Chapter 208
Spoiled by the President
âLast night?â
Jason raised an eyebrow and thought for a while. âNothing much, just some unimportant matters.â
The smile on Celineâs face began to tighten.
Did he pay her a visit just to tell her something unimportant?
Who would ever believe that?
However, the Jason Morton she knew today was no longer the same as the past. His personality and temperament had changed, and sometimes she found it difficult to understand him.
Since he said that, she refused to press him further. She merely said in a tender voice, âIf thatâs the case, itâs fine. Actually, Sis has been down in the dumps because of the rumors about her and Director Coombs. You grew up with her, Brother Jay, and consoling her might make her feel better.â
Jason regarded her with an empty smile.
âArenât you jealous if I console her?â
Celine shook her head.
âOf course not, Sis is my relative and you are my future husband, Brother Jay. I feel happy when both of you are on good terms. Why would I be jealous?â
Finally, Jason gave a satisfied nod.
âYouâre such a nice girl, Celine.â
Celine returned an insincere grin.
They stopped chit-chatting and Jason left.
When she returned to the film set, the sweet smile that Celine showed Jason was no longer displayed on her face. With a hardened expression, she walked towards Nell and, before anybody else could react, raised a hand.
âSmack!â
A tight slap landed on Nellâs face.
Everyone was appalled.
They stopped whatever they were doing and looked at her in disbelief.
At the next moment.
âSmack! Smack!â
Two heavy slaps were delivered to Celineâs face.
A stunned Celine cupped her face with one hand and glowered at Nell. She yelled angrily, âHow dare you slap me?!â
Nell returned a hostile stare.
Nancy was busy pouring some fruit juice for her, so she could not attend to Nell in time. When she realized that her boss had been attacked, she got so furious that she charged towards Celine and kicked her in the chest.
Nellâs two slaps earlier were merely tit for tat. It hurt, but it did not do much damage.
In contrast, Nancyâs kick was merciless and it sent Celine flying.
âNelly, are you ok?â
Nancy turned to regard Nell with sadness and worry.
Nell was caught off guard as well, for she never expected Nancy to make a move. When she came to her senses, she shook her head. âIâm fine.â
âHow can you say youâre fine when your face is swollen? Itâs all my fault, I was busy pouring juice and didnât pay attention.â
Nancy kept blaming herself, but the rest of the crowd had begun to react to this incident and many of them gasped in fright.
Kylie was missing. Thus, for the past two days, Celine brought a slightly older assistant with her called Angel.
Angel screamed and ran towards Celine, trying with all her might to help the latter up.
âElder Sister Celine, are you alright? How are you?â
Celine pressed a hand on her chest. Her face was already swollen and reddish while her lips ached. With Angelâs help, she managed to sit up on the ground and took in a few breaths. Following that, her breathing steadied and she murmured, âMy chest... Hurts.â
Angel was overwhelmed with fear and panic.
âWhat should I do now? Iâll, Iâll call an ambulance.â
Then, she took her phone out and made a call.
After that, she directed a fierce glare at Nell and Nancy.
âThis is too much! How dare you get physical! If anything bad happens to Elder Sister Celine, youâll pay dearly for this!â
Nell twitched her lips angrily.
Actually, she thought that returning two slaps was enough after Nell slapped her. That kick was unnecessary.
However, what was done could not be undone, hence Nell would not blame Nancy either. She said harshly, âWhoever isnât blind saw who started it!
Why? Are you telling me that the one who slapped me first is right, while itâs wrong of me to defend myself?â
Naturally, the crowd clearly witnessed Celine hitting Nell first, so no one spoke up.
Deep down, Angel knew Celine was in the wrong too, but she refused to give in.
She cried furiously, âStill, you canât kick her! And itâs two against one! Elder Sister Celine canât get up now. How could you do this?â
Celine coughed twice on purpose and looked at them helplessly.
âSis, no matter how much you hate me, you shouldnât be so violent! After all, you were the one in the wrong, so how could you do that to me?â
Everyone else was confused.
Nell was in the wrong?
What was going on?
Nell raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought Celine had a screw loose.
Celine put on a pitiful expression.
âI know youâve always hated me. Ever since we began filming, Iâve always kept my distance from you to avoid trouble, but why did you do that to me?
Why did you drive a wedge between me and Brother Jay? Donât you know how important he is to me? You...â
âWhat? Nell drove a wedge between Celine and Jason Morton?â
âMy god, why? She doesnât seem like a bad person.â
âYou canât judge a book by its cover. Who knows what sheâs thinking about?â
âSheâs probably jealous that her younger sister has a great boyfriend, but she is still single!â
âHey, I heard a rumor. Did you know? Nell doesnât live with the Jennings. Apparently, she was kicked out. If her own family hates her, does this mean that she has a problem with her personality?â
âThat canât be! Iâve interacted with her and she seems like a nice person. I donât find anything wrong with her.â
âPfft, are you close to her? Youâre just her acquaintance and she surely wonât do anything to you.â
âThing is, even if she has an unpleasant personality, she isnât a mad dog who will bite anyone she sees. Celine is her younger sister and I heard Nellâs stepmother gave birth to the former, thus the reason for Nellâs jealousy.â
âIf thatâs the case, what Celine said is true...â
The people passed comments. Nancy was vexed when she heard those remarks.
She wanted to say something but Nell stopped her.
Nell threw Celine an empty glance and approached her.
âYou said I drove a wedge between you and Jason. Tell us, then, how I did it?â
Celine gulped and did not know what to say.
Nell squatted down in front of her.
âI merely offered him some kind words of advice and told him to be careful of the company he keeps, in case he gets used and trouble befalls the Mortons. But, you felt that I was trying to break up you two. Celine, youâve been with Jason for a few years. Do you feel so insecure about yourself?â
Celineâs face was colored a fiery red. âYou!â

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 âAnd...â Nell suddenly leaned towards her and held her gaze with her cold, hard eyes. She lowered her voice. âDid you forget how you ended up moving in with him?
Or, have you been too complacent in your role as the official girlfriend, that you have become amnesiac and selectively forgot your past actions? That which gave you the audacity to talk to me like that in front of so many people?â
