Mingyu lowered his voice. "It seemed like Lisa expected you to do so. To think that she would arrange for Butler Bai Mingde to watch you secretly. Considering Bai Mingde's loyalty, he will definitely report your actions truthfully. Thank god you reacted fast and didn't keep the red packets in your own pocket. Otherwise, we would be doomed."
Nancy was still worried. "Even if we managed to escape from being caught red-handed, it's too much of a stretch to claim that we were trying to hand Lisa our red packets."
"Those Jeon family's elders, who refuse to die, have always disliked us." Mingyu frowned. "We can't let the Butler Bai tell them about this. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble."
"En." A hint of ruthlessness flashed past Nancy's face. She smirked mockingly. "Lisa believes that a simple scheme like this would render me helpless. Isn't it just a butler? It's more than easy to seal his lips."
Mingyu had a lot of faith in his sister. "I knew you would have a way to deal with this."
"Leave it to me." The glint in Nancy's eyes was meaningful.
All of a sudden, her phone pinged.
She checked to see that the Brushweiler Group's old director, Jingyuan Brushweiler, had sent her a message: [Nancy, are you living well in the Jeon family? Do you need any help financially?]
Mingyu read the message and immediately said, "Quickly tell that old man that you're extremely poor. Ask him to transfer some money to you."
"I just praised you for a moment and you've lost your composure already." Nancy rolled her eyes and spoke heavily. "Brushweiler Nancy is especially intelligent. It's been days since our relationship was acknowledged, but aside from sending me some clothes and jewelry, he hasn't sent me a single cent. He is either wary of me or testing me. If I reveal my greed right now, he will only grow more suspicious of me."
Hence, she wrote a mature reply to him: [Thank you for your concern, Grandfather. I'm living... very well. I'm not lacking in any way financially.]
As expected, through her message, Nancy quickly noticed her hesitation and sensed that she was facing trouble.
He immediately replied: [Grandfather transferred a sum of money into your account. If you suffer any grievances in the Bai family, remember to tell me. Do you understand?]
[Thank you, Grandfather. You are my only proper family in this world.] Nancy accompanied this message with a sticker of a moved expression.
Ding! With this noise, she received a notification from the bank that the Brushweiler Group's finance department had transferred two million dollars into her account.
Mingyu had been staring at her phone. He immediately opened his eyes in astonishment. "That old man sure is generous. He gave you two million dollars so easily."
"Of course." A hint of greed flashed past Nancy's gaze. "The entire Brushweiler Group belongs to me!"
"We didn't manage to get the money from Lisa earlier. Split the old man Brushweiler's money with me!" Mingyu demanded.
"Brother, I need this money for something." Nancy glared at him. "If you need money, why don't you look for your Lisa? The three Bai elderly gave her eighteen million dollars as a greeting gift. Even half of that is much more than mine. All right, I need to tackle Butler Bai's problem. I'm leaving first."
She then turned to walk away.
Mingyu deliberated over this and felt that his sister made sense.
In the past, whenever he asked anything of Lisa, that foolish woman always gave into him.
Although she had changed a little, it shouldn't be much to borrow some money from her, was it?
...
Butler Bai Mingde had seen the show of 'exchanging' or 'gifting' red packets earlier. He immediately headed for the old mansion and was about to turn around a corner.
