The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 11

Albie was stunned briefly, but he immediately pouted at Edith and said, “Edith, even if you want to lie to me, you should try to come up with something better. You have never leave the door of the villa, yet you said that you are able to borrow TY Manor? How did you do that? With your imagination?”

Everybody burst into laughter.

“I think there’s something wrong with her head, she must be imagining things lately.” Nyla scoffed.

Edith didn’t care about these people’s reaction as she showed Francis her phone. She said, “Grandpa, the general manager of TY Real Estate Inc. has just sent me a message saying that the company could lend us TY Manor.”

Francis peeked at Edith’s phone for a while and then immediately caressed his beard while saying, “I have predicted that TY Real Estate Inc. will show us some respect and I’m right. Since they are willing to lend us TY Manor, then this matter is settled. Edith, I will leave the organizing of the antique exhibition to you, and I’ll pay you half a year’s worth of salary as remuneration.”

“Thanks, grandpa.” Edith hastily replied.

Albie and the others were stunned by what they had just witnessed. Judging from Francis’s reaction, he didn’t look like he was joking at all. What Edith had claimed was actually real.

“So that’s it for this matter today. You guys must help Edith in the preparation for the exhibition and you must know that Edith is a talented member of the Patel family. You must learn from her from time to time.” Francis finished his words and got up, preparing to go upstairs to rest for the night.

Edith looked at Albie and Nyla with a smile on her face, and she immediately turned around and left the Patel family villa with Casey.

Albie was so furious right now that he punched hard on the sofa.

“This damn bitch, how could she be so lucky? She is even able to borrow the TY Manor, I think she is way too lucky for her own good.” Albie said while gritting his teeth.

“Humph, she’s just lucky, that’s all. Who knows whether she has used any despicable means to achieve something like this.” Nyla was unwilling to acknowledge her too.

A cold light flashed in Albie’s eyes as he said coldly, “Even though she was able to borrow the TY Manor, that won’t stop me from targeting her. I still have a lot of tricks up my sleeve. Nyla, you just wait, I will let her die a terrible death this time!”

…

On the way back, Edith was still contemplating something, but in the end she decided to bring it up, “Was it you who asked the general manager of TY Real Estate Inc. to send that message?”

“What message are you talking about? I don’t know anything about that.” Casey replied with a smile.

“Humph, you better not hide anything from me. Although the fact that grandpa is planning to organize an antique exhibition is not a secret, but there was no way the TY Real Estate Inc. would know about this. And besides, just seconds after grandpa had set the condition for me to borrow the TY Manor, their general manager immediately sent a message about this particular matter. I won’t believe that this is just a coincidence.” Edith said logically.

After hearing Edith’s reasoning, Casey replied with a smile, “Then there is no reason for me to hide anything from you anymore. Actually, I’m the owner of TY Manor.”

Edith poked Casey in his waist and scolded him, “I’m being serious about this, stop fooling around with me.”

Casey realized that Edith wouldn’t believe him, so he continued helplessly, “I have told you before that I have friends working in TY Real Estate Inc., so it’s not a big deal to ask for his help.”

Edith finally believed him as she replied, “Casey, it’s not easy for you to have such a friend. You must thank him later on. Since your reputation is not good all the while, you should try your best to keep this important friend.”

“Alright, you don’t need to tell me that,” Casey replied casually.

That afternoon, the whole Patel family finally learned of the news about the owner of TY Manor willing to lend the place to the Patel family. Somebody had even paid a visit to pass the key of TY Manor to Edith.

This incident successfully made those who didn’t believe Edith shut their mouths.
