Chapter 414 Checkmate
Nicole stared at the man before her. After a while, she finally raised a wry smile. “Mr. Clancy, do you really think I did it?”
Norman didn’t nod, but he began to persuade her, “Nicole, it’s not too late for you to admit your wrongdoings. You can’t live on peacefully if you start getting charged.”
Nicole suddenly chuckled as the concern on her face instantly dissipated.
The smile on her face was sweet, and she didn’t seem flustered at all.
Norman looked at Nicole and couldn’t understand what she was thinking.
Nicole reached out and pressed on a remote control, and a video instantly displayed on a huge screen behind him.
In the video, it was the footage of the base where the crime was being committed.
The people in the audience who blamed Nicole instantly quieted down, and they all watched the video in unison.
After they finished watching the video, Nicole magnified the figure in the video. It was a man.
As everyone quieted down, Nicole announced slowly, “This is the man who stole the information at that time, and the police had already identified him. It was the security guard of the base. I thought Mr. Clancy would have believed in me, but I didn’t expect…”
Norman’s expression turned dark as he clenched his fists tightly. He never thought that he would be checked by Nicole.
His lips were trembling. With his eyes fixated on Nicole, Norman wanted to find excuses for his actions. However, Nicole seemed to have anticipated his reaction, so she said bluntly, “I knew you didn’t believe me because the rumor about Master White came from you.”
Her words, said without emotions, were like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake and instantly stirring up layers of waves.
Norman’s expression changed. While looking at Nicole, he said sharply, “What kind of nonsense are you spouting, Nicole? You can’t just slander me here just because I didn’t vouch for you!”
Nicole looked at the enraged Norman with a sarcastic smile on her lips. Then, she pressed the button, and the pictures on the screen switched instantly.
It was now replaced with some pictures of Norman visiting White’s patient’s family members.
Nicole looked at Norman and asked, “Mr. Clancy, these are the people who demanded compensation in the hospital. You met them a week before the accident and gave them money. Are you going to say it has nothing to do with you?”
Facing Nicole’s accusations, Norman could only grit his teeth.
He quickly stepped forward and held Nicole’s wrist tightly while muttering, “Nicole, let’s talk about this in private. No need to make such a scene here.”
Nicole shoved away Norman’s hand. Then, she raised her voice to the reporters and the crowd. “Mr. Clancy, I believe you are innocent. However, those pieces of evidence are now shown before me, so I had to doubt you, just like how you doubted me before.”
Norman did not expect himself to suddenly become the target of public criticism.
However, he had been an influential figure for many years, so he swiftly countered, “Nicole, there must be someone trying to stir up discord between us with this. Just look at the photo. How could I turn against and frame White, who had shown me such kindness!”
Nicole looked at the flustered man before her. Norman was older than White, but White had more experience than Norman, so Norman always respected White.
“Mr. Clancy!” Nicole interrupted Norman’s claims with her dark eyes showing no emotion. She then said to Norman, “I had asked someone to investigate this matter, so it wasn’t someone random who sent this to me. I had already handed over all this information to the police. Mr. Clancy, I believe the police will happily prove your innocence if you are not guilty.”
Norman’s face turned pale. His influence only worked abroad. Now that he was lured to Goldwick by Nicole, he was completely isolated and helpless.
