Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 949

Grandpa Brooks narrowed his eyes and looked at Nell Jennings.

"What's the best of both worlds?"

Nell said in a solemn voice, "Now we won’t even force you to take out the jade. You just need to do as we say and cooperate with us, then we’ll help you to rescue Flora. When Flora is returned, you must give us the jade. Is that okay?"

Grandpa Brooks pursed his lips.

Gideon also said, “I can guarantee with my character that I’ll help you get her out. Grandpa, this is in the vicinity of China. If we don't have a way to get her out, who else do you think could? Furthermore, are you so sure that he’ll really let her go after you give him the jade? What if he did not release her at that time? Then you’ll be left with nothing."

In fact, Grandpa Brooks understood what he said.

He was unwilling to believe them before because he wanted them to leave quickly, but now that he thought about it, this was the safest way.

Grandpa Brooks looked at Gideon and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you can really save Flora?"

Gideon's face was serious as he said, "I swear on my life."

"Good, then I'll trust you this once."

Grandpa Brooks said this, then suddenly got up and walked out.

The group of them was stunned and followed after the old man.

At this time, it was dark outside, not to mention people, there was not even a single street lamp.

However, Grandpa Brooks was able to walk on the winding mountain road as if it was flat ground, which Nell and the others could not do.

Gideon held Nell's hand and Gregory held Vickie's hand. The four of them rushed to keep up with the old man in fear of losing him.

They were wondering where the old man was going and saw that he was going up a small slope. On top of the slope was the grave of old Mrs. Brooks.

Vickie was baffled.

"Why did he come here again?"

Gregory signaled for her to be quiet for a while, then the group of them climbed up the small slope and saw Grandpa Brooks squatting in front of the tombstone, digging something with force.

Nell shook hard and understood at once.

She pushed Gideon and said, "Go help."

Gideon nodded, unbuttoned his cufflinks, rolled up his sleeves, then went over and squatted to help Grandpa Brooks dig the earth.

The pit was not shallow, because it had not rained for a while, the soil was dry, so it was hard to dig deep with just hands.

Gideon simply walked to the side, broke a wrist-thin branch, and squatted down to continue digging.

After about two minutes of work, he finally dug something out.

It was a gray handkerchief.
