Chapter 150 Utterly Disappointed
Right now, Queenie was suffering in silence because she couldn’t voice them!
“Mom, there’s one more thing: Nicole wants to sue Daniella!” Queenie suddenly remembered this matter.
Although she promised to give Daniella a sum of money, if she was actually sued and imprisoned, she was afraid that Daniella would sell her out.
“Did Daniella expose you?” That was the first thing Lydia thought of.
Queenie shook her head. “Not yet, but if Nicole really sues Daniella and sends her to jail, that woman might not be able to keep her silence.”
Lydia’s heart clenched. Now, the Anderson Family was completely dependent on the connection between Queenie and Colton to survive. If something happened to Queenie, their family would be ruined.
“Let me think about it. There must be a solution!” Lydia tried hard to calm herself down.
“Mom, you must figure out a way to solve this, or we’d be screwed!” Queenie said anxiously.
She never thought that Nicole would turn things around. Initially, the worst thing that could happen was that they would find out that Daniella was an imposter. As long as the creator of the original design didn’t step forward, she could still escape unscathed.
However, the current situation was completely beyond her control.
…
Early the next morning, Nicole went to see Henry, accompanied by Colton.
After Colton had found Henry, he was locked up in a hotel, and guards were specially arranged to keep watch.
When Nicole entered, Henry was sitting at the head of the bed in a daze. He immediately reacted when he heard noise at the door. As soon as he looked up, he saw Nicole and Colton.
With a thud, he kneeled onto the ground. Before Nicole and Colton could speak, Henry began to beg for mercy.
“Nicole, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have… shouldn’t have…” He glanced at Colton, then swallowed his words and continued, “I shouldn’t have said that to you. Nicole, will you let me go?”
Nicole’s face was void of expression, and she didn’t feel any pity despite Henry begging so desperately.
Colton looked down at the man kneeling on the ground. Frowning slightly, he fixed him with a dark gaze and said coldly, “You must bear the consequences of your mistake.”
Henry glanced at Colton, looking a little frightened, then he gritted his teeth and timidly called out, “President Gardner.”
After calming down a little, Nicole was finally willing to look right at him. “Henry, I did feel a bit guilty for breaking up with you back then, but you know why I did it.”
Henry hurriedly nodded. “Nicole, I know. Your mother was sick, and you didn’t want to drag me down.”
When Nicole heard what he had blurted out, she realized that he knew it after all.
Calming down, she continued, “I felt guilty not because I slept with someone else five years ago, but because I broke up with you due to my mother’s condition!”
Henry hung his head and responded repeatedly, “I know, Nicole. I was just a little dissatisfied…”
“Dissatisfied?” Nicole looked down at him and suddenly laughed, her calm face looking a lot more vivid because of the laughter.
“What are you dissatisfied about? Didn’t you leave because you were afraid I’d drag you down?”
Now that the truth was so blatantly laid out, Henry’s expression was a little sour, but Nicole was right. That was indeed what happened back then. He was afraid that he would be dragged into debt if he continued to be with Nicole, so they broke up…
Nicole closed her eyes, and a trace of loss flashed across her face. Although she already had a child, she had only been in one proper relationship.
She didn’t expect that she would be so blind as to fall in love with such a person back then.
“Nicole, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have slandered you. I can post a video to clarify things. Forgive me.” Henry kowtowed three times, causing a series of banging sounds to ring out.
Feeling utterly disappointed in him, Nicole pursed her lips. “I can ignore that you slandered me and not pursue it.”
A trace of joy immediately appeared on Henry’s face, and he said with a smile, “Nicole, I knew you—”
Before he could finish speaking, Nicole interrupted him, “But, you stole the design from the Design Department, and there’s even surveillance footage as evidence. I can’t control how President Gardner will pursue it!”
