The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 145

Casey turned his head and glanced at Edith, and found that Edith did look a little strange. Seeing Casey looking at her, Edith quickly looked away.

"He is a jerk in J City, isn't he? Why are you still with him? Why don't you divorce him and let him go back with me? I can find you a perfect man." Margaret smiled and said to Edith.

"He is not a jerk." Edith's attitude suddenly became determined.

Seeing Edith like this, Margaret was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with him, I hope you can stay the same."

Edith didn't understand what Margaret meant, stared at her and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Casey?"

"Obviously, I'm here to take him home. He doesn't just have a home here," Margaret joked.

Edith frowned immediately, feeling that Margaret seemed to suggest something to her.

She turned to look at Casey, and Casey quickly explained, "She is my aunt, don't listen to her nonsense."

Margaret walked to Edith, leaned to her ear, and said softly, "Casey is not as honest as you think. You can't believe what he said. He doesn't belong here and will leave sooner or later."

Casey frowned, reached out and pulled Edith over, and said coldly, "I have already said that, I have nothing to do with you anymore, don't disturb my life anymore."

Then he took Edith and walked out of the room.

Margaret smiled and glanced at the backs of the two people, and murmured, "I hope your wife can be as firm as you."

...

On the way back, Edith kept thinking about what Margaret said to her. She always felt that Margaret wanted to reveal some information to her.

She turned to look at Casey and asked, "Casey, is that really your aunt?"

Casey nodded and said, "That's right, but I've disowned with them. So, it's okay to say she is not my aunt."

Although Edith was curious about why Casey disowned with his family, she didn't ask too much when she saw Casey's thoughtful look.

"Will you always love me?" Edith asked.

Casey smiled and said, "Of course, I will only have you in my life. Don't be fooled by Margaret's words, she wants to drive a wedge between us."

Seeing Casey so sure, Edith also nodded, no longer thinking about the mess.

During this time, Casey was nice to her. Compared to Margaret's suggestive words, she naturally believed Casey more.

After they got home, Amara scolded Casey, making Casey and Edith look dumbfounded.

"Mom, what are you doing. What happened? Why do you scold him as soon as you come back?" Edith said angrily.

Amara glared at Casey, gritted her teeth and said, "He's a jerk, did he get into trouble outside again? Francis called me in person and said that Casey made them be disgraced. He hurled abuse at me. Then, should I scold him?"

Edith immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that after Francis went back, he was angry, so he took it out on Amara.

"Mom, things are not like what you think. Casey didn't get into trouble. Grandpa and the others were too much," Edith explained.

"Don't stay here to defend this jerk. I have already seen it clearly. You are completely bewitched by him. No matter what he does, you will be always on his side," Amara said gloomily.

Edith was aggrieved. She defended Casey because Casey didn't do anything wrong. Unexpectedly, Amara said that she was bewitched by Casey.

"Your grandfather wants you to go to him tomorrow. Edith, you really can't continue with this jerk, or he will ruin you for the rest of your life!"

Amara said another word, and then returned to the room angrily.

Edith looked helpless, turned her head and glanced at Casey, and said, "It seems that Grandpa is a little bit about angry what happened today."

Casey smiled and said, "He is angry, it's his business. I didn't do anything wrong. I even asked the Gary family to invite them to the dinner. They made trouble for themselves. If he wants to make trouble because of this, then I will take on him to the end."

Edith nodded, this time she intended to fully support Casey.

The next day, Casey and Edith went to the Patel family's mansion.

Francis sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, and Albie and Nyla were standing on sides. Both of them looked gloomy.

Casey and Edith arrived in front of Francis, Francis immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Casey, you sinner, kneel down!"

"Grandpa, what's my fault?" Casey stood still and asked.

"Casey, are you really stupid or fake? Yesterday you caused us to be ashamed at the Gary Family Dinner. Do you still have no idea what you've done wrong??" Francis said coldly.

After they left the dinner party yesterday, they have been complaining that all this was Casey's fault. If it weren't for Casey, Hugo would not have said that.

Francis felt that Casey had been invited to the dinner by the Gary family, while he was invited only because of Casey's require, which made him uncomfortable.

He let Casey kneel down, also wanting to prove his majesty of the head of the family, but Casey did not obey his words.

"Am I the one who made you ashamed? I asked Hugo to invite you to the dinner, but you insisted that I slipped in and wanted to drive Edith and me out. Can you blame me?" Casey asked.

Francis was embarrassed. In the final analysis, it was his own fault.

"You are so hypocritical. Don't think that you are right to talk to us like this when you get support from Hugo. You are just a stooge of the Gary family. Hugo can kick you away at any time. When I marry into the Davies family in B City, the Gary will mean nothing to me. Don't be so conceited," Nyla said aggressively.

"Stop!" Francis snorted coldly, "Casey, you asked Hugo to invite me to the dinner on purpose, right. You have been bullied here, so after approaching Hugo, you wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on me, right?"

"Grandpa, Casey really asked Patriarch Gu to invite you to the dinner with sincerity," Edith said immediately.

"Shut up, you do not have any place in this conversation," Francis shouted.

He looked at Casey again.

"I don't care if you get support from Hugo or not. What you rely on now is still the Patel family, and I am the one in power!"

"Your behavior this time has angered me, and I can kick you out of the Patel's house at any time. But because you found Doctor Owen to treat me, I can forgive you this time. But you must go to tell Hugo, asked him to recognize the status of the Patel family and let him apologize to me."

Francis stated his true purpose. If Casey could make Hugo recognize the Patel family’s status and apologize to him, then everyone in J City would have a high regard for the Patel family in the future. Then, what happened this time would be okay.

"Sorry, I can't do this. If you want to get the recognition of Hugo, you'd better concentrate on developing the company instead of thinking about these crooked ways," Casey said.

Francis immediately stared. He never expected Casey to refuse.

"Grandpa, I said he was just a stooge of the Gary family, how could he be qualified to persuade Hugo to apologize to you," Nyla muttered.

"That's right, he couldn't do this kind of thing, but still pretended to be so impartiality. He really thinks highly of himself," Albie echoed.

Francis's expression became even more ugly, and he said, "I don't care if you can do it or not. If you can't, I will kick you out of the Patel family!"

Casey thought that he had never cared the Patel family. He would still be able to live a great life, even if he left the Patel family.

By now, he didn't want to give in to Francis.

But before he could speak, Edith took a step forward and said, "Grandpa, if you want to drive him out, then I will go with him!"

"Well, are you threatening me?" Francis said coldly.

"I didn't want to threaten you. It's just that if you do it, it is too unfair to Casey. Don't forget, the project of TY Group is Casey's credit. If he leaves now, I will go with him, and TY Group will immediately terminate the cooperation with the Patel family. You should know best what kind of crisis the Patel family will face,” Edith said slowly but firmly.

"Grandpa, this slut threatened you with the project between TY Group. Does she think that without her, the Patel family would not survive? I think they should be driven out together." Nyla incited.

She and Albie wished that Edith and Casey would be kicked out together.

Francis hesitated, because without the project of TY Group, the Patel family really couldn't survive now.

Nyla and Albie only knew how to benefit from the company. How could they consider the company's situation?

Casey also didn't expect Edith to threaten Francis with the project for him. He knew that it meant to offend Francis openly.

Even if Francis didn't drive them out, he would never be kind to them in the future.

Although Francis knew it clearly, he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he glared at Edith and said, "Edith, you are really traitorous. You dare to talk to me like this. You don't recognize me as your grandfather, do you!"

"If you insist on driving us away, you won't be my grandfather," Edith said firmly.

"Get out of here, get out of here! Don't say you are my granddaughter from now on. Don't let me see you again!" Francis threw the cups on the table directly.

Edith grabbed Casey's hand directly and led him out of the Patel family's mansion.

"I'm afraid the Patel family will embarrass you in the future," Casey said on the way back.

"Even if I don't do this, they will also embarrass me. I don't want to be compliant anymore. It's good now," Edith said with a smile.

Casey laughed and saw Edith made a change for him, and he was moved.

After all, Francis still did not drive Casey and Edith out of the Patel family, because the TY Group's project was indeed related to the Patel family's lifeblood, and he had no guts to do so.

It's just that since then, Francis had never called Edith for any family meetings or dinner parties.

Edith was so happy about that, only caring about the project, which made it easier for her.

This morning, Edith took a break, and Amara came over and said to her, "Edith, your cousin will come over later. You drive to the train station to pick him up."

"Cousin? Alexander?" Edith asked.

"Yeah, who else is there but him," Amara said.

Edith frowned immediately and said, "What is he doing here?"

Alexander was an uneducated man, and Edith had never liked him.

"We live a good life and live in a villa now, so Alexander wanted to be here to have fun for a few days. Why are you frowning? He your cousin. Go pick him up quickly," Amara said with dissatisfaction.

Edith finally took a day off and didn't want to pick up her cousin, so she gave Casey the car key and asked Casey to pick him up.

Casey distressed Edith, and immediately took the car key and went to the train station.

Not long after Casey left, Diana arrived at Hazelfield Estate.

The two girls were sitting on the sofa and chatting. Edith complained about the disfavor she received at the company recently. Diana kept comforting her.

After a while, Diana asked, "Edith, is Casey not at home?"

Edith nodded and said, "He's going to pick up my cousin."

Diana rolled her eyes, took out her phone, and said, "By the way, I remember that I took a lot of photos the last time I went out to play. Let me show you."
