Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 286

Nell paused and rasped, “I have been polite because you’re Deon’s aunt and you took care of him since he was little.

“However, I’m more of an oddball and I don’t like people meddling in my personal affairs. I’m afraid I’d have to decline if you insist.

“Also, Fengqiao Villa is my home. Please inform me in advance before you come.

“As for those antique vases, I didn’t know they were a gift from you but don’t worry, I merely instructed to have them put away. I can give the vases back to you if you need them. I can guarantee it won’t be a vase less.”

She then notified the people to have the stored vases taken out.

Furious, Jean turned blue in the face.

“Nell Jennings! Don’t play dumb with me! Was I talking about the vases? What I’m saying is that you don’t deserve Gideon!

“You’re just an ignorantly naive woman. Who do you think you are? Sure, Gideon spoils you now, but do you think he’ll dote on you forever?”

“Let me tell you, there’s only one missus in the Leith family and that is...”

“Jean Leith!”

A chilling cry was suddenly heard from the door.

Then came Gideon who was taking large strides in with a long face.

Jean bit her tongue at the sight of Gideon. Doing a 180-degree turn in attitude, her glowering face immediately gave all smiles as she welcomed him in.

“Oh, Gideon, you’re home?”

Gideon frowned deeply.

“What are you doing here?”

Jean bitterly smiled at his unkind face.

“Nothing. I just happened to pass by here today so I came to take a look.”

After a pause, she continued, “Gideon, I wasn’t pleased to see her taking down all those antique vases that I gifted, hence the tone. I don’t have any ill intention but your wife talked as though I want the vases back. It’s really...”

She may not have finished her sentence but the hint behind her words was conveyed.

Basically, Jean thought that Nell was petty and could not be spoken against.

As an elder, Jean had to watch her tongue with her.

Gideon took a glance at her.

“I ordered the vases to be stored.”

Jean was dumbstruck.

Nell opened her mouth, wanting to say something but shut her trap in the end.

Jean regained her composure and smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, I see. I guess it’s a misunderstanding. Hehe... I thought it was Nell who kept them away! You, youngsters, must not like antiques and the sort. If you don’t like them, I can send over other things the next time.”

Gideon bluntly interrupted, “That won’t be necessary.”

He took Nell by the hand.

“Is there anything else? You should get back soon if there isn’t. Nelly and I are tired, so we will hit the sack soon.”

The smile on Jean’s face stiffened once again.

Moments later, she nodded.

“Oh, nothing. I shouldn’t bother your rest if that’s the case. I’ll be leaving now, goodbye.”

She departed crestfallen.
