Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 946

The few of them looked at Nell, whom the old man was pointing at.

Nell felt awkward and coughed slightly. She asked him, "So that means the jade’s really with your great-granddaughter, Flora?”

Grandpa Brooks' face, which had been joyful before this, sank all of a sudden.

He sighed.

"Yes, it’s with her, but I didn't give it to her. She secretly took it away."

Nell was stunned and a little puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

Grandpa Brooks sneered.

"Well, what does that mean? What else could it mean? That girl’s just an ungrateful child. I raised her for so many years and thought she would be by my side until I die. Who knew, she suddenly met a man and ran off with him after his sweet talk. She even took some treasures from the house when she left. The Arcane Jade that you guys want so much should’ve been taken by her. So if you really want it, don’t bother me. Go find her instead! If you manage to find her, it’s yours. If you can’t...”

The old man shook his head and continued, "Tsk tsk...I've already told you everything I can. If you still can't find it, you can't blame me."

The whole group was a bit shocked.

Nell was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Alright. Don't worry, we’ll find it. We'll let you know when we find them."

This time, Grandpa Brooks did not say anything.

Nell and the rest got up, bid him farewell, and turned to leave.

After leaving the Brooks Villa, the group stood on the road. All of them were at a loss.

What they thought was a sure thing had gone out of their grasp again, so everyone was in a bad mood.

Vickie was the first to ask, "What are we going to do now?"

Nell frowned and said, "Of course we’ll have to find her, but I heard that Flora’s been missing for some time. Grandpa Brooks also looked for her but to no avail. I don't think we'll be able to find her for a while. We certainly can't stay here, so why don't we go back to the capital first and think of a solution? What do you think?"

Naturally, Gideon had no opinion about that.

Gregory, on the other hand, had some disapproval.

His eyes were dark and his voice was cold.

"I disagree. Who knows if that old man’s lying? What if it wasn't with his great-granddaughter at all?"

Nell looked at him and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"Search the house."

He paused for a moment, and in the end, also felt that this was not quite appropriate, so he added, "I won't give up until I search the house."

Nell was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay then, we'll make arrangements for the return trip, but we won't leave yet. Let’s wait until it's dark, then we'll go with you to search his house once more. If we don't find it, we'll leave. Then, we'll think of a way to find Flora."

Gregory nodded his head.

After the few of them agreed, they left the place without lingering any longer.

Soon, the sun went down and it was nightfall.

Four shadows sneaked into the Brooks Villa.

At this time, Grandpa Brooks was already asleep.

Nell sneaked into the bedroom first and knocked the old man unconscious with a karate-chop. She then signaled the other three to search the villa in detail.

The villa was not too big nor too small.

The piece of Arcane Jade was so tiny, so it was not easy to find.

The other three people left the bedroom to look elsewhere, and Nell was in charge of searching the bedroom where Grandpa Brooks lived all these years.

After looking around, she did not find the Arcane Jade in the bedroom.

In the end, her eyes landed on Grandpa Brooks.
