Chapter 222
Spoiled by the President
âWow, Young Master Mortonâs here to visit Celine again!â
âThe bouquet is so beautiful. Tsk, Iâm so jealous!â
âCelineâs really lucky. Oh, I heard that you two are married? Is that true?â
Jason delivered the roses to Celine before hugging her close into his embrace. âThatâs right, thanks everyone for your wishes,â he said with a smile.
The crowd immediately broke out into chaos, all offering their words of congratulation.
âYoung Master Morton, when is the wedding?â
âThatâs right, weâre waiting for the wedding sweets!â
Jason flashed a gentle smile. âThe wedding is in preparation. As for the sweets, Iâve brought them with me today. Weâll hand them out right away.â
Simultaneously, an assistant emerged from the car with several massive boxes filled with heart-shaped chocolate sweets. They were handed out to the crowd by boxes.
The wedding sweets were exquisitely made. A photo of the newly-weds was attached to the box and the two of them looked happily in love.
Naturally, the atmosphere was filled with another wave of compliments and congratulations.
Later, the assistant approached Nell with two boxes of wedding sweets.
âThese are for you. I wish youâll also be equally blessed with the happiness of our Young Master and Young Lady,â the person said with a smile.
Enraged, Nancy clenched her fists, intending to throw a punch.
However, Nell stopped her bodyguard and accepted the wedding sweets with a polite grin.
âThanks.â
The assistant was startled, not expecting her to receive the sweets. Without commenting further, the former continued to hand out the sweets around.
A walk-on actress commented sourly at the sight. âSome people just like to stir up trouble by creating rumors. She who can only dream wildly shifted the blame to the victim instead. Tsk, how shameless! Itâs ridiculous!â
That woman was behaving rather peculiarly. Although the crowd naturally understood her meaning, no one dared to comment further.
Nell smirked as she threw a sideways glance at the woman.
âItâs no wonder someone that old is still an insignificant supporting role. It seems that the directors have good taste when it comes to casting.
Those who like to foment discord by flaunting their connections really cannot be trusted with greater responsibilities. Otherwise, one rotten apple spoils the barrel. Nancy, donât you think?â
The latter nodded and smiled. âExactly.â
That woman was infuriated. âNell, who do you call a rotten apple?â
âThe person who gets offended I suppose!â
âYou!â
She intended to retaliate but Nancy quickly stepped in front of Nell. The former was instantly frightened.
Everyone knew better than to offend Nellâs bodyguard.
In the end, the woman flung her arm to the side angrily and looked over her shoulder. âCeline, donât mind her. Sheâs just jealous of your happiness.
Let her be.â
An embarrassed expression took over Celineâs face.
âElder Sister Sheryl, sheâs just being forthright and outspoken but she means no harm. Donât say that about her.â
âCeline! Look at how arrogant she is. Why are you siding her!â
âOf course sheâll argue back when being mocked. Weâre blood sisters, after all, and sheâs not picking trouble with me, so why canât I side with her?â
â...â
Sheryl was at a loss for words.
Some of them from the crowd could not resist a chuckle.
âShe asked for it. Blood is always thicker than water. Who does she think she is to get into their mess!â
âExactly, this person is such a hypocrite.â
âNell is the lead actress after all and sheâs only but a walk-on actress. Director Coombs shows some respect by giving her slightly more screen time and sheâs really starting to be full of herself.â
Murmurs and sniggers became audible. That woman named Sherylâs face was suddenly flushed red with both anger and embarrassment.
Several moments later, she gave a snort of contempt. âWhatever, I donât have much to say if you canât tell good from the bad. Later.â
Only until then that she took to her heels.
Celine and Jason walked over to Nell, their arms linking.
âElder Sister, thanks for your blessings.â
Nell smiled faintly as she regarded the couple.
âYouâre too polite. Itâs just a deal, after all. Iâve gained 10% stock ownership of Jennings Corporation because of this.â
A sullen look washed over Jasonâs face.
Nell disregarded the man completely. Celine grabbed on to Jasonâs arm tightly as a faint smile spread across her face. âElder Sister, although youâre not bothered, Iâm still really grateful to you. If it wasnât for your assistance, Brother Jay and I will not be married this soon. Isnât that right, Brother Jay?â
Jasonâs face was dark. He, who normally appeared gentle and courteous, was currently bearing silent rage.
Finally, he exhaled deeply and replied in an indifferent tone, âYes, thank you.â
The corners of Nellâs lips quivered slightly.
Why was Jason staring at her like this?
Was he blaming her for making their marriage a success?!
Nell could not be bothered to think too much into it. So she glanced at the time quickly before saying in a cold manner. âAlright, itâs time for makeup.
You guys can keep going with distributing your wedding sweets. Bye.â
Then, she walked away casually along with Nancy.
The people surrounding them thought it was strange that the three of them could stand there and engage in a peaceful conversation.
Did they know the netizens were kicking up a big fuss over them?
Why did they seem so normal in each otherâs presence?
Naturally, the outsiders had no idea about the deal between Jennings and Nell.
How could Nell, who had been abused and shamed incessantly online, behave so ordinary without looking the slightest bit upset?
Strange!
How peculiar!
However, disregard of what the others think, Nell had been filling up her time by living a full life.
She rarely spent time on her phone or scrolling through social media. Although she did not mind the reproach, that did not mean she liked to welcome them with open arms.
On the other hand, Jason made it a routine to deliver a bouquet to the film set almost every day.
He and Celine could be considered newly-weds. The man did not show up every day but he never failed to remind Celine of his presence using small romantic gestures.
It made those unmarried young ladies among the production crew turn green with envy.
The internet was slowly overtaken by wire news about the couple.
From school uniform to wedding gown, five-year-long relationship, the most beautiful romance...
Nell was also getting more scolding as more of that news came up online.
In the beginning, Janet could not resist but leave some frustrated comments online to assist Nell.
Eventually, she even managed to invite criticism onto herself. Some people said that if Nell was a pretentious hypocrite, then her friend Janet must be corrupted as well!
Janet was so exasperated by the comments that she smashed the keyboard.
Her agent tried to talk her out of meddling into this affair but it was to no avail. The former was on the verge of tears upon seeing the broken keyboard.
