Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 365

Jim was fuming from the ears but could only comply with her wishes.

“Fine, I promise you. You have to tell me where you are first.”

“No rush, I still have a condition!”

“You still have a condition?” Jim could not believe his ears. “Aren’t you clear on the situation? Only I can save you now. What are the chances of you surviving if people were to find out you devised a plan to kill Nell?”

Celine scoffed. “I’ll be dead and so are you. Don’t forget, you came up with the idea.”

She then played the recording to the other end of the phone line as a reminder.

Jim had reached the limit of his patience yet was wary of the evidence she had in hand. In the end, he forcibly swallowed the fury within.

“Fine! You win, speak! What’s your condition?”

“Simple. Prepare me a sum of money of at least fifty million and transfer to my offshore account. Don’t expect me to be a beggar in another country!”

Jim gnashed his teeth. “Fifty million? Why don’t you just rob a bank!”

Celine coldly smirked. “Uncle, why the huge reaction? Fifty million is just a small sum to you! You ditched your wife and daughter over the years so that you can live the life of an heir in the capital. Hadn’t you thought about what my mom and I have been through?

“To tell you frankly, I’ve had it with you during my time in the capital! You want to send me abroad now that the jig’s up. Sure, it looks as though you’re protecting me but you’re only doing it to protect yourself.

“So, am I wrong to ask for fifty million to keep my lips sealed? Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing to pay, I’ll keep my mouth shut and never breathe to a single soul, not just on this matter, but your other dirty dealings as well.”

Jim’s eyes were blaring red from anger.

There was a menacing glint in his eyes.

After awhile, he took a deep breath. “Okay! I promise you.”

“Now you’re talking! I’ll send you the address later on. Don’t get smart with me, I don’t have just one copy with me, I backed it up in other places too.

“These recordings will be leaked out if anything happens to me. Everyone will know that the seemingly loving and benevolent Eldest Master of the Garretts is such a cold-blooded person behind the doors!”

Jim coldly cut her off. “Enough!”

Celine curled his lips with a smug before hanging up the call.

After the line was terminated, she packed a few necessities and sent the address to Jim.

Just then, the doorbell rang outside.

With her heart sinking to her stomach, she froze.

“Who’s there?”

“Room service.”

Celine let out a sigh of relief.

She knew it. That person may have been caught but he would not give it up that quickly. They would not be able to link it to her yet.

Celine raised her voice at that thought. “There’s no need for that.”

However, there was a click on the door and soon the door swung open.”

“You...”

Shocked, she lifted her head and saw the man, often toiling away from dawn to dusk, walking in with two rows of bodyguards in tow.

His cold and gloomy eyes fixated on her. “Celine Jennings, choose your death!”

...

Celine had never imagined that the crime would be brought to light this quick.

Standing in the middle of the living room, she faced the stone-cold man with her feet heavy as though lead was infused in them. She could not find the strength to lift her legs.

“What-what are you trying to do? Young Master Leith, I didn’t get into Sister’s hair recently. I followed her instructions to apologize to everyone. You can’t be here for another round of payback!”
