Chapter 348 Have You Lost Your Minds?
The next day, Nicole energized herself, dressed up, and went to the Gardner’s, where the couches in the living room were filled with people.
Not only were the Gardners there, but Queenie and Pierre were also present.
Actually, Pierre was there because he wanted to meet this student of White’s, and that was the reason he asked Queenie to bring him along.
On the other hand, Queenie brought him along because she wanted him to make some unnoticeable moves so that Benedict would pass away on the hospital bed.
In the meantime, the Gardners allowed both of them in because they were worried that Nicole couldn’t find White’s student. Then, Pierre could be the backup.
All in all, everyone had their own selfish reasons.
When they saw Nicole had arrived with Julia without anyone else behind them, Olivia was the first to raise the question. “Isn’t White Nicholson’s protégé coming as well? Where’s she?”
Scanning across everyone, Nicole didn’t answer her and merely said to Colton, “Take me in to have a look at Old Mr. Benedict first. I’ll need to do a complete body checkup on him so that I can conduct the surgery based on the data.”
Her tone was as calm as the sea, but her words annoyed Olivia. With a thud, she sprang to her feet and stared daggers at Nicole. “What do you mean by this? Are you going to do this yourself because you can’t find White Nicholson’s student?” By then, her face had turned completely dark, and she glared at Nicole without blinking. “I shouldn’t have believed you before, b*tch! I really thought that you could find White Nicholson’s student, but it turned out that you were just bragging!”
Sensing something amiss, Anna appeared a little concerned, and she looked at Nicole as she said, “What’s happening, Nicole?”
Watching Nicole, Pierre recalled their conversation from before, and he couldn’t help but gloat. “Miss, could it be that you’re making up for it because you can’t find White Nicholson’s student?”
As she listened to their questioning, she didn’t say a thing and merely looked at Colton. Raising her voice, she asked, “President Gardner, I’m going to perform a body checkup on Old Mr. Benedict. Do I have your permission?”
Standing up, Colton had a faint smile on his face, and instead of revealing her identity, he went along with her and nodded. “Of course. I’ll take you there. There are pieces of equipment in Grandpa’s room you can use.”
When Olivia heard Colton’s approval, her face fell. “Colton Gardner! Are you trying to kill Dad? How can you trust this bitch? What can she do when she’s just a designer? Have you lost your mind?”
Even Anna was a little hesitant, but she knew that Colton wasn’t a senseless person, and he wouldn’t pull such a big joke just to save Nicole from the embarrassment.
However, she wasn’t confident, and she had no idea what both of them were up to, so she was also a little concerned.
Turning to his parents, Colton guaranteed on behalf of Nicole. “Mother, Father, I believe that Nicole can do it.”
Seeing how serious Colton was, Anna felt a little relief as she trusted her son.
Despite having doubts, Benjamin knew Colton had always been confident in everything he did, and he set aside his doubts. Nodding, he said in a deep voice, “Take her in.”
This time, Olivia erupted. After staring at both of them for a long while, she barked, “Have you two lost your minds? If you can’t find White’s student, let Dr. Toth do it. At least, the chances will be higher than when this b*tch does it!”
Since Benjamin had decided to believe his own son, he stood by his side. “Let Nicole go in to conduct a checkup first. Once the results are out, we see what she has to say.”
