Chapter 357 Out of the Police Station
Realizing that she had made a gaffe, Queenie hurriedly wore a smile, but her entire face was twitching. Of course she was unhappy in her heart, but she had to look delighted on the surface.
Facing the journalists, she responded with a smile, “Of course I’m happy. It’s amazing that Nicole is innocent.”
Despite that, the seasoned and experienced journalists knew that Queenie was clearly trying to put this blame on Nicole with her statements earlier.
“Miss Queenie, are you making up lies here because you’re jealous of Miss Nicole?”
“Yeah, are you?”
Her face turned ashen, but she couldn’t fall now and neither could she retreat. Hence, she tried her best to remain composed and swept her eyes over Olivia, who was that close to passing out. I can’t rely on her, for sure, she thought, and tried her best to calm herself. I’m not some scapegoat that can take any kind of blame.
“I didn’t know that Nicole is White Nicholson’s student. At that time, Miss Olivia looked for me to provide an explanation for the Gardner Family. I didn’t believe it at first, but Nicole was already arrested and sent to the police station. So, I have to think it was real, and I thought that I could reduce the weight of her crime by apologizing on her behalf.”
Queenie had to admit that her pitiful act was very handy. Pouting her lips, she blinked her eyes and they immediately turned red, which made her look not so pitiful.
Meanwhile at the police station, the lawyer who sent Nicole in was wiping his cold sweat away as he kept apologizing to the calm Nicole. “Miss Nicole, please forgive me and don’t hold it against a nobody like me. I had no other choice either.”
He was just a regular employee, so how could he offend Olivia? Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and show up, but he never imagined that not only was Nicole White’s student, she even had Colton to back her up. As a junior lawyer, he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.
Staring at the person whose forehead was covered in beads of cold sweat, Nicole knew that he was just a miserable employee and didn’t make things difficult for him. “I know. You’re only here on Olivia’s orders. I won’t act indiscriminately.”
Hearing her, the lawyer was so moved that he almost collapsed on his knees and gave her a ninety-degree bow instead. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Nicole.”
Then, he let out a heavy sigh of relief. Looks like I’m safe now, he thought, recalling the call Colton made to him immediately after he had sent Nicole to the police station. That voice was so cold that it made his scalp numb. Who dares to offend a person like that?
After that, Nicole walked out of the police station. As the press conference venue organized by Olivia was close to the police station, when she came out, some journalists with a sharp eye immediately caught sight of her.
Seeing her outside, they quickly swarmed up to Nicole.
“Miss Nicole, are you really White Nicholson’s student?”
White’s reputation back then was particularly excellent; his medical skills were superior and he was kind. No matter what a person’s family background was, as long as they became his patient, he would treat them seriously!
Later, he had accepted a student and, together with his protege, they studied medicine to cure diseases and sold it to the public at an affordable price.
“That’s right, Miss Nicole. After White Nicholson’s death, his student has never made any more appearances. Is there a hidden reason for that?”
This question made Nicole’s heart wrench unwittingly and she was unable to stop the tears from forming in her eyes.
She tried her best to collect herself, and after a while, she said to the journalists, “Back then, my master was set up by someone, and not only his reputation, but his health was damaged as well. Before his death, he kept telling me not to practice medicine anymore.”
Her tone was very calm, but there was a small whimper in her voice, and it was so small that it was almost unnoticeable without paying attention to it.
