Albie looked at Francis with a stupefied look, and murmured "Conor". Suddenly, he remembered something, and his body stiffened.
"The Emperor of the Underground World in J City? Why, why would he help Edith..." Albie couldn't accept this result.
He originally thought he had absolute certainty today and would kick Edith out of the company. After he took over the project of TY Group, Edith would no longer be qualified to fight him.
Grayson had also told him that he would definitely not lower the price for Edith. However, it happened that at this time, Jiangma Building Materials Factory was transferred to Conor.
Was this really just a coincidence?
Albie recalled that he had been against Edith several times before. Not once did Edith really get in trouble. Instead, he was the one who was in trouble every time.
He used to think it was because Edith was lucky. However, after several times, he had to wonder if he had no capital to compare with Edith at all?
But Edith in the past was just a little better at work. Albie thought he was not much different from her, and he had a lot of contacts, it was easy to beat Edith.
Why had he lost to Edith many times?
Was there anyone who helped Edith secretly?
Albie's gaze fell on Casey. If there was really someone who was helping Edith, then Casey would be the only one.
But Casey was obviously just a wimp. Was it possible that he was not as good as a wimp?
Albie gritted his teeth, the resentment in his heart turned into murder. He even wanted to kill Edith to clear the obstacles of inheriting the Patel family.
Everyone in the Patel family saw Francis furious with Albie. Then all of them felt that Albie's performance was a little too bad.
"Albie didn't do well recently. Since Francis has an antique exhibition, Albie has not let him rest assured."
"That's right. Before he went to the south to practice, I thought he was getting better. However, I found out that he actually had the same temperament as the beggars on the street, which made me very puzzled."
"If he goes on being like this, how can he inherit the Patel family's property? Francis will definitely worry about letting him take over the Patel family."
...
Hearing everyone's talk, Albie felt a deep sense of frustration. He glanced at Edith and Casey, always feeling that they were mocking him.
"Albie, you should not intervene in the company's affairs in the future. You are not ready to take over the company. Before you are ready, the company's affairs will be handled by Edith," Francis said.
"Grandpa..." Albie immediately wanted to refute.
Francis glared at him and said, "There is no discussion about this matter. Go back and reflect on your own problems. You are so old, and you should think about what you should do."
Albie gritted his teeth. There was a hint of malice in his eyes as he looked at Francis.
"Now I announce the second thing I want to say today." Francis adjusted his emotions.
Everyone also strained their ears. At that time, they knew that the second thing Francis was going to say was related to the Davies family in B City. Thus, they were all very curious.
"I have received news that the Davies family in B City will send someone to the Patel family next week to announce one thing. If it is as expected, it should be about the gift last time. The Davies family came and told me that the daughter of the Patel family was worthy of the Davies family last time. This time they should come to propose marriage."
Francis also looked a little excited. His dissatisfaction at that moment was gone. Although this was just his guess, he couldn't think of any other reasons for the Davies family's coming.
When everyone in the living room heard Francis' words, they were all surprised. They didn't expect that after so long, they heard from Davies family finally.
One of the most excited was naturally Nyla. After hearing Francis' words, she jumped directly.
"Grandpa, are you telling the truth? The Davies family is really coming to propose marriage?" Nyla stared in anticipation.
Francis smiled and said, "If I guessed correctly, they should come for this. Nyla, you have to be prepared at that time and you can't make the Patel family ashamed."
"Don't worry, grandpa. I will must be well-dressed that day and I will definitely meet the people of the Davies family in the best condition," Nyla said seriously.
Everyone looked at Nyla with envy. If the Davies family really came to propose marriage, then Nyla would really entree into upper-class circles.
"Nyla is really blessed. She gets favor of the Davies family. We might benefit from the Davies family in the future."
"That's right, Nyla is blessed. Unlike Edith, she married to Casey, who is a wimp and can't do anything except hurt her."
"Of course, a wimp like Casey can't be compared with the Davies family. Although their surnames are the same, there is a deep gap between Casey and the Davies family."
...
"This time the Davies family is here, we must make it solemn, so that they can know the sincerity of our family. This matter is assigned to Edith. You can take the money in the company account and must be well-prepared for this," Francis said.
"Yes, grandpa," Edith responded.
Upon seeing this, Nyla immediately retorted, "Grandpa, this matter can't be assigned to Edith."
Francis looked at Nyla and asked, "Why?"
Although Nyla was equivalent to confronting him directly, he was not angry. After all, the Davies family was likely to come to propose marriage and Nyla would become a member of the Davies family. Even he must be respectful to Nyla.
