Chapter 408 

Lauraine’s face turned pale. 

She suddenly remembered that she had heard from Grandpa Frank before. It seemed that the trust fund could not be used until they got married. 

Her mind was 

< in turmoil. 

Grandma Margaret was right. No one dared to touch Anthony and take away the money he didn’t want to pay. 

But she was different. She had always been an invisible person to be bullied. 

If Quincey finds out about the money, he’ll definitely put his mind on her. 

She gritted her teeth and looked at Grandma Margaret firmly. 

“Grandma Margaret, I won’t let outsiders take away the things of the Hoffman family.” 

She returned to the Hoffman family and had everything, knowing how hard it was. 

How could she give half of it to Louis who had nothing to do with her? 

Even if it came from the same mother’s womb, it was not her family. 

The Quincey family was inclined to theirs now, and they would definitely raise the Louis family with the blood of the Hoffman family in the future. 

She couldn’t let them get away with it! 

Grandma Margaret pursed her lips and touched her hair with love and guilt in her eyes, 

“Lauraine, don’t do anything stupid. Don’t hurt them all!” 

Grandma and Margaret had their own reasons for letting her come back. 

But seeing that she had become better, Grandma Margaret still felt sorry for her. 

After all, she was his own granddaughter. He would hurt her if he took advantage of her. 

“Forget it. You don’t have to worry about this matter, and I will handle it!” 

Grandma Margaret sighed and made up her mind. 

Lauraine shook her head stubbornly. 

“Grandma Margaret, don’t worry. I won’t risk my life. I’m not that stupid.” 

“I don’t believe that Louis is sincere to my mother. I want my mother to see their true colors, and I don’t believe my mother will want to give birth to the baby!” 

Grandma Margaret frowned, “Lauraine, 

“Grandma Margaret, don’t worry about it.” 

Lauraine took a deep breath. She couldn’t stand with Quincey anymore. 

Chapter 408 

Her biological mother was also unreliable. She could only rely on herself to safeguard her interests. 

“I just want to say one thing. Lauraine, don’t do anything wrong. If you can’t solve it, leave it to us. You are the little princess of the Hoffman family. Don’t get yourself involved.” 

Lauraine smiled and nodded. 

Listen, she was the little princess of the Hoffman family. She didn’t need to be diligent to get married. 

That vampire family should have gotten out of the Emerald Villal 

Emerald Villa. 

Quincey got a tenth call: 

“What’s the matter? The money has just arrived. How can it generate income so quickly? Haven’t you invested before? 

What, I’m a liar? Why would I lie to you? 

Who said that? Scarlett? That b*tch must be crazy! 

Of course. Can I lie to you? We have been friends for so many years. Don’t worry!” 

She hung up the phone. 

Quincey’s face was livid. 

Scarlett called again. 

She picked it up angrily, and Scarlett cursed on the phone. 

“Quincey, you old liar. Give me back my money. I’ve asked Anthony about it. Austin doesn’t know that at all. Do you want to run away with the money?” 

Quincey was used to being flattered. Scarlett’s attitude made her dissatisfied instantly. 

“Have you taken mad drugs? Do you know who you’re talking to? 

“I’m telling you, if you dare to talk nonsense with others again, be careful that you really can’t get the money back!” 

“Mrs. Quincey Hoffman, please give me back my money. I really don’t have any money left!” 

Scarlett’s voice choked. 

Quincey couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, 

The money has been included in the project. How can it be taken out so easily? Let’s wait until it is due!” 

Scarlett’s hysterical tone became sharp again, 

“Are you still lying to me? You took the money and went to support Louis. Austin didn’t even give you living expenses. You are so poor now. I will never let you go!” 

Mrs. Quincey hung up the phone directly and deleted all her contacts. 

“He’s a psycho“” 

Miranda looked at her with envy and said, 

2/4 

Quincey smiled and glanced at her. 

Austin has a lot of money, which is just a drop in the bucket for him. 

“When the time comes, they will naturally ask me for it when they are anxious. I won’t let them go just to save the face of the Hofliman family 

Miranda couldn’t help but give a thumbs–up sign.. 

“I don’t know when we can meet my nephew.” 

She seemed to regard Anthony as an appendage of Quincey. 

If Quincey could become a member of the Hargraves family, it should not be difficult for Anthony to change his surname. 

Hearing this. Quincey’s face changed and she coughed a few times. 

“Well, he is very busy and has no time.” 

Miranda’s eyes darkened and she was a little disappointed. 

Then let’s wait until he is not busy.” 

Edmund came back from outside. Miranda greeted him with a smile and said, 

“Did you lose or win?” 

Edmund looked pretty and said with a smile, 

“Of course, you won. You’re lucky today!” 

Hearing this, Quincey’s expression changed. 

“Didn’t I tell you not to gamble again? Where did you get the money? 

Edmund walked over, put his arms around her and kissed her hard. Then he touched her belly and said, 

“Don’t be mad at me, Austin. This is not a gamble. It’s just for fun. Look! I brought you this gift!” 

He took out a moonstone bracelet from his pocket. 

Quincey took it over and looked at it. She frowned, 

“How much does it cost? It’s not good–looking 

Compared with the moonstone bracelet in Mrs. Hoffman’s hand, it didn’t look like much! 

Edmund frowned and said, “That’s impossible. This bracelet is worth more than 15 thousand dollars. I just want to thank you for buying gold bracelets for my mother and sister. It’s a good emerald in the old pit. Can I wear it for you?” 

Quincey’s heart softened, and she put it on her hand guiltily. 

Thank you. I like it very much.” 

Although it was not expensive for her, it was already a sky–high price for Edmund. 

Chapter 408 

Edmund smiled with satisfaction, 

Tm glad you liked them,” he replicil. 

Quincey’s eyes flashed. “So where on earth did you get the money?” 

Edmund coughed and said. “There is a bank card under your pillow. I’ll take it for emergency response.” 

“You used my money to buy me a gift?” 

Quincey was about to lose her temper when Miranda’s mother came out and said, 

“Louis gave me a gift as a token of his kindness. I’m glad that he has this kindness.” 

When did he ever buy such an expensive thing for me? 

What a silly child who has married and forgotten his mother!” 

Seeing this, Quincey suppressed her anger. 

That bracelet looks so ugly. 

Forget it. It’s 100,000 dollars. You can refund it at the counter tomorrow! 

Miranda’s mother took out a bowl of pudding from the kitchen and handed it to Edmund. 

“Here you are. There’s the last bowl of pudding left. Drink it up.” 

Quincey frowned. 

“When Lauraine wanted to drink it just now, she said there was no more.” 

“It’s just been cooked. That girl ran too fast 

Miranda’s mother rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.
