Francis and Nyla looked at Casey together. Francis was a little angry, and Nyla just looked down upon Casey.
Edith did not expect that Casey would be here at that time. Although she knew Casey had no way to change the decision made by Francis, she felt warm when she heard what Casey said just now.
“What are you doing here? You’re such an idiot. How can you come here?” Nyla said,
“I come here to take my wife home,” Casey said indifferently.
“Really?” Nyla obviously looked down upon Casey.
Edith turned to Casey, and she was already in tears.
Casey wiped her tears with his hands and smiled, “Don’t cry. I won't let you leave me.”
Edith wanted to say something, but she sighed finally when she thought that Francis insisted on asking her to divorce.
“Casey. I think you heard what I said just now. You can’t stay with Edith anymore, so you have to divorce later. As compensation, I will give you a sum of money so that you can survive. This is my greatest kindness to you,” Francis said.
“Sorry, I don’t need your kindness.” Casey replied to him.
Francis stared at him and said, “What? Do you want to continue to stay in our Pate family? You shall know that Edith should have made a better choice. She had no choice but to marry you at that time, but now, you cannot stop her from pursuing a happy life anymore.”
“You ask her to marry Hunter just for the cooperation of the project. That is not what she wants. How can you say that you do it for her happiness?” Casey did not flinch.
He never had any weakness in dealing with the problems related to Edith.
“How dare you!” Francis did not think that Casey would talk to him this way, so he was angry to death.
Nyla stared at Casey and said to him, “You are right. My grandpa asked her to marry Hunter just for the cooperation of the project with TY Group. And this project is very important to our Patel family.”
“As long as Edith divorces you and then marries Hunter, we can cooperate with TY Group. This is what she should do for the Patel family. What about you? What can you do for our family? You are such an idiot. How can you talk to my grandpa this way?”
“If you are promising, my grandpa will not ask Edith to marry Hunter. Generally speaking, Edith suffers from everything just because of you.”
Francis really agreed with Nyla. He said to Casey, “I agree with Nyla. If you don’t want to divorce, you have to negotiate successfully for this project. Can you do it?”
Edith sighed. She knew that Hunter was in charge of this project, so Casey could not negotiate successfully for this project.
She pulled Casey’s arm and said, “Casey, stop talking about it. I think that is my destiny.”
Casey said immediately, “I have negotiated successfully for this project, so we don’t have to divorce.”
They were surprised but also doubted it when they heard that.
“Casey, don’t lie to us. Why can you negotiate successfully for this project? Hunter told me that only when Edith divorces you, will he cooperate with us.” Nyla did not believe him.
“In my opinion, you are just good-for-nothing and a liar. So it is right to ask Edith to divorce you,” Francis said coldly.
“Casey, I know you just do it for me. However......” Edith said with nervousness.
Casey took out the contract directly and hung it over to Francis, “I take the contract here. If you don’t believe me, you can check this contract.”
Francis was surprised again. He took over the contract in a hurry and read it carefully.
Edith also thought that was unbelievable. She did not expect that Casey would get the contract.
However, Hunter was in charge of this project. How could he give Casey the contract?
Nyla also doubted if Casey told the truth. Because she could not believe that Casey could get the contract from TY Group.
“Grandpa, don’t trust him. I think he must have got a fake contract and then lied to you. He is so silly that he thinks that he can gain your trust with such a fake contract,” Nyla said.
She believed that this contract was fake. Because Hunter told her that he would sign the contract with them only when Edith promised to marry him.
Francis also thought that the contract was fake. However, after he read it carefully, he found that it could not be fake at all.
What’s more, there was the signature of Chairman Charles Clinton and the seal of TY Group.
