The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 136

"After you," Casey said, opening the door for Edith.

But Edith was still in shock without moving.

Casey smiled. "We'd be late, my lady."

Which pulled Edith from her thoughts, and she hastily nodded, sliding into the limo. It was the first time that she had sat in such a fancy car, and she couldn't help but look around.

"Casey, how could you make it?" Edith asked.

"What?" He asked back.

"Ask the Gray family to drive you to the dinner." Looking at Casey, Edith felt that there were innumerous secrets about Casey.

He laughed. "Well, maybe he's making up for his son's misbehavior."

She didn't get his point, but she didn't plan to ask about it unless he was willing to explain.

The dinner was in the ancestral residence of the Gray family, which was elegant and tranquil. With a long history, as well as many houses and yards, it was large enough to hold the whole family.

And the dinner was set in the main yard with plenty of corridors. Basking in the decorative lights, all the food and drinks made the atmosphere of a high-end family dinner.

The EWB Lincoln pulled up at the entrance where many people were waiting for the dinner to begin.

Francis was chatting with others as he had already brought her family members here.

Now all eyes were on the EWB Lincoln.

"It's Mr. Hugo's limo, but it carried others here," a man standing by Francis said.

Including Francis, people nearby were looking at the limo enviously, wondering who were the lucky dogs.

Albie asked, "Grandpa, who are in the car now?"

"VIP of the Gray family," Francis answered.

Francis also envied the people in the car, as he longed for the privilege, too.

"It must be my future husband," Nyla mumbled.

Francis shot her a glare. He started to doubt that Nyla wasn't the reason that they sent them the presents.

Noticing the glare, Nyla whined, "You can't be too jealous. Sooner or later, I'll marry a filthy-rich man. Don't be too surprised then."

The limo went all its way to the yard. Edith felt sentimental as she saw all the envious gazes.

Especially when she found her family members', which made her feel relieved.

She glimpsed at Casey, only to find that he paid no attention to the crowd outside as if he deserved this privilege.

How could he be so confident?

Zane had been waiting for them before the limo pulled up in the center of the yard. Noticing Casey get off, he quickly bowed to Casey.

"Good evening, boss…"

"Casey eyed him, and he quickly got his signal to change his words.

"Good evening, Mr. Davies."

Casey nodded.

When Edith got off, Zane also smiled at her politely. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Davies. It was my son's mistake that upset you. He has been punished for it. Could you please forgive him?"

Edith looked at him with surprise as she didn't think that he was too nice to be the master of Gray family.

Because she was almost assaulted by his son?

In spite of everything, Edith felt weird as she was called "Mrs. Davies".

"Come and go inside, and our dinner will begin soon," Zane said.

Casey nodded. Following Zane's lead, he walked into a open-space living-room with Edith together. There were some showcases where various antiques were displayed.

Obviously, Zane was also an antique lover.

Some people were sitting there who were of the same age as Zane. And they also brought their young generations to broaden their horizons.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce Mr. Davies to you, and this is his wife," Zane said.

The crowd all turned around to look at the young couple with contempt.

People invited by Zane here were all pundits and elites from all walks of life, with years of experience. They looked down on Casey and Edith for they looked like rookies as young as their young generations.

"My friend, I'm afraid this Mr. Davies is only an apprentice. It must be a joke that he's your important guest tonight," an old man with a beard said.

Zane felt a bit embarrassed, but Casey was from the Davies family of B City. He was more than a young apprentice.

He couldn't tell the old man the truth as Margaret told him not to expose Casey's identity.
