The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 167

Albie looked at Francis with a stupefied look, and murmured "Conor". Suddenly, he remembered something, and his body stiffened.

"The Emperor of the Underground World in J City? Why, why would he help Edith..." Albie couldn't accept this result.

He originally thought he had absolute certainty today and would kick Edith out of the company. After he took over the project of TY Group, Edith would no longer be qualified to fight him.

Grayson had also told him that he would definitely not lower the price for Edith. However, it happened that at this time, Jiangma Building Materials Factory was transferred to Conor.

Was this really just a coincidence?

Albie recalled that he had been against Edith several times before. Not once did Edith really get in trouble. Instead, he was the one who was in trouble every time.

He used to think it was because Edith was lucky. However, after several times, he had to wonder if he had no capital to compare with Edith at all?

But Edith in the past was just a little better at work. Albie thought he was not much different from her, and he had a lot of contacts, it was easy to beat Edith.

Why had he lost to Edith many times?

Was there anyone who helped Edith secretly?

Albie's gaze fell on Casey. If there was really someone who was helping Edith, then Casey would be the only one.

But Casey was obviously just a wimp. Was it possible that he was not as good as a wimp?

Albie gritted his teeth, the resentment in his heart turned into murder. He even wanted to kill Edith to clear the obstacles of inheriting the Patel family.

Everyone in the Patel family saw Francis furious with Albie. Then all of them felt that Albie's performance was a little too bad.

"Albie didn't do well recently. Since Francis has an antique exhibition, Albie has not let him rest assured."

"That's right. Before he went to the south to practice, I thought he was getting better. However, I found out that he actually had the same temperament as the beggars on the street, which made me very puzzled."

"If he goes on being like this, how can he inherit the Patel family's property? Francis will definitely worry about letting him take over the Patel family."

...

Hearing everyone's talk, Albie felt a deep sense of frustration. He glanced at Edith and Casey, always feeling that they were mocking him.

"Albie, you should not intervene in the company's affairs in the future. You are not ready to take over the company. Before you are ready, the company's affairs will be handled by Edith," Francis said.

"Grandpa..." Albie immediately wanted to refute.

Francis glared at him and said, "There is no discussion about this matter. Go back and reflect on your own problems. You are so old, and you should think about what you should do."

Albie gritted his teeth. There was a hint of malice in his eyes as he looked at Francis.

"Now I announce the second thing I want to say today." Francis adjusted his emotions.

Everyone also strained their ears. At that time, they knew that the second thing Francis was going to say was related to the Davies family in B City. Thus, they were all very curious.

"I have received news that the Davies family in B City will send someone to the Patel family next week to announce one thing. If it is as expected, it should be about the gift last time. The Davies family came and told me that the daughter of the Patel family was worthy of the Davies family last time. This time they should come to propose marriage."

Francis also looked a little excited. His dissatisfaction at that moment was gone. Although this was just his guess, he couldn't think of any other reasons for the Davies family's coming.

When everyone in the living room heard Francis' words, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that after so long, they heard from Davies family finally.

One of the most excited was naturally Nyla. After hearing Francis' words, she jumped directly.

"Grandpa, are you telling the truth? The Davies family is really coming to propose marriage?" Nyla stared in anticipation.

Francis smiled and said, "If I guessed correctly, they should come for this. Nyla, you have to be prepared at that time and you can't make the Patel family ashamed."

"Don't worry, grandpa. I will must be well-dressed that day and I will definitely meet the people of the Davies family in the best condition," Nyla said seriously.

Everyone looked at Nyla with envy. If the Davies family really came to propose marriage, then Nyla would really entree into upper-class circles.

"Nyla is really blessed. She gets favor of the Davies family. We might benefit from the Davies family in the future."

"That's right, Nyla is blessed. Unlike Edith, she married to Casey, who is a wimp and can't do anything except hurt her."

"Of course, a wimp like Casey can't be compared with the Davies family. Although their surnames are the same, there is a deep gap between Casey and the Davies family."

...

"This time the Davies family is here, we must make it solemn, so that they can know the sincerity of our family. This matter is assigned to Edith. You can take the money in the company account and must be well-prepared for this," Francis said.

"Yes, grandpa," Edith responded.

Upon seeing this, Nyla immediately retorted, "Grandpa, this matter can't be assigned to Edith."

Francis looked at Nyla and asked, "Why?"

Although Nyla was equivalent to confronting him directly, he was not angry. After all, the Davies family was likely to come to propose marriage and Nyla would become a member of the Davies family. Even he must be respectful to Nyla.

"Grandpa, this matter is related to my life happiness. Edith has always been at odds with me. You know it too. If she is responsible for the matter, she may obstruct me because of jealousy. It will affect the future of the Patel family," Nyla said.

Edith heard Nyla's words and immediately said unconvinced, "Nyla, do you think I am as jealous as you? Don't slander me!"

"Grandpa, look at her. She started yelling at me right now. It's because she is jealous that I'm going to marry the Davies family. Edith, you are useless and can only marry a wimp. You can't blame me for this." Nyla sneered.

Edith was ready to explode. Her fists clenched.

Casey reached out and held her shoulders, and said, "Don't get angry with her, she won't be proud for long."

"How do you know?" Edith asked strangely.

Casey smiled and said, "The Davies family won't like her. This time the Davies family is not coming for proposing a marriage. You will know by then."

"Edith, you ought to humor your younger sister. If the Davies family really comes to propose a marriage this time, you will need her help in the future. Don't talk to her like that." Francis also looked at Edith discontentedly.

Edith sighed and said, "I know, Grandpa."

Nyla was full of pride, and then said to Francis, "Grandpa, this matter should be left to Albie. He is the heir of the Patel family. Naturally, he should take charge of such an important matter."

Albie saw that Nyla wanted him to do this, and he showed a grateful looked immediately.

Francis glanced at Albie, hesitated because of the building materials.

Nyla saw Francis' concerns, and said, "Grandpa, don't get Albie wrong. The matter has already been settled by Albie, but the building material factory suddenly changed its boss."

"And don't you think it is a little strange for Edith to get a price that is 10% below the market price? Conor is the Emperor of the Underground World in J City. Why would he help Edith?"

Francis squinted his eyes, and a trace of doubt arose in his mind. He really didn't understand why Conor would help Edith.

"Edith's ability is really good, but she is not good enough to ask the Emperor of the Underground World in J City for help. Is it possible that she used other methods?"

"Edith's advantage is her appearance and figure, is she..."

"Tut-tut, this is indeed very possible. I didn't expect Edith to do such a thing in order to make Francis praise her."

...

When Edith heard what the crowd said, she looked very gloomy. She didn't expect these people to be so dirty inside.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, they will regret what they have said." Casey comforted her.

Edith nodded. Just as the old saying "A clean hand wants no washing", she was not afraid of others talking because she never did so.

"So, Grandpa, this thing cannot be left to Edith, otherwise the Davies family will doubt the character of the Patel family," Nyla said.

Francis nodded and said, "There's some truth in what Nyla says. In this case, let Albie do this."

Albie immediately said happily, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely satisfy everyone with this matter.

Nyla rolled her eyes, and didn't intend to let Edith go just like that.

"Grandpa, and I think it was a bit wrong for you to leave the company's affairs to Edith." Nyla continued.

"Well? What's wrong?" Francis asked.

"You think, people from the Davies family are definitely going to conduct a comprehensive inspection of our family. They will naturally also find information about our company's situation. If they know that the company is managed by an inconsistent woman, what do you think others will think?" Nyla said.

"Nyla, don't go too far!" Edith was almost furious.

"Fine, take a step back, let's not mention this. Edith's husband is Casey, but Casey is a famous waste in J City. People in the Davies family will definitely hear about it. The most important thing is that Casey's surname is also Davies, which is totally discrediting the people whose surname is Davies. If the people from the Davies family know that our company is managed by Casey's wife, they might think that our company is insulting the Davies family. When the time comes, if they get angry, and do not want to propose marriage, then it will be terrible." Nyla continued to speak.

Francis listened, and nodded thoughtfully.

Everyone in the Patel family nodded, feeling that what Nyla said was very reasonable.

"Yes, Nyla is right. Casey's reputation as a wimp will affect the Davies family's perception of us. Even if Edith is not as famous as Casey, they are a couple after all. As a result, she should steer clear of suspicion."

"That's right, you can't let Casey's reputation as a wimp ruin our family's major event. I think that during this time, don't let Edith manage the company."

"I agree. I really can't let Casey, a wimp, endanger the well-being of others. In my opinion, on the day the Davies family comes, we can't let Casey appear."

...

"Nyla is right. In that case, Edith, you should give yourself a vacation during this period. You don't have to worry about company affairs. Let Albie take over. Although Albie didn't do well this time, I still know his abilities, and he will not be worse than you," Francis said.

Edith frowned and said, "But grandpa, how about the TY Group..."

"You are stupid. As long as you don't talk to TY Group, they won't know that you let Albie take over the project. Unless you don't want our company to be better and tell TY Group about it deliberately," Nyla said immediately.

Her words almost completely blocked Edith's advantage.

Francis' eyes lit up suddenly, he hadn't thought of this way before.

"Okay, just do as Nyla said. Albie, you will take over the company's business from tomorrow. Edith, you will take a rest for a while. Let's talk about the project after the visit of the Davies family." Francis made a decision.
