The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 42

"Dempsey, didn’t you told me that the TV was broken by Casey, what are you doing now?" Amara asked suspiciously.

"No, it was actually my fault. And the TV is not broken. Just check the money and see if it’s right. I still need to pay back the others." Dempsey answered.

Amara opened the parcel and counted the money in it. In addition to the money for the TV, he had also returned the rest that he owed.

Seeing that Dempsey acted differently than usual, Amara wondered if it was because her daughter's status elevated in the Patel family, which made this old man try to please her.

That's right, it must be the reason. It was definitely because of her daughter that Dempsey would return the money. No matter what, it couldn’t be Casey’s contribution.

"Dempsey, don’t say that. I don’t need the money in a hurry. You can pay it back later." Though Amara said so, she still put the parcel into her pocket quickly.

Dempsey was quite embarrassed. He wanted to pay it back later, but the roughnecks that visited him today wouldn't like that.

He didn't want to have a machete on his neck. It would be a shame if he was scared out of his pants again.

“Okay, if the money is right, then I'll go first, talk to you later," Dempsey turned around without hesitation, and headed to the next debtor.

Amara went back inside happily. Noticing the smile on Amara’s face, Edith asked, "Mom, what's wrong, why so happy."

"Your Uncle Wong just paid the money for the TV, and also the money he owed us." Amara answered with a smile on her face.

Edith was surprised by how quickly Dempsey returned the money, since Casey said yesterday that he could ask the money back.

This man seemed to be more reliable than she thought.

"Edith, Uncle Wong must know that your status in the Patel family has elevated and will have a bright future, so now he wants to please us and thus gave the money back." Amara analyzed.

Edith knew that Dempsey would pay back obediently not because of her, but Casey.

"Mom, it has nothing to do with me, it was Casey that asked the money back.” Edith said.

Amara glanced at Casey and said contemptuously, “How does a useless man like him ask the money back? Who is he that could have your Uncle Wong come and return the money in person?"

"Don't you speak for this useless man, Uncle Wong returned the money because of you. I am in a good mood today, so I won't throw him out of this family. But tell him to remember that he doesn't have the right to speak in this family and stay obedient in the future."

Edith felt that her mother was so unreasonable, and she almost told Amara that Casey gave her a necklace that was worth 45 million.

However, Casey had told her to keep it secret, otherwise, something bad might happen.

Especially not to tell Amara, who had a big mouth. Once the secret leaked out, their family might be targeted by others.

Casey looked at Edith with a smile. As long as the money was returned, he didn't care about the rest.

"It's fine as long as mom is happy."

Edith felt that her family had owed Casey too much.

Logically speaking, the money for the TV should be given to Casey, but with Amara’s personality, it would be impossible to take back the money. Therefore, Edith didn’t mention it.
