Chapter 970

Jean froze for a moment. She then carefully looked at Nell’s facial expression and realized that something was off. Thus, she understood that something had happened.

As such, she waved her hand so that the staff would leave.

Then, she smiled at Nell and asked, “Nelly, what’s wrong?”

Nell took out the jade pendant from her bag and looked at Jean with a solemn expression. “Aunty, where did you get this jade pendant?”

Jean was shocked when she saw the jade pendant. She felt a little guilty too.

She tried to avoid Nell’s gaze. “The jade pendant...where else could I have gotten it? I bought it at the jewelry counter, of course. However, I gave the pendant to Lizzy. Why is it in your hands?”

As she said that, she attempted to snatch the jade pendant. However, Nell swiftly dodged.

Nell did not want to beat around the bush. She went straight to the point.

“Which jewelry counter? Take me there.”

After Jean heard Nell’s request, she gave a black look.

She stared at Nell angrily.

“So what? What is the meaning of this? Are you questioning me right now? Since when did it concern you where I got this jade pendant?

Furthermore, I gave this pendant to Lizzy, not you. You might be her mother, but you can’t take her stuff whenever you want. I am telling you that this is a bad habit.”

Nell bit her lips and looked at Jean. She refrained from saying anything.

Jean then continued. “Eh, I don’t mean to blame you, but I thought that something serious had happened when you rushed over here. Who knew that it was all for a jade pendant? If you like jade pendants, then go and buy one for yourself. Why are you asking me? I am not responsible for finding information for you.”

After Jean had finished complaining, Nell opened her mouth. “This belongs to my mother.”

Jean’s heart skipped a beat.

She turned around and looked at Nell in disbelief.

Nell repeated her words just in case Jean did not listen to her for the first time.

“This belongs to my mother. The word engraved on the pendant is exclusive to my mother, so it must belong to her. Aunty, can you tell me where you got this jade pendant? Even if you bought it, can you tell me where you bought it?”

Jean had finally regained her senses after listening to Nell’s words. Her facial expression changed as she thought that Nell’s statement was a little hilarious.

“Didn’t your mother pass away many years ago? How could this be your mother’s...”

She felt guiltier as she continued speaking.

Her face had also suddenly darkened after thinking about who knows what.

Nell kept on staring at Jean without saying a single word.

After a while, Jean could not endure Nell’s gaze anymore. She waved her hand and said impatiently, “Okay, I will tell you. I didn’t buy this jade pendant. Instead, I picked it up.”

Nell frowned. “You picked it up? Where?”

Jean puckered her lips in displease. “I picked it up at a stone gambling site. I didn’t know that the jade pendant that I picked up belonged to your mother. If anything, I am the unlucky one over here.”

She rolled her eyes as she said that.

However, Nell was keen enough to catch the main point of Jean’s sentence.

“Stone gambling site? Which stone gambling site?”

“It’s...”

Jean stopped before she finished her sentence. Her eyes lightened up as she thought of something.

She rubbed her hands in excitement. “Nelly, let’s discuss for a while.”

Nell kept the jade pendant with a straight face. “Speak.”

“Didn’t I tell you about how I was going to invest in a jade mine? I actually picked up this jade pendant at a stone gambling site. Coincidentally, I have plans to work together with the organizer of the stone gambling event, who is the boss of a mining company. How about this? You will accompany me to the stone gambling site as I will need to discuss some details regarding the contract with the boss. At the same time, you can take a look at the place where I picked up the jade pendant. What do you think?”

Nell had finally understood Jean’s intentions. Jean was afraid that Nell might not agree to lend money to her. As such, she took this opportunity to make a deal.

Nell laughed as she had already explained the situation to Gideon. Both of them were willing to support Jean.

As such, she did not reject Jean's request. “Okay, but I have a condition.”

Jean was shocked. “What condition?”

“I can accompany you to see the boss, but you must promise me this. If you think that these minerals are worth investing in after close inspection, then Gideon and I will be the investors. We didn’t lend you any money, understand? Of course, you can invest by using your own money. Even if we are related by blood, we need to settle our financial matters clearly. Okay?”

Jean was stunned. She did not expect that Nell would say anything like that.

Her facial expression changed as anger started to overflow.

“Nell Jennings! How could you do this? Are you that desperate for money? Don’t tell me that Gideon is that desperate as well? How could you do this to your own aunt? Are you saying that you won’t help me with such a small matter?”

Nell stood up.

“I don’t know whether it should be classified as a small matter, but, Aunty, you should know that one and a half billion is no small amount. Are you sure that you can handle such a large sum of money, especially when you are the sole investor?”

Jean’s facial expression had changed once more. She had admitted defeat at last.

“Then, can you lend me a hundred million dollars? I will invest five hundred million dollars while the two of you can invest one billion dollars.”

Nell said without hesitation, “Okay, deal!”

After she said that, she looked at the time on her watch.

“When are you going to be done with your facial?”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 969 By Accident Jean took off her face mask angrily.

“You just ruined my good mood. Why should I continue doing my facial? I will take you to see Mr. Donnelly, alright?”

Nell grinned. “Thank you for your trouble, Aunty.”

After Jean had changed her clothes and packed her stuff, the two of them went outside.

The staff, who were waiting outside, were shocked when they saw Jean and Nell coming out.

“Miss Leith, are you leaving? Were you unsatisfied with our service?”

Jean rolled her eyes.

“I am not unsatisfied. I simply have other things to attend to. Alright, I will apply for the membership card when I come next time.”

As she said that, she walked outside with Nell.

After they got in the car, Jean told Nell the address. Then, Nell drove Jean to the stone gambling site.

Meanwhile, the stone gambling event was ongoing in the venue.

Cathy and Sean had returned to the manor after discussing with Mr. Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly had to keep a close eye on his business. As such, he could not leave the venue.

At that moment, someone had acquired a piece of fine jade. As such, everyone was circling around the lapidary slab saw.

Mr. Donnelly was a smart person. Even if he was looking at the lapidary slab saw, he could pay attention to the doorway.

If there was an important client, then he could be the first person to walk up to them.

At that moment, a familiar silhouette had entered his vicinity.

He was stunned. Right after that, he smiled.
