Chapter 124
Spoiled by the President
Gideon said in a low voice, âItâs nothing. Go and get a basin of warm water.â
Aunt Joyce quickly agreed. âYes.â
Gideon carried Nell to the bedroom and Aunt Joyce entered with the water.
He sent her out and wrung out a hot towel to carefully wipe Nellâs face and hands, along with her body.
Upon a closer look, although the woman was unconscious, she appeared to be unharmed.
Gideon sighed in relief.
Before long, Matthew arrived with a doctor.
After an examination, it was determined that there was nothing serious. Although she was drugged, the effects were not intense and not particularly vicious.
After all, the Jennings were not really a despicable family, so they naturally would not dabble in anything too dreadful.
The doctor gave Nell a shot of antidote and helped her to reduce her fever before leaving.
Matthew had been waiting in the living room downstairs. After Gideon confirmed that Nell would be fine, he tucked her in and went downstairs.
âDid you find out what happened in the Jennings residence today?â
Matthewâs expression grew awkward at the question.
He glanced at Gideonâs heavy expression and said heavily, âThe drug was given by Old Madam Jennings, because...â
Matthew told Gideon all about what happened in the Jennings residence tonight.
Gideonâs face was already gloomy. After listening to the whole story, it grew so dark that it could drip water.
âPresident, everyone in the Jennings family was present today, including her biological father, but they still did something like this to her. Do you...â
Gideon sneered.
âIâll deal with this matter personally. Youâll help me with something else.â
He spoke while handing a driverâs license to Matthew. âCheck this company and this person. I donât want to see them in Jincheng in the future.â
Matthew shivered.
He took the driverâs license and glanced at it. Although he did not know how this man offended his boss, he did not dare to ask too many questions.
He replied respectfully, âUnderstood.â
Matthew turned to leave.
Aunt Joyce approached cautiously and asked with concern, âYoung Master, is the Missus alright?â
âSheâs fine.â
Gideon went back up the stairs and paused halfway.
âGo make a cup of honey water.â
âYes, Sir.â
When he returned to the bedroom, Nell was already awake.
The antidote the doctor gave her was very effective. In just half an hour, she had woken up.
When she saw Gideon, she was stunned for a moment before asking, âHow did you find me?â
Gideon grew a little angry at that.
He stepped forward and gently gripped the womanâs chin, and said in a low voice, âWhy didnât you wait for me?â
Nell looked at him in confusion.
âI was worried that the Jennings would come after me! I couldnât hold on much longer. If they found me, I wouldnât be able to get away.â
âThen you should have just found a safe place to hide.â
Just the thought that she had the nerve to get into a strangerâs car under that circumstance and almost met with danger.
Nell sulked in aggravation, âI didnât think that far! I was panicked and confused at that time. How would I think about that?â
She peered at his face as she spoke and hugged his arm coquettishly.
âHubby, I was wrong~~â
Gideonâs cold mask cracked.
Nell hugged his wrist again and said pitifully, âI thought that youâd find me soon! I didnât think that the driver would be so bad. Besides, arenât I fine?
No bad guys will dare to bully me with my heroic and valiant husband around!â
The womanâs voice was gently and incomparably waxy, deliberate to the point of being sappy, but instead of appearing disgusting to the man, it was incredibly effective instead.
Gideon smiled coldly.
In the end, he let go of her chin and said coldly, âYouâre lucky this time.â
He did not dare to imagine what the consequences would have been if he had not noticed something wrong with the car, or if he had simply missed it.
His eyes could not help but darken at the very thought.
However, Nell was oblivious to this.
After a close shave with disaster, the small bites of food she had eaten at night had already digested by now.
She rubbed her stomach and whispered, âHubby, Iâm hungry.â
Gideon paused and glanced at her. âHungry?â
âYeah, Iâm hungry. I didnât have much to eat at night and made such a big scene. Are there any leftovers I can have?â
âWhy do I get the feeling that you want to eat me more than dinner?â
Nell. â...â
Was it appropriate to say it like that?
She blushed and said awkwardly, âAhem, no, thatâs... The doctor gave me medicine so I feel much better now. I-I donât really need that.â
Gideon smiled, but it was unclear if it was mocking or not, and turned to leave.
âCome down yourself if you want to eat.â
Nell was stunned. âOh.â
Downstairs, in the dining room.
Gideon asked Aunt Joyce to prepare some food, and Nell sat down to eat alone.
The man played with his phone on the sofa in the living room.
Nell peeked at his face and saw that he seemed to be angry again, and felt wronged.
She was the victim. Why was he angry again?
That was so unreasonable!
However, when she taught about tonight, she also grew a little angry.
For Sylvia to go this far, it could be said that Nellâs relationship with the Jennings family had been destroyed.
She thought carelessly as she drank her soup.
Nell had originally wanted to take the opportunity to return to the Jennings family for a while to find out the relationship between the Jennings and the capital.
She always had a sinking feeling that there was something fishy about this matter, and she could not feel at ease if she did not get to the bottom of it.
However, she never expected to fail so miserably.
Just the thought of last nightâs incident filled her with anger.
At this time, her phone suddenly rang.
Nell looked at the screen. It was Hannah.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âMs. Jennings, early this morning, a few people claiming to be your grandmother and father came over and said they wanted to see you. We couldnât stop them, and theyâre in your office now.â

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Nell was stunned as her expression changed.
Then, she sneered.
Very good. They dared to take the initiative to find her?
She said in a low voice, âAlright. Iâm coming over now.â
After hanging up, Nell drove directly to Xinghui.
The Jennings family came over early in the morning to make a fuss, and word had already gotten around in the company. The staff all looked at Nell with gossipy expressions.
Nell kept her eyes straight and made a beeline into the elevator.
As soon as she left, several employees who came in later went to the front desk and asked, âHey, whatâs going on? Did the Jennings family come?â
âYeah!â The front desk staff looked awkward and hesitated to speak.
The employees were all elites and knew that something was going on. They eagerly asked, âWhat happened? Tell us about it quickly.â
