The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 23

Casey Davies and Edith Patel went to the restaurant that Albie Patel had booked, and as soon as they entered, they saw Albie Patel sitting there.

There was only Albie Patel one customer in the restaurant, and Edith Patel thought that Albie Patel might have booked the whole restaurant, after all, the Patel family has the financial power to do this.

Edith Patel thought about it and felt Albie Patel was quite sincere.

They walked together to Albie Patel. Albie Patel saw that Casey Davies also followed, immediately smiled, and said, “Casey Davies this punk also came, but I only invited Edith Patel for dinner today, there is no food here for you.”

"I just knew it, so I ate tacos on the way," Casey Davies replied.

Albie Patel couldn't help laughing, thinking that Casey Davies was a real wimp for guessing that there was no food for him and bought a taco himself.

It would be a joke for the whole J City if he told anyone.

Edith Patel frowned, she was expecting Albie Patel to apologize and be nicer to Casey Davies, but he was as rude as before.

She sat down opposite Albie Patel and said to Casey Davies: "Sit down."

Albie Patel immediately stopped him: "Excuse me, I just told you, I'm taking you to dinner, no seat here for him."

After saying that, he waved to the waiters not far away and said, "Move all the seats here."

The two waiters immediately came over and moved the chairs away.

Edith Patel was angry, and she suddenly felt that Albie Patel had come to her not to apologize, but to get her in trouble.

"Albie Patel, don't you think you've gone too far?" Edith Patel questioned.

"Too far? It's good enough that I didn't kick him out for treating a loser like him, and you know his reputation in J City, he's got what he has today because he's useless. You can’t blame others." Albie Patel looked unconcerned.

Edith Patel was pissed but couldn't save face for Casey Davies.

"It's okay, I'll just stand." Casey Davies spoke up.

Albie Patel pursed his lips, thinking that punk is a punk, being treated like this and not even daring to say half a word of discontent.

After the two waiters moved the chairs away, they sneaked a glance this way, and one of them muttered, "That man is so pathetic, he can't even sit down."

"Don't you know? That's a famous loser in J City, Casey Davies, he's a live-in son-in-law, he doesn't have any place in the family, a gigolo, I'm afraid that his family is already giving him face if they can bring him out."

"Really? That's Casey Davies? Well, he is so unsympathetic, and I wouldn't be a gigolo anyway, even if I was down and out."

Albie Patel didn't pay any more attention to Casey Davies, instead, he poured a glass of wine for Edith Patel and said with a smile, "Sister, let's get to the business."

"I was wrong about the antique show, I figured out that we were family and there was no need to get into a fight, so I wanted to apologize to you today."

"Let's toast this glass of wine, the previous feud is over, from now on, I won't make you any trouble."

Albie Patel said, taking the glass of wine in front of him and making a gesture of invitation.

Edith Patel was a little upset about what happened just now, but thinking that she was here today to reconcile with Albie Patel and couldn't make things worse, she took the glass of wine that Albie Patel had poured for her.

"In that case, I'll drink it."

Edith Patel prepared to drink the glass down.

It was at this point that Casey Davies made a quick move to stop Edith Patel.

Edith Patel looked at Casey Davies confusingly and said, "What's wrong?"

"He's put something in this drink." Casey Davies said.

Edith Patel turned pale and quickly put that drink down.

Albie Patel watched as Edith Patel was about to drink that special liquid and his plan was about to make it, but then Casey Davies suddenly intervened.

And he was surprised that Casey Davies would know that he'd put something in her drink.

"What the fuck are you talking about here, I just bought this wine, how can I put something in it, you're here to mess things up, I think you just don't want me to make up with Edith Patel!"

Albie Patel, being anxious, handed Edith Patel the glass of wine again.

"Don't you listen to this fool, just drink the wine and all our previous grudges will be wiped out."

Casey Davies saw how anxious he was, and was even more sure that he had put something in this drink. He had a smirk on his face.

He pushed the glass over and said in a cold voice, "Since you say there's nothing in this wine, swap your glass with this one."
