Chapter 416

With that, the two of them arrived in her bedroom.

Although Yvette looked very elegant, she was still a girl in her early twenties after all. The room was decorated in pink and it looked very girlish.

Nell just took a cursory glance and did not look at it anymore. Yvette brought a new skirt over and said, "Here you go. I just got it and haven't worn it yet."

Nell smiled faintly. "Okay, thank you."

"You can change here. I'll go out first."

"Alright."

When Yvette went out, Nell changed in the room. After that, when she went out, she did not see Yvette.

She could not help frowning slightly.

To her, the Griffin house was completely unfamiliar because there were too many rooms and the design was complicated. If she remembered correctly, the two of them had walked for a long time when they came over, so Yvette’s room should be far from the front hall.

Under such circumstances, without anyone to lead the way, it was not easy to find the front hall.

As she thought about this, Nell did not panic. After waiting for a while, upon seeing that Yvette still had not come back, she walked in the direction she had remembered.

At this moment, when passing by the corridor, she suddenly heard a quarrel between a man and a woman in the next room.

"William! Aren’t you being too much? Such a big amount of money and you can just say it went missing? How do you expect me to tell the Old Madam?"

"Scarlet, listen to me. The money isn’t gone. I used it to invest. You know that many foreign investments take time before the money can be recovered. Now, you’re demanding me for the money. Isn’t that like demanding for my life?”

"I don't care! I just said that I’d put the money with you temporarily. I didn't say that I wanted you to invest it. You did as you liked. If the accounts are checked, not only you but even I will be implicated. Get the money back immediately!"

"Scarlet, it's not that I don't want to get it back, but I really can't. Besides, aren't there still a few months left before the year-end account closing?

What's your urgency? I can withdraw my investments by then.”

"Talk is cheap. If this money has been invested, is it really that easy to withdraw it?”

"Then, what can I do? A billion isn’t a small sum. I don't have that much money.”

A billion?

Nell raised an eyebrow.

It seemed like this was a case of embezzlement of public funds.

She had heard the name Scarlet mentioned when they were chatting earlier. She seemed to be the descendant of the Griffin family and the daughter of the old lady, which meant that she was Liam’s aunt.

However, she did not know the man inside, but no matter who it was, he seemed to have something to do with the Griffin family. Otherwise, Scarlet would not have given him a billion dollars.

Nell thought for a while and felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she did not plan to listen anymore.

Just when she was about to leave, she then heard the person inside say, "If it’s not for Liam, how could I have been kicked out of the Griffin family by the old lady? Now, I have to be sneaky just to move a little bit of money.”

Liam?

She immediately took a few steps back.

"Yeah, that kid is a cruel lord. At that time, I begged the old lady for mercy and the old lady was already okay with it. It was him who insisted on kicking you out.

“My eldest brother has been dead for so many years and I thought that the Griffin family heirloom would be mine sooner or later, but now the old lady has found this b*stard. I have so much hatred as long as I think about him inheriting the Griffin family.”

"Heh! That kid inherits the Griffin family? I'm afraid you’re overthinking! Look at the group now, how many people will listen to him. Nobody is a fool and they have been working for you for so long. Who will obey him?"

"You can't say that. It’s not easy to deal with that kid. He hasn't been back for a long time now and he’s being chained in the country by that woman. If he comes back next time, he may do something.

“Take now for example, although I’m still in charge of finances on the surface, it’s no longer the same as before where I have the say. With the people that he has brought in, if I wanted to do anything in the books, don't even talk about moving money, if the difference is one or two dollars, he has the ability to find out. "

"Hmm, then this billion..."

"That's why I'm nervous! The one billion dollars is the old lady’s preparation to invest in the land on the outskirts of the city. I can help you drag it for a month or two, but I will definitely be found out after some time."

"Then, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? Get the money back for me!"

"But... I, I’ve already used all that money."

"What? William Cabot! You!"

"Scarlet, listen to me, I really didn't mean it. The last time I went to T City was originally just for fun. Who would have thought that they cheated in the game? I wanted to win the money back but...”

"William! Do you know that you’ll cause me great trouble?!”

"I know, I know. What about this, give me some more time. I’ll figure a way out and never let them find out about this."

“You..."

After listening to this exchange, Nell had a general understanding of the matter in her heart so she did not have the urge to continue listening.

Therefore, she left.

Not long after she left, the door of the room opened and William was driven out by Scarlet.

"William! I'll give you another week. If you don’t get the money back here in a week, you watch out!”

After speaking, she angrily threw a pillow out.

William caught the pillow and his face was blue and white. He turned his head and saw a figure passing by the corner of the wall.

Huh? Was that not...

His face turned pale instantly.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Nell returned to the front hall and saw everyone was still sitting there. Yvette was also sitting next to the old lady, happily eating chestnuts, and she smiled when she saw Nell walk over.

"Sister-in-law, where did you go just now? I just went out to answer the phone and when I came back, you were gone. Then I heard that they have chestnuts here so I came over. You won’t blame me for leaving you right?"

Nell felt a little cold in her heart but smiled lightly on her face. "It's okay."

She could see it now. It was not surprising that when she saw Yvette, her demeanor had made her feel uncomfortable.

It was obvious she did it on purpose.

Although Nell did not know why she was targeted, the facts were there so she could only be more careful.

"I have no idea which starving ghost reincarnated into this girl. She’s stuck here when she sees something she likes to eat. They say that daughters from prestigious families are proud but how many are like her? I guess it's her mouth that will defeat her.”
