The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 174

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared abruptly, and the whole villa immediately became quiet.

At the beginning, the lively atmosphere also cooled down instantly, and everyone looked at Margaret in amazement, wondering what was going on.

Francis was even more confused, thinking that she was here to propose marriage, how could she say such a thing. Was it because she thought the Patel family was not as good as the Davies family, and wanted to cow them into submission?

Not only did he think so, but Nyla also thought so.

"Mother-in-law, don't make jokes with us. Although the Patel family is not as good as the Davies family, as long as your son lives a happy life with me, it doesn't matter," Nyla said with a smile.

Everyone hurried to echo.

After hearing what Nyla said, Margaret frowned immediately, then walked to Nyla, raised her hand and slapped her.

With a crisp and loud sound.

Everyone knew now that Margaret was not joking.

"Don't you know how you are? Dare you, a tawdry woman, want to marry into the Davies family!" Margaret said rudely.

Nyla covered her face. She had been looking forward to this event since the Davies family came to give gifts, thinking that when the day the Davies family came to propose her marriage, she would have a good time.

But what she didn't expect was that this day would turn out to be such a result.

"You... why are you hitting me?" Nyla said flatly.

"Because you are ingrate," Margaret said.

Nyla was anxious immediately. At this time, she didn't care if the person in front of her was from the Davies family. The personality she developed from childhood made her be unable to endure when being slapped by others.

She was about to hit Margaret right away, but just as soon as she raised her hand, a bodyguard behind Margaret rushed in front of Nyla and slapped her face again.

The strength of the bodyguard was much greater than Margaret's, and Nyla's face became swollen with this slap.

Nyla couldn't hold back and started crying.

Sally and Jakub hurried over to support Nyla and comfort her.

"No matter when, people should have self-knowledge. If you don't have that ability, don't climb social ladder," Margaret said contemptuously.

No one in the room dared to refute. They had all seen the skill of Margaret's bodyguards just now. At this time, talking too much was undoubtedly dicing with death.

Francis' look turned to be gloomy. He originally thought Margaret was just trying to cow them into submission, but he didn't expect she really looked down on them.

It seemed that they were coming for proposing marriage at all, but for making trouble.

"Since you are not here to propose marriage, please explain your intentions. Although the Patel is not as good as the Davies family. We are not people that can be handled by others. If you deliberately come to make trouble, we won't let you succeed," Francis said.

He originally thought that when he said this, people in the Patel family would support him very stubbornly, but he did not expect that no one would echo his words.

On the contrary, many people bowed their heads directly because of his words.

Francis cursed secretly, thinking that his family were really timid.

Margaret sneered and said, "I didn't expect the head of a little family to be spirited. It's a pity, no matter how spirited you are, you are just an ant in the eyes of the Davies family."

"I'm not here today to make you embarrassed. It's you who don't care to teach your family well. You can't blame me. I'm here today to take back the gift I gave to your family."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that the Davies family came to take back the gift they had originally given.

Francis frowned. He liked the antiques of the Davies family very much. He had already regarded them as his own. Now that the Davies family wanted to take them back, he still felt a little reluctant.

"You gave us the gift. Now you say you want to take it back. You have to give us a reason," Albie said.

"Because you are not worthy," Margaret said lightly.

Albie looked embarrassed. If he could know her answer early, he wouldn't ask her.

Francis didn't want to be too embarrassed. Since they came to ask for it, he would just give them back.

"My family doesn't care about your gifts. Go and bring all the antiques sent by the Davies family." Francis said with a gloomy look.

The expression on Nyla's face suddenly changed. At first, she always thought that these gifts from the Davies family were betrothal gifts for her, so she could sell them at will, and no one could say anything.

Now that the Davies family came. They weren't here to propose marriage at all, and they asked these gifts back, which made her panic all at once.

The two antiques sold were definitely not available. If Margaret found that two antiques were missing later, she would definitely be held accountable.

Albie also realized this problem, and walked to Nyla quickly and asked, "What should we do? Those antiques are not for you at all. Do you have any money you got from selling antiques?"

"It's all...it's all spent," Nyla looked pale.

Albie cursed, thinking it was over.

After a while, a few people brought the antiques from the Davies family.

Margaret stared at the antiques and said coldly, "There are still two pieces missing."
