Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 343

Tara's expression changed slightly, and her guilty conscience became more obvious.

At this point, despite feeling lost, Owen noticed that something was wrong.

He looked at Nell before he turned to look at Tara with deeply furrowed brows.

"Tara, what do you know? Don't be afraid. I’m here. Just say it if you want to."

As he spoke, he held her hand to give her some strength.

A complicated gaze flashed through Tara's eyes, but she did not speak.

Nevertheless, Nell was not nervous as she waited for her response quietly.

The chain of that necklace was relatively longer. So even when she wore it, the pendant was usually hidden beneath her clothes.

Furthermore, she rarely wore low necklines. If she had not recognized the necklace earlier, she would never have known that there was a ruby on the pendant.

Given how entangled Tara was now, there must be something hidden in it.

Now that the matter was exposed, she knew that if Tara wanted to blurt it out, she definitely would have said it. If she did not want to say it, no matter how urgent it was, it would be useless to force her.

Moreover, her relationship with Tara was not too shabby now, because as Owen and Gideon were good brothers, she and Tara also shared a somewhat similar connotation as their wives.

If Tara wanted to have a good future with Owen, she would definitely not do anything to harm Nell.

In fact, Nell was right.

After Tara struggled for a while, she decided to tell the truth.

Hesitantly, she looked at Nell and said, "Nelly, in fact, I… have seen the necklace you wore before."

Nell raised an eyebrow.

"Where did you see it?"

"I can't remember clearly. I was still very young back then. I think it was when I went back to the old house to play with my aunty, I saw it in her room but I don't remember the details clearly because it happened a long time ago."

Nell's face changed. "Who is your aunty?"

Owen explained, "The Garretts only have one daughter, and Tara's aunty is, of course, Juliette."

Nell was astonished.

Juliette? How could this be?

Seeing her shocked expression, Tara quickly added, "But I only remember it vaguely, and I find that the one you wore before is very similar to the one I saw when I was a child. As for whether it is really the same one, I'm actually not sure. Maybe I’m just overthinking."

Nell's face was gloomy and she did not speak.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Sylvia had told her a long time ago when she had taken this necklace back.

Sylvia had said, “Nell, one day you will regret it!”

Why did she say that?

What would she regret?

Nell dared not think about it. Like a seed buried in the soil, it suddenly burst out of the soil.

When Tara noticed that her expression did not look good, she could not help but feel bad for bringing up this topic.

At this moment, Lizzy, who had been sitting next to her with her eyes wide open stared blankly at the adults who were talking about things she did not understand while she sucked on her lollipop. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She shouted "Daddy" happily and ran towards the door.

"Alright."

Soon, Nell found an opportunity to speak to Tara alone.

However, Tara actually did not remember things clearly except for when she had only been a few years old because, at that time, her father was still close to the Garretts, so she often had the opportunity to come and play.

Sadly, her father was abandoned by the Garretts and they had fewer chances of going to the old house. As time passed, they would not go there if there was no special occasion.

In the past two years, as she gradually grew up and stood out among the younger generation, only then did more chances like that came her way.

Therefore, if her memory served her correctly, the only time she got to see that necklace was when she was just a few years old.

Once Nell listened to this, she did not seem too disappointed even though the specific time could not be confirmed

After all, it was only their speculation.

Since Juliette had passed away, whether that necklace had anything to do with her, it held no meaning anymore.

To her, it was just a relic, and a memory left to her by her mother.

After thinking about this, Nell did not struggle anymore. Upon finishing dinner, she followed everyone to the open-air garden behind.

The garden was built by the water with a large fancy fountain in the middle. Near the lawn, there were many small tables and bars as well as a variety of drinks and snacks. There was a professional band performing at the corner of the lawn, in which their music was clearly influenced by the west.

Since old madam had taken Lizzy away, Nell and Gideon were alone.

Joel, Liam, and the others were also invited. Although Nell still had a lot of opinions on Liam, she didn't say anything because it was Old Master Garrett's birthday banquet today.

A few people gathered together and chatted for a while. Soon, they saw a weak figure walking towards them from not far away.

"Young Master Leith, Young Master Foster, Young Master Jackman, Miss Hancock, elder sister, you are all here."
