Chpater 142Chapter 142 Place Righteousness Before Family
Because of this, Anna finally stopped treating Queenie coldly.
Queenie talked to the two of them for a long time. While they were chatting, they suddenly discussed
the trial that was to be held the next day.
A trace of misery immediately appeared on Queenie’s face, and her tone became gloomy. “I didn’t
expect my sister to do such a thing. At first, I thought…”
Queenie bit her lip. As if she had made up her mind, she said firmly, “If my sister really plagiarized, I will
never speak for her!”
When Anna saw her being so righteous, her tone softened a little.
“Initially, I thought that as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, she wouldn’t do such a despicable thing.
Hmph. If it hadn’t been for Wendy giving her some time, she would’ve been in jail long ago!”
On the side, Queenie nodded vigorously.
Anna inhaled and continued, “But, she brought this onto herself. The creator of the design has already
sued her, and tomorrow is her final deadline!”
As a designer, Anna hated plagiarists the most, and Nicole was exactly that.
Naturally, Queenie knew that, which was why she had arranged such a huge scene.
Queenie wouldn’t have the opportunity to do such things if Nicole was innocent. Nicole sought trouble
and plagiarized, so she deserved it!“If my sister really plagiarized, I’ll make amends to Wendy on behalf of my sister,” Queenie promised
sincerely.
Looking at the person in front of her, Anna let out a soft sigh. The reason she previously opposed
Queenie being by her son’s side was because she felt that this woman was only attracted to the
Gardner Family’s wealth.
Later on, because of the incident with the Anderson Family, she didn’t see them in a good light, but
when she saw how sincere Queenie was with her gaze lowered, Anna found her to be okay, thinking
that she could at least distinguish between right and wrong.
“Forget it. It’s not your fault. It’s all her fault!” Anna said.
Queenie was secretly happy, and now that she saw how Anna was behaving, it seemed that she
wouldn’t help Nicole.
She figured Colton must more or less side with Anna. As long as Colton didn’t make a move, Nicole
would truly be doomed this time!
…
Early the next morning, Nicole went out with Whitney. They were about to go to court when they saw a
black MPV parked at the entrance as soon as they opened the door.
She looked at it strangely, remembering that her car wasn’t that big.
When the people in the MPV saw them, the door opened, and Colton was sitting inside. Today, he was
dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his slender legs looked a little too long to fit in the car.
“President Gardner,” Nicole smiled and greeted him.novelbin“Get in. We’ll talk along the way,” Colton said slowly, his voice muffled.
Nicole didn’t refuse as she went into the car with Whitney. After closing the door, she asked, “President
Gardner, why are you at my house?”
“Fortunately, you live in a high-class neighborhood. Otherwise, your house would be full of reporters
now,” Colton said slowly as he looked sideways at Nicole.
Today, Nicole was a little different than usual. Her makeup was a lot more refined, and it made her look
more exquisite and beautiful.
Sitting in the back seat, Whiteny saw Colton staring at Nicole, then she snorted and said, “The makeup
I put on for Nicole looks good, right?”
Colton nodded and praised without hesitation, “It looks good.”
“By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is Whitney Campbell, my assistant at F&M.” Nicole
introduced her as an afterthought.
“Oh, hello, Miss Campbell,” Colton greeted in a gentlemanly manner.
Whitney was courteous toward him as she nodded and said hello back.
The MPV exited from the side entrance and went around, passing through the gate. Out of habit, Nicole
looked out and found that there was truly a crowd outside her neighborhood. If it weren’t for the security
guards, they would probably have a hard time getting out today.
“There are so many people,” Nicole muttered in a low voice.
Colton nodded. “Yes. You are going to trial today; they’re all waiting to see you make a joke of yourself
and write some major headlines.”Although he was right, why did it sound a little mean coming from his mouth?
