Chapter 959

Nell looked at the ribs in her bowl and smiled.

"You’re not angry anymore?"

Lizzy blushed from embarrassment and Gideon glared at her.

"Who asked you to listen to others talking nonsense?"

Nell bumped his arm, signaling him not to scare the child, then took a bite of the ribs.

"Mmm, the ribs that our Lizzy took for me taste better than the others."

Lizzy heard this and smiled happily.

She then put a few more dishes in Nell’s bowl. Nell was so amused by Lizzy that she felt much better and even ate half a bowl more than usual.

After dinner, Nell called the grandparents and told them that Lizzy would not be coming over.

She did not say why for fear that if she said too much, the two elderly would be worried. She just said that Lizzy did not want to go and that it was fine for her to stay here. If she could not handle them, then she would hire two more nannies to take care of them.

When the Old Master and the Old Madam heard this, they did not insist further.

The next day early in the morning, Nell had just sent Lizzy out for piano lessons when she heard that Jean had come again.

Nell knew why she came and when she got to the living room, sure enough, Jean was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her with an expectant face.

"Nelly, you're back. Did Lizzy go to school?"

Nell walked over with a smile on her face.

"Yup. Aunty, why are you here again today?"

Jean looked at her with annoyance and snapped.

"Look at what you said. What kind of words are these? This is my nephew's home. Is it wrong for me to come?"

Nell's smile faded and said, "Of course not. Aunty, please have a seat."

Only then did Jean sit down.

After sitting down, Jean hesitated for a moment and said, "Umm... Nelly, yesterday was my fault. I was in a hurry and spoke out of turn. You won't blame me, right?"

Nell lifted her cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a soft voice, "Aunty’s an elder, so of course, I won't blame you."

Jean was relieved when she heard this.

"What about the money...”

"I've already spoken to Gideon and he's willing to lend it to you."

Nell said this and took out a check.

"This is the 100 million you asked for. I hope you can invest it smoothly this time and earn more."

Jean took it with a smile and nodded her head repeatedly.

"Okay, thanks for your blessing. When I make some money, I'll be sure to repay you."

She stood up and added. "Then if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm still busy."

Nell nodded and watched her leave.

After she left, Aunt Joyce came over, somewhat disgruntled.

"Madam, you’re too kind. Madam Leith provoked the relationship between you and the Young Lady yet you still gave her money."

Nell faintly said, "After all, she’s a member of the Leith family. She also helped to raise Gideon in the past. It’s 100 million, just let her be."

When Aunt Joyce heard this, she could not say anything else at the moment.

She just cleared the table and left.

At this moment, on the other side.

Jean finally got the money and happily left Fengqiao Villa.

As soon as she left, she received a phone call.

"Hello, Jean, where are you? Are you still going to today's stone-betting?"

Jean smiled and said, "Of course, I'll go. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

"Okay, then I'll send you the address."

"Alright."

She hung up, looked at the address on her phone, and drove to that location.

Half an hour later, she picked someone up from a trade center.

It was a young and handsome man who looked no more than 20 years old.

When he saw her, he smiled sweetly and said, "Jean, you've finally come. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jean took a look around to make sure no one she knew passed by before waving at him.

"Then, what are you waiting for? Get in the car now!"

After the man got into the car, he smiled at her coquettishly.

"Jean, I heard that everyone at the stone-betting today are very powerful people. Do you know who they are?"

Jean laughed contemptuously.

"Who else could it be if not those people? How much more powerful can they be?"

The young man liked her best when she looked like she had it all figured out and smiled.

"Then, let's go over there today and come back with a big win."

Jean paused and turned to look at him.

“I’ll tell you upfront now. We're just going over to look, I won't be gambling."

The young man was shocked.

"Huh? What do you want to do if you're not going to gamble at a stone-betting event?"

Jean shook her head and said, "That's what you don't understand. Ha! But it's okay, I don't want to tell you now. You'll know when the time comes."

The two of them drove to their destination.

Ever since the last time when Jean almost lost her fortune because of stone-betting, Old Madam Quinton had put out word that Jean was not allowed to enter all gambling venues.

Therefore, it had been a long time since Jean had been to such a place.

This time, she heard that the person behind the event was a Chinese who came back from overseas, so the person probably did not know the verdict.

That was why she got two tickets to attend.

Jean was also not stupid. She had been involved in stone-betting and had her fun, so she was not that interested anymore. She was more interested in where these stones came from.

Recently, she had her eye on a mine, but she was still on the lookout. She came over just to find out what it was like there.

The two of them entered the hall and the place was crowded with people.

Jean found her seat and said to the young man beside her.

"Ben, help me see where the stones are coming from."

Ben Hellen frowned and said, "How can I tell?"

Jean glared at him and said, "You can't see with your eyes, but you can listen with your ears, right? There are so many people and some are bound to know. Just watch out for it.”

It was only then that Ben gave a muffled "oh".

However, this was a stone-betting event after all and because the stones that day were said to be very good, the entry requirements were also raised accordingly.

It was not easy to get an admission ticket, so why would they sit around and waste it?

They sat in the rest area for a long time, but no one came over.

Ben looked at the betting area not far away and tugged on her sleeve.

Jean lifted her gaze and looked askance at Ben.

The corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling as she said, "Do you want to help me get some information or do you want to gamble?"

The little plan in his heart was dismantled and Ben pouted coquettishly.

"Jean, I didn't..."

Jean interrupted him and got up.

"Fine. Since you want to see it, I'll go over there with you, but it's agreed that you're only allowed to buy one piece today. I'm tight on cash lately, so I don't have much money for you to squander."

Ben's face immediately revealed a bright smile and he got up to take her hand.

"I know. Thanks, Jean."
