The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 73

When Edith saw Casey turn towards her and look at her lips, she knew what he wanted to do.

She did not know why she was also inexplicably excited, as if she received some kind of signal.

She should have been reserved, but her instinct prevented her from doing anything, and she just sat and waited for him to kiss her.

As Edith did not fight against him, Casey was also very excited. It seemed that he could finally have intimate contact with her today.

Edith was a little nervous, so she closed her eyes and did not do anything.

When they almost kissed, Amara called Edith outside suddenly.

“Edith, what are you doing? You’re late for work.”

They turned away their faces quickly and they did not kiss each other. Edith was shy, and Casey was helpless.

He did not think that he would lose this chance this way.

“Yes, mom! I will come out right now.” Edith calmed herself down. She glanced at Casey and thought that it was a little funny, and then she walked out of the room triumphantly.

Casey sighed as he did not expect that he would lose the chance he had waited for a long time this way.

However, it seemed that Edith did not resist him anymore, presumably he would have the next chance soon.

A few days later, Francis Patel gathered Patel family members together and held an important meeting to discussing the project of TY Group.

Recently, a subsidiary of the TY Group in J City got a major project. The business of the Patel family was just linked to this project, so if they could cooperate with TY Group, they would have unprecedented development.

However, this project was very hot, and there were countless companies that wanted to cooperate with TY Group. And Patel family just ranked at medium level, so TY Group would not cooperate with them.

These days, many Patel family members had contacted workers in TY Group privately, because they knew that their status in the Patel family would be instantly improved if they negotiated with TY Group successfully.

However, none of them could contact the senior staff in TY Group, and they even did not meet with the manager of the subsidiary. Therefore, they gave up. No matter what, TY Group would not cooperate with the Patel family.

But Francis Patel attached great importance to this project. He was still thinking about the gifts given by Davies family last time. He also thought that the Patel family was a big family comparable to those first-class families, so TY Group would cooperate with them.

“It’s very important for us to cooperate with TY Group in terms of this project. So no matter what you do, you must get the contract of this project. As we all know, our family can have a big development with this project.”

“Mr. Francis, the senior staff of the TY Group has been mysterious, and we cannot meet with them,” someone said.

“Nonsense! Our Patel family is a big family with power, so I think they will think about it as a favour to me. It just shows that you should do more if you cannot meet with them.” Francis Patel retorted immediately.

And then, they said nothing, because they knew that if they kept arguing with him, they would have something bad.

“It is crucial to get cooperation with TY Group. If you do it successfully, you will also get many benefits. So please tell me who will be the best one to do it.” Francis kept talking.

In his opinion, they would fight for this opportunity as there would be many benefits.

Unexpectedly, they started making excuses when he asked about it.

“As it is so important, I think our eldest brother will be the best one to do it.”

“No. I think our youngest brother should take this opportunity to get much more working experience.”

“No, I can’t do it. I think you can do it better.”

......

Talking about the cooperation with TY Group, there would indeed be many benefits, but the premise was to promote cooperation between the two parties. Now everyone knew that it was not easy to meet with the senior staff of TY Group, and it was almost impossible for the Patel family to get the opportunity to cooperate with TY Group, so they did not want to do it.

After all, if they did not make it successful, Francis Patel would be furious.

“Rubbish!” Francis was very angry when he saw that no one was willing to work to promote the cooperation with TY Group, “You guys are really worse than Albie. If Albie was here, he would make it successful.”

He did not know that Albie was collecting trash in the Beggars' Gang.

All the members kept quiet, and they lowered their heads and dared not to look at Francis Patel.

“Grandpa, I think we can assign this task to Edith Patel. She has done a good job in our company recently, and she has just been promoted. It's time for her to have a better performance.” Nyla Patel said abruptly.

After hearing that, all the people turned to Edith and agreed with Nyla at once, because they really hoped that she could take this task.

“Yes, Edith really has done a good job in the company recently. I think she can take this task.”

“That’s a good idea. Edith is indeed the best one to do it.”

“I also agree with you. It’s the best choice to assign this task to Edith.”

......

Edith stared at Nyla at once as he did not expect that Nyla would be so insidious to make a trap for her.

Edith also knew that it was difficult to promote cooperation with TY Group. If she took this task, she would get herself into trouble.

Nyla was pleased with herself, and she looked like an arrogant queen who could change other people’s fate.

“I don't think she is qualified for this task, she cannot make it successful,” Amara Stevens said awkwardly.

Nyla replied disdainfully, “I think she is qualified enough. Among the younger generation, she is the only one who can get the same salary as that of those predecessors. It means that she is competent. If she cannot finish this task successfully, why can she get such a high salary?”

Amara could not say anything as Nyla said like that, but she secretly scolded her for not respecting elders and speaking so aggressively.

Nyla did not give a shit to Amara at all. Actually, she did not give a shit about any elders because she thought that she would marry a rich and powerful man in the future.

Francis looked at Edith and said, “Edith, I agree with Nyla. You are competent, so I believe you can finish this task well. And you are familiar with this project as you have sorted out the materials, so I think you shall take this task.”

Edith suddenly became anxious and wanted to explain to Francis.

At that moment, Casey Davies supported her shoulders with his hands, and then said: "Edith will definitely complete this task."

Edith was a little surprised. She didn't expect Casey to accept the task for her, and he also said that she would be able to complete the task.

After hearing that, Amara was very angry, “Are you crazy? Edith didn't make any promise. Why are you accepting this task for her?”

All the people sneered, they also did not expect that Casey would make Edith into trouble.

“He’s really silly. All of us could not complete this task, he even dared to take this task for Edith and said that she would complete it.”

“I find that Casey Davies has become more and more like to say something untrustworthy recently. As we all know, it is very difficult to complete this task. How dare he make a promise directly?”

"Perhaps he thinks that doing business is like playing games with children. What an idiot!"

......

Nyla looked at Casey mockingly. She thought that he had become more and more idiotic after not seeing him for a period of time.

“Since Casey has talked like this, I think this task should be assigned to Edith. And she will definitely be able to complete it. If she fails, she won't have to stay in Patel family anymore." Nyla said in a weird manner.

All the people agreed with her at once.

Francis glanced at Casey for a second and said, “Well, then I will assign this task to Edith. Edith, please don’t let me down.”

Edith was helpless. She just could nod with agreement.

She thought that Casey told her that he had friends in TY Group last time, so he took this task for her because of this?

Amara looked at Casey with anger. She really thought that he made them in trouble on purpose.

After finishing the discussion, the meeting ended.

Nyla walked up to Edith and sneered, “Edith, you really have a nice husband. Although he can do nothing well, he really did a good job in making you into trouble.”

“I heard that TY Group has confirmed the company they want to cooperate with. So it is impossible for you to complete this task. When you fail, grandpa will ask you to leave the Patel family. I don’t think you can be pleased with yourself anymore.”

Edith was angry and said, “Nyla Patel, please don’t go too far.”

“I go too far? Really? Let me tell you, I will marry the son of the Davies family in B City. Do you know about the Davies family in B City? If you fight against me, you will not have a good ending.” Nyla said proudly.

“Really? Did the Davies family make any promises to you? So far, has anyone from the Davies family come to you?" Casey said coldly.

Nyla’s facial expression suddenly changed. This was indeed an issue that made her feel upset, and she did not expect that Casey would say it to her.

“Well, I think the Davies family is just waiting for an appropriate time. After I marry the son of the Davies family, I will show you my power.”

After saying that, she went away angrily.

After they returned home, Amara pointed directly at Casey's nose and cursed loudly, “Are you crazy? Why did you take this task for Edith? You should have known that it is impossible to complete it.”

“I will help her complete it.” Casey replied.

“You are such an idiot! I don’t think you can help her complete it. I think you really want to make us into trouble. Edith has just been promoted. How can you get her into trouble this way?” Amara kept talking.

Edith could not stand it and said, “Mom, even if Casey did not take this task for me, it would finally be assigned to me. I cannot reject it. And maybe Casey can really help me complete it.”

“What are you talking about, Edith? Are you silly? He’s just good-for-nothing. It is impossible for him to help you complete it. I think he does it with bad ideas. So you shall divorce him as soon as possible. He is not reliable,” Amara said with anger.

Edith frowned and then calmed down suddenly.

She looked at Amara seriously and said firmly, “Mom, please stop talking like this. I will not divorce Casey.”

“And I trust him.”
