Chapter 293 Make Mistakes Step By Step
As she said, the expression in her eyes changed with a guilty conscience.
Anderson didn't bother to argue with her. Anyway, the truth had been found out, and he had caught her here.
Chantel was his elder, and he didn't want speak too harshly in front of everyone.
Therefore, he said, "I will let grandpa handle this matter. Behave yourself!"
After speaking, he held Clarissa's hand and turned around to leave.
When Chantel heard that he was going to tell old master Jordan, she panicked.
She ran forward in a hurry to stop them.
"Wait a minute. Don't go!"
After running out of the door, she finally stopped them. Anderson frowned, and did not say anything, waiting for her to speak.
Chantel panted, and it took her several seconds to get her breath.
She said hurriedly, "You can't tell your grandparents about it. Anderson, I beg you. You must hide this matter for me. I will be punished severely if your grandparents know it."
Anderson said in a deep voice, "Before you gambled, you should have thought that they would know it sooner or later."
Chantel was so anxious that she almost cried.
"No, as long as you, Clarissa, Nora and I don't tell them, how could they know about it?"
Anderson sneered.
"Oh? Really? You even sold the jewellery that grandma gave you. Are you sure that they will be cheated by you forever?"
Chantel's face turned completely pale after hearing this.
After several seconds, she said.
"Have you... known that?"
Anderson put on a cold face and didn't answer her.
Clarissa explained, "Anderson and I went to an auction yesterday and accidentally saw that set of jewelry, but you can rest assured that he has bought it, so grandpa and grandma won't know about it for the time-being."
"But what on earth has happened? Why are you under heavy debt? I think you'd better tell Anderson clearly. Otherwise, even if we want, we can't help you when grandpa and grandma know about it."
Chantel was slightly relieved and nodded.
"Yes, I should tell you indeed. Except for you, I don't know whom I should ask for help."
People came and went at the entrance of the casino, and it was not a suitable place to talk.
Finally, Chantel said that there was a high-end cafe nearby, so they went there.
It was something about the Jordan Family, and it was not good for Nora to listen to it, so she chose a seat for coffee on the first floor.
Anderson, Clarissa and Chantel went to a box on the second floor.
After sitting down, Clarissa ordered coffee for all three of them and then got down to the business.
"Aunt, we can help you, but please don't hide anything. You must tell us the truth, so that we can consider how to help you."
At this time, Chantel no longer treated Clarissa as arrogantly as she used to do.
She knew that she needed Clarissa's help, so she swallowed her pride, sighed, and said, "This is a long story, and it began a year ago."
A year ago, Chantel had a quarrel with Matteo. She did not want to say the specific reason for the quarrel, and Clarissa and Anderson did not ask much about it.
At that time, Anderson had gone to Visstead, so Chantel moved back to the villa and accompanied her parents.
Unexpectedly, not long after she moved back, she moved away again because of a quarrel.
Only a few people knew about this matter, not even Anderson.
After Chantel moved out of the villa, Matteo was so angry that she froze all her cards.
In short, Matteo wanted to let her come back to admit her mistakes in this way, but Chantel was proud, and she refused to apologize.
In addition, she thought of some ways to make money and wanted prove to Matteo that even if she left the Jordan Family, she could live a good life and support herself.
At first, she speculated on the stock market. She was the daughter of the Jordan Family, so many people flattered her and introduced many good stocks to her. Chantel made a lot of money.
Later, she started to learn to do business from others.
But she used to learn art. Although her family's business was at the top of the tree, she didn't know how to do business at all.
She invested in a lot, but lost all her money.
For fear of being ridiculed by others, Chantel became more determined to make money on her own.
So, she met Jacab White by chance.
Jacab was the man they saw in the stone gambling casino.
He was a very successful businessman from M Country. When they first met, he had pursued Chantel, but Chantel did not agree.
Just because of this, Chantel felt that since he was pursuing her, he would definitely not cheat her.
At the beginning, Jacab did choose a few good rough stones for her and made her earn a sum of money.
Later, Chantel didn't meet the status quo. Jacab saw through her thoughts and suggested that she bet more at once.
That time, Chantel bought the half of all the rough stones, but she did not expect that there were just few good jade stones.
She was dealt a great blow.
But sometimes people were just like this. The more frustrated they were, the more they didn't want to give up.
Being instigated by Jacab, Chantel spent more money and bought a dozen stones every time.
Unexpectedly, the more she bought, the more she lost. She had spent a few hundred million dollars, but she didn't even get a piece of good-quality jade. She got nothing back from her investment.
She couldn't accept the truth, and she didn't understand why she could only buy good rough stones at the beginning.
Chantel had suspected that Jacab was cheating her, but she chose the rough stones herself every time. Even if he wanted to cheat her,she couldn't do that.
She didn't understand. Besides, she had invested in lots of money. If she gave up, she would have no way to explain it when she went back.
Although a year had passed, she and Matteo were still angry with each other.
Chantel wanted to gamble again, and decided to give up if she lost. But to her surprise, she actually chose a good stone.
As a result, she had money again and gambled several times.
Just like this, she finally lost all her money. She even borrowed money from her friends and pawned all the valuable things at home to gamble in the casino.
That day, Chantel realized that someone in the Jordan Family had discovered her strangeness, so she wanted Jacab to give her some good stones so that she could get back some money, redeem the valuable things and fool those people first.
She didn't expect to meet Anderson.
After listening to her words, both Anderson and Clarissa were speechless.
Clarissa didn't quite understand. Everyone in the Jordan family looked so cunning and smart, but why was Chantel so simple and impulsive?
