The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 78

Francis and Nyla looked at Casey together. Francis was a little angry, and Nyla just looked down upon Casey.

Edith did not expect that Casey would be here at that time. Although she knew Casey had no way to change the decision made by Francis, she felt warm when she heard what Casey said just now.

“What are you doing here? You’re such an idiot. How can you come here?” Nyla said,

“I come here to take my wife home,” Casey said indifferently.

“Really?” Nyla obviously looked down upon Casey.

Edith turned to Casey, and she was already in tears.

Casey wiped her tears with his hands and smiled, “Don’t cry. I won't let you leave me.”

Edith wanted to say something, but she sighed finally when she thought that Francis insisted on asking her to divorce.

“Casey. I think you heard what I said just now. You can’t stay with Edith anymore, so you have to divorce later. As compensation, I will give you a sum of money so that you can survive. This is my greatest kindness to you,” Francis said.

“Sorry, I don’t need your kindness.” Casey replied to him.

Francis stared at him and said, “What? Do you want to continue to stay in our Pate family? You shall know that Edith should have made a better choice. She had no choice but to marry you at that time, but now, you cannot stop her from pursuing a happy life anymore.”

“You ask her to marry Hunter just for the cooperation of the project. That is not what she wants. How can you say that you do it for her happiness?” Casey did not flinch.

He never had any weakness in dealing with the problems related to Edith.

“How dare you!” Francis did not think that Casey would talk to him this way, so he was angry to death.

Nyla stared at Casey and said to him, “You are right. My grandpa asked her to marry Hunter just for the cooperation of the project with TY Group. And this project is very important to our Patel family.”

“As long as Edith divorces you and then marries Hunter, we can cooperate with TY Group. This is what she should do for the Patel family. What about you? What can you do for our family? You are such an idiot. How can you talk to my grandpa this way?”

“If you are promising, my grandpa will not ask Edith to marry Hunter. Generally speaking, Edith suffers from everything just because of you.”

Francis really agreed with Nyla. He said to Casey, “I agree with Nyla. If you don’t want to divorce, you have to negotiate successfully for this project. Can you do it?”

Edith sighed. She knew that Hunter was in charge of this project, so Casey could not negotiate successfully for this project.

She pulled Casey’s arm and said, “Casey, stop talking about it. I think that is my destiny.”

Casey said immediately, “I have negotiated successfully for this project, so we don’t have to divorce.”

They were surprised but also doubted it when they heard that.

“Casey, don’t lie to us. Why can you negotiate successfully for this project? Hunter told me that only when Edith divorces you, will he cooperate with us.” Nyla did not believe him.

“In my opinion, you are just good-for-nothing and a liar. So it is right to ask Edith to divorce you,” Francis said coldly.

“Casey, I know you just do it for me. However......” Edith said with nervousness.

Casey took out the contract directly and hung it over to Francis, “I take the contract here. If you don’t believe me, you can check this contract.”

Francis was surprised again. He took over the contract in a hurry and read it carefully.

Edith also thought that was unbelievable. She did not expect that Casey would get the contract.

However, Hunter was in charge of this project. How could he give Casey the contract?

Nyla also doubted if Casey told the truth. Because she could not believe that Casey could get the contract from TY Group.

“Grandpa, don’t trust him. I think he must have got a fake contract and then lied to you. He is so silly that he thinks that he can gain your trust with such a fake contract,” Nyla said.

She believed that this contract was fake. Because Hunter told her that he would sign the contract with them only when Edith promised to marry him.

Francis also thought that the contract was fake. However, after he read it carefully, he found that it could not be fake at all.

What’s more, there was the signature of Chairman Charles Clinton and the seal of TY Group.

After he confirmed that the contract was true, he was so glad that his hands trembled. He said, “The contract is true. But how can you get this contract?”

Nyla and Edith were also very surprised, because they did not expect that Casey could get the contract.

“That is impossible! Why could hunter give it to you? Did you steal it back?” Nyla was unwilling to believe him, so she questioned him.

“It was not given by Hunter. Now Hunter was not the principal of this project anymore. And this contract was given by the Chairman of TY Group,” Casey said.

Edith was surprised. Casey told her that he had a friend in TY Group before, but she thought his friend may be just a staff member in TY Group, so she thought that he could not help Casey a lot.

Could he be the Chairman of TY Group? She was thinking about it now.

If he was the Chairman of TY Group, it would be unbelievable.

“Grandpa, please don’t trust him. He must lie to you. There is no his signature in the contract at all. So he must steal it by himself.” Nyla tried her best to explain.

At that time, the personal secretary of Francis walked into the mansion and reported to Francis, “Mr. Francis, I got the news just now. Cayden Khan has become the principal of the new project of TY Group, and Hunter Powell is not the principal anymore. What’s more, Cayden Khan also sent a congratulatory message to us specifically, saying that he hoped to cooperate with our Patel family happily in the future.”

The secretary’s words directly proved that Casey did not lie, and Nyla had nothing to say at that time.

She just could not figure it out why they changed the principal of the new project. And why TY Group was willing to give the contract to Casey as he was so foolish. She really could not understand it.

Francis laughed at once and said, “It seems that Casey does not lie to me. I just looked down upon you. As you get the contract for this project, it will be beneficial to our Patel family, so you don’t have to divorce.”

After hearing that, Edith felt relaxed, and then she looked at Casey with appreciation.

Nyla was unhappy, because her plan was over, and she could not make Edith into trouble this time.

“However, there is no signature of party B in the contract. So do they want me to sign it?” Francis asked.

Nyla was excited when she heard that, “Grandpa, how about let me be in charge of the project this time? You shall take much more rest, and you will be tired if you handle such a big project, so just let me share the burden with you.”

Nyla knew that she could get more benefits from this project. Since Casey had gotten the contract, she had to get it and handle it by herself.

Francis nodded with agreement after hearing that, “OK, I am indeed too busy to take time to be in charge of it.”

Nyla smiled with excitement at once, “Well, then let me sign this contract for you.”

Francis did not think about it too much, so he handed over the contract to Nyla.

Although this contract was gotten by Casey, in his opinion, Casey was not a real family member of the Patel family. So he would not let him sign this contract.

After Casey saw that, he said immediately, “TY Group told me that this contract can only be signed by Edith. If it is signed by any other people, it will not take into effect.”

Edith was amazed. She asked Casey, “Why me?”

Casey smiled and said, “They may think that you are reliable.”

Casey was the big boss of TY Group, so he had the right to sign the contract with the one he wanted.

After hearing what Casey said, Nyla hesitated a bit. But when she thought that it would take into effect no matter who signed it because there was the signature of the Chairman and the seal of TY Group in the contract. She did not believe Casey.

So she ignored Casey and then signed the contract directly.

“Casey, I know you want Edith to get more benefits. But I signed this contract just now, so I will be in charge of this project. It’s too late no matter what you say,” Nyla said proudly.

Francis knew about the effect of the contract.

Unless it was required that it shall be signed by Edith in the terms of the contract clearly, Casey's words had no legal effect.

“I told you this contract must be signed by Edith, otherwise, it will not take into effect,” Casey said calmly.

“Do you think that I am a three-year-old child? It is not listed clearly in the terms of the contract. So why do you say that? You are really childish,” Nyla said disdainfully.

Casey smiled and said, “Please turn the last page of this contract and read the terms clearly.”

Nyla was a little worried and then she turned to the last page of the contract and read the term, “This project shall be in charge of Edith Patel. If it is signed by any other people, it will be invalidated.”
