Chapter 253 Interrogation

Startled, Lydia opened her eyes wide as she raised her voice. “What did you say?! Nicole?”

 

 

“Exactly!” Queenie cried with her hands balled up into fists. If it wasn’t for Nicole, she would probably have just

woken up in Colton’s bed now.

“You are saying that Colton was drugged and taken away by Nicole?”

 

Lydia couldn’t believe her ears. It sent a chill throughout her body to imagine what consequences awaited them if

something were to happen between Nicole and Colton.

“Yes! I almost did it, but Nicole popped out of nowhere and forcibly took him away!”

That tenacious little b*tch! Why do I see her everywhere I go?! And she is always sabotaging my plans!

“Queenie, we can’t sit back and wait. President Gardner would never let you off the hook if he knew that you were

the one who drugged him,” Lydia muttered nervously.

Queenie naturally understood her mother’s point. That was why she didn’t tell the truth when she was questioned

by Colton.

 

“Mom, what is important now is that Colton was drugged and taken away by Nicole!”

Lydia gritted her teeth when she heard that, as she had thought of this as well. She then grumbled, “Let’s put this

matter aside for now. It is most crucial that you don’t admit that you were the one who drugged him!”

Queenie nodded wordlessly in response. She already knew that this was what she had to do.

“President Gardner can’t do anything to you so long as you don’t admit it,” Lydia comforted her.

It was finally Wendy’s birthday banquet the next day. Many guests had been invited to the grand celebration of her

18th birthday.

In order to prevent accidents, Anna went ahead and arranged for Todd to stay over at the Gardner Residence.

  

Just as Nicole stepped into the building when she returned to the company, she saw that Joanna was already

waiting for her at the door.

She had a foul expression on her face as she leaned against the door frame. Her eyes had instantly darted at

Nicole the second she noticed her.

Knowing what kind of thoughts were going through Joanna’s head, Nicole only raised her brows ever so slightly

before she headed to her office.

Just as Nicole expected, Joanna immediately followed after her into the room and even locked the door behind her.

Nicole threw a nonchalant glance at the door lock before a smile tugged on the corners of her lips. “What is this?”

she asked. “Trying to get rid of both the witness and evidence?”

Joanna was furious. She had suddenly received a call from Anna last night saying that Wendy would not be wearing

the dress she designed for her birthday banquet.

She didn’t even manage to ask why before Anna abruptly hung up on her.

After that, Joanna became sure that Nicole was the one who pulled the strings.

She had also stayed up the whole night thinking about this.

As Nicole looked at Joanna’s face, she could tell from the woman’s dark circles that she hadn’t slept well last night

despite having makeup on.

Smilingly, Nicole walked to her seat and sat down in her chair. She then propped her chin in her palm as she

languidly looked at Joanna. “Go ahead,” she began in a soft voice. “Tell me what made an important person like you

come all the way here, Director Schmidt. You even locked the door!”

Joanna squeezed her hands into fists as her eyes turned red from anger. “Mrs. Gardner said that Wendy will not be

wearing my dress to her banquet. Is it because of you?!” she questioned.

Ha! Nicole thought. Just as I guessed. She really came here for this.

Instead of answering her, Nicole continued speaking in an indifferent tone. “You wouldn’t be here asking me this if

you were confident in your design, Director Schmidt.”

Nicole’s calm response only further provoked Joanna. “Mrs. Gardner called and told me yesterday that she won’t be

needing my dress anymore. Who other than you would do something like this?!”

Joanna was on edge now. Unlike her usual dignified appearance, she was starting to act like a hellcat after her

emotional explosion.

Nicole snorted as her face lit up, and she asked in return, “Wendy’s birthday banquet is just a day away. Don’t you

think you should reflect on what your problem is for Mrs. Gardner to suddenly decide against your dress?”
