Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 970

Jean froze for a moment. She then carefully looked at Nell’s facial expression and realized that something was off. Thus, she understood that something had happened.

As such, she waved her hand so that the staff would leave.

Then, she smiled at Nell and asked, “Nelly, what’s wrong?”

Nell took out the jade pendant from her bag and looked at Jean with a solemn expression. “Aunty, where did you get this jade pendant?”

Jean was shocked when she saw the jade pendant. She felt a little guilty too.

She tried to avoid Nell’s gaze. “The jade pendant…where else could I have gotten it? I bought it at the jewelry counter, of course. However, I gave the pendant to Lizzy. Why is it in your hands?”

As she said that, she attempted to snatch the jade pendant. However, Nell swiftly dodged.

Nell did not want to beat around the bush. She went straight to the point.

“Which jewelry counter? Take me there.”

After Jean heard Nell’s request, she gave a black look.

She stared at Nell angrily.

“So what? What is the meaning of this? Are you questioning me right now? Since when did it concern you where I got this jade pendant? Furthermore, I gave this pendant to Lizzy, not you. You might be her mother, but you can’t take her stuff whenever you want. I am telling you that this is a bad habit.”

Nell bit her lips and looked at Jean. She refrained from saying anything.

Jean then continued. “Eh, I don’t mean to blame you, but I thought that something serious had happened when you rushed over here. Who knew that it was all for a jade pendant? If you like jade pendants, then go and buy one for yourself. Why are you asking me? I am not responsible for finding information for you.”

After Jean had finished complaining, Nell opened her mouth. “This belongs to my mother.”

Jean’s heart skipped a beat.

She turned around and looked at Nell in disbelief.

Nell repeated her words just in case Jean did not listen to her for the first time.

“This belongs to my mother. The word engraved on the pendant is exclusive to my mother, so it must belong to her. Aunty, can you tell me where you got this jade pendant? Even if you bought it, can you tell me where you bought it?”

Jean had finally regained her senses after listening to Nell’s words. Her facial expression changed as she thought that Nell’s statement was a little hilarious.

“Didn’t your mother pass away many years ago? How could this be your mother’s…”

She felt guiltier as she continued speaking.

Her face had also suddenly darkened after thinking about who knows what.

Nell kept on staring at Jean without saying a single word.

After a while, Jean could not endure Nell’s gaze anymore. She waved her hand and said impatiently, “Okay, I will tell you. I didn’t buy this jade pendant. Instead, I picked it up.”

Nell frowned. “You picked it up? Where?”

Jean puckered her lips in displease. “I picked it up at a stone gambling site. I didn’t know that the jade pendant that I picked up belonged to your mother. If anything, I am the unlucky one over here.”

She rolled her eyes as she said that.

However, Nell was keen enough to catch the main point of Jean’s sentence.

“Stone gambling site? Which stone gambling site?”

“It’s…”

Jean stopped before she finished her sentence. Her eyes lightened up as she thought of something.

She rubbed her hands in excitement. “Nelly, let’s discuss for a while.”
