Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 247

Skylar’s help in putting into perspective snapped Celine out of her thoughts.

Celine mumbled, “Oh, right. I’m still an in-law to the Morton family as long as I remained married to Brother Jay. They won’t just abandon me. Sister Skylar, please help me get Brother Jay through the phone.”

Skylar nodded and walked out.

It did not take long before the phone call ended.

She came in and told Celine, “Young Master Morton and the rest are on their way. He must’ve heard that you’re detained. He said he’s almost here when I called him.”

Celine finally let out a sigh of relief.

She thanked her lucky stars for she was still Mrs. Morton.

Even if Jason no longer loved her, he would not just sit by and watch as she became a criminal for the sake of the Mortons’ good name.

Skylar waited with her for a while and soon, Jason and Thomas arrived at the scene.

The grievance pent up within Celine exploded the moment of their appearance.

With tears brimming in her reddened eyes, she cried out, “Dad! Brother Jay!”

Thomas, bearing the same aloof outlook, nodded.

“You guys should have a chat. Let me head over there and talk with them.”

Jason bobbed his head.

The Morton family had connections in Jincheng after all and due to the delicate position Celine was in, everyone gave them space.

The interrogation room was cleared out to let them speak in private.

Sitting on a chair, Celine released the bottled-up bitterness and grievance through her tears.

Jason took a seat opposite her and stared back rather distantly.

“Do you think that crying will solve anything after creating the mess you made?”

Celine’s chest tightened.

Retracting her tears, she lifted her head and gazed at him amid the teary eyes.

“I’m sorry, Brother Jay. I have caused you trouble. Thank you for saving me. I promise you, I’ll be good from here on out. I won’t ever stir any trouble.”

Jason tauntingly tugged the corner of his lips.

“Here on out?”

He scoffed. “Save it for later. Tell me what’s the situation now.”

Aggrieved, Celine immediately nodded and answered, “Sister Skylar went to make bail but they won’t allow it. Brother Jay, you have to come up with something.”

Jason nodded.

“I can get you out of this but you need to cooperate with me, do you understand?”

Celine was quick to give her word.

“Brother Jay, how do you want me to cooperate? Tell me, I’ll do it.”

Jason sarcastically curled his lips. “Where’s Nell?”

Celine, “...”

As her face saw a change of emotion, Celine heard a buzzing sound in her head and something in her just snapped like an explosion.

Staring at Jason in disbelief, she uttered in a quivering voice, “So, you believe that I hid Nell as well?”

Jason darted a cold stare at her. “I know what kind of a person you are. I’m also aware of how much you hate Nelly. Celine, we’re husband and wife after all. I’ll save you as long as you tell me her whereabouts. What do you think?”

Celine found it absurd.
