The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 111

In the company.

Edith just finished reading a document and sat in an office chair somewhat exhausted.

For some reason, when she came to the company in the morning, she felt a little uneasy and had a bad feeling.

At that time, Casey called her, saying that there were many problems in the company's projects and let her pay attention to it. Albie might make a fuss about this.

Edith didn't care much about it. Because she felt that she worked hard in the company and took what she should take. Albie had no way to slander her.

After a while, the door of Edith's office was kicked open.

Edith was shocked, then quickly turned her head to look over. Albie and Nyla walked in aggressively.

"Albie, can't you knock on the door? Can you break into my office casually?" Edith said angrily.

Albie glanced at Edith with a sneer, and said, "Edith, you’re totally screwed this time. What right do you have to scold me? You will be driven out of Patel family today. As for the project of TY Group, I’m going to take over it!"

Hearing what Albie said, Edith felt a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Grandpa has already known you embezzled the company’s money to buy the luxury car and the villa. He let me to ask you to come back. After you see Grandpa, you will be kicked out of Patel family forever." Albie said with a smile.

Edith's expression changed, and quickly explained, "The car and the villa were bought by Casey with his own money. When have I embezzled the company's money to buy things?"

"Edith, don’t play dumb with me. We all know that Casey is a cover up for you. Think about it, Casey has not earned a penny after coming to Patel family for so many years. How could he have more than 10 million dollars to buy a house and car? It’s you who stolen the money from the company's account." Nyla contemptuously said.

The two people insisted on saying that Edith took the money from the company's account. Edith could only say, "In that case, let's check the account and see if I take the company's money."

Hearing Edith's words, their expressions changed.

Albie snorted coldly and said, "Don't buy time here. Grandpa asked us to take you back. He is wise. Whether you took the company's money or not, he will know!"

Biting her lip, Edith knew that Albie and Nyla must have gone to Francis to speak ill of her.

Francis was old so he would be easily fooled. Edith herself didn't know exactly how Casey got the money, so she could easily be suspected of taking the money from the company.

But at this time, she had no time to check the accounts to prove herself. She had to follow Albie and Nyla to the Patel family's mansion.

On the way, Casey called Edith, saying that he wanted to show her something. Edith said that she was going to see Francis now and didn't have time, then she hung up the phone.

When they arrived at the Patel family's mansion, Edith saw that many cars had been parked at the door of the villa, all of them belonged to the relatives of Patel family.

As soon as Edith entered the villa, she saw that many relatives of Patel family had arrived here.

Amara and Nicolas also arrived here. They stood in the corner without saying a word, looking gloomy.

Just now, before Albie and Nyla went to find Edith, they told the relatives of Patel family about this matter, including Amara and Nicolas.

In Hazelfield Estate that day, Nyla was so mad to see the triumphant expressions on the faces of Amara and Nicolas, so she called them over, wanting to see if they could still be proud after they were kicked out of Patel family.

As soon as Edith entered the villa, everyone in it looked towards her.

Amara and Nicolas hurried over to Edith. Amara grabbed Edith's arm and said anxiously, "Edith, they all said that you embezzled company’s money to buy the boutique villa in Hazelfield Estate and to buy the luxury car. You can’t admit it later, just saying that Casey bought it secretly and you don't know what happened. Have you heard it?"

Edith frowned and said, "I didn't embezzle the company’s money, nor did Casey. Why should I say that he used it secretly?"

"But you do have the car and the villa. If you didn't take money from your company's account, how could you afford such expensive things? You said that neither you nor Casey embezzled the company’s money. Who believes it?" Amara said anxiously.

"I have said many times that Casey bought the house and car with his own money. Why don't you believe it?" Edith said, frowning.

"This is not the time to argue about this. If you don't put all the responsibility on Casey later, we have to be driven out of Patel family. The villa and car will have to be taken back." Amara was almost drove to crazy.

Edith didn't want to talk to Amara anymore. She just walked directly inside.

The relatives of Patel family immediately surrounded her and asked her so arrogantly.

"Edith, did you buy that villa with the company's money? The company's money belongs to the entire Patel family. You must hand it over."

"Yes. How could you use the company's money to buy such a good villa? You must hand it over."

"Edith, I thought you were a good girl. I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing. It really disappoints us elders."

...

Facing the questions of these relatives, Edith was a little helpless. She couldn’t argue with these people.

Francis sat on the sofa without saying a word. But from the expression on his face, he was quite unhappy.

Edith walked to Francis and said, "Grandpa."

Francis glanced at Edith, and then coldly snorted, "Shame on you!"

The inside of the villa became quiet for a moment.

Both Albie and Nyla were staring at Edith with gloating expressions on their faces. They were very happy to see Edith being scolded by Grandpa.

"Grandpa, this is not like what you thought." Edith wanted to explain.

"It's not like what I thought? You are driving a luxury car of more than 1 million dollars to go to work, aren’t you? You’re living in a villa of 15 million now, aren’t you?" Francis was so angry that his voices were a little trembling.

Edith bit her lip and said, "Yes, but..."

"But what? If you didn't take money from the company, how could you afford to buy such expensive things? Edith, I think highly of you, but what did you repay me?" Francis said angrily.

He completely forgot that if it weren’t for that TY Group wrote in the contract that they just wanted Edith to sign the contract, he might have given this contract to Nyla.

"I didn't take the money from the company. The car and the villa..." Edith wanted to explain.

"Are you trying to say that Casey bought the car and the villa?" Albie stood up and said, "Edith, do you think Grandpa is old, so you can fool him? You asked Casey to buy those stuff, and let his name be written on those certificates, just in order to let Casey take the blame for you when something goes wrong."

Edith immediately shook her head and said, "That's not the case, Grandpa. The car and the villa were really bought by Casey with his own money."

After hearing what Albie said, Francis banged his hand on the table hard, and said coldly, "Do you think I’m a fool? What can Casey do? He’s trained for nothing. Where did he get so much money? If he really had so much money, would he marry into our family?"

Edith suddenly didn't know how to explain it. No matter what she said, no one would believe her.

"Edith, just admit it. Don't speak for Casey." Nicolas sighed.

Nyla stared at Edith. Looking at Edith’s embarrassed look, she was very happy.

In order to embarrass Edith, she didn't mind making things worse.

"Grandpa, in fact, it's very likely that Edith didn't want to take the company's money. Maybe it was Casey who wanted to take the company's money. Since he came to Patel family, he’s up to no good from the beginning. It was him who got the contract of TY Group back then. Maybe he was just for the property of Patel family. I don’t know what method he used to get the contract. But as long as he got the contract, he would have the opportunity to transfer the property of Patel family through Edith.” Nyla said.

Everyone felt what Nyla said was very reasonable, so they all nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Francis. Maybe it's Casey who has ulterior motives."

"I didn't expect him to be so good at scheming. He was supported by to Francis for a few years. Finally, he could get a car and a villa. He really made a lot of money."

"I think Edith and Casey have colluded. Don't put all the blame on Casey. If they didn't collude, it would be impossible to accomplish this."

...

Francis' expression became more and more gloomy when he heard everyone’s discussion. Now, no matter who persuaded him, he would no longer believe in Edith.

Albie felt that the time had come. At this moment, no one in Patel family would believe Edith's words. As long as Francis agreed, Edith would be driven out of Patel family forever.

"Grandpa, if this continues, the property of Patel family will fall into the hands of Casey. You can’t let Edith keep managing the project of TY Group. She actually dared to do such a thing. You should kick her out of Patel family. You can't keep her stay in our family anymore!" Albie said.

"Yes!"

"Drive her out."

"Get out!"

A group of people yelled.

"Edith, what else do you have to say?" Francis said coldly.

"Grandpa, I really didn't embezzle the company’s money, nor did Casey. He really bought it with his own money." Edith said with despair.

"We don’t believe what you said. We all saw the villa and the car with our own eyes. Who can prove that you didn't take the company's money?" Albie sneered.

Just when Edith was about to despair, a voice which could make her calm down sounded.

"I can prove it!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Casey had appeared at the door of the villa. There was a big fat man standing beside him.
