Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 367

Jules, if only you were here…

You were always the kindest ever since you were a kid, always letting your two brothers have their way, always being filial to your parents, but unfortunately…

Unfortunately, you met him!

‘Don’t worry, even though you’re no longer with us, I’ll protect that kid! From now on, as long as she’s alive, no one will be able to touch a hair on her head!’

Although dealing with Jim Garrett was quite troublesome, with the help of Joseph Garrett, it did not take too long.

Old Master Garrett did not hide this issue from Joseph.

He told him everything including the identities of Nell and Celine Jennings.

With this new revelation, Joseph was shocked.

However, thinking back to when he first met Nell, that sense of familiarity when he saw her face was finally explained.

Ultimately, Jim Garrett was extradited overseas.

At the end of the day, Jim was still his son. Although Jim was a cruel and merciless man who had committed a huge sin, blood was still thicker than water. Old Master Garrett could not bear being too harsh on him.

Hence, after revoking all his authority, he sent Jim over to an overseas branch of the company.

On paper, he was appointed as the new General Manager of the company branch, but in reality, it meant that he was exiled.

It was no secret that the Garrett Clan operated mainly in China, specifically in the capital. That overseas branch was nothing more than a tiny subsidiary of the main company. There was no reason for them to send the eldest son of the main family there to hold the fort.

Speculations about what had happened behind the scenes were flung all across the media, yet no one uncovered the real truth.

After all, both Gideon Leith and Old Master Garrett did not want this debacle to be exposed.

Maybe Gideon kept quiet in consideration for Nell or maybe he did it because he still could not come to terms with her real identity. After all, if this incident was to be exposed, there was no feasible way that this secret could be safe.

On the other hand, Old Master Garrett did it for his family.

After all, for a family like the Garrett’s, pride and reputation were still important. Jim Garrett went completely overboard this time. If his actions were leaked to the public, it would no doubt affect their family name.

However, although no one could uncover the truth behind this entire fiasco, it started a potential rumor that Old Master Garrett had already decided to have his second son inherit his legacy, thus intentionally sending the eldest son off to prevent infighting.

In other words, he had abandoned one for the other.

The rivalry between the two brothers had been too intense, there was no way for the two of them to coexist together peacefully.

However, no matter if the rumor was real or not, a month later, Old Master Garrett finally announced his retirement at the Board of Directors’ meeting, handing over the company to Joseph Garrett.

Throughout the years, through his hard work, Joseph had already established himself as the backbone of this company.

Thus, when this decision was announced, no one was surprised.

After all, if that useless eldest son was the one who helm the Garrett's family, the future of the company would be as bleak as they could imagine.

As an aftermath of this entire fiasco, everyone was happy with the outcome, except for Jim Garrett who was far overseas right now.

On the other side of the story, Old Master Garett looked like he was deep in thought.

He was in a dilemma. He did not know if he should acknowledge Nell Jennings or not.

He knew that his time left in this world was short.

The doctor had already told him that his body could last for at most two more months.

In his heart, he wanted to recognize Nell, no question about it.

However, if she knew about it, with the entire incident with Lizzy last time and Jim Garrett trying to harm her this time, Nell’s impression of the Garrett’s must already be immeasurably low.

Furthermore, if she knew the truth, she would try to look into the circumstances of her mother. If that happened, how would he tell her the real circumstances of her birth?

Due to these conflicting emotions, Old Master Garrett was feeling quite frustrated.

After having such an incident happen in the household and seeing Old Master Garrett in shambles, Stephanie Garrett immediately pushed aside all her work at hand as she started to dedicate all her time to taking care of Old Master Garrett at home.

Seeing her filial attitude, Old Master Garrett also gave up on trying to marry her off to Youngest Graham. As for the future of the Garrett’s, he had decided to leave his descendants’ fates in their own hands. He had spent his entire life carefully planning out each deliberate move but the Garrett’s still ended up in such a sorry state. The future was still a long way off but he was already tired of it all. He neither could nor wanted to control the future anymore.

With that, time just slowly passed by peacefully.

After another month, Nell Jennings had made a full recovery and had officially returned to work.

Naturally, this incident did not escape the ears of the two elders in the Leith’s. With an injury that severe, it was incredibly obvious. Furthermore, Gideon would not even let her get her own drinks so there was no way the two elders would not realize the truth.

Luckily, the wound had already started to heal. Although it hurt the two to see Nell’s injuries, they knew better than to say anything.
