Chapter 139 The Questioning
Over at the Anderson Residence in the afternoon, Queenie was looking at the trending topics on the computer.
Frowning, she found it to be a little strange. What the hell is Nicole doing?
She is obviously at fault, so how could she still calmly hold a press conference and appear so righteous?
Queenie felt faintly uneasy, somehow getting the feeling that Nicole had a plan.
“Queenie, I heard that there’s a bed-and-breakfast near the mountains in the outskirts of Goldwick. The
environment is pretty good. Let’s go on vacation together at the beginning of next month,” Lydia said as she walked
out from the room.
For the past few days, the Internet was full of negative news about Nicole. She felt refreshed after reading them
and even her mood had improved greatly.

“Mom, did you watch the press conference this morning?” Queenie looked up and asked.
“What press conference?” Lydia hadn’t been paying much attention to these things for the past few days.
“Nicole held a press conference in the morning to clarify the video released by Henry,” Queenie explained. For
some reason, she felt uneasy.”
Lydia wasn’t bothered at all. “So what if she clarified it? Whatever the case, she committed plagiarism. That b*tch,
Nicole, can’t escape no matter what!”
Her mother was right, but seeing how confident Nicole was on stage today, Queenie felt inexplicably flustered and
anxious.
Queenie lowered her gaze and thought for a while before shaking her head. She would be able to completely
destroy Nicole tomorrow, so why was she thinking about this now?
“All right, Mom. You’re right.” She nodded.
…
Nicole wanted to head home right after the press conference and merely wait for the next day’s trial. To her
surprise, when she went backstage, she saw her father—William!
She frowned and intended to ignore him.
However, as soon as she walked out, he called out, “Nicole!”
Nicole paused. There were many people around and she didn’t know what he was going to do.
She turned and looked coldly at the man in front of her. He had aged a lot compared to five years ago, but she
didn’t feel any pity for him at all and simply asked coldly, “Mr. Anderson, is there something wrong?”
“Nicole, I’m your father. Can you not talk to me in this tone?” a slightly dissatisfied William said.
As she asked rhetorically, she couldn’t help laughing. “Father? Have you ever played the role of a father?”
William was a little speechless, but seeing as they were in public, he could only calm himself down and reply, “I
have something to talk to you about. Let’s talk inside.”
Nicole did not refuse or agree to his request as she simply strode into the room.
He quickly followed her in.
Only the two of them were in the room. She sat on the sofa, took a bottle of water, and drank it.

After Nicole finished drinking the water, she screwed the cap back onto the bottle and uttered with a smile, “Mr.
Anderson, just say what you have to say. I don’t have time to sit and stare at you.”
William’s expression turned sour when he heard Nicole’s nasty tone, but his voice was still gentle. “What are you
planning to do about this incident?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows, not expecting him to care about her. Nicole chuckled self-deprecatingly. “What? Am I
affecting you?”
Looking at her, William said slowly, “You’re my daughter after all. It’s quite upsetting to hear about the news being
spread.”
“Daughter?” Nicole repeated the word and scoffed. “When did I become your daughter? Don’t paint yourself in
such a good light. You cut me off perfectly clean back then.”
William’s expression changed as he gripped his hands and spoke calmly.
“This ruckus is humiliating enough. What else do you want?”
It turned out that he came here today to question her.
