Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 436

“After you guys killed him, you pushed the blame onto someone who doesn’t even exist. Naturally, the police will steer things in your favor due to your status! Nell! You killed my husband, I’m not done with you!”

When she finished, she lunged toward Nell and desperately tried to tear her clothes apart.

Nell was startled, she managed to step back and barely avoided her thanks to Nancy and Yvette holding her back.

“The audacity!”

The old madam erupted and swiftly slapped her on the cheek, “Scarlet, have you lost your mind?”

The slap brought Scarlet back to her senses.

She looked at the old madam with a ring of daze in her eyes, almost in disbelief at what just happened. After all, she was Old Madam Griffin’s only daughter; her treasured jewel.

“Mom, I wasn’t wrong! They are murderers! They killed William…”

As she spoke, she broke out in tears.

The old madam bellowed, “Shut up! First of all, they did not kill him. And even if they did, William deserved it!”

Scarlet was taken aback again.

All these years, whenever the old madam had some tricky task, she would pass it to Scarlet, and Scarlet would in turn entrust it to William.

The Griffin family had a reputation to upkeep, if those tasks were performed by someone with the Griffin family name, their reputation would take a hit.

Things were different with William Cabot.

He had been meddling in the streets ever since he was a child. Due to his background and the circumstances in which he grew up, he had a lot of connections underground.

After all these years, though he was still as irresponsible as he had always been with his job, he was more than qualified at getting certain things done. From the outside, he might look like he was working in the corporation, but he had been acting as the old madam’s informant the entire time.

Over all these years, he had completed countless scummy tasks for her that should never see the light of day. Now that he was dead, his death was to be answered like this?!

Scarlet suddenly began laughing like she had gone mad. She was laughing so hard that tears began streaming out of her eyes.

She had dedicated more than twenty years of her life for this family, one way or another, she should have earned her place. William Cabot was her husband. Though the fault did lie with him, she figured she could at least get justice for his death.

Or so she had thought… As the saying went, loyalty fades. He had just passed a day ago, had the loyalty faded away already?

Scarlet felt dejected. It was at this moment when Gideon was ushered in from outside.

“He deserved to die!”

His voice was plain as he said to Scarlet, “I did spare him a chance, but he threatened me with the single most important person to me. Miss Griffin, what else would you have me do? Generously pardon him and not hold him accountable, so that he can get another chance to threaten my wife and my child?”

Scarlet visibly tremored.

She looked at Gideon with disbelief and barely managed a whimper, “The way you put it, aren’t you worried that people will…”

Before she could even finish, Gideon interrupted her.

Gideon chuckled coldly, the corner of his lips crooked upward in a chilling manner, “Do you think that I care what people have to say?”

His icy glare sent chills through Scarlet’s body, her lips began trembling slightly.

“You, you…”

She wanted to vent her fear and anger with a good scolding, but she could not get the words out.

The old madam impatiently waved her away, “Yvette, take your mother downstairs! Don’t let me see her again. The sight of her angers me!”

Yvette muttered ‘yes’ in a small voice and went over to hold Scarlet’s hand.

When she touched her mother’s hands, she noticed that they were ice cold, she was trembling all over.

She pursed her lips, she felt just as hurt and frustrated as her mother did.
