Chapter 165 Moving Home
Whitney almost heard everything clearly, and her expression was slightly stagnant. “Miss Nicole, did Daniella really committed suicide?”
Although they did nothing wrong in this matter, if Daniella really committed suicide, the pressure of public opinion would definitely be on Nicole.
Nicole pressed her palm against her eye as she rubbed it for a while. Her voice was hoarse. “I can’t be sure at the moment. We’ll have to wait for the autopsy report.”
Whitney was aware of the seriousness of the matter. “If she really died, the police will soon intervene, and it’s only a matter of time before the media finds out about it.”
Nicole nodded. She never thought that Daniella would have the courage to really kill herself.
Whitney looked at Nicole’s tired face and comforted her, “Miss Nicole, no matter how Daniella died, it has nothing to do with you—it’s all her fault.”
Nicole calmed down, and she fell into deep thoughts. It was not difficult to guess that Queenie was the person behind Daniella’s false claims over the design draft. Daniella only wanted fame and fortune from doing that, and she had no reason to take her own life for this matter.
Even if Nicole managed to win the court case, Daniella would at most spend a few days in prison and then suffer a little bit financially.
Besides, she also gave Daniella a path to retreat. As long as she confessed that it was Queenie behind everything, then she could save herself and retreat. Could Queenie be behind this too?
When Nicole thought of this, her eyes began to sink. If Queenie really did this, then she would be killing two birds with one stone.
Firstly, after Daniella’s death, it would definitely cause huge public pressure on Nicole. Secondly, the dead couldn’t speak, and the matter of falsely claiming the design could be blamed entirely on Daniella.
“Yes. There must be someone behind this matter. We can only try to find out as soon as possible before the media gets wind of this,” Nicole said in a hoarse voice.
At this juncture, no matter if Daniella’s death was a homicide or suicide, this ball of trouble would definitely be thrown on her head.
Whitney assured, “Okay, Miss Nicole. Don’t worry. We can definitely find out the truth!”
Nicole followed the address given by Colton to a villa. The villa had a special underground parking garage and was equipped with an elevator to go directly upstairs.
As soon as Nicole entered through the door, Hayden ran over from a distance and threw himself into her arms.
Tony was there as well. Nicole smiled and thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Larson.”
In return, Tony shook his head and said respectfully, “No problem; it’s my duty after all.”
“Mom, I thought something happened. This strange man took me away as soon as he came into our house,” Hayden said aggrievedly, holding Nicole.
Nicole looked down at her son, noticing the bit of grievance in his eyes. All of a sudden, she felt a little helpless. She reached out to rub his soft black hair and explained with a smile, “We’re going to stay here for a while, and I asked Mr. Larson to pick you up. Didn’t he tell you?”
“He did, but I didn’t trust him.” Hayden pouted.
It was normal that he didn’t believe it. After all, she knew that her son had always been smart since he was a child, and he rarely believed others easily.
Nicole naturally wouldn’t tell her son that something bad had indeed happened, so she just hugged him and said, “Haven’t you always wanted Mr. Handsome to be your father? This is his home. Let’s get along well with him first.”
When Hayden heard that it was Colton’s home, the grievance on his face disappeared instantly, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes quickly. “Really? Mommy, are you ready to move on? Do you want him to be my daddy?”
Nicole looked at her son’s happy expression, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. After all, Tony was still there, so she could only change the subject. “Ahem. Okay, now. Go play with Miss Whitney first. I have work stuff to talk about with Mr. Larson.”
Whitney naturally knew what Nicole was going to talk about, so she stepped forward to take Hayden. “Hey, Hayden. How about we go upstairs to see if there is anything fun to do?”
“Okay!” Hayden didn’t think much about it and immediately left with Whitney after hearing that he was going to have some fun.
