Chapter 124 Conspiracy
Plagiarism scandal, hooking up with men for money, and pregnancy out of wedlock…
Initially, the talk was just circulating around the plagiarism scandal. However, due to Nicole’s rising popularity, her boundless dark past was dug up and exposed.
At first, Nicole wanted to solve the matter step by step. She did not expect Queenie to go this extreme this time. Not only does she want to destroy my career, but she even wants to ruin my entire life!
Meanwhile, in the Anderson Residence, Lydia was holding a bowl of lobster bisque in her hand. With a smile on her face, she walked forward in small steps.
“Queenie… I’m sure that b*tch, Nicole, will definitely have a hard time emancipating herself this time!” Lydia put the bowl of lobster bisque in front of Queenie as she spoke.
With a complacent look on her face, Queenie squinted her eyes and smirked. Then, she snorted coldly. “She has no one to blame but herself. Nicole didn’t know her place and tried to snatch my rightful possession away! In her dreams!”
Although the scandal had turned into a massive deal, Lydia was still a little worried. “After all, Nicole is now the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel. Do you think they will curb this scandal for her sake?”
They finally had the opportunity to knock Nicole down, so she definitely would not want Nicole to emancipate herself from this scandal. Not to mention, due to Nicole’s status as a Chief Designer, William had long been thinking of accepting her back into the Anderson Family. If it was not for Lydia constantly advising him against it, Nicole would probably have moved in by now!
Just then, Queenie’s eyes sparkled with a trace of malignancy, and she sneered with her lips curled upward, “Mom, I won’t give them the chance!”
Now that I have started this, I must ensure the mud sticks firmly. Nicole must not be given a chance to emancipate herself. I want to keep her completely under my feet!
Upon hearing that, Lydia leaned over and asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”
With her lips curled into a smile, Queenie said slowly, “The incident that took place five years ago and the pregnancy out of wedlock can only allow the netizens to criticize Nicole from a moral point of view. But, that’s not the case with plagiarism. Plagiarizing means she’s violated the law. Despite having the support from F&M Apparel, Nicole will still be sent to jail as long as the rightful owner of the original design draft sues her!”
Overjoyed at Queenie’s words, Lydia immediately asked, “Queenie, have you found the owner of the original design draft?”
Upon hearing that, Queenie shook her head. She had been bothered by this matter as well. Although she had asked the judges of the competition from that year, they informed her that it was an anonymous draft. Even though the person had won first place in the competition, no one ever showed up to pick up the prize. They tried to contact the person, but there was no response.
“Then, what should we do?” Lydia asked, feeling rather anxious. I finally seized this golden opportunity. I don’t want to give it up!
“Mom, this matter has become too big of a deal now. It’s impossible that the owner of the original design draft hasn’t seen it. Let’s wait for two more days. If the judges still can’t get in touch with the owner by then, we’ll find someone to pretend to be the owner of the original design draft ourselves. This time, we need to crush Nicole to the point that she can’t make a comeback!”
As she gritted her teeth, Queenie uttered those words. Last time, Nicole nearly set me up to have s*x with Joseph! No matter what, I can’t let that slide. Currently, Nicole is being treated like a reprobate. Everyone is spitting hateful remarks, showing her no signs of kindness when they see her. I simply don’t believe that there’s still a way for her to emancipate herself!
Instantaneously, Lydia showed a malicious smile. “Sounds good. Queenie, you’re so intelligent!” Back then, Nicole’s mother never conspired against me. It seems like the daughter she gave birth to is also useless, considering we can have Nicole completely under our feet now!
At the same time, at the Gardner Corporation, the situation was not looking well in the President’s office. Holding his head with one hand, Colton looked at the document in his hand and could not help feeling a headache.
Due to scandals like Nicole’s plagiarism, premarital pregnancy, and such being exposed on the Internet, the Board of Directors of the Gardner Corporation could no longer sit still. They all requested the Gardner Corporation to play safe and quickly kick Nicole out.
Though Colton managed to suppress this issue with all his strength, he did not expect the Board of Directors to bring this matter to his father, Benjamin Gardner.
Benjamin was old and had a bad temper. Upon hearing that there was such a black sheep in the company, he immediately gave Colton a call and scolded him first without letting him explain.
Then, Benjamin strictly ordered Colton to kick Nicole out of the Gardner Cooperation as soon as possible. If it was someone else, Colton could still suppress this issue with a tough approach. However, this was his own father. So, he really could do nothing much about it.
