Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 356

“Today, I just want to jog her memory on behalf of Second Uncle. If she knows that she has made a mistake, she has to admit it and learn from it. If she doesn’t want to lower that noble head, it’s better not to make such a mistake again. This way, she’ll remember it well, wouldn’t you say?”

Joseph was momentarily speechless.

After carefully chewing over her words, he even felt that they were quite reasonable.

Thus, he did not say anything else.

Nell smiled cheerily at Celine.

“Now then, please start apologizing!”

Celine’s face went from red to white. All she wanted was to immediately rush and tear off Nell’s smiling and smug appearance.

She bit her lower lip and glanced at Old Master Garrett with a wronged expression.

However, Old Master Garrett’s face was livid and taut. He did not even look at her.

Celine’s heart hitched.

Then, she looked at Jim again, but he nodded lightly at her, so she knew there was no weaseling out of this now.

Although her heart was filled with reluctance and unwillingness, she stepped forward to Iris and said, “I’m sorry.”

Iris had been working in the Garrett household for two years and was usually the respectful one when serving these masters. When had she ever been apologized to by them?

With that, she immediately panicked and waved her hands.

“I-It’s okay.”

Celine clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, and walked towards another guest, repeating, “I’m sorry.”

The guest also hurriedly took a step back and said that it was alright.

After that, Celine walked to the next guest.

It was only after repeating this for over half an hour that she had finally apologized to all of the guests.

She swore that she had never given so many apologies in her life. Most people kept the Garrett and Graham families’ reputation in mind and did not dare to act bold or reveal any funny expressions.

However, there were still a few who could not help but smile.

To smile in an atmosphere like this, it clearly carried the mocking element of watching a joke.

Celine’s expression became even more embarrassed and it almost turned purplish-red.

On the other hand, Old Master Garrett could no longer bear to watch this scene and had his wheelchair pushed to the lounge.

After half an hour, this ‘apology meeting’ finally came to a successful conclusion.

On this note, the birthday banquet ended too.

The guests began to disperse naturally after watching the lively scene and having some fun.

Nell was very satisfied with the final result, so she went to give Old Master Garrett a greeting before she left.

Furious, Old Master Garrett did not even bother looking at her.

However, Nell did not mind. She smiled throughout the entire process before leaving with Lizzy.

On the other hand, Harrison Graham watched the entire scene. Although he did not say anything, he was already discontent with Celine.

It was true that he wanted to target the Leith family. Therefore, even if he knew about Celine’s past and what happened between Nell and her, as long as Celine was willing to marry into their family while bringing 15% of the Garretts’ shares, he was willing to let bygones be bygones.

However, that did not mean that he was willing to let his son marry a fool who would only cause trouble!

In Harrison’s view, it did not matter whether Celine harmed Lizzy or not.

What was important was that she was incapable of cleaning up the mess she had caused herself.

“Tell me. Why did you target that child?”

Celine was silent for a moment and did not reply.

She kept both hands in front of her and wrung one side of her skirt. With her head slightly lowered, she looked weak and frail under the light.

Old Master Garrett frowned and pushed the wheelchair around.

“You won’t tell grandpa the truth either?”

Celine knew that she could not hide from the Old Master. After all, the lies she had made up on the spot were not clever.

Most of the guests tonight did not believe what she said.

However, they did not expose her for the Garrett family’s sake.

At this point, facing Old Master Garrett’s stern gaze, she only whispered after a long while, “Because I want revenge.”

Old Master Garrett raised his eyebrows.

“Revenge?”

Celine suddenly burst into tears.

She cried so hard that her tears dropped down like large pearls from a broken necklace. She choked and said, “I’m sorry, grandpa. I didn’t want to do it. I must have been possessed earlier. I knew that the child was innocent, but I still wanted to kill her.”

Old Master Garrett grew slightly impatient.

“I’m asking if you wanted revenge.”

Celine sniffed before saying, “When I was with my ex-husband, I was pregnant once. The baby was about to take shape, but my sister harmed me and caused me to have a miscarriage. I’ve always held that grudge.

“After coming to the capital, I found myself alone, but she was able to enjoy family happiness with Lizzy, which made me think of that child I used to have. Under that hate, I wanted her to have a taste of what it was like, so I impulsively laid my hands on Lizzy.”
