Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 294

Nell did not mean to look down on Jean but the set-up was much too obvious! As an outsider, Nell could immediately tell that something was wrong but Jean believed that Steven would help her.

Moreover, she even brought money along so that he would show her some raw stones.

What a brainless woman!

She jeered in her heart but did not say these thoughts out loud. Still, she was certain that Gideon most likely resonated with her.

Gideon did not look too pleased either, but he already had a plan after listening to his aunt.

He asked, “How much money did you give him?”

Jean eyed him guiltily and hesitated. “About… Seven or eight hundred million!”

Nell was speechless.

Sigh, this was what happened when a fool had too much money!

Gideon was at a loss for words, too.

He gave it a thought and asked, “So, does this mean that the actual reason you came to Fengqiao Villa that day to bother Nelly was to take the antiques and sell them? And then transfer the money to Palmer?”

Jean was embarrassed.

“I, I just wanted to borrow them for a while. Once I’ve made my money, I’ll return them to you.”

“Haha…”

Obviously, Gideon and Nell would not believe her.

Jean pleaded again. “Look, Deon, I’ve told you everything. Can’t you keep this a secret and hide it from your grandparents? I really don’t want them to know about this.”

Gideon lowered his voice. “Have you thought about how to take care of this matter?”

Jean was confused.

She had not comprehended what he meant by “taking care of this matter”.

Nell reminded her. “It’s evident that he’s just taking you for a ride and treating you like an idiot. He’s trying to swindle you. Don’t tell me that you haven’t realized this?”

Jean was dumbfounded now.

“It… It can’t be! Betting on stones was my choice. Furthermore, I’m worried that he’ll trick me, so I always pick the raw stones on my own and never let him get involved. There are so many raw stones in the hall. How does he know which stones I’m going to pick?”

Nell chuckled.

Gideon said, “It’s simple. He can just switch all the raw stones in the hall with inferior or regular stones. Neither you nor others can get good jade stones. Get it?”

Jean was taken aback.

Then, she retorted hurriedly, “Impossible, I’ve seen someone else getting a rare Imperial jade with my own eyes. It was right next to the raw stone I betted on!”

A rare Imperial jade?

A fine piece, indeed!

Nell laughed. “Easy, he can place a stone that he’s certain would yield a high-quality jade stone over there. Then, he’ll just have to get an accomplice to act as a customer, buy that stone, and open it in public. Later, he can line his pockets with both jade stones and cash. Not a big deal.”

Jean’s expression was colored with disbelief.

“Impossible! How?”

“Nothing’s impossible.”

Gideon tore away the last shred of hope that Jean clung on to. “This is the simplest and most common trick in the market. It’s so crude that not even Lizzy would fall for it. I can’t believe you actually believed him and fell so deep into his trap. Instead of blaming others for being cruel toward you, you’ll have to blame yourself for being stupid.”

Suddenly, Jean let out a scream.

“Deon, how can you say that to me? I’m your aunt!”

“Which is why I want to advise you that you must take care of this matter as soon as possible. Or else, it’ll be hard to predict what else will occur. Of course, if you handle this matter, you’ll definitely alert Grandpa and Grandma. If any commotion takes place in the capital city, no one will be able to hide from them, including me.”
