherish it, then

he could only use some special methods.
