As the people of the Patel family, who had been raging, saw Francis coming, they immediately fell silent and all took a few steps back.
They came to Amara's house without Francis' permission. From what Francis just said, it seemed like he would support Casey. So, no one dared to walk ahead at this time.
The relatives, who were the most excited before, instantly became like ostriches and hid behind others.
Seeing that the visitor was Francis, Nyla was nervous. Thinking of that she had just said Francis was ungrateful, she was scared and her legs were weak.
Francis knew the truth of this matter. That day, he specifically told her not to interfere in the company's affairs. Now that she had incited so many people to trouble Casey, Francis would definitely not let her go.
What's more, she just spoke out of turn to Francis. She was afraid that just because of this, Francis would be furious.
"Grandpa, why are you here? This place is so shabby. You'd better go back to the villa and rest." Nyla quickly said.
Francis stared at Nyla with a gloomy face. He had intended to come here today and asked Casey to go to the TY Group again to save this cooperation.
For the sake of this cooperation, he had decided to drop his pride to and come to find Casey, a trash. In his opinion, coming to Casey in person was a great honor for Casey.
But what Francis didn't expect was that Nyla brought so many people to Amara's house to force Casey and Edith to divorce. Nyla even put her blame on Casey, which made Francis feel that Nyla didn't take his words seriously and ignored his authority.
Besides, Nyla said that he was ungrateful just now. As the most powerful person in the Patel family, Francis naturally couldn't tolerate such things.
He glared at Nyla, then raised his hand and slapped Nyla.
This was the second time Francis slapped her. But Nyla didn't dare to resist at all.
When the Patel family's relatives saw this scene, they were all shocked, wondering if Francis had changed his temper. He usually favored Nyla. But now, he slapped her.
"It seems that my punishment for you is not severe enough. Did you forget what I told you? You dare to come here to make trouble. Do you want to be kicked out of the Patel family?" Francis said in a cold voice.
Nyla's face became pale. She quickly begged Francis for forgiveness, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Francis's arm, looking pitiful.
Francis coldly snorted and shook Nyla's hand off.
At this time, Nyla's mother couldn't stand it any longer and took a step forward, "Dad, it's true that Nyla's words were a little too much. But she did not mean to. You can't kick her out because of that."
"Yes, Mr. Patel. Nyla is doing it for the good of our Patel family. Casey has ruined the cooperation with the TY Group. Even if you want to drive someone away, the one should be Casey."
"Drive Casey away. It's all because of Casey this time. He can't stay in the Patel family anymore!"
…
A group of people pointed towards Casey, trying to take this opportunity to get Francis to personally make the decision to drive Casey away.
Francis remained unmoved and said with an exasperated look on his face, "Who told you that Casey was the one who ruined the cooperation this time? Casey brought back the contract of the TY Group. It was this bastard who broke it. Now, she even slander others shamelessly!"
When people heard Francis's words, they were shocked and looked at Nyla in disbelief.
"Dad, how could the contract be broken by Nyla? There must be some misunderstanding." Nyla's mother argued.
"I saw it with my own eyes. How can there be misunderstanding? Do you mean I'm old and stupid?" Francis snorted coldly.
Nyla's mother didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Edith stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, Casey and I had intended to let Nyla go. But Nyla bullied us to the extreme and even brought so many people to my house to make trouble. Please uphold justice for us this time."
Nyla quickly said, "Grandpa, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will marry into B City's Davies family. You can't drive me away."
Francis had intended to punish Nyla severely. But when he heard her words, his heart was softened again.
Nyla was his chance to have connections with the Davies family. So, he naturally was reluctant to drive Nyla away.
"Edith, Nyla is young and not sensible. Let's just let it go. I will forbid them to talk about it and give you some compensation. What do you think?" Francis finally said.
Edith felt disappointed. Nyla had gone so far. But Francis even wanted to shield her.
"All of you remember that whoever dares to force Casey and Edith to divorce again will be kicked out of the Patel family!" Francis spoke loudly.
Everyone in the room was silent. Although they hated Casey, no one dared to disobey Francis' order.
After saying that, looking at Casey, Francis smiled and said, "Casey, you are wronged this time. Since the TY Group has agreed to cooperate with us, they should not go back on their promise. So, please go and ask them for another contract."
When Amara heard this, she immediately pushed Casey and said, "What are you doing? Reply quickly."
