Something Fishy
Nicole kissed Chatty, picked up the phone, and asked again, “ Logan, what are you talking about?”
Logan said anxiously, “Zach Gilbert is dead. He jumped off the hotel building. The police investigation found that he
met you at Stanton Corporation before he died. This seems to be a little troublesome, President.”
Nicole woke up in an instant. Her eyes darkened.
“How could that happen...”
Someone as treacherous and greedy as Zach Gilbert could not possibly commit suicide.
Someone must have killed him!
However, was there a connection between Zach’s and Tina’s death?
Nicole’s mind was a mess. She always felt that there was someone behind her triggering this series of events.
It felt like that person was pushing everyone into the abyss.
Nicole was unconsciously forced into this situation.
Logan’s voice came through the phone. “President, the lawyers are ready, and we have already talked to the police.
But rumors of Zach Gilbert privately signing the contract with you have gone viral, causing a strong reaction from the
public that may be detrimental to Stanton Corporation.”
Nicole pursed her lips, reached out to touch Chatty’s little face, and smiled slightly.
“It’s okay. Get the public relations department to refute the rumor. It looks like someone has a motive to pin Tina’s
death and now Zach Gilbert’s death on me. I’m just a little curious who is targeting me?”
Logan said in a low voice, “I’m investigating it, but so far, there are no leads. We don’t know who bribed the keyboard
warriors. I ’ll contact the platform first to reduce online traffic.”
“Okay.”
Nicole hung up the phone and felt down for a while.
There were already two deaths.
Although Nicole did not feel anything about Zach’s death, she was still saddened about Tina’s death because she had
some relationship with Tina.
It was impossible for Nicole to be indifferent about it.
“Mommy, draw...”
Chatty smiled and nestled into Nicole’s arms.
Nicole smiled, carried Chatty down, and washed the girl’s face.
When Nicole felt that Chatty was about to resist, she immediately wiped Chatty’s face dry.
“Wow! Chatty, you’re so pretty!”
Chatty liked compliments C?_vK2WV immediately smiled shyly.
Nicole carried her out and saw that breakfast was served on the table.
Clayton rarely cooks. He glanced at Nicole and raised his eyebrows. 1
“You’re early?”
It was somewhat unexpected.
Nicole smiled. “Our little girl wants to become a painter, so we can’t delay her. Come, Mommy will get
the tools out for you.”
In order to cultivate Chatty’s hobbies, their home did not lack any equipment.
The piano was not touched, and the paint brushes were still in its wrapper.
However, it seemed to come in handy today.
Chatty solemnly picked up the paint brush and painted three bugs.
Clayton glanced at it and could not help but praise his daughter.
“I guess Chatty has an eye for nature. Look, this bug even has eyes. What a good observation!”
Chatty looked up at her father with a smile and pointed to one of the big bugs.
“Daddy!”
Clayton’s face darkened.
Chatty pointed to another big bug next to the previous one. “ Mommy!”
Finally, she pointed to a small bug. “Baby!”
Chatty was referring to herself.
Nicole could not hold back her laughter.
“I guess it’s abstract art?”
Clayton nodded with a sullen face. “Right. Let’s eat first!”
He was afraid that if he stayed longer to look in detail, he would not be in the mood to eat.
Chatty happily threw the paint brush down and started to drink milk.
Clayton gave her some complementary food on the side.
Nicole paused for a while and said, “Zach Gilbert is dead.”
Clayton froze and frowned. “The late Tina’s husband?”
Nicole nodded.
Clayton fell silent. “It doesn’t have anything to do with you, right?”
Nicole curled her lips aggrievedly, blinked her eyes, and nodded.
“Zach came to see me before he died, saying that he wanted to abide by the contract. After he went
back, he jumped off the building. Clayton, why am I so unlucky?”
Nicole could feel that she had unknowingly gotten into a lot of trouble, but this was not what she
wanted.
This time, someone around her died.
That kind of danger seemed to come out of nowhere, leaving her unprepared.
Nicole wanted to take precautions, but she did not know where to start.
Clayton pursed his lips silently.
Seeing that Nicole was about to cry, Clayton reached out and hugged her.
“It’s okay. I’m right here. This is just a coincidence. Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.”
Nicole did not take his consolation to heart. It was better than doing nothing.
She only had an emotional breakdown for a while.
After that, she still had to be strong.
Clayton lowered his head to kiss her face and coaxed her.
Chatty saw this and pointed at her own little cheek. “Kissy...”
Clayton covered Chatty’s face with his big hands, which blocked Chatty’s entire view.
Nicole and Clayton went out at 9:00 am.
Clayton did not let Nicole go to work alone and accompanied her to the office.
On the way there, Nicole could not help but take out her phone to check the news.
Indeed, her name was on the trending topics.
“Nicole Stanton suspected of murder...”
“Nicole Stanton suspected of embezzling property...”
