Chapter 134 Threats to Withdraw the Lawsuit
Just as Whitney and Nicole returned home, the Internet had been stirred up again.
Whitney looked at the statement posted by Daniella on the Internet and was so angry that she almost smashed the computer into pieces. She said angrily, “Miss Nicole, that shameless b*tch actually said that you threatened her!”
Nicole glanced at the content posted by Daniella, which mentioned that at noon, they went to her company to forcibly take her away, and then coerced her into withdrawing the lawsuit.
There was also a piece of audio below the text, but the audio was obviously edited, and the content really sounded like she was being threatened.
“Nicole, she even recorded it—we’ve been tricked!” Whitney’s face turned red with anger. Unexpectedly, their kind words of advice were used to make them look like the bad guys.
There was no panic on Nicole’s face as she reached out and clicked on the computer. “If you feel angry, then don’t read it.”
“You are the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel—when have you been reduced to being slandered by these nobodies!” Whitney exclaimed, obviously upset.
Since she joined F&M Apparel, she had been working for Nicole and was always her assistant. She also knew that Nicole was a true talent.
“The more arrogant they are now, the more painful it will be when they fall,” Nicole said with a smile. Now that she could access her email account, by the end of the month, it would be time for the real counterattack.
“So we just allow them to slander you this way on the Internet?” Whitney asked. She was angry at those comments, and she couldn’t wait to retaliate against them on the spot.
“Let them be happy for a while now, and at the end of the month, we’ll get rid of them,” Nicole assured her.
…
In the President’s office of the Gardner Corporation.
Tony stood in front of Colton and reported the recent company affairs.
Colton listened a little absent-mindedly, resting his chin on one hand while staring straight outside.
Tony glanced at him carefully and was reluctant to remind Colton that he was distracted, so he could only continue talking.
Halfway through his reporting, he was interrupted by Colton, who suddenly returned to Earth. “How are things online recently?”
Tony was dumbfounded when asked. His brain quickly searched for information about the matter. Recently, the only thing that had been making waves on the Internet was Nicole.
He asked carefully, “Is it the one to do with Miss Nicole?”
Colton frowned slightly and asked, dissatisfied, “Who else could I be talking about?”
Tony suddenly understood why his boss had been in such a bad mood these days. After all, all the current news on the Internet was bad things about Nicole.
After some hesitation, he then said in a low voice, “Yesterday, Daniella Zimmer of Pinnacle Group posted in the morning and claimed that the design draft was hers, and she wanted to sue Miss Nicole. And then, in the afternoon, she posted an audio recording, claiming that Miss Nicole threatened her to withdraw the lawsuit…”
When Colton heard this, his expression became darker, and he lowered his voice. “What is the identity of this Daniella Zimmer?”
“Just an insignificant employee,” Tony answered honestly.
When the news broke, he immediately went to check and found that there was no power behind Daniella.
Colton frowned and folded his hands together. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knock at the door.
The two shut their mouths very tacitly at that.
After knocking on the door, Nicole pushed it open and walked in, only to find that both Colton and Tony were inside.
She asked politely, “Am I interrupting?”
Colton glanced at Tony lightly.
Tony immediately shook his head like a rattle. “Not at all. I just finished reporting to President Gardner. You can speak to him now.”
After he finished speaking, he put the file on the table very quickly without saying anything. Then, he swiftly opened the door and went out.
