If someone could lend support.
Nicole understood what Sheila meant by these words.
Due to the seriousness of the rumors, an ordinary citizen would have no power to put them away.
Nevertheless, what worthy person would be willing to come out to clear up this mess?
“Thank you, I will find a solution.”
After hanging up the phone, Nicole suddenly thought of Rocky. Would Rocky be willing to support her by saying something fair on her behalf?
She was hesitant about calling Rocky.
When Rocky saw the caller ID, he knew immediately why Nicole was calling him.
A quarter of an hour ago, Ian had just made repeated orders that he was not to get involved with Nicole and these scandals. Otherwise, Yan Group would be adversely affected and his position would be shaky.
As he answered the phone, he was struggling with himself.
“Nikki, what’s the matter?”
“Rocky, have you read the hot searches on the web?”
He paused for a while, then replied, “Yeah, I’ve read them. Don’t you feel bad. As long as you’re innocent, the day will come when you will be vindicated.”
Nicole was speechless.
She was quite taken aback by Rocky’s cool and calm reply to comfort her.
She hesitated. Should I mention asking him to help clarify in public?
Hearing the silence on the other end of the line, Rocky quickly added, “Nikki, I’ll get people to reply to the posts and speak up for you.”
Nicole clenched her fingers and made her request with difficulty, “Rocky, can you clarify this matter for me?”
Rocky was in a difficult position. If it weren’t for the warnings he had been given, he would do his best to help without Nicole asking for it.
However, at this moment…
He could not let Ian down. He had his own ambitions to achieve.
He hesitated for a moment, then he replied, “Nikki, I have been sent out on official business tomorrow. It was planned beforehand. I’m afraid…”
Nicole understood Rocky even before he had finished speaking.
She could very well understand why Rocky was doing this. It was only reasonable and she could not force someone else to help.
The reason she called was only to find out if he could, not to force him.
“It’s alright. You go ahead. Rest early. I’ll not take any more of your time.”
At that, Nicole hung up the phone.
Apparently, she had to find some other way.
It was a sleepless night for her.
She leaned against the bed rest, quietly lost in thought.
She felt like she was on the crest of a tidal wave, being blown by the cold wind, being beaten by the waves, and being beaten by all kinds of onslaughts!
Her heart felt like it was bleeding.
Her only companion was teardrops that rolled uncontrollably down the contour of her cheeks.
Drop after drop the tears came, each one crystal clear…
It was a long night.
From time to time, Evan glanced at the phone, seeming a little restless as he waited for someone’s call to give him an update.
He felt that at this moment she needed some comforting and someone to advise her on what she should do.
And he, Evan was the most suitable person to do that.
It only took a word from him and all those popular searches would be dismissed in no time at all.
Nevertheless, when morning came, there was still no call from her.
Is she really so strong-willed?
Has the little girl who loved to cry grown into such a strong character that nothing can penetrate her shield?
All these years, what has she gone through?
Evan felt troubled. He picked up the phone to call her but was afraid of disturbing her as she might be sleeping.
Right until morning broke, he did not get the call he was waiting for.
His elegant lips curved into a smile, “Girl, I don’t care if you need it or not, there are some things, I’ll just go ahead and do.”
Evan picked up his phone and dialed John’s number.
Hearing the ringing of his phone, John grumbled while reaching out for it.
“Who the hell would call this early in the morning to disturb my sweet dreams?”
Seeing the caller ID, he suddenly opened his eyes wide to make sure that he was right and sat up quickly.
“Mr. Seet, you wake up so early? Any instructions for me?”
Evan did not beat around the bush but told him exactly what to do.
John was taken aback, “Mr. Seet, you have decided to do that?”
“Confirmed yes. Do not let Nicole know about that. Do you understand?”
“I understand.”
