Seeing Edith's resolute attitude, Francis was also a little helpless. After all, he didn't show any mercy when he said he was going to drive Edith out.
"Edith, you are ingrate! The Patel family is in trouble now, you don't even help us. You don't deserve grandfather's upbringing," Nyla said aggressively.
"That is, the Patel family really raised an ungrateful so-and-so," Albie also said.
Edith laughed. She really didn't expect these people to be so shameless. Just now they all said that she had nothing to do with the Patel family. Now they said she was ungrateful.
"Nyla, you caused the incident this time, and it has nothing to do with me. Everyone here is troubled by you. What right do you have here to blame others?"
"It is that you forced me to break up with the Patel family. Now you say that I am ungrateful. However, I do have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the 80 million."
Edith stared at Nyla with a sneer.
Everyone originally planned to follow Nyla to accuse Edith. However, after hearing her words, they immediately realized that culprit of this incident was Nyla, which had nothing to do with Edith.
Nyla forced Edith to disassociate from the Patel family. Thus, it was reasonable for Edith not to pay any money.
Everyone immediately pointed the finger at Nyla.
"Nyla, don't blame others. Tell us quickly, for the 80 million, what are you going to do?
"That's right, I was almost misled by you. Why should we collect 80 million together? This is your own fault. Your family should sell everything you have to pay it."
"I haven't started enjoying a happy life, but was cheated by you. Don't want to change the subject!"
...
Nyla panicked right away. Unexpectedly, everyone didn't accuse Edith, but started accusing her.
She gave Edith a resentful look, turned her head to look at the crowd, and said, "The Patel family is in trouble now. You are supposed to offer help. Do you want grandpa to bear the 80 million alone?"
Everyone didn't expect Nyla to be so shameless, and they wanted to drown her with accusations.
Amara and Nicholas saw that things had become like this, and suddenly felt a little grateful. The depression of Edith's being driven out of the Patel family was swept away
"It serves you right! You were so triumphant, no you are in trouble," Amara muttered.
Edith didn't want to listen to these people arguing anymore, and walked directly out of the villa.
When Amara and Nicholas saw this, they both hurriedly followed.
Although knowing that leaving at this moment seemed a bit ungallant, after all, Nicholas was also Francis' son, Nicholas didn't feel guilty when thinking of Nicholas' harshness to their family over the years.
And it was Francis who said he was going to cut all ties with Edith, which was not their fault.
It was a big joke to share the owes with people who refused to share its joys with you.
"Wait a minute." Margaret shouted when the Edith and her parents were about to leave.
Everyone turned their heads and looked over, wondering why Margaret would stop Edith.
Nyla and Albie both sneered when they saw this scene.
"She is definitely going to trouble Edith. Edith thinks she will be fine if she doesn't have anything to do with us, she is really dreaming," Nyla said angrily.
Nyla didn't think she could be in a more terrible position. If Edith could be in trouble as her, she was naturally happy.
"I hope the Davies family won't let her go, otherwise she would have escaped this disaster, and it would be a favor to her." Albie also gritted his teeth.
Edith glanced at Margaret and didn't know what she wanted to do, but she knew that she couldn't talk about the relationship between Casey and Margaret, so she pretended not to know Margaret.
Amara was nervous, she was still very afraid of the woman who had slapped her before. Seeing Margaret stopped them, she was also stunned.
Margaret's beautiful eyes turned lightly. She smiled and said, "I think you are nice. I will give you these antiques."
After hearing Margaret's words, the expression on the Patel family members who were about to gloat stiffened instantly. Their looks turned to be gloomy.
These antiques were all worth hundreds of millions. Nyla sold two of them. If she wanted to get them back, they have to pay 80 million dollars, which made the whole Patel family be in trouble.
However, Margaret actually gave these antiques to Edith with a word, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Originally, they thought that Edith would be driven out of the Patel family and her life would be very desolate in the future.
But in the blink of an eye, Edith not only didn't have to bear 80 million, but also got so many valuable antiques without any difficulties. Compared with them, it was a heaven and a hell.
"Why... Why, didn't you say that I am not worthy of these things? She is also from the Patel family, why are you giving these things to her?" Nyla said with red eyes.
Margaret turned her head and glanced at her, and said, "You are indeed unworthy, but I never said she is unworthy. It is easy to know who is the better one when she is standing with you. Are you doubting my way of seeing people?"
Nyla had nothing to say immediately. She only felt a deep sense of frustration. She and Edith had been compared for so many years, even if Edith married Casey, she still couldn't beat Edith.
