Chapter 338
Spoiled by the President
After all, Nell was aware of how much Janet had suffered for the past one year.
Previously, she had chided the man as well. She wondered about his identity and how irresponsible he was to neglect his child and left Janet on her own.
Nellâs expression darkened when she saw Liam.
Despite knowing that certain issues and conflicts were surrounding their entanglement, Nell still made a few hostile remarks.
Liam did not mind. He knew that Nell and Janet were close friends, so he did not take Nellâs remarks to heart.
After picking up Sunny, Liam took Janet home.
Nell was not too happy about Janet staying together with Liam, but ultimately, it was her friendâs personal issue and she did not want to interfere.
Fortunately, Janet had gotten her contract back. She was prepared to make a comeback in a few months. With Ulricâs help, the contract that was signed under the Hancocks could be void but Ethan was still mad, especially when he learned that his daughter got married without informing him earlier. He had even announced that whoever dared to sign her would be going against the Hancocks!
Most likely, Ethan wanted to ban her.
As a result, companies that were originally interested in her had second thoughts.
After all, despite Janetâs fame, she was known to have a rather indifferent personality and had her own opinions. Moreover, she refused to obey her companyâs plans for her, so people were not sure whether it was a good or bad idea to sign an artiste like her.
Secondly, Janet might have hidden the news of her childbirth overseas well, but some rumors about this matter still spread.
Everybody felt that it was unnecessary to offend Ethan because of a time-bomb like her.
Thus, Janetâs comeback had met an obstruction. When Nell learned of this, she signed her under Xinghui without a momentâs hesitation.
Gideon was fine with it. Nell was his wife and her friend was also his friend.
On the other hand, Janet felt depressed because of this.
Aside from Ethan, she also felt bad about her argument with her father.
However, unless there was a third option, nobody wanted this to happen.
Nell could not help her with this issue, so she could only let out a helpless sigh.
Today, she had invited Eric Freeman and another investor for dinner. Eric had a new film and wanted her to star in it, so he wanted to brief her on her role.
Nell and Eric knew each other very well. The investor knew Gideon, thus he was courteous to Nell.
The dinner went on smoothly and the discussion was fruitful.
Nell had promised Lizzy to watch a cartoon together, so she did not linger after the meal. She bade farewell to Eric and the investor, then left.
She got down to the parking lot and was about to enter her car when she overheard an argument from a corner.
Her car was parked less than ten meters away from the corner. As there was a cement pillar in the middle, the other party could not see her and neither could she see them.
Yet, the voices sounded familiar. Out of curiosity, Nell stopped in her tracks.
It sounded like a woman and a man arguing.
The woman cried, âWho the hell do you think you are?! I have nothing to do with you, even if Iâm pregnant! Youâd better take a hint and get lost! If we get photographed, I wonât let you off the hook!â
The man sounded pitiful as he spoke with a pleading tone.
âI know Iâm wrong, but canât you at least do it for the child and forgive me? You donât want the baby to be fatherless once heâs born, do you?â
âHmph! Birthing him? Justin Harker, youâre out of your mind! Since when did I say I want to give birth to him? And to think you want to be my childâs father? Who do you think you are? Youâre a pathetic fool who doesnât even know his own future. What gives you the right to be the father?!â
âStephanie! How could you say that?â
âIâm speaking the truth! Justin Harker, I donât like you at all. Wake up and smell the coffee! It was only an accident that night. Canât you let it go? Just treat as if nothing happened and donât bother me again!â
âStephanie, I know Iâm useless. My career is gone after showing some signs of growth, but my feelings for you are true. Trust me, Iâll work hard and prove myself to you. Iâll never let you suffer with me...â
âEnough!â
All of a sudden, Stephanie yelled. Justin had probably grabbed her arm. She shook it forcefully and took a step back, coming into view.
Nell saw her and immediately lowered her head and got into her car.
The carâs windows were tinted and dark. She could see what was going on outside, but not vice versa.
The car door emitted a light bang when it was shut. Stephanie was surprised and turned around to have a look. Annoyance was written all over her face.
Nell kept quiet, feigned ignorance, and started the car.
She reversed the car and drove away.
When she noticed the license plate number, Stephanieâs face turned to one of shock. Justin wanted to pull her arm to say something else, but she shoved him away again.
âJustin, Iâm warning you! Never say a word about what happened between us or Iâll kill you!â
âStephanie...â
âAlso! This child is just a byproduct of an accident. I wonât keep him and you arenât fit to be his father, so stop harping on this. We come from very different backgrounds and if you keep pestering me, thereâll be no positive outcome for both of us.
âIâll give you a sum of money if youâre willing to let me go, so you can leave this place and start a new life. Itâs your choice whether you want the money or remain unsuccessful! Give me a call once youâve made up your mind. Thatâs all.â
Stephanie said her piece and got into her car hurriedly. She slammed the door and sped out of the parking lot.
Justin stared at the car with bloodshot eyes and clenched fists.
Nell had not gone away for long before she was stopped by a red Ferrari.
A minute later, someone knocked on her window. She rolled it down and saw Stephanieâs pretty face.
âItâs really you?!â
Stephanieâs expression was a mixture of dismay and anger.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 There was nothing else Nell could do, so she waved her hand and greeted her, âHi! Miss Garrett, long time no see.â
In contrast to Nellâs cheerfulness, Stephanie was glum.
She glanced around, then lowered her voice. âMs. Jennings, would you let me come in and have a word with you?â
Nell returned a wan smile. âItâs ok, we donât have anything to talk about.â
Stephanie replied coldly, âMs. Jennings, I never harbored any ill will toward you. When you stole Brother Deon away, I wished both of you well, too.
Why push me away?â
