The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 16

Nyla was about to walk towards Aryan. She had a smile on her face; she was secretly excited but kept her cool. She wanted to show her best to her future husband.

Everyone in the garden was watching Nyla. These women were full of envy, and they secretly hated that the people of TY Manor did not choose them instead.

Just as everyone thought that the master of TY Manor was going to call on Nyla, Aryan called out Edith's name.

Everyone was taken by surprise, and immediately began to look around for Edith.

"The master of TY Manor picked Edith? Wasn’t it Nyla?"

"Yeah, how could it be Edith? Isn't she already married?"

"How could this be? It’s not Nyla? A few days ago, everyone said it would be Nyla. I even gave her a lot of gifts to get on her good side. Now it’s all for nothing."

"Me too. When I heard that it was going to be Nyla, I immediately went over to suck up to her. I can’t believe it’s not her. What a waste of my efforts."

...

Nyla had already taken a step out. Just now, she was still pondering what kind of pace she should take to highlight her dignity.

But her foot did not even touch the ground yet when Aryan called out Edith's name. This made her freeze in place, and that foot remained in the air for a long time.

She felt her face turn red hot, and embarrassment rushed all over her body.

"How... How could it be that slut Edith! The master of TY Manor should pick me!"

Nyla still couldn't believe it, and resentment towards Edith swelled up in her heart.

Albie, who stood next to Nyla, also had a puzzled look. He looked at Aryan and asked loudly, "Is there a mistake? The person your master wants to see should be Nyla, no?"

Aryan glanced at Albie and Nyla, and said loudly, "No mistake; the master will receive Miss Edith. As for Nyla, the master never mentioned her."

Aryan's words caused an uproar, and it made Nyla even more embarrassed. Now she wanted to find a crack in the wall to hide inside.

"Edith, you bitch, what drugs did you use to make the master of TY Manor choose you?" Nyla gritted her teeth; she firmly believed that Edith used some demeaning methods to steal her opportunity.

Edith stood in place with a look of ignorance; she had not yet processed what just happened. She didn't expect that the master of TY Manor was going to pick her.

Those who once mocked her were regretting their actions right now, and they all wished they could slap themselves.

It didn’t matter why the owner of the TY Manor chose Edith; she now had ties to the master of TY Manor. It would be difficult for them to ask Edith for favors in the future.

Francis always thought that the master of TY Manor would pick Nyla. After he heard Aryan call out Edith's name, even he was a little surprised.

No matter; whoever the master chose, that person would be a member of his family, so he was not as surprised as the rest.

Besides, he thought that Casey was useless. Edith was wrong to have married Casey. He opposed the marriage before, but in the end, he didn't blame his wife.

Now if the master of TY Manor could accept that Edith had married, he hoped that Edith will leave Casey and maintain a good relationship with the owner of the TY Manor.

"Well, Edith, don't just stand there. The master of TY Manor wants to see you, so hurry up." Francis said.

Edith returned to her senses.

Aryan looked on Edith with respect, and gestured an invitation, "Miss Edith, please come with us."
