Chapter 147 Not Worthy of Sympathy
After the court declared the sentence, Nicole walked slowly toward the dishonored Daniella. Many reporters were present, and they were sitting in the audience.
Nicole smiled and said, “Ms. Zimmer, I advised you not to take what’s not yours, but you still did it. Now, do you know what it means to suffer the consequences of your sins?”
Daniella’s expression was nasty. She wanted to speak, but she thought of the fact that the Gardner Corporation was cooperating with F&M Apparel, so since she slandered Nicole, both companies might not let her off the hook!
If both companies made a move, she was afraid even Queenie might not be able to back her up.
Daniella stumbled a little, then took a step back to stabilize herself. Her lips trembled as she had a pleading look in her eyes, and her voice softened considerably.
“Miss Lisa, I didn’t know better. Can you please not sue me? I can compensate you for all your financial losses!”
As Nicole looked at the pitiful person in front of her, she didn’t feel any sympathy whatsoever. She did this to herself!
She stood up straight and said coldly, “I warned you when I went to your office last time, but you didn’t listen. It’s too late now. I’ll get F&M Apparel to send you a subpoena. It won’t be long before we’ll meet in court again.”
What happened to Daniella wasn’t worthy of her sympathy. She did this to herself, so there was nothing to sympathize with!
After Nicole left, Daniella collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were blank, and when she blinked, tears fell from her eyes.
Initially, Nicole thought Daniella would give Queenie up, but she didn’t expect that she wouldn’t say anything and bear it all on her own instead.
She walked slowly to Queenie. At this moment, Anna, Wendy, and Colton were all there.
There was a forced smile on Queenie’s face as she looked at Nicole and said slowly, “Nicole, congratulations. You’re cleared of suspicion now.”
Nicole looked down at her, the corners of her lips curling up. “It’s all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, none of this would’ve happened.”
Queenie’s face turned pale because Anna and the others were still there, so she quickly denied. “Nicole, you can’t say such nonsense.”
When Nicole saw how Queenie was acting like a do-gooder, she had no intention of continuing to speak enigmatically to her. She looked sideways at Wendy, a slightly apologetic look on her face.
“Miss Gardner, although I didn’t copy the design, I’m very sorry for the impact it caused you,” Nicole said sincerely.
Wendy blushed. As she thought of what she had said before, she felt a little ashamed. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, “I apologize for what I said before.” Although Wendy had been a little arrogant since young, she still had some basic manners.
Nicole shook her head. “No, I didn’t clarify matters with you, Miss Gardner. It’s me who should apologize.”
When Wendy saw how humble Nicole was, her expression eased considerably.
“Next time, I’ll definitely clarify the matter before I question anyone.”
Nicole didn’t say much else, but pointed to the outside and said, “Now, there’s a group of reporters waiting for me outside. I’ll go out first. We’ll talk more later.”
“Okay.” Wendy nodded, seemingly quite content with Nicole’s gentle reaction.
When Whitney saw Nicole come out after winning the case, she was extremely happy. Stepping forward, she hugged her, grinning from ear to ear. “Nicole, you’re awesome. This feels so good. When I saw the look on her face, I was so happy!”
Nicole smiled as well upon seeing how happy Whitney was, and she felt the depressing atmosphere of the past few days lighten.
It was a pity that Daniella didn’t sell Queenie out in the end. Otherwise, she could use this chance to get rid of Queenie!
