My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 242

Nora's face fell. "Melanie, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kick me out of the Lauriers?"

"Oh, come now. You tried to make decisions for my future daughter-in-law. Can't I help Dad chase away the unnecessary people in the house?" Melanie replied calmly.

"I..." Nora's face turned bright red with anger, but she couldn't find the words to respond.

She turned to Marvin for help.

After a moment of hesitation, Marvin said, "But we can't just give the Redushil to Lily for free. She used our money and spent 500 billion dollars today. If she wants it, fine. But she needs to pay us back the money."

"How do you know she spent our money?" Melanie glanced at him lightly. "Should we check the bank accounts?"

Marvin shot up from his seat, his expression turning dark. "Forget it. Just give the Redushil to Lily. I have no objections."

Hearing this, the others quickly echoed, "We have no objections either."

Melanie had to be joking. None of the Lauriers' accounts were clean. They had been involved in many dirty dealings for years.

If they were to be investigated, none of them would escape unscathed. Their current assets could be confiscated, and they might even lose their shares. No one dared take that risk.

"Marvin, you..." Nora couldn't believe how quickly Marvin had changed his stance. She was so angry she couldn't speak.
