Sylvia took a deep breath and started to speak.
There was really not much to hear.
It was simply because that night, back in the Jennings’ residence, Nell challenged her authority in front of everybody and walked away like nothing ever happened.
Sylvia knew that for the sake of what Nell’s mother left behind, she would definitely attend Celine’s birthday banquet.
However, she knew that with Nell’s character, she would not be as obedient as she hoped.
Therefore, she simply decided to go a step further and simply drop Nell into the abyss!
Everyone knew what kind of person Isaac Collins was.
If Nell fell into his hands, it would be impossible to escape again!
At that time, even if she tried to say anything, no one outside would believe her.
Celine, on the other hand, could rest easy and continue to be Mrs. Morton.
Celine’s reputation would be preserved along with her position in the entertainment industry.
This also meant that she could continue to make movies and earn money, and Fenghua Entertainment, who she had just signed to, would not suffer any loss either.
It truly was… A great plot!
What a shameless scheme!
Although Nell had roughly guessed this in her heart, she still felt it hard to believe when she actually heard Sylvia say this.
How could there be such brazen people in this world?
Gideon seemed to have sensed her anger.
The large hand that held her palm suddenly squeezed gently.
She raised her head and looked at the man’s profile.
His face was as delicate as the outline of a painting, and it seemed to shine with a cold and hard determination under the light.
His inky black eyes were calm and still, but they carried an indescribable power to stabilize one’s heart.
Nell’s heart inexplicably settled down as the anger and irritation in her heart was soothed.
Gideon toyed with her soft fingers and said casually, “In that case, there’s nothing more to say. Call the police!”
Sylvia paled.
“President Leith! I’ve told the truth according to your request. How could you call the police now?”
Gideon turned to her with a smile that did not look like a smile.
“I only promised not to burn the documents. Did I say I wouldn’t call the police?”
Sylvia. “...”
He continued, “I’m a good law-abiding citizen. If I encounter someone who wants to persecute my wife, of course I have to go to the police. What’s wrong with that?”
The Jennings. “...”
Isaac Collins. “...”
Nell. “...”
Matthew. “...”
‘Mr. Leith, a good law-abiding citizen? Are you serious???
‘Who was it that secretly ordered me to plant evidence? Who was it that ordered the hostile takeover? Who was it that used this to threaten others?
‘Tsk tsk! Really… To be so shameless for the sake of a woman, I think you have great potential to be an incompetent ruler in the future!’
Of course, Gideon did not know what Matthew was saying internally.
Even if he did, he would not care.
Who would he spoil if not his woman?
Nell’s mouth could not help but curl up at him playing with her fingers.
She was clearly long past the age and mentality where she would be easily moved, but she suddenly felt touched. What was going on?
Especially when she found out about his true intentions!
