Chapter 174 Publishing the Recording
“Did you go out last night because of this, Nicole?”
Last night, Nicole had acted out of the norm, leaving the house after dolling up, and Whitney had thought at that time that she was out to meet a lover. But when the news came out today, she roughly understood that she was out to take care of business.
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded without hiding the truth. Leaning into the chair, she crossed her legs leisurely. “I’m afraid they’ll cling on to me again once this matter is cleared up. It’s annoying just to think about it, so I simply encouraged them,” she added with a smirk. “Anyway, they’ve wanted to sever ties with me for a long time now, and they can’t wait to do it at this point so that they won’t be negatively affected.”
“Tsk, they’re really good at acting according to the situation.” Whitney lamented, to which Nicole merely smiled and said no more.
In the afternoon, Whitney cut out the recording and uploaded it directly to the Internet with some trending hashtags. Less than an hour after this was published, it had more than a million views, shocking all the netizens who were watching the fun.
‘Damn! Really? So, Lisa is innocent? Daniella mistakenly killed herself?’
‘There’s another voice in the recording, and it was that person who instigated her. But two tablets of sleeping pills won’t kill a person. Could it be… murder?’
‘Really? Then, everything makes sense. Someone wants to use Daniella’s death to drag Lisa through the mud! How evil!’
…
Because of this recording, the comments on the Internet suddenly started to shift greatly. After all, it could be proven from the recording that Daniella merely wanted to use her previous suicide and the pressure of public criticisms to force Nicole to drop her charges.
Basically, she wanted to use the netizens to pull the trigger. The netizens who found out the truth began lashing out at Daniella, saying that she deserved to be dead.
Sure enough, this was what it meant to be keyboard warriors—just the slightest sign of something amiss was enough to make them change their position.
…
As William had severed all ties with Nicole in the early morning, Queenie was in high spirits and asked a few girlfriends out for afternoon tea together. Although the Andersons weren’t a huge family, the group of women were very polite to Queenie because of the Gardner Family behind her, addressing her name intimately and respectfully.
“Queenie, is Lisa really your sister?” a woman dressed in a light yellow dress and seated diagonally across her asked.
Instantly, Queenie put on a worried expression and sighed sadly, saying in a pretentious tone, “Yeah, Lisa is also named Nicole. At first, my father didn’t want to do this, but she came and made a scene at home last night unexpectedly. So, my father had no choice…”
The woman was also one who would like to have it both ways, hoping to reap some benefits from the Gardner Family through Queenie. Hence, she stood by her side with no questions asked.
“Queenie, you’re better off without a sister like that. Now that such a huge problem has come up, she’s literally the public enemy of all netizens. You guys won’t be implicated by her if you’ve cut off ties with each other.”
Queenie grinned, but she still said nice things. “You can’t put it like that either. She’s my sister, after all. Sigh, I guess we can only blame her for making a mistake.”
Next to them, a short-haired woman who was staring at her phone silently suddenly jerked her head up and cast both of them a complicated look. “It seems like Daniella was murdered.”
Her casual statement immediately caused Queenie’s face to fall, and she lashed out without holding back her tone, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Seeing how big her reaction was, everyone was startled, and Queenie quickly contained her expression when she realized that she had gaffed. Still, her brows remained furrowed as she calmed herself and uttered, “The police already said that Daniella committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. You shouldn’t spread nonsense like that.”
The short-haired woman raised her cell phone and played the recording. As Queenie listened to the recording, her face fell inch by inch.
