The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 174

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared abruptly, and the whole villa immediately became quiet.

At the beginning, the lively atmosphere also cooled down instantly, and everyone looked at Margaret in amazement, wondering what was going on.

Francis was even more confused, thinking that she was here to propose marriage, how could she say such a thing. Was it because she thought the Patel family was not as good as the Davies family, and wanted to cow them into submission?

Not only did he think so, but Nyla also thought so.

"Mother-in-law, don't make jokes with us. Although the Patel family is not as good as the Davies family, as long as your son lives a happy life with me, it doesn't matter," Nyla said with a smile.

Everyone hurried to echo.

After hearing what Nyla said, Margaret frowned immediately, then walked to Nyla, raised her hand and slapped her.

With a crisp and loud sound.

Everyone knew now that Margaret was not joking.

"Don't you know how you are? Dare you, a tawdry woman, want to marry into the Davies family!" Margaret said rudely.

Nyla covered her face. She had been looking forward to this event since the Davies family came to give gifts, thinking that when the day the Davies family came to propose her marriage, she would have a good time.

But what she didn't expect was that this day would turn out to be such a result.

"You... why are you hitting me?" Nyla said flatly.

"Because you are ingrate," Margaret said.

Nyla was anxious immediately. At this time, she didn't care if the person in front of her was from the Davies family. The personality she developed from childhood made her be unable to endure when being slapped by others.

She was about to hit Margaret right away, but just as soon as she raised her hand, a bodyguard behind Margaret rushed in front of Nyla and slapped her face again.

The strength of the bodyguard was much greater than Margaret's, and Nyla's face became swollen with this slap.

Nyla couldn't hold back and started crying.

Sally and Jakub hurried over to support Nyla and comfort her.

"No matter when, people should have self-knowledge. If you don't have that ability, don't climb social ladder," Margaret said contemptuously.

No one in the room dared to refute. They had all seen the skill of Margaret's bodyguards just now. At this time, talking too much was undoubtedly dicing with death.

Francis' look turned to be gloomy. He originally thought Margaret was just trying to cow them into submission, but he didn't expect she really looked down on them.

It seemed that they were coming for proposing marriage at all, but for making trouble.

"Since you are not here to propose marriage, please explain your intentions. Although the Patel is not as good as the Davies family. We are not people that can be handled by others. If you deliberately come to make trouble, we won't let you succeed," Francis said.

He originally thought that when he said this, people in the Patel family would support him very stubbornly, but he did not expect that no one would echo his words.

On the contrary, many people bowed their heads directly because of his words.

Francis cursed secretly, thinking that his family were really timid.

Margaret sneered and said, "I didn't expect the head of a little family to be spirited. It's a pity, no matter how spirited you are, you are just an ant in the eyes of the Davies family."

"I'm not here today to make you embarrassed. It's you who don't care to teach your family well. You can't blame me. I'm here today to take back the gift I gave to your family."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that the Davies family came to take back the gift they had originally given.

Francis frowned. He liked the antiques of the Davies family very much. He had already regarded them as his own. Now that the Davies family wanted to take them back, he still felt a little reluctant.

"You gave us the gift. Now you say you want to take it back. You have to give us a reason," Albie said.

"Because you are not worthy," Margaret said lightly.

Albie looked embarrassed. If he could know her answer early, he wouldn't ask her.

Francis didn't want to be too embarrassed. Since they came to ask for it, he would just give them back.

"My family doesn't care about your gifts. Go and bring all the antiques sent by the Davies family." Francis said with a gloomy look.

The expression on Nyla's face suddenly changed. At first, she always thought that these gifts from the Davies family were betrothal gifts for her, so she could sell them at will, and no one could say anything.

Now that the Davies family came. They weren't here to propose marriage at all, and they asked these gifts back, which made her panic all at once.

The two antiques sold were definitely not available. If Margaret found that two antiques were missing later, she would definitely be held accountable.

Albie also realized this problem, and walked to Nyla quickly and asked, "What should we do? Those antiques are not for you at all. Do you have any money you got from selling antiques?"

"It's all...it's all spent," Nyla looked pale.

Albie cursed, thinking it was over.

After a while, a few people brought the antiques from the Davies family.

Margaret stared at the antiques and said coldly, "There are still two pieces missing."

Francis quickly walked over, counted, and found that a white jade bottle and a wooden sculpture were indeed missing.

"Albie, go and check again. Did you forget to take them? There is one less white jade bottle and one wooden sculpture missing," Francis said to Albie.

Albie was embarrassed and said, "Grandpa...Grandpa, those two things were sold by Nyla."

Francis was taken aback, then stared at Nyla, and asked, "Who let you sell them?"

Nyla burst into tears and said, "Grandpa, I didn't expect this to happen. You said that these were gifts for me. I thought that even if I sell two of them, it doesn't matter. Who knows they are going back now and want to take these things back?"

Francis was furious at once. He didn't expect that Nyla would sell antiques. Even if these were dowry, Francis always regarded these antiques as his own and never said that Nyla was allowed to sell them.

"How much did you sell them for?" Francis asked.

"Thirty... thirty million," Nyla replied.

Francis looked at Margaret and said, "Sorry, we will replenish you with the two missing antiques. We will collect 30 million dollars soon. I hope that you can give us some time."

Margaret sneered and said, "It's really an ignorant family. Each of the little white jade bottle and gilt wooden sculpture was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You actually sold them for thirty million. It seemed that it is really a waste of these things to stay in your family."

She didn't understand why Casey asked her to take these gifts back at first, but now she finally understood.

Francis glared. He didn't expect the two antiques to be so expensive.

"You...you don't fool us. The antique buyer said that those two things are worth 30 million. You are from the Davies family anyway, but you want to cheat our money," Albie shouted.

Margaret shrugged her shoulders and said, "The prices of these two items were recorded on the Internet. If you don't believe me, you can check them yourself."

Albie took out his phone with disbelief, and many people in the living room took out their phones to check.

After a while, everyone looked uglier.

Francis looked at Albie and asked, "Is it true?"

Albie's hands began to tremble, and he said, "Yes... it's true. The price of each item is more than 100 million yuan."

Francis almost fainted with rage. Something worth more than two billion was sold for 30 million by Nyla. He really regretted how he had such a prodigal granddaughter.

"Two hundred million. How can I get two hundred million? Even if I sell the company, there is no two hundred million. Nyla, you ruined the entire Patel family!" Blue veins bulged on Francis' forehead, and he looked fierce.

Nyla and her parent were a little guilty. There was more than 10 million left on Nyla's account, but she was going to buy a villa, so she didn't say it.

"These two things are invaluable. Even if you have so much money, you may not be able to buy them. I only want my things, not money. I advise you not to waste my time. Otherwise, I won't care about the ending of you," Margaret said.

Francis immediately became anxious. It was a piece of cake for the Davies family to ruin the Patel family. And he had no doubt about the credibility of Margaret's words.

"Nyla, you caused the trouble, tell me what to do!" Francis pointed at Nyla with trembling arms.

Nyla looked desperate. The things had been sold, and she had no idea.

At this time, Albie said, "I still have the phone number of the person who bought the antiques. I will call him right now. Dare he fool us. I must kill him!"

Then Albie called that person.

After almost ten minutes, Albie hung up and looked at Francis solemnly.

"What did that guy say?" Francis asked quickly.

"He said that if we wanted to get those two antiques back, we had to give him an extra 50 million. Adding the previous 30 million, it is 80...80 million," Albie said.

Francis' legs softened and he fell directly onto the sofa. Albie hurried over to support him.

At this moment, Francis looked lifeless as if he was dying.

"80 million, how can I get 80 million. There is only 30 million on the company's account. How can I get 80 million?" Francis murmured.

Nyla walked over and said, "Grandpa...Grandpa, I have more than 10 million, which I plan to use to buy a villa."

"You are still thinking about buying a villa at this time! Sell all the things you bought during this period, and sell your house. If you can't make up the money, your family is the sinner of the Patel's family!"

Both Sally and Jakub looked terrible. They had only lived a rich life for a few days, now it was time to turn back into poor life.

"Grandpa, even if her family sells the house, they still can't make up so much money," Albie said.

Francis glanced at everyone present and said, "Now is the time when the Patel family is in danger. If the Patel family is over, all of you will be ruined. I know that you have made a lot of benefits from the company over the years. Urgently, everyone present, please take out your deposits. We can make up 80 million together."

When everyone heard that they had to pay money, they were unwilling. At the same time, they all began to resent Nyla and her family. They kept blaming Nyla, which was completely different from the time when they fawned on Nyla before.

"You have to take the money even if you don't want it. I will ask someone to check your account later. If there is no the Patel family, how can you get the money? You are ungrateful!" Francis roared.

Everyone immediately calmed down, their faces full of resentment.

"Grandpa, let Edith sell her villa. That villa is worth 15 million. With this 15 million, things will be easier," Nyla suddenly said.

Everyone turned to look at Edith.

"Edith..." Francis said embarrassingly.

"Just now you personally said that I have nothing to do with the Patel family. The Patel family's affairs have nothing to do with me. You want me to sell the villa to help you? No way," Edith said coldly.
