Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 226

“That’s enough. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’ve been taking everything from Nell ever since she was young.

“Now, you are jealous because she is living a better life than you and you think that you can take advantage of me? Celine, have you lost your mind from all the movie shootings? What do you think the Mortons are? An ATM that you can use for your show?”

Celine did not expect Jason to say something this harsh. So she sat there in disbelief while her hands that held her phone shook from all the frustration.

“JASON MORTON! Where is your conscience?! Why are you talking back to me? Did I not contribute to this relationship with you all these years? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have put myself through all that grievance just for that!

“How could you do this to me now? You said you would love me for life, that you would treat me well. In fact, you were the one who tricked me into jumping in this hole!

“Jason Morton! I believe I’ve never done anything wrong to shame you, but what about you? I’m fine with your hot and cold attitude at times, but all I’m asking from you is just a present and this is your attitude? Do you regret this marriage or should I say you never wanted to marry me from the start?”

Celine shouted her lungs out through the phone and it made Jason frown.

“I didn’t say I don’t want to marry you from the start.”

“Then what did you mean just now?”

“I…”

His father’s reminder rang in his ears. In the end, he controlled the rage he felt at the bottom of his heart.

Anxious, he said, “I’m just trying to say that it is important to make the public believe that we are in love; it is not necessary to compare yourself with others.

“A good relationship should never be shackled by all those things, it’s about the understanding between you and me. What do you think?”

Celine clenched her fists tightly as her body stiffened.

A moment later, she said with a cold look, “What if I insist?”

Jason also reacted coldly to her answer.

“Celine, can you be more understanding?”

“Why should I? Must I, Celine Jennings, live under the shadow of Nell Jennings? Must I forever lower myself in front of her? I don’t want to!

“You are my husband and your wife, me, is being bullied outside. Should you not stand up and protect me? Or are you scared of Gideon’s power and status? If not, why are you so scared of stepping on Nell’s tail then?

“If you want to be a coward, just say so! Don’t worry, if I can’t rely on you, I won’t force you to help me either. There are a ton of men in this world that I can rely on!”

“CELINE!”

A shout came from the other side of the phone.

Celine slowly reacted to the shout and realized that she had said something wrong.

Shocked, she quickly explained, “Brother Jay…”

“Hmph!” Jason grunted coldly.

“What? You’ve finally revealed your true intentions? Okay, if you think I’m no better than other men, you can leave. I really don’t mind at all.”

“I didn’t mean it that way…”

“I don’t care what you mean! Bear in mind that the title of Mrs. Morton is just a deal between us Mortons and Jennings. After the deal is over, we will go our separate ways. Don’t ever come to me with your problems again, goodbye!”

Bam! With a slam, the call ended.

Celine was shaken.
