Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 355

“Since you trust her so much and feel like she can’t have done anything harmful deliberately, isn’t that all the more reason why it’s appropriate for the authorities to intervene to find out the truth so that her name is cleared?”

Old Master Garrett choked for a moment.

A few of the guests also started to look as if they were watching an interesting drama.

Tsk, it looked like the Leiths and Garretts were about to fight.

They did not know whether this argument was because of the child or something else.

At this time, the Old Master suddenly paled.

He clutched his chest, gasping rapidly, and his whole face suddenly turned red as if he could not breathe.

The Garretts who saw this immediately paled and ran over at once.

“Old Master!”

“Dad!”

“Grandfather!”

“Quick, call a doctor!”

Fortunately, the Garrett’s family doctor was always available. After examining Lizzy earlier, he had not left and remained outside to wait for orders.

At this moment, he quickly rushed in and opened the medicine kit to provide first aid to the Old Master.

Harriet Brockman was so anxious that her eyes had turned red; she was on the verge of crying.

She turned to Nell and pleaded with a compassionate tone, “Mrs. Leith, I know that Celine and you have never seen eye to eye. She’s done many things to you in the past and you even caught her in the act today, so you naturally won’t want to let her go.

“However, today is the birthday party for our family’s Old Master. It’s a joyous day, so I hope that you can forgive her on behalf of him and let bygones be bygones.

“If you’re not satisfied with Celine’s apology, I’ll apologize again on her behalf. Please forgive her. If you really insist on pursuing the matter, what you’re asking for is the Old Master’s life!”

Next to her, Jim Garrett also said with a heavy expression, “Celine is a member of the Garretts. If she has done something wrong, I’m also responsible as an uncle.

“If you want to pursue it, you might as well pursue me! She didn’t try to kill anyone intentionally. She was just timid, misunderstood, and afraid of being blamed because she just came back.

“If anything did happen to little Lizzy today, I wouldn’t say a word even if you wanted Celine to pay with her life. However, Lizzy is fine, so I hope that you’ll be magnanimous and let Celine live, as well as our Old Master.”

As soon as this was said, the crowd was in an uproar.

It was obvious that the Garretts were roasting Nell over the fire. If she still cared about the friendship between the two families, she would have to let Celine go.

Nell too never expected that things would end up like this.

She looked at Jim coldly and said, “Since you’ve put it like that, wouldn’t I be too ruthless if I decide to pursue the matter?”

Old Madam Quinton also frowned and gave the Garrett family a somewhat disgusted look.

However, for the sake of the Old Master’s reputation, she did not say anything.

Old Master Leith had also gone over, concerned about his old brother’s health.

Fortunately, the doctor was familiar with Old Master Garrett’s illness and could save him swiftly. After giving him some medicine, his condition eased up a lot.

“Old Garrett, how are you? Are you still holding up?”

Old Master Garrett nodded as his complexion started to get better.

When he raised his head and looked at Nell, his cloudy eyes were devoid of any emotion.
