Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 324

After Stephanie was gone, Old Master Garrett lovingly gazed at Celine and smiled. “Celine, your sister often keeps to herself. Please bear with her and don’t let it get to you.”

Celine obediently smiled. “Of course, we’re a family after all. Keeping the peace is most important.”

The old man nodded in commendation. Leaving the conversation at that, Mr. Collins pushed him away.

Watching at the side, Nell rendered speechless.

“Tsk tsk, don’t you think that Celine only resorts to the same trick up her sleeve? Always playing the victim and a paragon of virtues. Yet, it doesn’t get old and she gets away with it every time.”

Gideon coldly smirked.

“I guess a lot of people in this world judge a person’s character with their eyes instead of their hearts!”

Nell raised a brow.

She turned to look at Gideon and grinned. “I wonder if our great President Leith judges a person’s character with his eyes or heart?”

With downcast eyes, Gideon’s lips curled into a wicked smile.

“I look at people with my eyes and only at you, it’s my heart.”

He held her hand to his chest.

“Listen, my heart’s happy because of you!”

Rosiness crept onto Nell’s cheeks. Not only did she fail in hitting on him but she was, in turn, made a pass at. She quickly withdrew her arm.

Nell darted him a stare. “Rascal!”

She scurried past him and went inside.

Gideon chortled at the rare occasion his wife was caught blushing from jesting. He then followed her footsteps.

Nell had the feeling that she had to get to the bottom of the matter.

At least she would know what was going on should one day she be taken for a ride.

It was pretty simple to figure this out. An enquiry made to Joseph would solve it.

Joseph was aware of the sisters’ former relationship and knew that this matter would not go past Nell. Hence, there was no point in lying.

When Nell and Gideon spotted Joseph, the latter had just come out of the tea room with Harrison after talking business.

Dumbstruck by their presence, Joseph proceeded with a smile. “Deon, Nelly, why aren’t you guys having fun in the lobby and are here instead?”

Gideon remained quiet while Nell blissfully answered, “We went to the garden for a walk and somehow ended up here.”

She then took a glance at Harrison.

Harrison’s eyes met hers too. However, he merely nodded in gesture as they both were not familiar with each other.

Harrison grinned at Gideon. “Young Master Leith, it’s been quite a commotion for your latest buy-out of several major enterprises. Young people nowadays sure have what it takes.”

Maintaining a poker face, Gideon faintly replied, “The Grahams are into politics while the Leiths are in the trade. We’ve always kept to our businesses. I didn’t think Uncle Graham would pay close attention to Leith Corporation.”

Harrison was at a loss by his words.

He then awkwardly laughed.

“We’re old friends after all. It’s not strange that I have that information but don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t have any other intentions. I just wanted to praise you.”

Gideon slightly curled the edge of his lips.
