Chapter 35

The corners of Gideon’s lips lifted and his distant eyes were also tinged with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”

“I think that’s all.”

“Mm, goodbye.”

After hanging up, he looked at the phone and smiled happily.

The setting sun spilled golden light over the horizon like a warm glow over the world. Even his heart was wrapped in warmth.

He put away his phone and turned around, and walked into the conference room.

The executives were all waiting for him. The marketing manager stood in front of the projector and was preparing to continue his report on the next plan, but was interrupted by Gideon raising his hand.

“That’s enough. Everyone must be tired already. The meeting will stop here for now. I pointed out several plans that need to be revised, so do that and show them to me tomorrow morning. That’s all. Meeting adjourned!”

Then, he strode away.

The crowd of executives was stunned.

W-Wha... W-W-W-What?

Meeting adjourned?

In the past, whenever Gideon Leith called for a meeting, which one did not last until 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. at night?

Sometimes, the meeting even lasted till 11:00 p.m. or 12:00 a.m.!

Why did it end so early today?

Boss, it was only 5:00 p.m. now!

Not only the executives, but even Matthew was also slightly shocked too.

Earlier, when Gideon had gone outside to answer the phone, he had accidentally caught a glimpse of the caller ID on the screen and knew that it was from Nell.

However, he never expected that she would have so much charm!

She was able to get his boss, who had always been known as a workaholic, to stop working just to go home to have dinner with her?

Matthew silently thought in his mind, “Yep. It seems like I’ll have to change my strategy from now on!

“It doesn’t matter how well you serve the boss. You have to suck up to the wife first!’

...

After Nell finished her call to Gideon, she called Sylvia.

The Jennings were deep in a depressive mood.

Jason had been called back by Thomas, so he was not present. In the living room sat Sylvia, Celine, Shaun, and his wife.

The atmosphere was heavy and silent. No one said a word.

Therefore, when the phone suddenly rang, it was particularly abrupt and jarring.

Sylvia shot an impatient look at the butler, Fabian Westwood, and Fabian hurriedly walked over to pick it up.

A few seconds later, he trotted back and whispered, “Old Madam, it’s the Eldest Miss.”

Sylvia sneered.

“She still has the face to call back!”

Fabian bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

Celine said softly, “Grandmother, could it be that sister realized that she had gone too far this time and called to apologize?”

Shaun cursed angrily. “Does she think that an apology would be the end of it? Can she afford to pay for all the company’s losses?”

However, Sylvia’s eyes flashed at Celine’s words.

No one knew what she was thinking, but she stood up and walked over to answer the phone.

“Do you need anything?”

On the other side, Nell smiled.

“Mrs. Jennings, did you have an enjoyable day and night?”

Sylvia’s expression sank and she said coldly, “You didn’t have to call back to mock me. Now that things have come to this, even though the Jennings family has been humiliated, as a Jennings yourself, your reputation will be affected too!

“Is that so? I’m a little surprised. In your mind, am I still considered a part of the Jennings family?”

The words clearly laced with sarcasm made Sylvia’s throat tightened.

She almost blurted something out.

In the end, she muttered instead, “What exactly do you want to say?”

“Nothing much. It’s about what my mother left behind. The original condition was that I had to wait until I got married to inherit it. Now that I’m married, shouldn’t you return it to me?”

Sylvia’s eyes flickered.

She did not refuse and only said coldly. “When do you want it?”

“Naturally, as soon as possible.”

“The earliest would be the day after tomorrow. The notary’s lawyer isn’t in Jincheng right now, so I need time to inform him.”

“No problem!”

The conversation broke off here and the phone was silent.

Just as Nell was about to hang up, Sylvia suddenly let out a sigh.

“Nell, I know that you’ve accumulated deep resentment towards me and the Jennings family in these five years. I also admit that I didn’t think through this matter properly.

“However, no matter what, I’m still your grandmother, and they’re still your father and sister. You can hate us. That’s our family’s business, but how could you work with an outsider to deal with us?”

Nell suddenly laughed at these words.

“Mrs. Jennings, when you first went to Isaac Collins to frame me, did you ever think that we were family?”

Sylvia. “...”

“If you’re trying to play the family card so that I’ll persuade Gideon Leith to let you off, I’m sorry to say that I can’t do that.”

“You!”

Sylvia flushed in fury and gnashed her teeth. “This is also your mother’s property! Can you really bear to see everything destroyed?”

Nell’s tone went cold.

“Since you also know that it belongs to my mother, then you should return it to me! Otherwise, even if I die, I’m dragging you down with me!”

After saying that, she suddenly hung up.

Sylvia held her chest and breathed rapidly in anger, her face white with anger.

Celine quickly stepped forward to support her and exclaimed, “Grandmother, are you okay?”

Sally also rushed forward and helped her to the sofa before grabbing Sylvia’s medicine.

Sylvia’s complexion grew slightly better.

She slammed her cane on the ground bitterly. “That evil wench!”

Sylvia had heard the contents of the call and asked worriedly, “Mom, what do we do now?”

Sylvia shook her head in exhaustion.

“Don’t ask me. I don’t know either. Just take this one step at a time!”

...

On the other side, Nell was in a good mood after hanging up.

She pinched on her fingers to count the time and estimated that Gideon would be home soon, and went downstairs.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 34 Wait For Him To Eat Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 It was now six in the evening. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw a black Rolls-Royce stopping at the front of the courtyard.

Matthew opened the door for Gideon and the man got out of the car. The setting sun spread behind him, covering his slender body with a thin layer of golden light and making him look ethereal.

Gideon’s coat was draped over his arm. He smiled slowly upon seeing her standing in the doorway, dressed in her casual clothes and looking like a little wife.

“Were you waiting for me?”

He walked over and reached out to rub her head.

Nell stiffened slightly, somewhat unaccustomed to such intimate and indulgent actions.

She ducked back slightly and said, “I came out to see the sunset.”

Gideon’s smile deepened.

She could also watch the sunset from the balcony upstairs. In fact, the view there was better. However, he did not call her out on her words.

He simply smiled and ruffled her hair again before bending to change his shoes.

After changing to slippers, he took her hand and walked inside.

Dinner had already been prepared in the kitchen. Since it was Nell’s first meal at Leith Gardens, it was extraordinarily assembled.
