Chapter 123 Promiscuous
The plagiarism scandal also exposed the news that Nicole sold herself for money five years ago. Hence, the talk among the netizens ranged from her dishonesty in her profession to her integrity.
In the afternoon, one of the media outlets released a video. Once again, the heat of the plagiarism scandal reached a new high.
Although the person in the video had already been blurred, Nicole could still recognize that the person was Henry!
In the video, Henry first described his whole ordeal in courting Nicole and her leaving him to hook up with other men for money. Nearing the end of his description, he even started to cry hypocritically.
“I didn’t expect that I would meet her again five years later. Now, she’s a superior Chief Designer, while I’m just an ordinary salaryman. I asked her about the incident that took place five years ago, but she just kept apologizing to me…”
The length of the video was not long—only 5 minutes. However, every word Henry spat in the video painted a bad picture of Nicole.
In addition, the video even played out the audio of Nicole apologizing at the end. The recording was edited and left only a few words. “Henry, I’m sorry…”
Once the video was released, comments started flooding in, and most of them were hateful remarks made by the netizens toward Nicole.
‘How unexpected! Not only did she plagiarize, but she also obtained her current position by hooking up with men!’
‘This kind of woman is willing to do anything for money and power. I speculate that she’s been promiscuous since the beginning!’
‘Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, my foot! How ridiculous!’
The comments went on and on.
It would be a lie to say that Nicole was not enraged when she saw this video. She had never expected Henry to be the person betraying her.
With her teary eyes, Nicole played the video. Then, she closed her eyes slightly as she listened to the looping audio in the video.
“Regarding the incident that took place five years ago, she just kept apologizing to me…”
Yes, what Henry said is true. Because of the incident that took place five years ago, I felt that I had mistreated him. However, how could he twist his words and make me sound so despicable?
At the thought of that, Nicole clenched her fists tightly. When she opened her eyes again, the look on her face was that of a dead man.
Since he has chosen death, he can’t blame me for ending his life!
And thus, Nicole took out her phone and called her assistant, Whitney Campbell.
“Miss Nicole, I thought you had forgotten about me once you arrived in Goldwick!” Whitney whined with a smile.
Listening to the pretentious, whiny tone in Whitney’s voice, Nicole put up a stern look on her face. Then, she said, “Stop any work that you have at the moment and return to Goldwick on the first flight.”
Whitney was obviously stunned. However, she managed to snap back swiftly. “Miss Nicole, are you asking me to help you clean up the plagiarism scandal?”
“Yeah, I’ll feel more at ease with you by my side,” Nicole said immediately.
Although Whitney was her assistant designer, her real profession was a hacker. Nicole could not trust anyone now, so she could only rely on Whitney.
Upon hearing that, Whitney breathed a sigh of relief. “Not a problem! President Yates gave his orders earlier. He, too, asked me to stop any work I have at the moment and wait for your call.”
Sure enough, Whitney saw the scandal and comments circulating on the Internet. Yet, she did not take the initiative to do anything, considering Nicole had been staying silent.
Zachary saw the news about the plagiarism scandal first thing in the morning. He gave Whitney a call that morning, asking her to stop her work at the moment and wait for Nicole’s call.
It never crossed Nicole’s mind that Zachary would be so thoughtful. Hence, she felt rather touched by his thoughtfulness. “By the way, help me investigate a person and find out his current whereabouts when you come.”
“Is it the one in the video?” Whitney asked.
Upon hearing that, Nicole nodded and answered, “Yeah.”
Since Henry does not want me to have a better life, why would I be sanctimonious and let him live a comfortable life?
“Order received! Not to worry, Miss Nicole. This matter will certainly be dealt with nicely, considering I’m taking the lead!” Whitney assured with a smile.
Then, Nicole reached out her hand and massaged between her eyebrows. Feeling slightly tired, she responded, “Safe travels.”
