Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 244

Celine’s pupils dilated from the shock.

“So, you’re saying...”

Skylar scoffed.

“The one thing the public despises the most is the collusion of money and power. So, what if Nell has Gideon at her back? The more Gideon is on her side, the more everybody will think that the wealthy and the influential could very well do as they please.

“People will start to hate her. Do you think that the Leiths are really at the top in the capital without an enemy in sight? Ha! Some forces have been converting that spot at the top.

“With Leith Corporation in the face of criticism, I’m sure the Leiths wouldn’t turn a blind eye. Caught in that crossfire, let’s see if Gideon has his family’s interest or a woman in mind.”

Celine was in shock.

It took a moment before she snapped out of the trance. Her face spelled of delight.

“I get it now! Sister Skylar, so our number one priority is to find Nell?”

“Yes. We must prove that she has never gone missing. This way, everyone will believe that it’s a web of lies she had created!”

Celine nodded.

“Alright, I know what to do. Let me find a way to trace her.”

...

On the other end, Celine was figuring out ways to get her hands on Nell.

On this side, Nell received word on the latest.

After all, she had her suspicion that Celine would be on her tail since the driver, Fernandez, was exposed.

Leith Garden was no place to stay put. Although Celine would not have the guts to barge in, her location here was too apparent. Someone might notice her.

Nell fell deep into ponder, thinking of areas that made a good hiding place when Old Madam Quinton’s call came in.

“What are you doing, Nelly? How are you feeling?”

Old Madam Quinton dialed Gideon’s number and had Nell come to the phone.

Afraid that the old lady and child might be worried, Gideon had told them the matter in advance.

Nell answered, “I’m okay and at home. How about you? Have you been doing well?”

“Everything’s good. Lizzy misses you though. She has been asking for you. Why don’t I bring her over to stay for a day or two when you’re free?”

“This...”

Nell was in a fix.

These were troubled times. As she was in progress pushing Celine’s family to admit the crime they had committed against her mother, it was not the time for her to make an appearance.

Nevertheless, this was Lizzy...

Observing her dilemma, Old Madam Quinton immediately replied, “I just bought an island in the south. The scenery will blow your mind. I even got someone to open a hotel there. The chef used to overlook state banquets and has quite the culinary skills. Why don’t we take a holiday on the island when you have the time?”

Nell would have learned nothing in her years of living if she still did not grasp the meaning behind it.

She responded, “Okay, I’m good with that. You can fix the time.”

“If that’s the case, let’s do it tomorrow. I’ll get Gideon to send you over.”

“Alright.”

After setting the date, the old madam hung up the call.

On the side, Gideon looked at her with expectant eyes. When the call ended, he asked, “Did you say yes?”

Nell nodded. “Yes, the old madam said we’ll go tomorrow.”

“Oh.”

The glint in the man’s eyes did not reveal his thoughts.

Curious, Nell enquired, “The old madam said she bought an island in the south? The island must cost a lot, right? Is the old madam planning to advance into tourism?”

Gideon waved his arm without care.
