Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 81

The criticism threw Mia into a state of panic.

Seeing that Nell was unwilling to budge, she blurted, “Enough! What trade secret? It’s only a simple design manuscript.

“Nell Jennings, five years ago, you stole Celine’s design and passed it off as your own. Let’s not forget that you crippled any chances of her enrolling in the Royal Academy of Arts!

“Now, you’re going to use the original manuscript from five years ago to set her up and claim this design as yours! For the wicked person that you are, aren’t you afraid you’ll anger the heavens?”

These words stumped everyone.

What? Mia had in her hand the design manuscript of the scandal involving Nell five years ago?

What was the meaning of all this?

Having got the picture, the people saw Nell in a different light.

Using the original manuscript from five years ago to set Celine up and claim the design as hers... That could only mean...

Janet stayed tight-lipped.

She gestured towards Nell by giving her a look.

‘Sister, you asked me to help you play a scene but you never told me what happens in this scenario!’

Of course, Janet did not believe Nell intended to frame Celine.

Only, it never crossed her mind that Mia would say such a thing. The absence of proof about the incident was the reason why Nell was not cast free of doubts. The way Mia was leading the atmosphere in the room, they might have just shot themselves in the foot.

Janet may have felt unsettled but Nell reacted by scoffing.

“So you’re saying that the design blueprint in the flash drive is the original manuscript from five years ago?”

Mia straightened her back. “Of course.”

“Ha!”

She let out a despondent smile without a word more. Making a beeline towards the table, she started up the laptop and plugged in the flash drive.

Soon, the document was located.

“Since you’re here, Celine Jennings, why don’t you come and take a look at what this document is all about?”

To be called by name out of the blue, Celine was startled. She maintained a calm outlook as she walked over but when her eyes feasted on the colorful design print on the screen, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

“Madam Amy’s latest design sketch?”

Nell gave a nod. “Yes, I found it online. I saved it intending to derive into Amy’s recent inspiration and style. I didn’t think you were also interested in this work! You could have told me and I’ll send you a copy. Why the need to sneak behind my back, right?”

Color completely washed off Celine’s face.

Joining her in a lighter complexion, was Mia.

How did it come to this?

Just moments earlier, Celine still held on to some hope even when Mia was captured.

In the eyes of the public, she was the victim in the incident five years ago.

Everybody would take her side as long as she persisted that Nell was out to get her and the instruction to have Mia steal the original was merely an act of defense.

Yet now...

How did it end up like this?

Nell narrowed her eyes in reflection of her delight.

“Celine Jennings, you seem disappointed!”

Celine was too in shock to adjust her facial muscles. A chill crept up her spine at the thought of Nell going through lengths to get her good tonight.

Sensing something amiss, Jason who was standing beside whispered, “Celine, what on earth is going on?”

Others may be unaware of Mia and Celine’s relationship, but he was cognizant.

However, Celine kept to herself.

Janet ran out of patience. “We should call the police, now that everything’s cleared up!”

Mia shouted, “Don’t call the cops!”

“Who do you think you are, ordering me?”

“You can’t call the police!”
