"Edith, did you really not consider working in TY Group? That's a big company. They expressed willingness to hire you, which shows that your ability has met their requirements. If you go to work there, you will definitely earn more money."
On the way to the Patel family’s mansion, Amara tried her best to persuade Edith.
"Mom, are you crazy? Grandpa is seriously ill now. If I accept the invitation of TY Group now, what will the people in Patel family think of me?" Edith said.
After hearing this, Amara felt a little reasonable, then she said, "Then you can go to work in TY Group after your grandfather's illness is cured. But I don't know if they still want to hire you or not at that time."
"As long as she’s willing, TY Group will always welcome her." Casey, who was driving, said.
Amara immediately glared at Casey and said, "You’re not qualified to comment it. My daughter is awesome, so she is favored by TY Group. But you are becoming more and more useless. What have you done to deserve my daughter? If it weren’t that the villa was written with your name, I would have driven you out of our home."
Casey remained silent, letting Amara judge him.
"Mom, enough. I won't go to TY Group. Even if Grandpa is unfair to me, I’m a member of Patel family. As long as Grandpa doesn’t kick me out, I will continue to work in the company." Edith said firmly.
Amara became silent immediately. She was fancying the salary offered by TY Group, but Edith did not agree. She also had no ways.
Casey glanced at Edith in the rearview mirror. It was him who let TY Group invite Edith to work in TY Group.
But since Edith didn't want to go over, he didn't force her.
‘If you still want to continue working in the company of Patel family, I will help you to be manager. No matter where you are, you must have the right. Only in this way can you not be bullied so easily by others.’ Casey thought.
Soon, they arrived at the Patel family’s mansion. There were already many cars parked in front of the villa. All of them came to visit Francis.
Francis' condition was a bit serious this time. Many doctors had been invited to treat his illness, but there was no particularly good solution.
Many people felt that Francis might have not much time left. They all rush to show up in front of Francis so that they could get more money when the property was divided.
The happiest one was Albie. His father wasn’t at home all year round and had no time to come back, either. If Francis couldn't manage Patel family's affairs, he could directly become the head of power of Patel family.
Of course, the prerequisite for these was that Francis was dead. Otherwise, as long as Francis was still alive, he could only wait.
The Amara family walked into the villa. The relatives of Patel family all turned to look over. Everyone looked at Edith with full of hostility.
"Everyone, this time, the reason why my Grandpa got seriously ill is because of Edith. Such an unfilial granddaughter! If it weren’t that she betrayed Patel family and went to work in TY Group, Grandpa would not be so angry and then get ill. She is the real murderer!" Nyla took the lead and said.
Everyone began to accuse Edith.
"That's right. It's because of this mean woman, otherwise how could Mr. Francis suddenly become seriously ill?"
"Patel family is now relying on the leadership of Mr. Francis. Now the project of TY Group has stopped. Besides, Mr. Francis is seriously ill. Patel family is at the critical time. It’s Edith who caused all these."
"If Mr. Francis is gone, what should we do? What should Patel family do? Edith, can you bear this responsibility?"
Although everyone was accusing Edith, they were already happy in their hearts. The project of TY Group had stopped, which was a huge loss to Patel family. Besides, because of the previous investment, it was likely that Patel family wouldn’t recover after the setback.
Now if Mr. Francis died, they would be able to get some property directly. Otherwise, if Francis asked them to take money out to run Patel family, they would of course not be willing.
Edith looked at everyone in Patel family with a dazed expression. She didn’t expect that she would suddenly become the "murderer".
"Can all of you stop being so mean? Grandpa got sick this time because the project of TY Group was terminated. What does it have to do with me?" Edith retorted.
"Humph, the project of TY Group also has something to do with you. You definitely have colluded with TY Group. Otherwise, after they terminated the project, why did they want to hire you? Why didn't they recruit Albie?" Nyla offered the lame excuse.
Edith was speechless. She thought, ‘Don’t you know why they didn't recruit Albie?’
At this time, Albie just came down from the stairs and heard what Nyla said. His face was full of embarrassment.
Although he wanted to see Nyla embarrass Edith, he didn't want others to mention this matter. After all, the president of TY Group said he was a loser. He didn't want others to know about it.
"Stop arguing! Grandpa is not dead yet. But you say those things here. Do you want to curse him to die soon?" Albie said coldly.
A group of people fell silent immediately.
"Grandpa asked you all to go upstairs. Wise up. If anyone makes Grandpa’s condition worse, he is the sinner of Patel family!" When Albie was speaking, he looked like the host of Patel family. Everyone knew that he was the one who wanted Francis to die the most.
Then everyone went upstairs to the room where Francis was.
Francis was lying on the bed with having an intravenous drip. Albie invited a private doctor over to check Francis.
"His situation is not well. Although the situation has stabilized, I don't know if he can get better. I have tried my best. This is what I can do." The private doctor said.
"You are already the best doctor in J City. If you can’t cure Grandpa..." Nyla said.
The private doctor glared at her immediately and motioned her not to say it out. Nyla shut up immediately.
"Mr. Francis, your family is here. Now you can tell them what you want to say." The private doctor said to Francis.
Francis reluctantly sat up from the bed, his face pale.
