Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 1010

Nell was startled by her question.

She definitely did not ever think about going after immortality or anything like that.

The Arcane Jades being able to bring about immortality sounded like a farce, and she never had believed it.

Nevertheless, her disbelief did not mean that everyone else shared her sentiment.

Just look at someone as intelligent as Jeff. Was he not after immortality as religiously as those people were?

Nell could feel a headache creeping in with that thought.

She heaved a sigh and said, “Jan, do you still remember that time when we went to Gregory and Vickie’s wedding, and she fainted during the event?”

Janet froze. “Of course I remember that. What does the jade have to do with them?”

“Everything about it has to do with them. This jade I’m asking you to look for - they are the ones who asked me for help to find it.”

Janet was taken aback by her words.

Nell felt that she could not hide anything from her anymore.

After all, if Janet’s information was accurate, Gregory and Vickie would not be able to avoid a trip to Country F. She had to tell her the truth then.

Hence, she told Janet about how Shimon disclosed Vickie’s background to Gregory and how the couple made a deal with Jeff.

Janet was exceedingly astonished by Nell’s story.

She had always thought it was Nell who needed it. Who would have thought it was Vickie?

“So you’re saying that Vickie’s life will be in danger if we don’t find the last five Arcane Jades before Chinese New Year?”

Nell’s expression sank. “You can say that.”

“That man named Jeff - how can he be so heartless? He’s playing with people’s lives as if they are nothing. Doesn’t he have a wife or daughter?”

Nell broke into a smile when she heard the rage in her voice.

Janet was being her usual self again.

No matter how old she was and how much she had been through, her heart would always stay as innocent and pure as ever.

In her mind, good and bad were divided clearly as two different things. There could be no gray area in between.

However, she forgot that there were some people in this world who could not be categorized as either good or bad.

A murderer could practice filial piety, and a father who loved his kids could turn out to be a serial killer too.

Nell sighed but did not tell her anything.

She only grinned and said, “I don’t know if he has a wife or children. Anyway, thank you for helping us out with this. Go ask around and see if what you heard is true. I’ll let Vickie know if it is.”

Janet nodded. She just realized the severity of the situation, so she did not have the mood to joke around.

“Don’t worry. You can trust me with this. I’ll make sure to verify the information for you.”

Nell stayed on the line for a few minutes before finally hanging up.

Janet moved fast.

She had just spoken with Nell during the day, but it did not take long for her to call Nell back again that same night.

“Nelly, I’ve got something on my end. That uncle’s last name is indeed Alfuth, and he does have one of the Arcane Jades. It was about five years ago when the jades first got discovered that he managed to acquire one for his own collection through a jade salesman. But I heard him saying that he suspects the jade he has is a fake one because he heard that the real one was sold in an auction not long ago.”

Nell froze. “An auction?”

“Yeah, I think it’s the one that was held in… Lin City.”

Nell frowned.

An auction in Lin City? The Arcane Jade?
