Chapter 416 Heard A Secret
As she spoke, the two of them arrived at Yasmin's bedroom.
Although Yasmin looked very handsome, she was still just a little girl in her early twenties. The room was painted pink, which made it look very girly.
Clarissa simply took a glance at it and didn't look at it anymore. Yasmin took a new dress out and said, "Wear this. I just bought it and haven't worn it yet."
Clarissa smiled faintly. "Okay, thank you."
"You can get changed here. I'll go out first."
"All right."
After Yasmin went out, Clarissa changed her clothes in the room. After changing, when she went out again, she did not see Yasmin.
She could not help but frown.
For her, the Ethanbez Family was a completely unfamiliar environment, because there were many rooms in the villa and the layout was complicated too. Moreover, if she remembered correctly, the two of them had walked for a long time to get to Yasmin's room, which meant that Yasmin's room should be very far away from the front hall.
Under these circumstances, if there was no one who was familiar with the house leading the way, it would be difficult for Clarissa to find her way back to the front hall.
Thinking of this, Clarissa was not in a hurry to explore a way out by herself. After waiting for a while at the same spot, seeing that Yasmin hadn't come back yet, she stepped towards the direction that she thought that it would bring her back to the front hall.
However, at this moment.
As she was walking through the corridor, she suddenly heard a quarrel between a man and a woman coming from the room next to her.
"Issac! Aren't you going too far by doing this? It's a large sum of money. It's gone just like that. How am I supposed to explain this to Old Madam Ethanbez?"
"Lia, listen to my explanation. The money is not gone. I invested it instead. You know the fact that you won't be able to get it back in a short period of time if you made foreign investment. Aren't you trying to get me killed to ask me for the money now?"
"I don't care! I asked you to keep the money temporarily for me. I didn't ask you to invest it. You did this on your own initiative. If the accounts are being audited, not to mention you, even I will be implicated. You must immediately get that money back!"
"Lia, it's not that I don't want to get it back, but I really can't do that. Besides, there are still a few months before the annual audit. Why are you in such a hurry? I can withdraw the investment when the time comes."
"It's easy to say. I can't withdraw it at my will once the money is out."
"What can I do? One billion dollars is not a small amount. I don't have so much money in my hand now."
One billion?
Clarissa raised her eyebrows.
It seemed that this was a case of misappropriation of funds.
She had heard the name "Lia" from their conversation earlier. Lia seemed to be the heiress of the Ethanbez Family. In other words, Elicia's daughter. She was probably Jameson's aunt.
She didn't know the man inside, but no matter who he was, he seemed to have a close relationship with the Ethanbez Family. Otherwise, Lia wouldn't have put 1 billion in his hands.
Clarissa thought about it and felt that it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone say, "It's all that brat Jameson's fault. If it wasn't for him, I won't be kicked out of the Ethanbez Group by Elicia! I can't even appropriate some of the money unless I do it secretly."
Jameson?
She took a step forward, but suddenly, she changed her mind.
"Yes, that guy is cruel and merciless. At that time, I even pleaded with Elicia for you. Elicia almost gave in, but it was him who insisted on kicking you out.
My eldest brother has been dead for so many years. I thought there was no other beneficiary to the estate anymore and that the estate would sooner or later be mine. But now, I have no idea where Elicia has found this b*stard. The thought of him inheriting the Ethanbez Group angered me"
"Heh! He's going to be the heir of the Ethanbez Group? I'm afraid you're thinking too much! How many people would listen to him in the Group? Everyone's not a fool. They have been with you for so long. No one would obey him."
"You can't say that. Jameson is not easy to be dealt with. He hasn't been back here for a long time, as he has been held up in Ascijan by that woman. If he comes back in the future, who knows what he will do?
Take the present situation as an example. Although I am still in charge of finance on the surface, I no longer have final say in everything as before. Now, because of those people hired by him, not to mention misappropriation of funds, even if there is a dollar missing, he has the ability to find out."
"In this way, the one billion dollars..."
"That's why I'm so anxious! The one billion dollars are raised by Elicia for the company to invest in the land in the suburbs of the city. I can help you delay it for another one or two months. Otherwise, someone will soon find out about this."
"What should I do?"
"What else can you do? Get the money back!"
"But... I... I lost the money a long time ago."
"What? Issac! You!"
"Lia, listen to me. I really didn't mean it. The last time I went to Lasso to have some fun. I didn't expect that they would set me up so I was deceived by them. I was blind at that time and was very determined to win those money back, so..."
"Issac! You will get me killed! You know!"
"I know, I know. How about this, give me some more time. I will definitely come up with a way to make sure that they will never find out this matter."
"You... "
Hearing this, Clarissa had a general understanding of what was going on, so she didn't need to continue listening to it anymore.
Therefore, she left quietly.
Not long after she left, the door of the room opened and Issac was kicked out from it by Lia.
"Issac! I'll give you another week. If you don't give me the money within a week, you'll be on your own!"
After that, she threw out a bolster angrily.
Issac caught the bolster with a pale face. Turning his head, he saw a figure flashing past the corner.
"Huh? Isn't that..." Issac thought to himself.
His face instantly turned pale.
Clarissa returned to the front hall and saw that everyone was still sitting there. Yasmin was also sitting next to Elicia, happily eating hazelnuts. When she saw Clarissa coming over, she even had a smiling expression on her face.
"Clarissa, where did you go just now? I just went out to answer a phone call. When I came back, I didn't see you. Later, I heard that they had hazelnuts here so I ran over. You won't blame me, will you?"
Clarissa's heart was a little cold, but she smiled faintly. "It's okay."
Now she could finally see through her. Clarissa finally knew why she felt uncomfortable with the way Yasmin was talking and acting.
It seemed that she was doing it on purpose.
Although Clarissa didn't know why she was against her, she could be on her guard since that was already the case.
"This lass. She is probably a hungry ghost in her previous life. She couldn't move her feet as soon as she saw her favorite food. She obviously did not look like someone who is from a rich and affluent family. Her voracious appetite could be a curse for her."
