The Peremptory Casey Davies

Chapter 11 TY Manor

Albie was stunned briefly, but he immediately pouted at Edith and said, “Edith, even if you want to lie to

me, you should try to come up with something better. You have never leave the door of the villa, yet

you said that you are able to borrow TY Manor? How did you do that? With your imagination?”

Everybody burst into laughter.

“I think there’s something wrong with her head, she must be imagining things lately.” Nyla scoffed.

Edith didn’t care about these people’s reaction as she showed Francis her phone. She said, “Grandpa,

the general manager of TY Real Estate Inc. has just sent me a message saying that the company

could lend us TY Manor.”

Francis peeked at Edith’s phone for a while and then immediately caressed his beard while saying, “I

have predicted that TY Real Estate Inc. will show us some respect and I’m right. Since they are willing

to lend us TY Manor, then this matter is settled. Edith, I will leave the organizing of the antique

exhibition to you, and I’ll pay you half a year’s worth of salary as remuneration.”

“Thanks, grandpa.” Edith hastily replied.

Albie and the others were stunned by what they had just witnessed. Judging from Francis’s reaction, he

didn’t look like he was joking at all. What Edith had claimed was actually real.

“So that’s it for this matter today. You guys must help Edith in the preparation for the exhibition and you

must know that Edith is a talented member of the Patel family. You must learn from her from time to

time.” Francis finished his words and got up, preparing to go upstairs to rest for the night.

Edith looked at Albie and Nyla with a smile on her face, and she immediately turned around and left the

Patel family villa with Casey.

Albie was so furious right now that he punched hard on the sofa.

“This damn bitch, how could she be so lucky? She is even able to borrow the TY Manor, I think she is

way too lucky for her own good.” Albie said while gritting his teeth.

“Humph, she’s just lucky, that’s all. Who knows whether she has used any despicable means to

achieve something like this.” Nyla was unwilling to acknowledge her too.

A cold light flashed in Albie’s eyes as he said coldly, “Even though she was able to borrow the TY

Manor, that won’t stop me from targeting her. I still have a lot of tricks up my sleeve. Nyla, you just wait,

I will let her die a terrible death this time!”

…

On the way back, Edith was still contemplating something, but in the end she decided to bring it up,

“Was it you who asked the general manager of TY Real Estate Inc. to send that message?”

“What message are you talking about? I don’t know anything about that.” Casey replied with a smile.

“Humph, you better not hide anything from me. Although the fact that grandpa is planning to organize

an antique exhibition is not a secret, but there was no way the TY Real Estate Inc. would know about

this. And besides, just seconds after grandpa had set the condition for me to borrow the TY Manor,

their general manager immediately sent a message about this particular matter. I won’t believe that this

is just a coincidence.” Edith said logically.

After hearing Edith’s reasoning, Casey replied with a smile, “Then there is no reason for me to hide

anything from you anymore. Actually, I’m the owner of TY Manor.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Edith poked Casey in his waist and scolded him, “I’m being serious about this, stop fooling around with

me.”

Casey realized that Edith wouldn’t believe him, so he continued helplessly, “I have told you before that I

have friends working in TY Real Estate Inc., so it’s not a big deal to ask for his help.”

Edith finally believed him as she replied, “Casey, it’s not easy for you to have such a friend. You must

thank him later on. Since your reputation is not good all the while, you should try your best to keep this

important friend.”

“Alright, you don’t need to tell me that,” Casey replied casually.

That afternoon, the whole Patel family finally learned of the news about the owner of TY Manor willing

to lend the place to the Patel family. Somebody had even paid a visit to pass the key of TY Manor to

Edith.

This incident successfully made those who didn’t believe Edith shut their mouths.

What the members of the Patel family never thought of was that in addition to the owner of TY Manor

confirming the lending of the place, he was also looking to invite the prettiest girl in the Patel family to

have a meal together during the antique exhibition. This was a piece of breaking news.

This news was like a bomb for the people from the Patel family. Everybody started to guess which

lucky girl would be invited by the owner of TY Manor.

At first, all the female members of the Patel family assumed that the owner of TY Manor would invite

them.

But shortly after, they realized that the owner of TY Manor only wanted to invite the prettiest girl from

the Patel family.

And among those in the Patel family who was still single and had an outstanding appearance, Nyla was

the obvious choice.

Although Edith was prettier than Nyla, nobody would expect the owner of TY Manor to invite a married

woman.

Some even made a wild guess that the owner of TY Manor must have fallen for Nyla. That was the

reason he was sending out this invitation.

After learning of this news, Nyla felt like she was on cloud nine. She was sure that the owner of TY

Manor was coming for her.

She even told everyone that she was the reason the owner of TY Manor was willing to sell off the office

building at half the price and lend them the TY Manor.

The people from the Patel family all believed Nyla, since among everyone from the Patel family, she

had the highest chance to get invited.

She took this opportunity to brag about this in front of Edith as well as belittle her. She had to vent her

anger on Edith.

“It’s too bad, if you’re not married to Casey that good-for-nothing, the owner of TY Manor would

probably invite you to have a meal together.”

“You are good-looking and capable yet you are going to waste all of this. You are stuck with Casey that

good-for-nothing for your whole life. Perhaps I should thank you for this too.”

When Edith recalled how Nyla had been spouting nonsense in front of her recently, a silent rage started

to rise in her heart.

She thought that being assigned by her grandfather to organize the antique exhibition meant that she

was being valued in the family, but now it looked more like she was working for Nyla.

“It is precisely because of you, you good-for-nothing, that my daughter’s future is ruined. If you’re not

here to mess up my daughter’s life, she would be the one who is invited by the owner of TY Manor!”

Amara said this while glaring at him on the sofa.

“If it is not because of you, such a good thing wouldn’t happen to Nyla in the first place. That girl is

always incompatible with Edith, and if she is married into the TY Manor, she will definitely not let us go.

I blame all of this on you, you unlucky bastard!”

Casey looked at Amara speechlessly as he replied, “How do you know that the owner is going to invite

Nyla? He didn’t even state who he is going to invite yet. Why can’t that person be Edith?”

“Why can’t it be Edith? Don’t you know the reason all along? It is because you are in her way, you

good-for-nothing, and you even dare to complain!” Amara couldn’t help but scold him.

Casey was slightly irked by her and he almost revealed that he was the owner of TY Manor. The

person he was going to invite was definitely Edith. He was never going to invite Nyla.

“Enough, you two should stop quarreling.” Edith came over while feeling irritated as she saw them

quarreling. Her mind was already preoccupied with something else at the moment.

“Daughter, why do you speak up for this good-for-nothing? If it was not because of him, you would have

the chance to marry into a wealthy family!” Amara was still adamant.

Edith didn’t want to continue this conversation with Amara, so she dragged Casey and returned to her

room.

Casey watched Edith closely while thinking that he must give Edith a surprise this time. On the day of

the antique exhibition, he would let Nyla know the feeling of suffering from utter humiliation!
