The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 121

People in the Patel family had never seen Charles Clinton, and their faces were filled with confusion as they saw Charles.

"Who's he? How could he claim that TY Group would continue to corporate with the Petal family's companies? Is he from TY Group?"

"Come on! It's impossible that anyone from TY Group could show up here. I bet he's a fraud one hired by Edith."

"If so, he'd be a good actor as he looks exactly like a boss, with the same air of dignity as the boss of TY Group."

However, Francis and Albie knew Charles.

Seeing Charles, Francis hastily rose to her feet. Albie also scurried straight to Charles as he was a bit guilty at the thought of Charles' words couple of days ago.

Edith also looked confused as she didn't know Charles. She only remembered that Casey told him that if she could become the manager, TY Group would continue the cooperation.

Never would she imagine that no sooner than she got the position, the high-rank executives of TY Group had showed up.

Casey couldn't be too awesome if he had planned it all.

Edith pivoted to see Casey, only to find his smirk, as if he'd got everything in his palm.

Some relatives of Edith came around to taunt Charles.

"You must be hired by Edith to put on quite a show. And she even hired a secretory for you?"

"Edith, how dare you to fool us! Don't you know TY Group is so powerful that their men will not show up at our door?"

"To be honest, manager as you are, you are still a nobody to TY Group. Francis, I don't think Edith is qualified enough to be the manager."

…

Their words successfully embarrassed both Francis and Albie as their faces turned dark.

As the son of Francis, Albie looked at his ignorant relatives with pitiful gaze, hoping that his father wasn't pissed off.

However, Francis just yelled, "Get the fucking out of here! Don't you see the boss of TY Group standing here? Never will you get a share from the profits of Patel family's business. Now get out!"

Those relatives were immediately scared to death as they couldn't believe the man standing in front of them was Charles. They had messed it up.

Their faces were filled with regret and looked at Francis with begging gaze.

Seeing they were still there, Francis grabbed the bottle on the table and threw it at them.

Then they had no choice but to scatter away, otherwise Francis' illness would be much more serious due to them.

Albie shook his head as he believed those relatives just terminated their fortune in the Petal family.

Francis' response made others there assured that the man here was Charles, boss of TY Group.

Everyone was surprised. They couldn't believe that Charles would come here to ask for the cooperation in person.

Was it all about Edith?

Then lots of people speculated the relationship between Edith and Charles, and they thought Edith might have betrayed Casey as she must have an affair with Charles, due to their wild imagination.

Otherwise it was impossible that Charles would come in person.

And everyone got less jealous, looking at Casey compassionately.

Some people always cover their panic with all sorts of reasons as they deny acknowledging others' advantages. They just want to lash out their jealousy in the form of devilish slanders.

Francis stumbled toward Charles and said, "Sorry, boss, please forgive their ignorance."

Charles smiled and said, "That's OK. Have a seat. I'm here to tell you that we'll continue our cooperation."

Francis instantly nodded and said, "What a pleasure for the Petal family! Thank you!"

Charles smiled again. "For the record, it's because Edith was appointed as the manager. I think we'll have more and further cooperation with you, if Edith has more power in your business."

Francis immediately nodded. "Of course. She's our manager now, and she'll always has the last word in the company."

Albie clenched his fists as he could tell that Francis planned to allow Edith to take over the business.

But no one would care about his opinion when Francis was around.

"Besides, for our future cooperation, I have to explain why I value Edith so much."

Then his secretory represented Edith's recent performance of her projects, which were absolutely outstanding in any company.

In spite of the incompetence of the people from the Petal family, they could tell that Edith's performance was incredible. What they refused to admit was the fact that Edith's projects did promote the development of their company.

Now Charles forced them to admit that Edith was a competent woman by representing the statistic in public, which embarrassed the people who assumed that Edith got the cooperation by some sexual exchange.

Also, compared with Edith, they were capable of nothing but to throw dirt on others.

Although some still refused to admit that Edith was qualified for the position, they had to confess that Edith could do much better than them.

Why did Charles do it for Edith? Because he was afraid that Casey would find faults with him if Edith had been slandered by others.

After the explanation, Charles left there with his secretory.

People from the Petal family felt unhappy, especially Albie.

He thought Edith would be a manager without power.

Also, without the cooperation, their business would become a mess for Edith, their new manager.

But never would he imagine that TY Group came to her rescue and his father granted her with more rights.

It seemed that Edith would get a higher position than him. Although he was the lawful heir of the company, he'd never become the boss as long as Francis was alive.

He leveled Edith with a glare as he couldn't understand why his strategies would fail him as Edith gradually took over step by step.

"I'm the heir of the Petal family. Sooner or later, you'll step down."

After Edith's promotion, the situation of the Petal family got more stable.

Francis didn't take back the villa and the car, and Amara was delightful.

Then she was going to find faults with Casey.

This crisis made her realize that the villa must be transferred to Edith.

Now the villa belonged to Casey, which supported him to argue with Francis.

What if he abandoned her daughter? Edith and she would be kicked out of the villa by him.

Therefore, she desperately hoped that Casey could transfer the villa to Edith.

After driving Edith to work, Casey came back home, finding Amara waiting for him in the living room. Her eyes widened as she saw Casey show up.

"Casey, come here, please," she said.

Looking at her with confusion, Casey stepped toward her and asked, "What's the matter, mom?"

Amara smiled and answered, "Come and sit here. I just want to have a small talk with you."

Casey sat down facing her.

"Well, I know you have been sleeping with my daughter at night, don't you?"

Casey was dumbfounded as he didn't know why she'd ask the question. Worse still, Amara was so shameless that she secretly observed them.

When he and Edith went to bed, they didn't lock the door. Amara must have opened the door to peep at them, which made him feel sick.

"What do you mean?"

"Calm down, son. You have been taking advantage of my daughter, you know."

Casey was angry and said, "Nonsense! We're lawful couple, and we've got nothing wrong to sleep together."

"Bullshit! My daughter is the manager of her company. She's too good to marry you, you idiot! Had it not been my daughter, you'd have been kicked out of the Petal family."

"I had no idea how you could get the money to buy this villa, but you're not qualified to sleep with her. So, make up for your mistake now."

"Just transfer the villa to her. No, no, wait! Why not transfer it to me? I'm Edith's mother, and my villa is her villa."

Amara said righteously as if she was doing justice to herself.

"How could you trade your daughter merely for a villa? Is she just a piece of goods for you?" Casey asked coldly.

"Huh! What? If you really love her, she's worth more than a villa, isn't she?" Amara countered angrily.

Casey said, "The villa is nothing to me. I've got much more than it."

"Well, it's worth over fifteen million. I don't think you're as rich as the boss of TY Group. If you don't transfer it to me, I'll never allow you to sleep with my daughter."

Casey sighed and wanted to stop their meaningless argument. "I'll transfer the villa to you, but you have to promise that you'll never interfere in things between me and Edith."
