Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 375

Gideon realized that Nell had indeed been oblivious toward Gregory’s status and proceeded to explain, “Gregory Graham is Harrison Graham’s second son. He’s also Harrison’s illegitimate child. As Gregory isn’t accepted by the elders in the family, he spends most of his years growing up overseas and will only return here once every couple of years. It must be a huge coincidence that upon his return you just so happened to bump into him.”

Nell was taken aback by surprise.

She could only feel her mind hollowing out. It was only after a while before she could fully take in what Gideon had just revealed to her.

“You mean… He’s actually from the Graham family?”

Gideon frowned and answered, “Yes.”

Nell was gripping tightly onto her own fingers.

Gideon continued. “So, what did he tell you yesterday?”

Nell looked at him. Her lips moved a little but she did not say anything.

She did not know how to best explain her relationship with Gregory to Gideon. She did not want to recall her memories with Gregory, but she did not want to lie to Gideon either!

Nell struggled to utter the right words. Gideon had understood her too well. A glimpse at Nell was all it took to understand what her concerns were.

“Have you all known each other before?”

Nell hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head.

“Yes.”

“How do you know each other?”

Nell remained silent.

It was not that she refused to confess. She genuinely did not know how to describe their relationship.

Nell’s recollection of their encounter was so messy that even she could not remember everything. Yet, if she had admitted her inability to recall, it would only seem more suspicious.

Moreover, their past had contained an unspoken secret…

Nell remained silent. Gideon waited awhile for a response before his expressions returned to one of indifference.

“It’s alright, I respect your privacy. You can just tell me when you’ve decided to.”

He stood up and left. Although his demeanor was not aggressive and his expressions were still as gentle as usual, Nell could sense the subtle anger that resided within him.

After Gideon left, Nell made her way to the office as well.

Regarding the incident, Xinghui Culture had made a press release on her behalf stating that the incident was merely a harmless joke between Nell and a friend and that the incident had nothing to do with Nell cheating on her husband!

After all, Nell was a married woman. The issue with Gideon aside, if a rumor like this went uncontrolled, it would do no good to her reputation.

On the bright side, it seemed that the rumors were just Gregory’s threat to her. He did not intend to blow this out of proportion. Once Xinghui Culture had explained the situation, Gregory’s secondary account had also made a similar statement, encouraging the public to not take the incident seriously.

Unsurprisingly, his secondary account did not have many followers.

However, the popularity of the news had caused his post to be shared virally across social media.

With that, the rumor had soon died down.

After the incident, Nell made a phone call to Gregory and started cursing wildly at him.

Gregory was not mad at all. He had even laughed and joined in to hurl insults at himself.

It had made Nell regain her composure.

At last, Gregory said calmly, “Do you still remember what I’ve taught you many years ago? There’s always a price to pay for disobedience. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to risk losing everything you’ve got now, do you?”

Nell massaged her forehead and grinded her teeth. She asked, “What the hell do you want from me?”

Gregory merely let out lighthearted laughter and said, “With a tone like that, how am I going to be able to tell you the truth?”

Nell suppressed her raging anger, lowered her voice, and said, “Fine. So tell me, what do you want?”

“Sister Leila.”

“Sister Leila, you’re here.”

Everyone in the room stood up to greet the lady with respect. She was the drama’s female lead, a three-time award-winning actress who had been praised by many reputable directors, Leila Frost.

Leila was a young actress who was only in her early twenties. However, she was smart and talented. It took merely three movies before she had become a three-time award-winning actress. Her screen presence was remarkable and she was a widely celebrated superstar within the industry.

Although the genre of this majorly produced drama was to be a costume drama, it boasted excellent scriptwriting and the director was someone closely associated with Leila.

Hence, Leila had ventured out of her usual blockbuster movies and agreed to be cast into this movie.

Naturally, she would then become the most influential member of the crew. Everyone was expected to please her and to refrain from offending her at all costs.

The makeup artist in charge went over to Leila, put on a polite smile, and asked, “Are you shooting the injury scene today?”

Leila nodded slightly and answered, “Yep.”

At that moment, someone mustered her courage and spoke to Leila, “Sister Leila, Lucy has brought us all presents today when she returned. You have one too. The pink one on the table is yours.”

Leila glanced at the gift box, took it over, and found an Eiffel Tower decor in it.

Leila laughed lightly before putting it back in its place. She did not make any remarks about her gift, but she seemed to be frowning in disdain.

Then, another lady walked in.

The lady’s name was Suzy, the third female lead of the drama. She came from an affluent family but her acting skills were horrible. Suzy had only gotten the role because she had agreed to invest in the production.

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Suzy generally behaved rudely and arrogantly. However, she had still greeted Leila with respect when they met.

When Suzy heard that there were presents for everyone, she looked to the gift box on the table and fleered.

“Yo, who gave these presents?”
