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.
