Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 416 Hearing Secrets

With that, the two of them went to the bedroom where she lived.

Although Kenya looked very cool, she was just a young girl in her early twenties after all. Her room was

decorated in pink and looked very romantic.

Natalia took a cursory glance at it and didn't look any further. Kenya brought over a new dress and

said, "You can change into this one. I just bought it and haven't worn it yet."

Natalia smiled gently, "Okay, thanks."

"Then you can change here. I'll go out first."

"Okay."

Kenya went out, so Natalia changed the clothes in her room. When she was done changing and went

back out, she didn't see Kenya.

She couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Stevenson family was a completely unfamiliar place for her, as the rooms were too many and

complex in design. Besides, if she remembered correctly, the two of them had walked for a long time

when they came over, which meant that Kenya's room should be far away from the living room.

In such a situation, she could easily not find her way to the living room if she did not have someone she

knew to lead the way.

With this in mind, Natalia did not rush around. She waited for a while and then, when she saw that she

had not returned, she walked in the direction she remembered.

However, it was at that moment.

As she passed through the corridor, she suddenly heard the sound of a man and a woman arguing

from the room next to her.

"Allen! Aren't you going too far with this? Such a large sum of money is gone just like that. How do you

want me to explain this to Mrs. Stevenson?"

"Alma, listen to me. It's not that the money is gone. I've taken it to make investments. As you know,

many investments abroad cannot be recovered within a short period of time once the money is put in.

Don't you want me to die if you ask me for money now?"

"I don't care! I just said to put that money with you for now. I didn't say you could have it invested. You

took it upon yourself. If they do look into the accounts, not to mention you, even I will be implicated.

You must get that money back right now!"

"Alma, it's not that I don't want it back, but I really can't get it back. Besides, don't we have a few

months before they check the accounts at the end of the year? Why are you in such a hurry? I'll just

pull back my investment when the time comes."

"That's easy for you to say. Can you withdraw the money you've invested just because you want to?"

"Then what can I do? 200 million isn't a small amount. I can't get that much money right now."

200 million?

Natalia raised an eyebrow.

It seemed to be a case of misappropriation of public funds.

She had heard the name Alma mentioned when they were chatting earlier, and she seemed to be Mrs.

Stevenson’s daughter. In terms of seniority, she would have been Charlie's aunt.

She didn't know the men inside. But whoever it was, it sounded like he had a lot of connections with the

Stevenson family. Otherwise, Alma would not have given him the 200 million.

Natalia thought about it, decided it was none of her business, and wasn't going to listen any further.

She was about to leave when she heard the man inside say, "If it wasn't for Charlie, I wouldn't have

been kicked out of the Stevenson Group by Mrs. Stevenson, and now I have to sneak around just to

move some money."

At once, she stopped in his tracks.

"Yeah, that kid is ruthless. I pleaded with my mother for you at the time and she agreed. But he was the

one who had to kick you out. After all these years of my brother's death, I thought the Stevenson family

would be mine sooner or later without an heir. But now my mother has found this bastard out of

nowhere. Just the thought of him inheriting the Stevenson Group makes me angry."

"Humph! That kid inherits the Stevenson Group? You're thinking too much. Look at the consortium now,

how many of them will listen to him? Everyone is not a fool. They've been following you for so long.

Who would obey him?"

"You can't say that. That kid is not easy to deal with. He's only been back for a short time and is stuck

in the country by that woman. If he comes back later, there's no telling what he might do. I'm still in

charge of the finances, but it's not all up to me like it used to be. Now with the people he has put in

place, if I wanted to do anything to the books, let alone move money, even if a dollar or two was

missing, he would be able to find out."

"In that case, that's 200 million ..."

"That's why I'm anxious! The 200 million was allocated at my mother's command in preparation for

investing in that land on the outskirts. I can help you delay it for a month or two, but it will definitely be

found out after a long time."

"What should I do then?"

"What else can you do? Get the money back!"

"But ... I, I lost that money a long time ago."

"What? Allen! You!"

"Alma, listen to me. I really didn't mean to do it. The last time I went to T City, I was just having fun.

Who would have thought that they would actually set up a trap and I accidentally fell for it! I got

muddled up and thought I must get my money back, so ..."

"Allen! Do you know you're going to get me killed!"

"I know, I know. Here's the deal, you give me some more time, I'll figure out a way to never let them find

this out."

"You ..."

Having heard this, Natalia had a general idea of what was going on and had no more desire to listen.

Therefore, she left quietly.

Just shortly after she left, the door to the room opened and Allen was kicked out from inside by Alma.

"Allen! I'll give you another week. If you don't get the money back within a week, you'll be on your own

from now on!"

After saying that, she also angrily threw a pillow out.

Allen caught the pillow and his face turned livid. He turned his head but saw a person disappear from

the corner.

Huh? Wasn't that ...

His face went pale instantly.

Natalia returned to the living room and saw that everyone was still sitting there and Kenya was sitting

next to Mrs. Stevenson and happily eating nuts. When she saw her coming, she even smiled.

"Natalia, where did you run off to just now? I just went out to answer a phone call, and when I came

back, I didn't see you there. Then I heard they had nuts over here, so I came over. You won’t blame

me, will you?"

Natalia's heart chilled, but she still smiled gently, "It's okay."

She now sort of understood why she felt that whatever she was doing and saying made her so

uncomfortable when she had met Kenya before.

It turned out that she was doing it on purpose.

Natalia didn't know why she was targeting her, but the truth was this and she could only pay a little

more attention.

"I don't know why you're such a glutton! They say that daughters from big families are nobler. How

many of them are like you?"
