Chapter 346

Nell's words caused Old Master Garrett to laugh happily.

"The Leith family's daughter-in-law has a good tongue, but you don't know your Second Uncle Garrett. If you knew, you will know that he only knows how to safeguard the assets, and can’t be expected to do anything else.”

The old man's words were obviously self-effacing and it could not be taken seriously. With that, a group of people also laughed along.

"You must be kidding me. If Second Uncle Garrett only knows how to safeguard the assets, then who have we been talking to?”

"That's right, the Garrett Corp’s achievements in recent years are evident. With Second Uncle Garrett around, you don’t have to worry”

The group of people was talking among themselves and although Joseph was not there, in the eyes of these people, he was already the leader of the family.

At this time, Jim, who was standing behind Old Master Garrett, sulked even harder.

Not that no one had noticed his reaction, but it was just that in this circle, the weak would be defeated by the strong all the time.

Over the years, everyone knew which of the two brothers Od Master Garrett preferred.

Moreover, since Joseph had taken over the company, not only had he turned the former loss-making Garrett Corp into profit-making, but the annual profit has been increasing rapidly as well.

That had become a very competitive matter for the Garrett Corp as they would like to focus on business in the future.

On the other hand, Jim, who was with the army when he was young and later retired from it after being injured had been working for the government.

Jim had contacts but did not have the ability to take the family to the next level, so dabbling in business was the only way to do that. However, Jim who had been involved in politics for a long time was not familiar with doing business.

Therefore, it seemed as if he had a lot less experience than his younger brother Joseph.

Everyone could foresee it. They knew that the two brothers did not get along, and with the Old Master’s health deteriorating so rapidly, they did not know when he would die.

However, when that time came, Joseph would be the heir.

Of course, there was another reason that everyone knew but did not say out loud.

It was the granddaughter who was highly valued by the Old Master and brought home by Joseph.

It seemed like it did not matter if the granddaughter was genuine because, in the eyes of the Old Master, she was real.

Since Joseph was the one who brought her back, she would definitely be on his side. If unfortunately, the Old Man does die by that time, it would be impossible for her to not get a piece of the heirloom.

By that time, if Joseph and her joined forces, Jim, who was isolated and helpless, would most likely not be their opponent.

There had always been a lot of conflicts among the wealthy family. Everyone knew full well what kind of situation it would be in the future, and what the consequences would be for the defeated party.

Therefore, no one would really sympathize with the weak unless the opponent was someone closely related to him. Otherwise, everyone would stand on the side of victory.

The lounge fell into a brief moment of courtesy exchanges.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and Celine walked in.

"Grandpa, you were looking for me?"

She smiled and as she approached him, Old Master Garrett immediately showed a smile and waved at her.

"Yes, come, come and meet your uncles and aunties.”

Celine stepped forward respectfully and said hello to each of them.

Harrison looked at her with satisfaction and smiled. "Celine’s demeanor is not inferior to the wealthy ladies in the capital. Some things are really in-

born.”

Old Master Garrett began to laugh out loud as those words had successfully pleased him.

At this moment, Nell suddenly felt that someone around her was pulling the corner of her skirt.

She tilted her head slightly and saw Lizzy looking at her nervously, with a strange expression on her face.

Nell's asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

Lizzy shook her head.

When she glanced at Celine, there was a trace of seriousness under her eyes.

However, she could only whisper, “Mummy, I want to go to the bathroom."

Taken aback, Nell frowned slightly.

Lowering her head, she whispered, “Didn't you just go? Are you not feeling well? Are you having a stomachache?”

Lizzy shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Nell felt that she might have eaten something cold at night and had a bad stomach.

So she gestured to Gideon and brought Lizzy outside.

The toilet was not far from the lounge. It was along the aisle of the front hall and the garden behind.

With that, Nell took Lizzy to the bathroom and asked her if she needed company only then did she let her in, while she waited outside.

In the garden behind the old residence of the Garrett family, apart from a fancy fountain, there was also a relatively large swimming pool.

One end of the swimming pool was connected to the back door of the restroom, usually for the convenience of changing clothes or washing up.

At that moment, there were many guests near the swimming pool.

Since it was spring and the weather was still cold, no one was swimming.

The people there were just chatting and drinking in twos and threes.

Nell waited for a while, but she was suspicious when Lizzy did not come out. Suddenly, she heard someone shout from the swimming pool area.

"Argh! Whose child fell into the water?"

Nell was stunned and when she finally could react, her expression changed drastically She immediately took off towards the pool.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered by the pool, but everyone was just watching anxiously and no one went into the water.

In the swimming pool, a girl in a pink skirt was struggling desperately. While thrashing around, she cried out a few vague words intermittently.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 345 Unless It Is Her Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 "Mom...my...s...save...me..."

Nell rushed to the pool, and at a glance, she immediately recognized the child in the pool as Lizzy.

Again, her expression changed, and without thinking, she jumped into the pool.

The swimming pool was not too big, and because it was relatively close, Nell had rescued Lizzy very quickly.

However, because of this, Lizzy still swallowed a lot of water. Since her health had not been that good, coupled with the panic, Lizzy had passed out by the time she was brought out of the water.

Nell looked at the child's pale face and red eyes. Her heart clenched as though a giant hand was holding her heart so tightly that she could not breathe.

She did not care about anything as she knelt on the ground and began to give the child CPR.

While doing it, she shouted, "Lizzy, be strong, wake up, open your eyes, and look at Mommy."

Nevertheless, Lizzy's face was still as pale as ever with her eyes shut and her little lips were blue without any sign of waking up.
