Chapter 405
“Give me the phone.”
Aiden looked at her mother and held out his hand.
Scarlett’s face turned pale. She shook her head and pleaded to Anthony on the phone,
“Anthony, that’s what your mother said. I took the money for you. Go and get it back for me…”
From the moment she knew that Anthony didn’t know about this, Scarlett felt something was wrong.
If there was such a good thing, would Quincey’s superior personality be able to imagine her?
She was confused. How could she give the money to Quincey?
Seeing her words getting more and more outrageous, Aiden took the phone directly.
“Don’t worry about me here. Tony, if Mrs. Quincey Hoffman is short of money, I’m afraid my mother will not be the only one to find her. You should get ready!”
They hung up the phone.
Scarlett sat on the sofa with weak legs and a pale face.
She thought, “There are 1 million dollars in the 3 million dollars and 1 million dollars embezzled from my company!”
If it was gone, how could she make up for the company’s shortcomings?
Scarlett grabbed Aiden’s arm.
“What’s going on? Why did Quincey raise money illegally? Is she short of money?
Aiden frowned and said in a deep voice,
“Mom, you don’t even need to negotiate with me for 30 million dollars. You should be prepared for the worst!”
“But Quincey said that even if he paid for it, Anthony would take care of it. How could Anthony leave his own mother alone?”
Scarlett’s voice trembled, full of fear.
She didn’t dare to think that the Campbell Group in her hand would really become an empty shell if 3 million dollars were
lost.
If the Simpson family proposed to get married and asked for betrothal gifts, what would they do if they couldn’t take out a penny?
Aiden frowned slightly.
“You’d better not go to Anthony and ask for the money, don’t you know? “Anthony has fallen out with his mother. His mother uses the money of the Hoffman family to support Louis. The matter is almost but of control, but you can’t tell others!”
Scarlett’s last string was completely broken.
Her face turned gray instantly, as if she was deeply shocked.
Austin, I’m sorry…
Aiden pursed his lips and left without knowing what to say.
Anthony hung up the phone and let Matthew in.
“What is Mrs. Lawrence doing recently?”
Matthew paused and said,
Mrs. Lawrence came to the group and its subsidiaries several times, but you told her in advance not to spend a penny, so no one gave her money.
“Mrs. Lawrence should have sold almost all the jewelry and luxury brands…”
Anthony looked gloomy and indifferent,
Is that not enough for her? “You’ve sold so many things. Why are you still short of money?”
Matthew’s expression was a little weird and embarrassed,
That Louis Edmund took his mother to Emerald Villa. She is also a spendthrift who likes to take Mrs. Lawrence to the mall.
“In order to please the old man, Mrs. Lawrence must be generous. She even bought a lot of things for her relatives and sent several cars out…
Anthony’s face became colder and uglier.
He couldn’t help but sneer, and the coldness in his eyes could not go away.
“Are you going to help the poor?”
Matthew didn’t dare to say anything-
Anthony’s face darkened.
“No wonder she couldn’t make ends meet and started to cheat money from her former friends”
Matthew thought for a while and said, “Should I tell everyone not to lend money to Mrs. Lawrence? Otherwise, it will be your fault.”
Anthony looked cold and indifferent.
“No need. Let her borrow it and let her know how stupid her choice is!”
He couldn’t make a statement to cut ties with her, which would only give the outside world more evidence and spread more gossip.
Even worse for the Hoffman Group.
So he had to wait for the right time.
Matthew nodded.
‘Did Lauraine come to her?”
Matthew nodded, “Yes, Ms. Hoffman has always lived in Emerald Villa and seldom went out. But she went to a noodle restaurant at the airport twice for noodles.

“By the way, she still doesn’t know that Mrs. Lawrence is pregnant.”
Anthony pursed his lips and said,
“Got it. Next time she goes out, tell me in advance.”
“Yes, sir.”
Emerald Villa.
Lauraine went downstairs and saw several people making noise in the living room.
Grandma Margaret, who was wearing designer clothes, smiled like a shriveled yellow flower.
There was also a middle–aged woman who looked slightly older than Quincey.
Middle–aged women are Edmund’s pro Quincey, Miranda.
He was broad and fat, with a round face. He looked very smart.
The two men wore four gold bracelets, which Quincey had bought.
Quincey’s face was slightly pale. She sat in the living room with one hand covering her belly and the other holding a bowl of pudding, smiling at them.
Grandma Margaret came out of the kitchen without wearing an apron, Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Oh, it’s the first time I have seen such a big fish gelatin. I will give you good nourishment tonight!”
Miranda finished the pudding in her hand, wiped her mouth, and looked at Quincey.
“Sister–in–law, do you want to drink yours? Don’t waste it. Give it to me.”
Quincey smiled and handed it to him.
“Then drink it.”
“Mrs. Fallon, you rich people just know how to enjoy yourself. You don’t drink a bowl of such expensive pudding because it smells fishy when it is cold.
I can’t taste any fishy smell at all, and I think it is no different from fans!”
As she said that, she drank all of it. It was not a waste at all.
Quincey bit her lips and held back what she wanted to say.
Miranda’s mother smiled like a flower and glanced at Quincey.
“Katrina is so lucky. She married a rich man named Louis and died. Then she met me, Austin, who treats you well. Now I’m here to take care of you. Who in the world can catch up with you?”
Miranda couldn’t help but nod and agree,
“That’s right. Louis, your dead sister–in–law, treated you badly. Don’t worry. We will treat you well. After you give birth to the baby, I will help you confine yourself. Unfortunately, I live too far away. It would be better if I could live closer.”
“I planned to buy a house nearby, but I was short of money for the down payment…
09:27 Sat, 4 May G
Miranda looked at Quincey.
Quincey pursed her lips to hide her displeasure. These days, she had bought several cars just like a bottomless pit.
Now you’re buying a house again?
No matter how stupid she was, she could not help but notice their shrewdness,
She wanted to turn against him, but thought of Edmund and the baby in her belly, she held it back.
“How much more?”
“It’s only 1.5 million dollars!”
Quincey’s eyelids twitched. “How much did you get for the down payment?”
Miranda’s smart eyes flashed and she said with a smile,
I’ve got 3,000 dollars. If you have money, give it to me. When I get the money, I will pay it back to you. We are a family. How can I lie to you?”
