The Peremptory Casey Davies

Chapter 12 Heart Of Venus

In the room, Edith was exhausted as she lied on the bed. She started to play with her phone.

“My wife, the owner of TY Manor didn’t mention that he would invite Nyla. Since she is so proud of

herself now, she might suffer from humiliation if things don’t work in her favor.” Casey tried to comfort

her.

“No matter who he’s inviting, it’s definitely not me, so you should stop talking about this. It’s annoying.”

Edith replied.

When Casey heard that, he didn’t continue the conversation for now. He started to imagine how big a

surprise she would receive on the day of the antique exhibition.

“Wow, this necklace looks so pretty.” When Casey was spreading out the mat, Edith suddenly broke the

silence.

Casey was curious about it so he took a glance at the screen of her phone and saw that she was

talking about a magnificent necklace named ‘Heart of Venus’. This necklace was going to be auctioned

off tomorrow.

An idea suddenly sprang up in Casey’s mind. He was planning to set a romantic setting on the day of

the antique exhibition and confess his gratitude towards her for the past three years. And it seemed like

he was lacking a present now.

“This necklace looks quite pretty, do you like it?” Casey tried to gauge her desire.

Edith replied helplessly, “No woman can resist this at all, but it’s too expensive for me. The lowest

bidding price for it starts at ten million Yuan, so it is not something I can even imagine to own.”

“Actually, you can dream about having it sometimes, doing that doesn’t cost you anything at all.” Casey

continued.

Edith immediately rolled her eyes at him as she retorted, “What can I gain from dreaming about that?

Are you going to give me as a present? Let’s not think about unrealistic stuff, you should sleep now.”

After saying that, Edith switched off her phone and went to sleep on the bed.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Casey’s mouth. He had decided to win the bid for this “Heart of

Venus” necklace and give it to Edith as a present.

The next morning, Edith was busy preparing for the antique exhibition while Casey went to the city

center of J City, where the “Heart of Venus” necklace was going to be auctioned off in an auction

house.

Casey bought a cap from some roadside stall and tried to disguise his attire so that nobody would

recognize him.

Shortly after, the auction house was slowly filled up with a crowd and there were a lot of expensive cars

parked near the entrance. Those who were joining this auction were all from a noble or wealthy

background. Everybody was wearing elegant and beautiful clothes except Casey, who was wearing

cheap clothes bought at roadside stalls. He was pretty out of place there.

When he reached the entrance of the auction house, a few men in black suits were examining the

people entering the auction house. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Casey went straight towards the entrance but he was stopped by those men instantly.

“You should pick up rubbish somewhere else, this is a high-end auction event. You should look at

yourself in the mirror and see what kind of ridiculous clothes you’re wearing now. Do you think you can

simply enter this kind of place?” One of them shouted at Casey.

Casey looked at him and said, “I’m here to join the auction.”

The two men were stunned briefly by his words before bursting into laughter.

“Do you think we are blind? Look at your attire, they probably cost at most a hundred Yuan. This is a

high-end auction event where every item’s starting price is at least a million Yuan. Do you really think

you can afford them?”

“Enough, let’s not talk nonsense with this fool. We should get him out of here so that he won’t affect

other guests.” One of them suggested.

At this moment, a smart-looking woman who was wearing sexy clothes approached them. She probed,

“What is happening here?”

Those two men saw her and bowed politely in front of her. One of them said, “Miss Burgess, this

beggar wants to enter the auction event but we have stopped him here. We are having a difficult time

getting him out of this place.”

The woman called Sawyer Burgess scanned Casey from his head to his toes and snickered while

thinking that more fools were appearing out of nowhere these days.

Despite that, she didn’t drive him away immediately. Instead, she asked Casey, “You have a bench

mark to meet if you want to enter our auction event. Your net worth must be at least ten million Yuan to

qualify yourself for this event. Lower than that, you won’t be allow to enter. Are you sure you’re qualified

to enter?”

Casey immediately whipped out his world-class black card and handed it to Sawyer while saying, “You

can check the amount in this card. If it is less than ten million Yuan, I will immediately get lost.”

Sawyer was surprised that Casey looked quite serious when he said that. She pouted and replied, “If

that’s the case, then I will bring you to check on your assets now. But let me warn you, if you’re wasting

our time, just know that all the brawlers here are not the kindest type.”

Casey shrugged to indicate that he didn’t care about that.

Sawyer immediately led Casey into a room to validate his assets. She was already making up her mind

that she would call in some brawlers to beat him up if she found out that there wasn’t much in this card.

When they were inside the room, Sawyer handed over Casey’s card to an employee to let him check

the balance.

After that, she studied Casey carefully and showed a look of disgust after seeing what he was wearing

at the moment.

“To be honest, I can’t understand why a fool like you likes to pretend to be rich. You know that you

would get exposed in the end, but you still want to continue pretending. I can’t understand what are you

trying to achieve by doing that?” Sawyer said.

Casey smiled at her while replying, “I am not pretending to be anybody else at all. Since you have a

bench mark to meet here, it is natural for me to let you check the balance of my card.”

“Humph, you should stop bluffing now. Let’s not talk about ten million Yuan, if this card contains even

ten thousand Yuan, you can do whatever you want with me!” Sawyer said confidently.

Casey ignored her as he thought that it was pointless to argue with her.

“Enter your password here.” The employee said to Casey.

Casey typed his password and waited for the employee to announce the result.

When that employee saw the balance contained in Casey’s card, his mouth was so wide open that you

could stuff an egg into his mouth.

Sawyer saw that employee’s reaction and asked quickly, “What’s wrong with you? Is it because there’s

too little money in it that it has shocked you?”

“One… One hundred… One hundred…” The employee was stammering right now.

Sawyer glared at him and said, “You’re shocked because there’s only one hundred Yuan inside that

card? Are you serious?”

Sawyer was about to summon some brawlers here to beat Casey up when that employee suddenly

shouted, “The amount is not one hundred Yuan!”

“Then what is it? Why are you stuttering when you’re talking about a poor guy’s card?” Sawyer was

getting impatient now.

That employee took a deep breathed and said, “Ten billion Yuan! There’s ten billion Yuan in his

card!”
