Nell smiled and said, "Aunty, 100 million isn’t a small amount. Gideon will definitely know as soon as I transfer this money, then he’ll ask questions. What should I say then?"
Jean Leith thought about it too.
She hesitated and said, "Why don't you just tell him that you spent it on something? Gideon spoils you so much, so he can’t be bothered by a mere 100 million."
Nell did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Spent it on something… That's only if you can see something."
Jean waved her hand and said, "Ah, that's simple! Just take a few kinds of jewelry to fool him. Anyway, a big man like him won't look very carefully, so just tell him that you spent this money on jewelry. Then he won't say anything.".
At this point, Jean winked and said mysteriously, "By then, I'll return the 100 million to you in private and the money will be yours. Aren’t you a silly one?”
Nell was stunned.
She saw Jean’s mischievous face and suddenly felt a little sad.
How did the youngest daughter of the Leith family end up like this?
How could she even think of such an idea as pocketing the money?
Nell shook her head and said, "Aunty, I'm sorry. I can't lie to Gideon and I have no intention to keep the 100 million for myself. If you really want the money, I must discuss it with Gideon first. If you don't want him to find out..."
She paused, took out a bank card from the bag beside her, and handed it to Jean.
"Here’s my own savings. It’s not much, only a little more than 20 million. Gideon doesn’t even know about this account, so if you don't mind, take it and use it."
Jean's expression sank as she saw this.
She swiftly stood up, looked at Nell with annoyance, and yelled, "Nell Jennings! What do you take me for? Do you think you can just send me off like a beggar? 20 million? You've got it all figured out! Do you really think you're a big deal now that you're the manager and the matriarch of the Leith family? Don't forget, I'm your aunt!"
Nell had long been accustomed to her ruthless temper. She saw that Jean did not accept her offer, so she put the card away and said indifferently, "Aunty, since you don’t like it, then forget it. I've said all I can, so you can think about it yourself."
After she said that, she ignored Jean and turned to go upstairs.
When Jean saw this, she was furious.
She pointed at Nell’s back and yelled at her.
“Nell Jennings! What do you mean? Don't think that if you marry into the Leith family, all of their things will be yours? Let me tell you, your last name is Jennings, not Leith. I’m a Leith. You...”
Jean made a move to run upstairs but was stopped by two servants.
Aunt Joyce bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "Madam, the Young Madam’s pregnant. She’s tired, so she needs to rest. Please keep your voice down.”
When Jean heard this, she gave her a fierce stare.
"Why should I keep my voice down? So what if she’s pregnant? She's a treasure when she's pregnant? It's not even her first time, so why the act?!”
Even after she said that, in the end, it was still Gideon's child. If anything happens to the baby, the consequences would be serious, so she left in a huff.
When she left, she saw the maid picking up Lizzy.
It was a Friday. The school where Lizzy attended only had half a day of classes, so she could come back after lunch.
Therefore, the driver went to pick her up earlier and they just happened to bump into each other at this time.
When Lizzy saw Jean, her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Grandaunty!"
Naturally, Jean also saw her and suddenly, a trace of malice flashed in her eyes.
She walked over with a smile and said, "Lizzy, you’re back so early today?"
Lizzy nodded happily and replied, "Well, it's Friday and school is only half-day today."
Jean touched her little head and said, "That's great! Then you can pack up your things later and move in with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Lizzy was stunned. A touch of confusion flashed in her watery eyes.
