Chapter 28

There was no backing down for Sylvia now.

On one hand was Gideon Leith, whom she did not dare to offend, and on the other hand was Isaac Collins, who had just turned against them.

In any case, she was in the wrong.

She would never dare to offend Gideon Leith, so she had to sacrifice Isaac instead.

As long as she successfully insisted on Isaac and Nell’s relationship, everything she did today would be justified.

Not only that, Nell would be blamed for cheating as well.

Who was Gideon Leith? Would he allow his own woman to display disloyalty to him?

At that time, not only would Nell be unable to clear her name, her position in Gideon’s heart would also be shaken. It would not be too late to teach her a lesson then!

Thinking about this, the look in Sylvia’s eyes became a little colder.

However, in the next second, she heard Isaac’s urgent explanation. “President Leith, she’s lying! I’ve never even met Ms. Jennings before, so how could we be related? If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it!”

“Isaac Collins, how dare you act like such a coward now! Do you remember how you got on your knees and begged me to agree to you being together with Nell? How can you say such a thing now? Are you still a man?”

Isaac was so angry he wanted to explode. His fingertips trembled when he pointed at Sylvia.

“You sh*tty old hag. Now that things have come to this point, are you slandering me now for fear of being guilty? It’s fine if you slander me, but you’re also slandering Ms. Jennings! Do you think President Leith is stupid? Do you think he’ll be fooled by you so easily?”

Sylvia sneered.

“You still want to argue? Alright! You claim that I bribed you, but where’s the evidence? I haven’t even pursued the case of you drugging Nell! Now you’re blaming me instead?”

Isaac paled.

He was indeed the one who had spiked that glass of wine.

However, that was only because he was listening to Sylvia’s orders and acting according to the plan.

Now she wanted to brush the entire matter off her hands and pin everything on his head?

Isaac almost went mad with anger, but he could not say a single word. He only glared viciously at Sylvia.

They had always met up face-to-face to discuss this matter, so Sylvia knew that he could not come up with any evidence. She let out a proud snort at his expression.

Nell watched their interaction and suddenly thought of a word.

—Dogfight.

Was that not so?

Previously, they were on the same boat, but now that she got frightened by Gideon Leith, she immediately turned her back against him.

How unfortunate—

Nell smiled and heard the lazy and cold voice of the man beside her.

“I only want to hear the truth, but here you are arguing... Do you think I’m very free?”

The man dug a finger in his ear as impatience flashed on his face.

Sylvia and Isaac both turned pale with fright.

The former quickly piled on a smile and explained. “President Leith, well... I really didn’t know about your relationship with Nell. That child is truly hopeless. Since you already hooked up with someone like President Leith, you should have told your family clearly! It’s indeed our mistake that things have gotten to this point, but seeing that we’re in-laws, please don’t be angry.”

Gideon looked up and revealed a smile that did not seem like a smile.

“In-laws?”

Sylvia smiled a little awkwardly but continued to hold on.

If she thought about it, since Gideon and Nell were husband and wife, then as Nell’s grandmother, she was naturally Gideon’s grandmother as well.

Did that not make them in-laws?

This was why Sylvia dared to sit and talk until now.

After all, she was an elder. Even if Gideon was angry or dissatisfied, for the sake of the future, he would not go too far.

However, if he really believed her words and became suspicious of Nell, that would be even better.

Besides, she never expected that damn girl Nell to bring back any benefits from the Leith family either. Even if she did, with the relationship the Jennings had with Nell, she would not be of use to them at all.

Therefore, it was better to let Nell lose this big backer!

Sylvia thought this in her heart when she suddenly heard Gideon’s voice.

“Since you’re not willing to tell me the truth, then I’ll just have to treat you all equally and deal with you together!”

Sylvia jumped slightly and looked up, and saw Gideon say something to Matthew.

Matthew immediately went out and came back shortly after with a large stack of documents.

“President Leith, these are all the properties under the Jennings and Young Master Collins’s names.”

Gideon took the documents and flipped through them.

The people present were all confused as to what he was doing.

Then, he suddenly pulled out one of them and lit it with a lighter before slowly lowering it onto the ashtray in front of him.

It was a piece of real estate under Isaac Collins’s name which was given to him by his father.

Isaac paled when he saw this and he asked hurriedly. “President Leith, w-what are you doing?”

Gideon said slowly, “Since you’re not willing to talk, I naturally have to think of a way to pry your mouths open! These properties are all yours. I’ll burn one every three minutes, but I’ll return them to whoever decides to speak first. What do you think about that?”

He still has the nerve to ask what they thought?

Ptui! That was too shameless!

The people were furious but did not dare to speak. Sylvia also realized that her thoughts had been all wrong. Gideon Leith did not care about her at all.

Her expression became cold as she said in a low voice, “President Leith, putting aside everything else, these real estates are all registered. Do you think simply burning the paper documents will do anything?”

Gideon looked at her with a smile. “Oh, you’re right. Thank you for reminding me. Matthew!”

Matthew immediately stepped forward. “Sir.”

“This is an order. Every time I burn one document, forcefully acquire a company under their name. If you can’t buy them, then suppress them until they declare bankruptcy. I don’t want stocks or funds. Tell Old K to make arrangements for those that are making profits. I believe that before dawn breaks, they will all turn into losses immediately.”

Matthew smiled and nodded. “Understood.”

Then, he turned and left.

The Jennings and Isaac immediately panicked at this.

“President Leith, you can’t do this!”

“These are the fruits of decades of our hard work. You can’t just destroy them!”

Sylvia only wanted to bite off her tongue at this point.

Why did she decide to be talkative back then?

If she had not said anything, he would have just burned the documents and they would still be able to refill them later. However, now they really had nothing left!

Gideon looked at them with a cold expression, not wavering in the slightest.

“I’m giving you one last chance to. Speak! Or not.”

Isaac immediately nodded. “I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”

Sylvia snapped harshly. “Isaac Collins, think carefully!”

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Isaac could not be bothered with her at this point and yelled at her. “That’s enough from you! Your Jennings family has a big business and can afford to be tossed around, but I’m different! I only have one f*cking property under my name. If it’s gone, my dad will be the first one to kill me!”

Sylvia turned blue with anger.
