Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 120

Nell clenched the glass within her grasp, pinching her fingers white.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, allowing a faint red to seep through.

Moments later, she sneered.

Sylvia frowned at such a sight.

“Nelly had too much to drink. Sally, help her upstairs for a rest.”

Sally forced a smile and got up. “Okay.”

She walked over and helped Nell. The latter did not decline the gesture.

For one, Nell refused to spend another minute with these people, and secondly, she was indeed feeling light-headed.

She could hold her liquor but red wine was the death of her. One sip and she was gone.

Her half-full glass of red wine had 52% alcohol content. Of course she was under the influence after gulping down the drink.

Under the support of Sally, Nell climbed to the second floor.

With Nell’s own bedroom no more, Sally put her down in a guest room and poured her a glass of water.

“Lie down and rest here for a while. Call us if you need anything.”

Without a word, Nell turned her back towards Sally.

Gazing at her frail back, Sally’s eyes turned cold.

Nevertheless, her voice remained calm.

“I’ll excuse myself then.”

Nell expressed acknowledgement.

Sally softly closed the door behind her and departed.

Nell’s head was spinning like crazy. The wine tonight was heavier than any she had ever had before.

It did not look like she would be able to make it back tonight. She should inform Gideon in case he got worried sick.

With that in mind, she fumbled for her phone and sent him a WeChat message.

She then felt at ease enough to close her eyes and doze off.

Downstairs in the dining hall.

Sitting on a chair, Dylan gave Sylvia a dirty look.

“Old Madam Jennings, shouldn’t you explain to me about tonight? Didn’t you say Nell had only been in a relationship once? How is she associated with Young Master Morton?”

If it were not for Nell’s stunning looks, he really did not want to have a hand in this due to the hanky-panky between her and Gideon.

Caught in a fix, Sylvia gave a forceful smile.

“It-It’s a long story but a misunderstanding no less. Nell did indeed fall for Jason but they were never together. It’s true. The girl went abroad five years ago. She probably has a crush on Jason but is stuck on the fact that he’s her brother-in-law and that nothing could possibly happen between them.”

Dylan smirked.

“Five years abroad and she’d only once been in a relationship? Old Madam Jennings, do you take me for a fool?”

Sylvia immediately answered, “I’m not lying. You can research that if you don’t believe me.”

At last, Dylan happily nodded.

“Fine, I‘ll trust you for now but there’s a change in terms.”

Sylvia was taken aback.

“What’s the change?”

“I can overlook the matter regarding her and Young Master Morton, as well as her relationship with Gideon Leith, but I want to inspect the goods tonight. If I find it to be true, I’ll send a car to pick her up tomorrow. If it’s untrue... Hmph! I have a strange quirk. I don’t like used goods if you know what I mean!”

Sylvia’s face saw red for a quick second.

Regardless of how much she despised Nell, that granddaughter of hers, she still felt it was insulting to the Eldest Miss standing of the Jennings family.

It was all Nell's fault! What a disappointment she was!

At first, Sylvia was under the impression that Nell shared a great relationship with Gideon and the Jennings could finally rise through the ranks if she supported her to get chummy with Gideon.
