Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 84

Jason’s face stiffened.

Grabbing him by the arm, Celine uttered with a trembling voice, ‘Brother Jay, I didn’t...”

Janet scoffed. “Go on, play pretend!”

Celine. “...”

Nevertheless, Celine was unable to hold her tongue anymore, being under scrutiny of the public.

With a sad face, she looked towards Nell, quivering under her breath. “Sister, I can’t believe you’d say such a thing! Fine, I have nothing more to say if you insist on accusing me of framing you but empty words alone do not prove that you’re right!”

There was an admirer of Celine who just could not bear to see her in a sorrowful and fragile state.

He spoke in support of Celine, “That’s right. You didn’t explain yourself five years ago. Now that the dust has settled, you come out of nowhere and proclaim that you were wrongly accused. How can it be proven?”

Janet froze.

She had been moving accordingly to Nell’s plan and had not accounted for this step.

Hence, Janet gave Nell the side glance.

Nell coldly curled her lips and was about to speak.

“What makes you think it can’t be proven?”

A frigid yet steady voice was heard from the outside.

The voice, similar to the cold breeze outdoors, brought in a rush of distinct chill into everyone’s head.

Nell shocked as she cast a gaze of disbelief at the door and the sturdy figure walking in.

Gideon Leith?

Why was he here?

The crowd was in a daze.

Most attendees of the school celebration were prominent figures who had already made a name for themselves in the society.

Although they had no interaction with Gideon before, they knew who he was.

Gideon was on the financial news cover every week after all.

Only... Why was he here?

Was Azure High now on that level? It was only a school celebration yet even a big shot like him graced the event.

People were happy to have a big name show respect to their alma mater. It was basically showing respect to them!

His chilling gaze swept past the crowd and finally fixated on Nell.

“Since these two insist that the work is their own, why don’t we have them both have a rematch and redo the art from five years ago? The truth will be revealed then!”

The headmaster and the rest were pleasantly surprised by his arrival.

“President Leith, you’re here.”

After giving a faint nod, Gideon barely acknowledged him.

The Joneses had made unwarranted accusations towards his Nelly back during the birthday celebration. He had not dealt with them yet!

Seeing Gideon giving him the cold shoulder, the principal did not advance forward. Instead, he smiled apologetically. “We weren’t expecting you, please excuse us for not meeting you at the door. Do accept my apologies.”

Gideon frowned.

In the end, he turned to take a glance at the principal.

“Didn’t you send me an invitation? Why weren’t you expecting me?”

The headmaster, “...”

The guests, “...”

‘Really? You don’t have an inkling how hard it is to invite you?’

‘After all these years, the number of times you’ve attended events can be counted with your fingers.’

Although everyone grumbled silently, no one dared to speak their mind.

Awkwardly, the principal took one for the team. “Yes, yes, please pardon our oversight...”

Gideon raised his hand to interrupt. “That’s enough. Let’s get back to the matter at hand! What do you think of my suggestion earlier? If both parties consent, you can begin the competition immediately. You’re just recreating your own work anyway. It shouldn’t take too much time!”

Celine turned blue in the face.

The muscles on Nell’s face tensed before she gave a straightforward answer, “No problem. I agree with the suggestion.”

With that, she turned to glance at Celine.

“I remember you told the public that it took you two months to complete the work. Basically, your blood, sweat, and tears. I guess it isn’t easy for you to forget what art that’s made from your blood, sweat, and tears, looks like right? So it shouldn’t be hard for you to recreate it, huh?”
