Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 242

Sylvia sat there with her face clouded in gloominess. Her heart had been recovered from the shock that came with the news.

Concerned, Sally glanced around the room and wanted to say something but despite the urge, she could not muster up the courage to speak.

Due to her household status stemming from improper grounds, Sally had no say in the Jennings’ household even if Sylvia accepted her, much less having a voice in a critical time like this.

Hence, she stared imploringly at Shaun, in hopes he would stand up and plead to say a few words on behalf of Celine.

However, Shaun had always feared Sylvia. Not to mention, Celine had the nerve to kidnap someone. This was against the law.

Fortunately, with Celine married out of the family, they were able to clear themselves from many of the matters. Who knew what mess the Jennings would end up with if they were to get themselves involved?

With that, he threw a reproaching glance at Celine.

Caught off guard by his attitude, Celine felt a lump in her throat. The pent-up fury within her threatened to burst out.

It was awhile before Sylvia opened her mouth.

“Apart from the driver, is there any other clue linking to you?”

Celine shook her head.

“No, I’m certain. I’ve secretly taken care of the remaining four in the basement.

“In fact, I gave a large sum to the driver after it was done so that he’ll flee to a faraway place. I even personally took care of the vehicle. I didn’t think that his car plate number was snapped.”

Sylvia nodded.

“It’s great that there’s no other evidence. At the end of the day, only the driver is uncovered. There’s no proof pointing directly at you.

“I’ll get your father to withdraw money for you later. Don’t get yourself involved and just let Skylar handle it from here. She’ll know what to do.”

Celine nodded in acknowledgment.

Sylvia’s words put Sally at ease.

Turning toward Celine, Sally asked with worry, “What about the voice recording shared online as well as the video of Kylie’s testimony? I’m sure it has a huge effect on your career. Have you thought about what to do with them?”

Celine was boiling at that mention.

To think that she had it in the bag for Kylie to frame Nell, look at what happened now.

It was like a huge slap in the face.

Clenching her teeth, she cried out furiously, “How dare that little b*tch betray me! I won’t let this slide!”

Shaun coldly scoffed. “How do you intend to get back at her? For her to testify for Nell, surely Nell will offer her protection.

“Nell isn’t the one to be afraid of. It’s Gideon who is behind her you should worry about. Do you want the Jennings to go up against Gideon?”

Celine choked at Shaun’s words. For a moment, she was at a loss.

Despite how influential Nell was in Jincheng, she could not fare with the Jennings.

However, this was the capital’s most powerful in question.

Even the Mortons and Hancocks, let alone them, had to think twice before going head to head with the Leiths.

With Celine going mute, Sylvia impatiently waved her arm.

“Alright now. As a father, you sure are given to sarcasm.”

She then turned to Celine.

“You should head back now. I’ll get your father to transfer the money to you. Remember to come clean with Young Master Morton. You two should have a talk if there’s anything, don’t bottle it up.”

Celine bobbed her head.

After she was gone, Sally let out a sigh of relief and got up to the kitchen to make preparations for dinner.

To her surprise, Sally had just straightened her back when she was called by Sylvia.

Sally’s eyes were without the earlier softness and benevolence. Sylvia coldly uttered, “Come with me. I have something to tell you.”
