Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 392

At once, the cameras were aimed at him and numerous flashes went off.

Jason was petrified. When the crowd was finished with their pictures and realized who he was, they bombarded him with questions.

“Mr. Morton, we heard you met your ex-girlfriend Nell Jennings here. Is this true?”

“Both of you have broken up a long time ago. Are you rekindling old flames?”

“Do you know that she’s married to Mr. Leith now? Do you think that you have a chance with her?”

“How many times have you two met in secret?”

“...”

Countless accusatory questions were directed towards Jason. Everyone was so absorbed by the gossip that they forgot Jason was still tied up and gagged, so he simply could not speak.

Finally, one of the reporters realized that something was wrong with him.

He went up to Jason and removed the cloth from his mouth.

Jason roared, “What’s this nonsense?! I’ve been kidnapped! I’ve never met Nell!”

The reporters and hotel attendants fell silent.

Jason was no fool. With Nell’s current status, he could not afford to offend her.

It was all over between them. Admitting that he had an affair with Nell would only do him no good.

As such, Nell thought it was safe to leave him there.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Nell dragged Gregory along as they leaped onto the balcony next door. They eventually made it out of the hotel for there was nobody outside.

She guessed that whoever set her up had stationed reporters on the ground floor of the hotel instead of outside the room. So, they took the backdoor.

However, when they got out, a black Mayback stopped in front of them.

Gregory raised his eyebrows.

“Little Seven, if I told your husband that the man you are having an affair with isn’t Jason Morton but me, what would he do?”

Nell glared at him irritably and chided, “Quit fooling around!”

Then, she released her grip on his arm and walked towards the car.

The car’s window rolled down, revealing her husband’s charming side profile.

He did not look at them, but his hardened expression and the tension around them could already explain everything.

Nell pressed her lips together and said, “Gideon, I can explain.”

Gideon was quiet.

Soon, Nell entered the car and the car disappeared from Gregory’s view.

He observed the car as it left. In the end, his lips curled upward as he smiled in a self-deprecating manner.

At the same time, inside the car.

The atmosphere was so tense that one could hardly breathe.

Gideon remained silent and the aura he emitted was so cold that it could freeze someone to death.

Even Matthew, who was driving the car, sensed the chill on his spine and sneezed.

Nell kept her mouth shut, but after a while, she spoke.

“I’ve been set up. Someone used Jan’s voice recording to trick me. I thought something happened to her, so I came here. After that, I was knocked unconscious and when I woke up, I saw Gregory and Jason, who was trussed up.

“I suspect someone’s trying to use Jason to smear me. I’m not sure about other objectives, but luckily, I awoke earlier and escaped in time, so I don’t think they succeeded in their plan.”

She believed that her explanation was clear enough.

Yet, Gideon asked, “So, you mean this was all a misunderstanding?”

Nell froze.

She raised her head and looked into his eyes.

The man’s gaze was unusually cold—as if it was pure ice and it could freeze someone’s bones.

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately realized something.
