Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 352

“Second Miss, save me! I was framed! Second Miss, please help me.”

In her anxiousness, Iris rushed towards Celine, trying to ask for her help.

However, she was dragged back before she could jump to Celine.

Celine’s face revealed an expression of embarrassment and impatience at the situation.

“Grandfather, maybe Iris was just momentarily possessed, or…”

“Don’t speak up for her!”

Old Master Garrett interrupted her and bellowed, “Someone who is able to do such a cruel thing to a six-year-old deserves death. The Garretts will never harbor such a sinner!”

When Iris heard this, she began to cry in despair.

Celine sighed.

She soothed Iris softly, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you either. You’re… on your own now.”

Then, she turned her head to the side as she could no longer bear it anymore.

Someone in the crowd mocked, “What’s the point of keeping a woman like her who has the heart of a snake? To plead for scum like her, the Second Miss really is just too kind.”

“Yeah, to have the heart to do something like that to a child, and the precious treasure of the Leith family at that, she must be trying to destroy the friendship between the Garretts and the Leiths. How terrifying.”

“This maid’s identity isn’t simple. To be able to do something like this, there might be someone behind her.”

“That’s horrible! How did she end up like this?”

“Thankfully, she was rooted out. Otherwise, she would still be mingling around us. Just thinking about it gives me the shivers.”

“For Second Miss to be so sympathetic to a scum like that, she has such a good heart.”

Celine’s lips curled imperceptibly as she listened to the discussion around her.

Outside the crowd, Stephanie clenched her fists tightly at the sight of this scene. She wanted to rush out immediately.

However, a small figure suddenly ran to Iris faster than she could move.

Shocked, Old Madam Quinton cried, “Lizzy, what are you doing?”

Lizzy ran to Iris, stopping the two security guards who were dragging her away, and grabbed Iris’s hand before placing it on her shoulder.

Everyone was stunned and confused. Even Iris was momentarily shocked by her actions and had forgotten how to react.

Only Celine, who had been standing in the crowd, frowned.

Lizzy let go of Iris’s hand and turned around to face Old Master Garrett.

“Grandpa Garrett, this lady wasn’t the one who pushed me.”

The audience was in an uproar.

Old Master Garrett frowned slightly and his next words sounded displeased.

“Lizzy, do you know what you’re saying?”

Lizzy’s expression was very serious as she enunciated, “I know. I’m saying that she’s not the culprit who pushed me into the pool.”

At this, everyone finally reacted.

“I-It wasn’t her?”

“Haven’t they found the evidence? Not only does she not have an alibi, but there’s even material evidence. Who could it be if not her?”

“That’s right. Besides, Miss Lizzy didn’t see the culprit, and the surveillance camera didn’t catch anything. How can she be so sure that Iris wasn’t the one who pushed her?”

Everyone started to discuss it among themselves again.

“I’m willing to believe you, but… Miss Lizzy is only a six-year-old child after all, and she might be mistaken in what she felt. How can you prove that you weren’t the culprit?”

Iris froze.

She had never thought that Celine would say something like that.

A great sense of despair and panic swept over her. She shook her head, crying. “I-I don’t know.”

Celine sighed helplessly again.

The scene was like a prisoner who refused to admit his crime, yet unable to argue his case when confronted with a good-hearted and kind person.

At that moment, Nell suddenly spoke.

“In fact, It’s not that hard to find the real culprit.”

Everyone looked at her with shock.

Not knowing when, but Nell was now holding the toy butterfly in her hand.

The pink butterfly turned gently in her slender and beautiful fingertips as if it were alive. Looking at it like this, one could imagine how Lizzy had thought it was a real butterfly in the dim light and chased it outside.

Old Master Garrett frowned and reigned in his temper. “What do you mean?”

Nell looked up and smiled. “Just as Lizzy said, Miss Iris really wasn’t the one who pushed her into the water. The evidence lies in this toy butterfly.”

Everyone was shocked.

They did not understand what Nell was saying at all.

Besides them, even Old Master Leith and Old Madam Quinton were dumbfounded as they looked at Nell in confusion.

Only Gideon’s eyes darkened with a flash of clarity when he looked at the toy butterfly.
