Chapter 135 Bring Henry to Me
When Colton saw Nicole coming over, the gloom on his face dissipated a lot. He then stood up and walked slowly to the sofa.
While pouring water, he uttered, “News on the Internet these days have not been not good for you. Do you need any help?”
Nicole took the water that Colton handed over, took a sip to moisten her throat, and said with a smile, “The more commotion, the better.”
Colton looked at Nicole’s confident appearance and felt a little relieved. He sat opposite her with a cup of coffee in hand and asked with pursed lips, “That woman, Daniella, went after you, and is obviously unwilling to let go. So what are your plans?”
Nicole had nothing to hide, so she placed down her cup and replied, “I already advised her, but she was carried away by the potential benefits, so there’s nothing I can do about that.”
“It seems that you already have a plan.” Colton smiled.
Nicole didn’t deny it either. She nodded, looked at Colton, and talked about the main thing that brought her here today. “There is one more thing, and I hope you can help me with this.”
“Tell me. After all, we are all on the same boat now.” Colton had a little smile in his eyes, and he realized that he had underestimated Nicole.
At the beginning of this matter, he believed that Nicole had the ability to deal with it, but as the matter fermented more and more, he became worried a little, for fear that Nicole would not be able to keep up. But it seemed that he was overthinking.
The woman in front of him seemed like she was already confident of winning.
“Henry Cooper was the one who leaked the design draft. I know very well that I asked you to let him go before.” Nicole slowly spoke about it.
Colton nodded. He also saw the video about Henry on the Internet, and what he said was indeed a bit too much. “Now you want to get him back?”
“Yeah,” Nicole responded. Whitney had already found Henry’s location, but it seemed unrealistic for the two of them to go over and grab him, so only Colton could help them with this.
“I’m certain to be able to turn over the entire situation of the design draft, but the remarks made by Henry before can only be explained clearly by him in person,” Nicole said seriously.
Colton asked curiously, “I’m a little curious—is what he said true?”
Nicole was suddenly at a loss for words while she clasped her hands and pursed her lips. Lowering her eyes, she explained softly, “Half of it is true.”
Colton looked at Nicole’s sad expression and wanted to say something, but before he had time to speak, Nicole continued speaking.
“Back then, my mother was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital, but we had no money.” There was a hint of bitterness that hung on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes drooped, and her throat was dry as her tone was a bit heavy.
“I broke up with Henry when my mother was seriously ill, but that was more than three months before I did… it… for money.”
After breaking up with Henry that year, Henry also tried to get her back, but her mother was seriously ill, and she didn’t want to drag Henry down, so she didn’t agree to being with him anymore. Later, Henry more or less found out about her family’s situation and didn’t contact her any more.
Because of this, she always felt as if she had somehow wronged him, but she didn’t expect Henry to think of her that way!
Colton listened to her slightly heavy words and suddenly had the urge to slap himself—why did he have to ask this question? Now, the atmosphere had become stiff.
Nicole retracted the wry smile at the corner of her mouth, looked up at Colton, and uttered in a hoarse voice, “President Gardner, these are old stories that aren’t worth mentioning. So, about Henry?”
Colton nodded and changed the topic wisely. “I got it. Leave the matter of Henry to me, and I will bring him here before the end of the month no matter what.”
“Well, Daniella has already sued me, and I have also received a subpoena. The case will be brought to court at the end of this month, so I hope you will be able to convene a press conference before the end of the month,” Nicole said seriously.
“You’re trying to make things bigger?” Colton looked at Nicole with a smile on his face.
“After all, everyone is already riding on my head, so I can’t do nothing.” Nicole pursed her lips and smiled. “Furthermore, I will be able to promote the clothing brand through this news. Kill two birds with one stone, right?”
