Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 24

“Gideon Leith, from Leith Corporation, has arrived!”

The noisy crowd gave way spontaneously, turning to look in surprise. At the end of the crowd, a slender figure gradually came to view.

Nell shook as her eyes widened.

The man seemed to sweep in with the wind. His pace was fast, yet it did not appear hurried. His eyebrows were sharp and his piercing black eyes were like the finest black jade, glowing with cold light. His entire body emitted a cold and stern aura that dissuaded others from approaching him.

Behind him was Matthew Starks. A few bodyguards dressed in black lingered at the door and did not enter.

Matthew handed the congratulatory gift in his hands to the reception before following Gideon inside.

“Gideon Leith! It’s really him! What is he doing here?”

Someone among the guests murmured in a low voice, rousing the others back to their senses. Everyone was shocked.

Most of the guests here today were people with status in society, so even if they had not seen Gideon Leith in person before, they had at least seen him in magazines and on TV.

Therefore, almost everyone recognized this man in front of them.

He was the heir to the Leith magnate’s fortune! The true controller of Leith Corporation!

He was also the founder of the entertainment empire known as Anning International!

Why was he here?

Sylvia was the first to react. She immediately beamed and rushed forward to welcome him.

“Welcome, President Leith! Please, come this way!”

Shaun and Sally also hurriedly followed, their faces piled with smiles.

“We didn’t know that President Leith would come. I’m so sorry for our negligence!”

The Jennings had sent Gideon an invitation, but it had just been a formality.

Everyone knew that although Gideon Leith stayed at Jincheng, he did not attend any social parties nor did he answer to anyone’s invitations.

Countless people had already flung themselves at this wall before, and the Jennings naturally did not think that they would be an exception.

Unexpectedly, he actually came today!

Sylvia and the others were overjoyed. Nell was also extremely agitated.

‘Gideon Leith, save me!’

She opened her mouth and shouted soundlessly.

Isaac noticed her expression and sneered.

“You want him to help you? Stop dreaming! Just who do you think you are? Nevermind being a Jennings, even the Morton family can’t reach a person like Gideon Leith. Do you even know what the outside world is saying about him?”

Isaac continued with a cold smirk. “Everyone says that he’s gay and that he hates women. The last woman who was delusional and tried climbing into his bed was thrown into River Li, so you can stop your wishful thinking!”

Then, he held onto Nell and walked towards the elevator.

Nell instantly grew anxious.

She lowered her head and opened her mouth to bite the back of his hand.

Although she was drugged and weak, she still had a bit of strength left.

Furthermore, hope was being dangled right in front of her eyes. How could she not struggle desperately?

Isaac did not expect that she would still dare to resist at this point.

His hand was bitten when he let his guard down, and he loosened his grip on her with a scream. The woman in his hands immediately ran away.

“Hiss— You b*tch! How dare you bite me? Stop right there!”

A furious roar sounded, but before anyone could react, a figure flashed past their eyes and rushed straight towards the man standing at the entrance of the hall.

Gideon had already strode forward and grabbed Nell before she collapsed to the ground.

With a hook of his long arms, the delicate figure fell into his embrace.

Everyone was shocked.

Heavens! Who was that?

Huh? Was that Nell Jennings? H-h-how… How dare she touch Gideon Leith?!

Everyone knew that Gideon Leith absolutely hated women!

He had been on the market for so many years, but no one had ever heard of him getting along with a woman. There was a time where people sent a number of stunning ladies to his bed in order to please him, but in the end, not only were they returned untouched, they even ended up losing their business!

Gideon lifted the corners of his lips coldly and looked directly at Sylvia. “Mrs. Jennings, who’s girlfriend did you say she was earlier?”

Sylvia was startled. Her heart subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but she did not manage to react to it.

She could only answer instinctively. “S-She’s Young Master Collin’s girlfriend. This is him. He’s the second young master of Shengda Corporation…”

“Ha!”

A cold snort interrupted her introduction.

Gideon’s voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him. His deep and inky pupils were even more frigid and harsh, and he enunciated clearly, “I wonder just when my wife became the girlfriend of this scum.”

All the guests. “...”

Sylvia Walker. “...”

Isaac Collins. “...”

What did he just say?

Their ears seemed to be blocked. They did not hear him clearly!

Nell Jennings was Gideon Leith’s wife?

How was that possible?!!!

Everyone around was completely shocked. Even when Sylvia started to speak again, none of them had come back to their senses yet.

“Young Master Leith, could you be mistaken? S-She’s just an ordinary little girl. How could she have connections with you?”

Gideon sneered.

“Ordinary? Why don’t I think so? My wife has always been as radiant as a pearl, but I guess there are blind people who can’t see it!”

Sylvia Walker. “...”

Seeing that the situation was amiss, Isaac looked around and tried to slip away while everyone was not paying attention.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by Matthew Starks.

When he looked up, he saw the smiling face of the elite secretary. “Young Master Collins, where are you going? Are you throwing away your girlfriend?”
