Chapter 294 Deal With It As Soon As Possible
She didn't mean to discriminate against Chantel, but it was obvious that she had been fooled. Even she could see that something was wrong, but Chantel actually really believed that Jacab would help her.
She even took the money to let Jacab choose a few rough stones for her.
She was really... stupid!
She thought like this in heart and didn't say it, but she knew that Anderson might have the same thought as her.
Anderson looked a bit angry at this time, but he had had a general idea after listening to the whole story.
So he asked in a deep voice, "How much money did you give him?"
Chantel glanced at him with a guilty conscience and said hesitantly, "About... seven hundred million dollars or eight hundred million dollars!"
Clarissa was speechless.
Well, Chantel was rich but silly indeed!
Anderson was quite helpless.
He thought for a while and then asked, "So, the reason why you came to Starbay Villa to find fault with Clarissa was that you wanted to take back those antiques and sell them? Then you could give all the money to Jacab?"
Chantel looked a little embarrassed.
"I... just wanted to borrow them temporarily. When I made money, I would return them back to you.
Anderson sneered.
Obviously, both Anderson and Clarissa did not believe her words.
Chantel begged again, "Anderson, look, I have told you the truth, so can you just hide it from your grandparents for me? I really don't want them to know it."
Anderson said in a deep voice, "So have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Chantel was a little stunned.
She didn't understand what he meant by that.
Clarissa reminded her kindly, "Jacab is obviously fooling you and trying to defraud you of money. Don't tell me that you haven't discovered it yet!"
Chantel suddenly became even more confused.
"It is... impossible! I wanted to gamble on my own. I am afraid that he would cheat me, so every time I chose the rough stones myself and never let him interfere. There are so many rough stones in the hall. How could he know which one I was going to choose?"
Clarissa smiled.
Anderson said solemnly, "It's very simple. He can replace all the stones in it with inferior or ordinary stones. In this way, you and others all have no way to buy good stones."
Chantel's expression changed.
But soon, she argued anxiously, "That's impossible! I saw someone discovering the best quality green jade in the stone which was right next to the rough stone I bought!"
The best quality green jade?
It was indeed good jade!
Clarissa laughed and said, "It's not difficult. He could put a stone that had been confirmed to contain good jade in advance and then ask his friend to pretend to be a guest to buy it and cut it on the spot. After that, the money and the jade still belonged to him. It is an easy thing."
Chantel couldn't believe what she had heard.
"This is... impossible! How could this be?"
"Nothing is impossible."
Anderson directly ruined her last hope, "This is just the easiest trick in the market. It is so clumsy that even Anne will not be fooled. I didn't expect you to believe it and spend so much money there. It seems that you can't blame him for being too cruel, and you can only blame yourself for being so stupid."
Chantel suddenly screamed.
"Anderson, how can you say this to me? I'm your aunt!"
"I kindly remind you that you must deal with this matter as soon as possible just because you're my aunt! Otherwise, something bad will happen later. Of course, if you have to deal with it, you will surely alarm grandpa and grandma. In Flaucford, even I can't hide something from them if it is a big thing."
Hearing this, Chantel immediately became dejected.
She was silent for a while, and then asked extremely reluctantly, "Do you have to tell them?"
Anderson nodded.
"Yes."
"But..." She hesitated, and then scratched her hair irritably.
"If I go back like this, I will lose all my face. Your grandparents will definitely scold me harshly. How can I move out again?"
Clarissa smiled.
"Aunt, although I don't know why you quarreled with grandma, you are family. How could grandma really blame you? Last time at home, grandma treated you quite well. It seems that she is no longer angry with you. Could it be that you have thought too much?"
Chantel glanced at her impatiently.
"You do not understand."
Anderson's face darkened.
"Whether to confess to grandma or not, decide it yourself. I will not hinder you or force you, but I will only give you two days. After two days, if you want to confess it, I will take you to see grandma. If not, bear the consequences on your own. The Jordan Family and I will not help you."
After he finished speaking, he held Clarissa's hand and stood up.
Clarissa couldn't bear to treat Chantel like this, but she couldn't say anything else since Anderson had said so, so she left with Anderson.
On the way home, she asked Anderson with worriedly.
"If she really decides not to say it, you really won't help her?"
Anderson replied expressionlessly, "Yeah."
"Why?"
"Although she is my aunt, she is also an adult, so she should be responsible for what she has done. I can help her, but she is unwilling to let the Jordan Family intervene in it, so she must be responsible for her own choice."
Clarissa sighed.
"I always feel that there should be other reasons for her persistence. Although she just said that it was because she had quarrelled with grandma, I don't think so."
Anderson glanced at her.
Then he reached out and rubbed the place between her eyebrows.
Clarissa was taken aback.
When she turned her head, she saw Anderson's gentle eyes. He looked as if he had been touched.
"My aunt has always been unkind to you. Why do you care about her so much? You're frowning so hard."
Clarissa burst into laughter.
She held Anderson's hand and smiled, "What are you talking about? Although she is unfriendly to me, that's her own business. I can't force everyone to like me. The reason why I care about her is that she is your aunt. When I get old, I wish I can look back on things with a clear conscience."
Anderson was blown away.
A clear conscience!
It was easy to say these words, but it was hard to do like that.
Anderson did not speak any more and held her hand more tightly. The car continued to head for Starbay Villa.
Two days later, Chantel called Anderson and said that she was willing to talk to Matteo.
Anderson knew that the reason she was willing to apologize was probably that she had been driven to a corner.
Although Chantel was the daughter of the Jordan Family, she was a woman and had been learning art, so she didn't have the most important power in the Jordan Group.
She was not very reliable, and her reputation was not very good. Therefore, everyone might respect her in common trivial matters. But once it was about some big things, they wouldn't show her respect even though she was noble.
