Chapter 428

Nell was slightly startled.

Janet then said, “Nelly, you’re going to be a mother, don’t try to be brave with everything, Liam is backed by the Griffin family anyways, so he’s considered one of the leaders there.”

“Even if there isn't any advantage for him, he’ll still help you because of me, so don’t avoid asking him for help just because you had problems with him in the past.”

Nell felt a warm feeling in her heart as she was listening to Janet’s words of concern.

Nell tightened her grip slightly on her phone and nodded heavily.

“Yeah, I know, don’t worry.”

Janet was finally relieved.

After hanging up her call, Nell remembered that Gideon said that he wanted to eat a restaurant’s Chinese food.

Being in the hospital for the past few days, they were already bored of the food there. Nell thought for a while and, seeing that it was still early, she then prepared to go out to buy some.

Originally, Matthew wanted to let her rest and go out himself, but after considering that he was already very busy as he still had to deal with a lot of things, she did not want to trouble him with such a small matter.

Besides, the place was not far away, it was only going to take around a 10 minute journey.

Thus, Matthew did not insist on going.

Fortunately, they had already notified Nancy, so she would be coming over sometime in the afternoon. She would then be able to take care of Nell personally, and there won’t be any worries left.

Nell left the hospital and waved to call a cab.

She then gave the driver the address once she was in the cab.

However, after being in the cab for a few minutes, she felt that something was wrong.

Nell was startled as a pungent smell struck her. Before she could even react, she started losing her consciousness.

It did not take long for her to become completely unconscious.

On the other end.

The Griffin Corporation headquarters.

Liam arrived in the morning.

Instead of going back to the Griffin household, he went to the company directly.

At the moment, in the conference room.

It was already noon, the senior executives from various departments of the consortium had yet to leave work. It was rare for the board of directors to be gathered, even the Old Madam who was rarely seen was there. She sat in the chairman’s seat with a cold expression.

In the middle of the table, there was a phone with its speaker on. A man’s angry voice was clearly heard from the phone.

“Even if I’m that silly, or that stupid, I won’t be so silly that I’d take a billion and fall into someone’s trap! Who do you think I, Charles Griffin, am? Crap?

A squanderer?

“That f*cking money was lost by William, so go and ask him about it!

“If he doesn’t spit that money out, then send him to jail! Oh yeah, he’s even taking care of three little lovers out there, you can’t find the money right?

“Then go to those little lovers, he gives them at least tens of millions each year, even if there’s not enough from one of them, then three should be able to make it up!”

Charles’ raging voice made all the senior directors look at each other expressionlessly, while Scarlet, who was sitting in the bottom left corner, already had a pale expression for a long time.

Charles was a collateral member of the Griffin family, because of his parents’ early deaths, he was raised by the Old Madam, so he was considered as a direct member of the Griffin Family.

However, his usual style of work was not very good, he was good-for-nothing and unreliable. Therefore, Scarlet wanted to make him take the blame for the one billion deficit.

Unexpectedly, Liam had already predicted her plan, and confronted Gerard.

Scarlet’s expression worsened as she thought of this.

“Heh!” Liam let out a cold laugh. Apart from Charles’ voice, only his voice could be heard in the entire office.

There was a pin drop silence in the office.

“So, it was really my uncle who took the money?

“Sh*tty uncle! What uncle would cause such trouble for his nephew? Does he think that he could do anything just because I’m one of the Griffins?

“That f*cking money belongs to us, not him! He used it to gamble and womanise, then leave all the blame to me when he’s done! Does he think that he’s the king of heaven?”

Liam curled his lip coldly and did not answer.

“Bro, it’s my fault, I used to be impulsive, but I know that you’ve forgiven me, if not you wouldn't give me such a good position in the country.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll surely do my best. Once I achieve some good results, it’ll surely impress you.”

Liam nodded, that look, that expression, really resembled a loving brother.

“Alright, that’s all for now. I’ll hang up now, I still have things to deal with here.”

“Yeah, just believe in me bro. Continue with what you’re doing, bye.”

Liam hung up the call.

He turned his head and looked at Scarlet coldly.

The Old Madam’s expression became completely cold. “Scarlet, what’s going on?” She said in a commanding tone.

Scarlet’s face became extremely pale, and with a trembled voice, she said, “I, I don’t know.”

Whatever the case is, William was her husband, it was impossible for her to not know what happened.

It is just that in the presence of so many people on the board of directors, she must not admit it.

Otherwise, the Old Madam would not be able to help her even if she wanted to.

However --

“How would you not know what your husband did?”

The Old Madam raged all of a sudden and slammed her palm onto the table. She was so angry that it was as if all the muscles in her face were shaking.

Liam raised his eyebrows slightly.

The directors on the conference table all stepped forward to soothe the situation. But within their words, there were some gloating elements.

The Griffin family has been prosperous for all these years, yet this type of thing happened. An uncle trying to frame his nephew, and the clan was fighting, how could they not be happy?

Make a fuss! The worse the fight, the better. It’ll be the best if they can argue till the Griffin family breaks up, only then would they have a chance to take over.

“Do you think that I wouldn’t know all those things that your husband, William, did behind my back? Just because he's Yvie’s father, in consideration of what he has done for us, and your pride, I’ve always tolerated and ignored his actions. But look at what has happened now!

“One billion! If he wants to take it, then fine! Even if we don’t look into it, you should have never accused Charles for it.

“Charles is a member of the Griffin family, and he’ll be Liam’s right-hand-man in the future! Do you know how much this would affect him? How’ll he be able to take charge of the company in the future? How’ll he convince everyone?”

Scarlet’s face was getting even paler. As a matter a fact, she had never thought that much before.

Since she was young, she had not had a father; it was her brother and mother that had always raised her. Therefore, she had always done whatever she wanted.

She married William just because she liked him. Even if her mother disagreed, she still left it up to her.

Initially, when William asked Scarlet to take the blame, she also disagreed, but later gave in to his pleading.

She thought that although Charles was one of the Griffins, he was not that close to her.

After all, he was still one of the Griffins who was raised by the Old Madam and he might also have shares from the corporation. What was the problem if he used some of the family’s money?

Even if something were to happen, at most, the Old Madam would just criticise him little. However, she did not expect all this to happen.
