Chapter 965

Nell pursed her lips and said in a soft voice, "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing."

Jean was elated and asked in succession, "What is it?"

"Don't ever say those words to Lizzy again. Aunty, you know that I’ve always treated Lizzy as my daughter. I don't want anyone to stir up our relationship, especially our relatives."

Jean’s face changed from panic to frustration, and finally to deep shame.

She hung her head slightly and spoke in a somewhat guilty tone.

"I...I didn't do it on purpose. I was just too angry and was momentarily blinded..."

"I don't care what the reason was."

Nell's voice was cold with unprecedented austerity.

"In short, I don't want such things to happen again in the future."

"Okay, I promise. I'll never speak nonsense again."

Jean quickly promised.

Only then did Nell nod and get up.

"Don't worry. When you speak to Gideon, I’ll help you."

After she said that, she turned around and went out.

Jean watched Nell’s back as she left, and only then did she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

After Nell left the restaurant, she received a call from Lizzy.

It was Sunday, and Lizzy was calling from the home phone.

As soon as it was connected, the sweet little girl’s voice said, "Mommy, are you off from work yet?”

Nell sat in the car and could not help but laugh.

"Yeah, I just got off work and ate already. Have you eaten yet?"

“I also ate, but I missed Mommy, so I called."

"Is that so."

Nell thought about it and asked her, "Today’s Lizzy's birthday. Wait for Mommy to come back from work later, then I’ll pick you up and we can go to Great-grandma's place to celebrate, okay?"

Lizzy cheered excitedly, "Yes! I want to eat mousse cake! And I want to wear the prettiest outfit!"

"Okay, ask Aunt Joyce to find you a pretty little dress, wear it, and wait for Mommy to come back to pick you up."

"Okay, Mommy. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye!"

"Bye Mommy."

She hung up the phone and sat in the car. Her lips curled up in a smile.

Then, she got out of the car and walked inside her office.

Nell worked until 5:30 pm before getting off work.

Gideon also left work early. Everyone knew that it was the little princess’s birthday, so they left work early to pick her up and celebrate at home.

Originally, Nell and her family had the habit of going to the Leith Residence for dinner on weekends. After all, they don't usually have to come over, so every weekend, they had to accompany the two elderly.

That day, it happened to be Lizzy’s birthday, so they just happened to celebrate it together.

When Nell got home, she picked up the two kids and went to the Leith Residence.

On the way there, Nell and Gideon talked about Jean's matter.

After listening to this, Gideon's first reaction was indeed rejection.

Over the years, Jean had done a lot of business in all kinds of industries, but none of them had succeeded and all of them had failed miserably.

Gideon, Old Master Leith, as well as Old Madam Quinton had all decided that she was not suited to do business.

Even though Jean looked fierce and aggressive, she was quite the opposite when it came to business. She always had big ideas but only had a simple mind. Whenever someone threw her a bait, she would simply get hooked.

No one knew how much money she had been cheated out of over the years.

It was a small thing to be conned, but more importantly, it was embarrassing.

After all, when Old Master Leith was young, he was a genius. Old Madam Quinton was also a capable woman. There was no need to explain about Gideon. Even Gideon’s parents who died young were also well-known scholars.

When it came to Jean, however, she was a failure at everything. There was nothing but extravagance, and nothing else.

Therefore, Gideon would never agree to invest 1.5 billion with her.

Nell, however, had a different idea from him.

She said in a soft voice, "Aunty’s 40 years old this year, and she’s not as impulsive and capricious as when she was young. She’s much more considerate and careful than before. I always feel that we can't just look at the final result and the benefits we get, but also the psychological needs of the other party."

Gideon turned to look at her and asked, "Psychological needs?"

Nell smiled slightly and said, "Yes. Have you ever wondered why Aunty has failed after investing in so many businesses, yet this time she still wants to invest such a large sum of money? She’s already living an excellent life. Even if she did nothing, just the Leith’s annual dividends alone would be enough for her to live a carefree life. Why do you think she’s so adamant to do business by herself?"

Gideon frowned and said, "Why?"

"Because of the sense of achievement."

Nell looked at him squarely and said, "In the Leith family, everyone’s naturally talented, incredibly smart, and successful in everything they do. She’s the only one who seems to have accomplished nothing, always pulling everyone back. She’s a human being. All human beings have self-esteem. No one wants to rely on others forever. She also wants to be able to make some achievements, even a career of her own.

“This is a good thing. It's just that in the past she has always used the wrong method, but this time, as far as I know, it should still be more reliable.

We might as well support it, just in case it works. That's one of her wishes, isn't it?"

Her words made Gideon think deeply.

It took a while before he said reluctantly, "Since you've said so, let her try again."

Nell smiled slightly and said, "We don't need to lend her all the money. Let’s not mention the Leith family as one. Just borrowing such a large sum of money might put a lot of pressure on her. She just started such a big business, so I'm afraid that she won’t be able to handle it and mess up."

Gideon raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what do you mean...”

“After all, it’s a jade mine. If it's real, then no matter how much you invest, it's profitable. Why don't we treat this money as an investment, and we'll be partners for once."

Gideon laughed at the words.

"You think of every way for her. If Aunty knew, she would be touched."

Nell also pursed her lips and smiled.

"I don't want her to be touched. I just want her to go along with what she wants and live her life in peace. Hopefully, she won’t do anything foolish in the future."

Gideon nodded and said, "In that case, then we’ll go with what you said. We’ll invest."

After the two of them discussed it, they ended the topic.

Soon, the car arrived at the Leith Residence.

Jean arrived before them, and when she saw them come in, she got up in a hurry and smiled more warmly and attentively than ever before.

"Gideon, Nelly, Lizzy, Viemond, you’re all here! Come and sit down."

She said and came over to pick up Little Viemond in her arms.

"Look at this stinky little boy. How did you become so heavy? Grandaunty can barely hold you now."

Little Viemond giggled and said, "Grandaunty! I'm not a stinky little boy, I'm a sweet little boy!"
