Chapter 163 Daniella Disappears
The day of the court session grew nearer. What Nicole didn’t expect was that not only did Daniella not come to her, but she also did not plan to sell Queenie out at all.
Nicole couldn’t help but wonder if the money Queenie gave her was enough for her to give up on her freedom.
However, as Daniella did not come looking for her, Nicole too did not withdraw the lawsuit and went directly to court.
This matter had also attracted many reporters. After all, news of Daniella’s suicide was still trending. Of course, they would come to take advantage of the popularity of this topic.
But this time around, the plaintiff and the defendant had switched positions.
Nicole stood upright in the plaintiff’s position, but Daniella did not come.
After not seeing Daniella’s appearance for a while, the reporters began to grow suspicious.
“What if she committed suicide because Lisa refused to withdraw her lawsuit?”
“Don’t speak nonsense. It’s also possible that she’s not here because she wants to escape the sanctions of the law and run away.”
“It’s been half an hour now. If Daniella doesn’t arrive, I’m afraid the court will not be able to begin its proceedings.”
After waiting for more than half an hour, Daniella, who was the defendant, still had not arrived, so many had started whispering among themselves.
Nicole also frowned. Logically speaking, Daniella, as a defendant, must have a limitation in movement, and she could not have gone far. Could she be hiding?
In the end, Daniella still never appeared in court. Hence, the judge announced the delay of the court session.
Nicole didn’t have any opinion about that. However, she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy for some reason.
As soon as they went out, the reporters gathered around, but because of Colton’s warning last time, they didn’t ask too many questions.
“Miss Lisa, is there any specific reason why Ms. Daniella, the defendant, didn’t come today?”
“Yes, Miss Lisa. Ms. Daniella posted a video on the Internet saying that she would commit suicide if you didn’t withdraw your lawsuit. What do you think about this?”
And the questions from the reporters went on.
The reporters crowded up one after the other, and the questions they threw at her caused Nicole a headache.
When Whitney saw this, she hurried over to help stop the reporters. She stood in front of Nicole and said unhappily, “You should ask Daniella these questions, not Miss Lisa!”
“Although Ms. Daniella is indeed guilty from a legal point of view, from a moral perspective, shouldn’t you let her go?” Seeing that Nicole was dodging their questions, a courageous reporter came up and threw her a sharp one.
Nicole paused in her footsteps. She then turned her head to look straight at the reporter who spoke, and her eyes sank slightly. Next second, she pursed her lips, glanced at the piles of reporters below, and said slowly after a smirk, “When I claimed that I didn’t plagiarize, did you let me go? Did you give me a chance? Now that I am protecting my legal rights and interests, you want me to give her a chance? Excuse me, but from what perspective are you questioning me from?”
The reporters were stunned by Nicole’s words. They themselves were responsible for upholding the moral level. From a legal standpoint, it was true that there was nothing wrong with what Nicole did.
Nicole continued in a cold voice, “If everyone judges a person by virtue, then what is the use of the law?”
The reporters couldn’t answer Nicole’s questions. Originally, they wanted to use this opportunity to start another trending wave, but they didn’t expect Nicole to completely shut them down.
They didn’t speak any more, and Whitney also followed Nicole as they left.
“Miss Nicole, you don’t look so good.” Whitney only spoke when there was no one around them.
Nicole closed her eyes. She was inexplicably flustered today, which made her expression look bad, and she explained, “I feel like something is going to happen.”
“What?” Whitney quickly reacted. “Are you talking about Daniella?”
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded.
“No way. That person is so cowardly. It is impossible for her to commit suicide.” Whitney shook her head because she had hacked into the hospital’s system to take a look at her records. The degree of the cut on her wrist was shallower than the wound of someone who accidentally scratched themselves. How could such a person possibly commit suicide?
