Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 441

His face was grim, he said without much of a hint of expression, “It’s only natural for the ones up top to keep his underlings under control this way.”

“Is that so? Then why did he not even tell you about it when he entrusted a major task like assassinating Gideon to Evelyn? You should be more qualified for the task than her!”

Carl’s expression changed a little.

“You will be simply cast aside after everything in you has been exhausted and you’ve served your purpose! I’m just giving you a fair reminder here while you’re still managing the Tiger’s Den. Say, if one day these secrets are exposed, considering Scarface’s ruthless methods and your past scuffles with Evelyn, how do you think it will end for you?”

“Enough!”

Carl suddenly violently slammed the table and shot up, he glared down at her viciously.

“You are trying to tear us apart from the inside! Do you think that I will be simply misled by you into betraying my master? How very naïve!”

Nell did not speak, she stared at him silently.

Deep down inside she knew, Carl’s was wavering!

If he had calmly listened to her dissection and agreed to discuss the terms of their agreement, then it would be her instead who would have to consider her next steps. Carl’s overly exaggerated reaction had proven her suspicions correct, his confidence was wavering, and he was merely trying to cover it up!

She hit him right where it hurt most!

Nell smiled easily, “You are looking too much into it, of course I’m not trying to get you to betray your master. Still, all things considered, you should look out for your family at the very least. It wouldn’t hurt to give yourself something to fall back on!”

As she finished, she took out a recording pen and placed it on top of the table.

“No need to be so eager to refuse, why don’t you decide after listening to this.”

There was a faint glare in Carl’s eyes, he still ended up sitting down after a while. He picked up the recording pen and opened it.

A familiar voice came from the recording pen.

It was Evelyn’s voice!

In truth, everything she knew about Carl had come from Evelyn when she had someone deliver the message for her last night.

She did not know what compelled Evelyn to tell her all these things, she figured that she probably had her motives for doing so.

At that point, Evelyn had no reason to lie to her, so she decided to take a leap this one time.

This recording pen was also one of the items Evelyn had someone hand to her the night before.

The details within were nothing short of astounding. Even Nell and Gideon were utterly shocked when they had heard it.

As expected, by the time Carl had finished listening to the contents, the term shock could no longer do his expression any justice.

“How do you feel about this recording?”

Carl was briefly started, he looked at Nell with what was a mixture of countless expressions without saying a word.

Nell smiled. Her dark eyes gleamed with a bewitching glow.

She placed the recording pen on the table and said softly, “Give this to Scarface. Believe me, once Scarface listened to this recording, it will be smooth sailing for you from here on out, you will no longer have to serve others!”

Carl’s lips trembled, his face paled slightly.

After some time, he settled into a solemn expression again. He mustered the calmest expression he could at the moment and turned to Nell.

“You’re giving me a lot here, what do you get out of this?”

When Nell saw that he was so quick to make a decision, a touch of joy gleamed past her eyes.

She answered, “I want you to introduce me to Scar, tell him I want to meet him.”

Carl raised an eyebrow, “Who in the world are you? What are you trying to achieve with all this?”

“Now that’s none of your business!”

Nell took a pen from the table, wrote down her name on a slip of paper, and handed it to him.

“Call me if there’s anything at all.”

She got up and left after that.

--

When Nell walked out of the Tiger’s Den, she took a glance at her wristwatch. It was four-thirty in the evening.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, things went well.

Matthew drove over, the two of them got into the car. Together, the three of them returned to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, they saw the old butler of the Griffin family standing outside the patient room.
