Unimaginable Consequences
Iris opened her mouth but could not retort.
She could only resign herself to her unfavorable situation.
Iris lowered her eyes and hid the resentment in her heart.
There was silence in the car.
Even the driver did not dare to breathe loudly.
Nicole looked out the window and did not say anything, but she saw all this clearly.
Lance found out about the problem in time, so he was not too stupid.
Yvette paused and quickly nodded.
“I was careless, Mr. Sheldon. It has nothing to do with others. The matter has already passed, and
nothing went wrong. Ms. Stanton sent me clothes, didn’t she?”
Yvette looked at Nicole and raised her eyebrows so that Nicole would say a few words to brush the
matter aside.
Lance wrinkled his brows and looked at Yvette with a stiff face.
Nicole did not let them down. She smiled and spoke in a lazy tone.
“Mr. Sheldon, the situation then was urgent. You should really look into it and find out what happened.
Putting aside how the attendant didn’t show up, even the hotel room’s landline was disconnected. That’s
just too coincidental. If Yvette didn’t find me in time, or if another man went over instead, the
consequences would be unimaginable.”
As soon as Nicole spoke, the temperature in the car instantly plummeted.
Iris’s expression immediately became unsightly.
“How could that be?!”
She blurted out.
S
Nicole’s gaze fell on Iris. It was completely devoid of the smile and familiarity Nicole had when she
looked at Yvette.
Iris felt her scalp tingle. She endured the strong pressure and spoke up to redeem her loss of composure
earlier.
“The owner of that resort is an old friend of Mr. Sheldon. How could anything happen to his employees?”
Iris forced a smile, but she could not keep it very natural at all.
Nicole would not bicker with Iris. After all, she was speaking to Lance.
Since Iris interrupted her, that meant she was guilty.
Lance naturally noticed it too.
He suddenly understood where this weird feeling came from.
Iris had always kept a low profile in the secretariat, but she turned out to be such a scheming person that
she even fooled Hans.
It was evident that Iris would be an uncertain variable if she continued to stay.
After some consideration, Lance made a decision.
No one spoke.
However, it was because no one was speaking that Iris completely panicked.
Her heart faltered, and she felt very uneasy.
She sat there on pins and needles. Beside her, Lance closed his eyes and stopped asking questions.
The two people in front also did not bring it up again.
Nicole looked out the window as if she did not care.
