The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 98

Everyone looked at the driver with a puzzled look.

"Where did he say we are going?"

"Hazelfield Estate? Did I mishear? Or is there something wrong with my ears?"

Nyla stood up and asked the driver again, "Sir, are you sure we're going to Hazelfield Estate instead of the suburbs?"

"Yes, Casey asked me to drop you off at the Hazelfield Estate." said the driver.

The crowd gasped. They thought they were going to the countryside, so they hired a car, but the driver was taking them to the Hazelfield Estate.

Was it possible that Casey bought a house in Hazelfield Estate?

Albie stared at the driver and felt he was not joking.

"Did Casey say why you send us to Hazelfield Estate?" asked Albie.

"No, he just asked me to take you there." said the driver.

"Amara, is it possible that Casey really bought a house in Hazelfield Estate?" asked a woman.

"I don't know," Amara said, "It is my first time to see the house he bought, but is it possible that he bought a house in the Hazelfield Estate? I don’t think so."

She also looked in Edith's direction, but Edith was closing her eyes having a rest, and did not want to talk to them.

"How can Casey afford to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate? God knows what he's going to do. Let’s wait and see." Nyla shrugged.

She never believed Casey could afford the Hazelfield Estate houses, so she simply thought Casey was playing tricks.

"Nyla is right. He must be fooling us. With his ability, how can he have money to buy a villa?"

"Hazelfield Estate is the most expensive residential area in J City. Even Mr. Patel was not able to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, not to mention Casey."

After gossiping, they reached the consensus that Casey could not afford to buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, and that he was fooling them.

Albie squinted at Edith and thought that since that she had already bought a Land Rover, and if she did buy a house in Hazelfield Estate, she must have taken a lot of money from the project.

Even though he was working on a project with Edith, he didn’t have the guts to get so much money at once.

"Well, I hope you didn't buy the Hazelfield Estate with the money you get from the project, or I'll have a good reason for grandpa to kick you out of the Patel family this time!" A sinister smile appeared on Albie's face.

"Do you think Casey would rent a house in Hazelfield Estate to save face?" said a man.

"Most likely. He won't be able to afford it, so he'll rent it for a while, and he'll show it off in front of us for the sake of face." Someone agreed.

When Amara and Nicolas heard what they were saying, a moment of embarrassment passed over their faces.

They came up with the idea of renting a house, but Edith stopped them. Now it was lucky that they didn't, because it was easy to be revealed.

"Casey refused to let us rent for a house, but he rented one in Hazelfield Estate himself. Someone had seen it through now. It must be Edith who paid for it. We have to get it back later." Amara gnashed her teeth.

"If it's in the Hazelfield Estate, it's not rented. Houses there will never be rented." Albie said.

Hearing this, a group of people became more confused. Since the houses there couldn’t be rented, why did Casey send them to Hazelfield Estate? Did he really buy a villa?

"We'll see when we get there. I don't believe he can afford to buy a villa in Hazelfield Estate anyway." When one man spoke, the rest nodded.

A short time later, the bus stopped in front of the Hazelfield Estate, and the people got off the bus.

Casey was already waiting at the gate of the community when he saw the Patel family getting off the bus and he immediately went over.

Edith, relieved to see Casey, went up to him and said, "These guys went too far. They didn’t believe that you bought a house here and they even mocked you."

"Well, never mind," Casey said with a smile. "They will believe it when they see it."

Edith nodded. With Casey here, she felt at ease, which was one of the reasons she couldn’t live without Casey.

"Casey, what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you going to show us your house? Why did you bring us here?" Nyla said.

"Don't tell me you're going to take us around the Hazelfield Estate. I'll go back right away." Jakub shouted.

"The house I bought is in there," Casey said, smiling at the crowd. "Let's go in."

Everyone looked incredulous when Casey said that.

"Who are you fooling with? The house price of Hazelfield Estate is so expensive that you don’t even afford a piece of land." Nyla blustered.
