Chapter 252: Tina, Hand Over the Imperial Green to the Reed Family Lily Ward's eyes flashed with a dark glint. Damn Tina! Always poking at her sore spots. If she had known Tina could get the Imperial Green for three billion, she would never have gone through with it! Annabelle listened to Tina's words and glanced at Lily Ward. She raised an eyebrow, "Oh? So it seems that Tina getting the Imperial Green has something to do with you, Lily." Lily Ward's smile was stiff. "Annabelle, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare take credit. Miss Reed just returned to Ashbury, so naturally, I want to help where I can." Annabelle gave her a meaningful look but said nothing more.
Tina followed Annabelle inside and then turned to Nathan Lehman, "Move the items into my room." "Yes," Nathan Lehman immediately instructed people to move the large raw stone into Tina's room.

Wasn't it bought with the Reed family's money?" She didn't say much, but Liliosa understood. Her face darkened as she looked at Tina and angrily said, "Tina! You are so out of line! The items bought with the Reed family's money should belong to the Reed family. How can you take such a valuable Imperial Green for yourself?" Tina sat on a chair beside Annabelle, raising her eyebrows slowly and calmly. "What? Are you trying to take it from me?" "What are you saying?" Liliosa frowned. "As your elder, why would I take anything from you? Shouldn't you hand it over voluntarily?" Before Tina could respond, Liliosa continued, "The Reed family's money doesn't grow on trees. This tyou were lucky to get the Imperial Green for three billion. If you weren't lucky and didn't get it, wouldn't it be a loss? So you must hand it over." Tina laughed brightly and beautifully, like a flower in full bloom with thorns. She didn't speak but turned to Jared Farrell with a charming voice, "Can you check if there's 'big fool' written on my forehead?" Jared Farrell's lips twitched as he coughed lightly. "My Tina is very beautiful; there's nothing written on her face." Tina tilted her head slightly, resting her chin on one hand while staring at Liliosa with clear eyes. "Then it's strange! Why do speople think I'm a fool and easy to bully?" "Bang!" Liliosa slammed the table angrily. "Tina, what kind of attitude is this? I'm your elder! Not only are you disrespectful, but you're also mocking me?" She then turned to Jasper and coldly said, "Jasper, is this your good daughter? Look at her behavior!" Jasper frowned deeply with an unpleasant expression. "It's not your place to comment on my daughter's behavior or educate her!" "I'm not educating her; I'm asking her to hand over what belongs to the Reed family. She's just a country girl who got such a valuable Imperial Green-can she even keep it safe? Besides, this was bought with Reed family money; am I wrong?" Liliosa said angrily.
"Enough!" Annabelle said sternly. "The money was given byto Tina; she can spend it as she likes. I haven't said anything about it; who are you to have an opinion?" "Mom!" Liliosa shouted angrily. "You're spoiling her too much! That Imperial Green is worth at least ten billion dollars. If all that money goes to her and gets wasted, what then? You have other grandchildren too-Juliet and Audrey-why haven't they received such amounts?" Liliosa pointed at Audrey Woodwind. "You gave Tina a bracelet in the morning and three billion dollars in the afternoon. Look at Audrey; she only got a five-million-dollar item in comparison. This is unfair." Audrey Woodwind silently lowered her head upon hearing this.
She felt sjealousy but understood that as an external granddaughter, she couldn't compare to a direct one. Moreover, she didn't want to compete with Tina.
At least since Tina returned home, they had gotten along well enough-not like Amber before who was so detestable.

Annabelle was furious and slammed the table again. "What nonsense are you talking about? Have I ever shortchanged those two over the years? Whenever there was something good, didn't I always prioritize them first?" "Tina wandered outside for nineteen years and suffered greatly. We owe her; giving her three billion dollars is my compensation for her suffering. Audrey and Juliet have no complaints-why do you have so many opinions as their aunt?" Liliosa retorted stubbornly, "Am I doing this for myself? Isn't it for the Reed family? Without the Reed family's three billion dollars, how could she get an Imperial Green worth billions? Asking her to hand it over-is that wrong?" "Who told you that Tina used Reed family money?" Jared Farrell calmly sipped his tea and looked sharply at Liliosa.
Liliosa was momentarily stunned by his gaze and took two steps back involuntarily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter regaining her composure, she frowned and asked, "It wasn't Reed family money?" "The raw stone was bought with Mr. Farrell's money," Damian said unhappily toward Liliosa's aggressive behavior. Tina had just returned home; humiliating her was one thing.
Now that she had finally obtained an Imperial Green stone after much effort, Liliosa wanted her to hand it over. Regardless of whether it was luck or not-since Tina got it-it belonged to her.
Reed family members often participated in auctions; whatever they won always belonged solely to them without any obligation of handing it over.
His aunt transferring hatred for his uncle onto Tina was truly inappropriate.
