Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 374

Nell was so overwhelmed by the shocking revelation that it took her a while before she could respond again.

“Has the police been informed?”

The man shook his head and said, “No. Old K has too many skeletons in his closet that informing the police isn’t an option. For now, we can only investigate and settle this matter in private.”

Nell nodded understandably.

She could only feel a sense of crushing force weighing down on her chest.

The man had noticed her in a dispirited form and he let out a peal of soft laughter.

Once again, his handsome face went near hers and the man smiled and said, “Little Seven, now that we’ve finished talking about business, please tell me the truth. In the four years that you’ve never seen me, do you truly not miss me at all?”

Nell’s disheartened expression immediately switched into one of anger. She took one step back and stared sternly at the man.

“Gregory Graham! I’m warning you to never use your dirty tricks on me again! It’ll never work on me!”

Gregory smiled nonchalantly, it was especially enticing.

“Little Seven has broken my heart. It was merely four years ago when you’ve called me ‘brother’ with such affection, today it has changed to ‘Gregory Graham’. Why are you so heartless and brutal?”

Nell did not speak any further. She had had enough with his nonsense and started to leave.

Gregory’s laughter was still audible behind her. He said, “Little Seven, I’ve gotten your phone number. I’ll give you a call tonight, make sure you pick it up.”

Although his tone was one of mischief, Nell could not shake off the dreadful feeling that it contained a hint of threat as well.

Her expression sank and she hastily left the washroom.

After she had exited the washroom, Nell was disturbed by the incident and could no longer stay any longer. She bid Janet and the group goodbye before she left the event with Nancy.

It was already ten at night when Nell arrived home. Gideon was reading in his study room. He knew that Nell would not have eaten much at the event and had specifically instructed Aunt Joyce to prepare her favorite seafood porridge.

Nell did not have much appetite. She only took in a few mouthfuls before she left the rest on the table.

Throughout that night, Gideon had always been by Nell’s side.

Then, Nell’s phone started buzzing and it was detected by Gideon’s sharp hearing. Nell saw the number and was immediately clear of who the person was from the other side. While she was hesitating whether to pick up the call, she heard Gideon ask, “Have you found out who’s the person behind all those flowers?”

Nell was stunned. Perhaps it was a reaction of guilt, she instantly declined the call.

She lifted her head and looked at Gideon blankly for a while.

“Oh, I haven’t.”

Gideon was mildly unamused.

“Do you need my help?”

“There’s no need for that.”

Nell responded swiftly. If Gideon had helped, it did not matter if he had managed to find out anything. It would put Nell in a sticky situation where she would not know how best to explain her situation.

Gideon tilted his head in curiosity.

“Are you not feeling well today?”

Nell forced out a smile and shook her head.

Then, the phone went buzzing again.

Gideon raised his eyebrows. He saw the phone screen and stared at her with a strange look, wondering why she would not pick up the phone.

Nell felt her entire body tensing up. She debated whether to pick up the call before finally declining it.

“It’s just work-related matters. It’s too late now, I’ll call back tomorrow!”

Then, she covered herself in her quilt and sank into a deep sleep.

Gideon seemed to have sensed something. However, he refrained from saying any further and had also turned the lights off before going to sleep.

It was a peaceful night.

On the next day, Nell was woken up by the ringtone of her cellphone.

Before she could fully open her eyes, she was already connected to the phone call.
