After hearing what Albie said, admiration appeared on Nyla's face.
"Albie, that's a good idea. So, Edith can't be complacent anymore." Nyla smiled.
"Of course. I should be the one who is in charge of the company. Who is she? Dare she compete with me for the family property," Albie said coldly.
"By the way, Grayson is a lascivious. He agreed to me this time because I told him that he could use this thing to coerce Edith and let her have sex with him. When he achieves his aim, he can hand over the project to me, then Edith is toast." Albie continued.
Nyla also laughed, and she was very happy to see Edith's miserable situation.
"Albie, your plan is really amazing, even I admire you." Nyla smiled and said, then took out a small mirror from her bag and powdered her nose.
Albie took a look at Nyla's bag and lipstick, and said, "You have really had a good time recently. This pack costs 20,000. This lipstick is also a limited edition."
"Oh, just so so. I still have a lot of bags and lipsticks like this at home," Nyla said with a smile.
Albie immediately stared, and asked, "How did you get so much money?"
Nyla chuckled and said, "I sold one of the antiques that Davies' family sent me. And hat antique is really valuable. I didn't expect it to be sold for that much money."
"You actually sold Grandpa's antiques!" Albie exclaimed.
Nyla looked indifferent and said, "Those antiques were originally given to me, so what if I sell one. Anyway, I will marry to the Davies family sooner or later. It's better to live in comfort now. Or others may think I am impoverished when I get married."
Albie glanced at Nyla in admiration and smiled, "That's right, those things will be yours sooner or later. Nyla, how much money did you get by selling antiques. Can you share with me? I am really strapped for cash."
"No problem, I sold a white jade bottle for 8 million, but I'm running out of money. I plan to sell the wooden sculpture. I have an acquaintance, and that man offers me $10 million," Nyla said excitedly.
Albie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great, I'll go with you then."
Nyla nodded, did not refuse.
Nyla didn't know that the white jade bottle she sold had a market value of more than 100 million, while the value of the wooden sculpture was even higher.
When the person who bought her antique saw that she didn't know much about antiques, he cheated her severely.
...
Early the next morning, Casey stood by Edith's door, waiting to explain to her about the Starry Night Club.
Before long, the door opened. Edith walked out of the room with her eyes were red and swollen.
She was not surprised when she saw Casey standing at the door, and planned to bypass Casey directly and go downstairs to wash.
Casey looked at Edith like this, with a distressed look, reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
"Edith, I went to Starry Night Club yesterday to find a friend to deal with things. If you don't believe me, I can ask my friend to come over, and we will confront each other," Casey explained.
"No," Edith said coldly.
Casey didn't expect Edith's attitude to be so cold that she didn't even give him a chance to explain.
"Don't you believe me?" Casey asked.
Edith smiled, without any feeling.
"It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. I'm going to wash up, or I will be late for work later," Edith said.
Casey frowned. Normally, his visit to Starry Night Club was not supposed to have such a big impact on Edith. Was it something else that made Edith like this??
But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any other reason that could make Edith be so indifferent to him.
Edith ignored Casey and went downstairs to wash up. During breakfast, she received a call, then she looked paler.
"Mom, you can eat first. There's something urgent in the company. I'll leave now." She got up directly, took a coat and left the house.
"Edith, why are you so anxious? You have to divorce Casey today," Amara said immediately.
Edith ignored her.
Casey wondered if he had to go to the company with Edith. At this time, Amara walked up to him and said, "There is something in Edith's company. Your divorce can be done later, but you have to give me ten million first."
"Mom, stop making trouble, Edith won't divorce me." Casey was speechless. At this time, Amara was still trying to make money out of him.
"Who said she wouldn't divorce you. Edith personally told me yesterday that you cheated on her and she couldn't live with you anymore. Ten million is for my daughter's mental loss," Amara said plausibly.
"Cheat?" Casey was taken aback, then remembered the photo secretly taken by Diana.
Did Diana really show that photo to Edith?
If that was the case, it could explain why Edith was so angry.
He cursed secretly, did not continue to pay attention to Amara, and left the villa immediately.
Amara yelled, "You bastard. Even dare to run away when hearing I ask you for money. I knew you were reluctant to give my daughter ten million."
At this time, Alexander walked out and heard what Amara said, he said, "Auntie, you underestimate Casey. Ten million is nothing to him."
Amara curled her lips and said, "Are you kidding me? Don't be funny, he is a wimp. He can never have ten million."
"Aunt, if Casey doesn't even have ten million, how could he afford this villa," Alexander said with a smile.
