Chapter 116 Unexpected Twist
Queenie’s heart squeezed as she clenched her fists. Why is this happening? Why is it that Nicole manages to head off a danger every time?!
Dissatisfied, she bit her lip. She thought that she could witness Nicole making a fool of herself at this press conference, but she didn’t expect that not only was Nicole not be humiliated, she even pissed her off.
Queenie’s eyes turned red, and she wasn’t interested in listening anymore, so she turned and left.
When Nicole saw Queenie leaving, a smile played on her lips as she carried on talking to the reporters.
“I hope everyone can focus on the excellent designs and not on these irrelevant behaviors. This summer line will definitely dazzle everyone. Thank you.”
After Nicole finished talking, Joanna and Colton were the next to speak, and they more or less made the standard remarks before ending the new product launch event.
After Queenie came out, she immediately took out her phone and made a call.
“When the news of the Gardner Corporation’s launch event is released, leak the plagiarism news immediately.” She gritted her teeth, gripping the phone so tightly that her knuckles had begun to turn white.
Of course she never expected the leaked design draft to cause Nicole’s downfall; she just wanted to use this chance to make Colton lose trust in Nicole.
Unexpectedly, she had wasted so much effort only for Nicole to gain an advantage, and it even made the new product launch even more successful.
Queenie’s entire body was trembling a little, and she said viciously to the person on the other end of the line, “No matter how much money it costs, we must make this incident as big of an issue as possible!”
After Queenie hung up the phone, a smile finally appeared on her face.
This time, she wasn’t the one defaming Nicole. Instead, Nicole shot herself in the foot because the outfit she had given Wendy turned out to be a plagiarized product!
She even copied the design of a major design competition’s champion from a few years back. Although the winner had participated anonymously, they would certainly be angry if they saw that their design had been plagiarized, and that it went viral.
Now, she must quickly find the anonymous person who won the first place. If she could find them and get them to sue Nicole, perhaps she could have Nicole imprisoned for a few years.
At this thought, Queenie felt much happier, and a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. Nicole, I’d like to see how you’re going to fight back this time!
After the new product launch event, Joanna had a sour look on her face, but because Colton was still around, she didn’t show it.
Standing next to Nicole, Colton turned to look at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
“This launch is more successful than any other launch event Gardner Apparel has ever organized over the years. It’s no wonder you’re the Chief Designer.”
Nicole smiled modestly, not taking credit for herself.
“No. This is all thanks to the person who wanted to humiliate me. It just so happened that this time, it didn’t take any effort for it to become a hot topic.”
Joanna couldn’t say a single word while standing next to her. Although she wasn’t involved in the matter, she more or less knew about it.
She didn’t expect that Queenie was so useless that she fell into the trap that Nicole had designed.
Colton nodded. When they talked about the perpetrator, his smile disappeared, and his voice became a little colder.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this matter.”
Nicole shook her head and looked ahead. “President Gardner, can you please not pursue this matter?”
Surprised, Colton turned to look at Nicole, then raised his voice in confusion. “What?”
Nicole lowered her gaze and explained in a low voice, “The Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel have nothing to lose from this matter.”
Nicole pursed her lips and peered at Colton. “After all, I owed him in the past. We’ll treat it as me paying him back.”
Colton was silent for a while, but he eventually agreed. Nicole wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she had the feeling that Colton was a little upset.
