Chapter 374 Board of Directors
After hearing that, Nicole wasn’t surprised at all since that was what an ordinary person would think. However, she
was growing curious as to how those people had become the board of directors. Although the final signature on the
contract was hers, the contract was between Aimee International and Ann, which was under Gardner Corporation.
Even if they pushed her out to take the bullet, they wouldn’t be able to stay out of it too.

“Okay, I got it.” Nicole didn’t show any reaction after that.

When he noticed the calm expression on her face, Tony suddenly felt that President Gardner was overthinking
things. Based on how Nicole was behaving, it was obvious that she wasn’t worried about her current situation at all.
When they arrived at the conference room, Tony wanted to knock before entering, but he didn’t expect Nicole to
kick open the door and go in right away.
Inside the conference room, Colton was dressed in a dark brown suit, leaning on the chair while spinning a pen
between his slender fingers. When he heard the noise, he lifted his head and looked in Nicole’s direction.
The moment Nicole entered, the chaos in the conference room turned into pin-drop silence. Everyone’s actions
came to a halt as they turned to look at her.
Nicole raised her hand and greeted them politely, saying, “Hello everyone. I’m Nicole Anderson.” After saying that,
she noticed an empty seat beside Colton, so she went over and sat herself down without any hesitation.
As she took her seat, she glanced at the others in the room idly. She then said with a smile after noticing the silence
in the room, “Please continue. Don’t keep quiet just because I’m here.”
Before Nicole came in, the directors were arguing until they were blue in the face. Now that the subject matter had
arrived, they began to vent their rage on her.
“Even though you’re not part of the Gardner Corporation, you signed the contract on behalf of the company! Do
you know that we’ll be subjected to legal liability?!”
“That’s right! You should’ve paid more attention to this collaboration with Aimee International. We didn’t make a
fuss when negative stories about you came out, but things are getting out of hand now! You’ll need to bear the

consequences yourself!”
“You’re the reason for the subpoena from Aimee International, so you’ll need to work this out on your own!”
After hearing the directors’ words, Nicole felt that they were really ridiculous. With her arms crossed in front of her
chest, she glanced at them idly and rebuked, “Don’t talk so righteously. Do you guys think that you’re in the position
to make a fuss about what happened previously? I’m not even a part of the Gardner Corporation, you know.”
She shut the directors’ mouths with her words, and one of them wanted to curse at her upon being provoked.
“You… You…” In the end, he couldn’t think of any curses. His face was red as he said, “You’re really improvident! As
expected, women are all short-witted!”
When she heard the sexist remark from him, Nicole turned her head to the side and asked him with an ironic smile,
“Hmm? Are you really going into sexual discrimination now? Did a man give birth to you?”
The sharp-tongued Nicole had the upper hand, causing the director to start stuttering as he said, “Y-You’re just
being ridiculous!”
“Am I being ridiculous?” Nicole sniggered and laughed out loud, embarrassing him.
On the other hand, Colton hadn’t said a word since Nicole’s arrival. When he heard her laughter, he glanced at her
and was dazed by the grin on her exquisite face. As expected, she’s always so confident and beautiful.
“I’m just stating a fact. The things that happened previously were obviously an act of defamation, trying to tarnish
my reputation on purpose. I’d already explained myself too, so I don’t understand why you’re still using it against
me.”
The directors there probably didn’t expect her to be so well-grounded when she spoke, not giving them any reason
to refute her.
After being speechless with indignation for quite some time, one of them stood up and said, “Anyhow, this thing
happened because of you. Do you have anything else to say about this?”
