Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 291

Yet, no matter how unreliable Jean was, she would not put herself in such a sticky situation.

This jewelry set was given to her by the old madam to serve as dowry. However, since Jean had not set her heart on tying the knot, the old madam just gave it to her.

Thus, that was the meaning behind this jewelry.

Owen looked at him and moved his lips, wanting to say something.

In the end, he held his tongue.

After all, Jean was an aunt of Gideon. Because Gideon’s parents passed an untimely death, Jean had been hands-on with him since he was a child. Even if Jean may have met with some trouble, it was improper to be blunt.

Nell understood Owen from his perspective.

The only difference was, she was reminded by Jean’s sudden visit to Fengqiao Villa a few days ago where she mentioned some of the antiques.

“Gideon, do you remember that four days ago, Aunt came to the villa and threw a tantrum, where she said that I shouldn’t have taken away her antiques?”

Gideon nodded. “I do, what’s wrong?”

“I have a weird feeling about it. Aunt never used to care about those kinds of things. Why did she come over to ask about the antiques? Can it be that she wants the antiques back but can’t bring herself to ask me so she made a huge deal out of it to provoke me to return them to her? However, you came back and...”

Gideon frowned.

Owen was unaware of that day’s incident but he was a smart man. He put two and two together from Nell’s description.

Then, he darted a stare at Gideon.

Gideon remained quiet before rasping, “I’ll have Matthew investigate this matter and we’ll probably have the outcome in a couple of days. Regardless, the jewelry shouldn’t have ended up in this place. I’ll ask Aunt after the investigation is done.”

Nell gave a nod.

Owen reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

“Don’t be too precarious of it. The Leiths may be presented in a rather susceptible situation in which people could easily find fault to make a fuss on, but it’s not in a state of panic yet. Make sure to conduct a thorough investigation first.”

Gideon nodded.

The group departed with a heavy heart.

Gideon first sent Owen back to his research institute before driving back home together with Nell.

To his surprise, he received a call from Matthew the moment he was home.

“President, I’ve managed to find out what you told me to investigate.”

With a sullen look on his face, Gideon froze for a moment.

“Speak.”

With that, Matthew informed him of the investigation outcome.

As Gideon’s complexion darkened by the minute, Nell worriedly walked over and held his hand.

A while later, he said in a gruff voice, “I got it. Send someone to keep an eye and don’t make any rash move. Wait for my instruction.”

On the other end of the line, Matthew complied before Gideon hung up.

Seeing that the call ended, Nell quickly asked, “What’s the verdict? What happened?”

Gideon scoffed coldly.

Instead of being forthright, he fixed his gaze on Nell.

“Come with me to a place tomorrow. You’ll know when you’re there.”

Nell did not know what to say.

...

The next day, Nell applied for a day off with the filming crew and set out together with Gideon first thing in the morning.

The pair sat in the car with Matthew behind the wheel and Nancy, too, joined the ride as they headed to a nearby stone-betting site.

Nell already had a hunch when Gideon spelled out the address before they departed.
