Chapter 141 Pleasing the Gardner Family
Seeing as Nicole wasn’t elaborating, Colton didn’t insist either, and his face eased into a smile. “The trial’s tomorrow. You should have a good rest tonight.”
Nicole lowered her gaze and nodded.
She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. Stopping abruptly, she turned to look at Colton, then hesitated and thought for a while before asking, “President Gardner, if this matter involves Queenie, should we continue?”
Nicole fixed Colton with a steady gaze. After all, Queenie was his fiancée. During this hearing, everything would be picked apart, and Queenie would certainly be deemed the culprit.
There wasn’t much change in Colton’s expression. He pursed his lips and said, “No matter who it is, they must pay the price for doing something wrong.”
Relieved, Nicole nodded. “Okay, got it.”
When she got home, Whitney eagerly rushed up to her and gave her a big hug.
“Miss Nicole, you were amazing at the press conference today! It’s no wonder you’re the woman I look up to!” Whitney praised.
When Nicole saw her joyous appearance, she couldn’t help but smile. “I’ll be even better tomorrow.”
Whitney was filled with joy as soon as she thought of what would happen the next day. She retreated to the sofa, then sat cross-legged and exclaimed, “I’m happy just thinking of tomorrow’s scene!”
The evidence they possessed could completely prove that Daniella lied and that the winning design was Nicole’s. As long as they had this evidence, they had nothing to worry about.
“Nicole, how nasty do you think their faces will be when they find out?” Whitney asked with a smile.
…
As the next day was the day of the trial, Queenie’s heart was ill at ease, for fear that something would happen. At night, she couldn’t bear it anymore and went to the Gardner Residence.
In the Gardner Residence, Wendy was watching TV with her mother when Queenie, the unexpected visitor, came in.
Anna was still brooding about the incident with Queenie and Joseph, so she didn’t like Queenie much.
When Anna saw that it was Queenie, the smile on her face vanished. Her expression turned cold as she cast her a sideways glance and asked, “What are you doing here?”
The smile on Queenie’s face stiffened, but in order to please Anna, she pretended to be gentle and answered softly, “Well, Wendy’s birthday party is coming soon. I wanted to ask her what she likes so that I can prepare in advance.”
“You don’t have to bother with that. Please go back,” Anna said coldly, still not showing her any kindness.
Queenie stubbornly continued, “I’m Colton’s fiancée after all, so I have to take an interest in Wendy’s birthday.”
Anna was silent. When Wendy saw this, her expression eased a little.
“I don’t need any birthday gifts, as long as you attend the party.”
Seeing that Wendy was still speaking up for her, Queenie quickly smiled and sat down. “Of course I’ll come! Wendy, I’ll definitely attend your birthday party!”
When she noticed that Anna’s expression was mildly sour, she continued with a calm expression, “A few days ago, I contacted the people from Triton Studio and asked them to help customize a piece of jewelry. I wanted to give it to you to wear at the birthday party.”
At first, there was a dull expression on Wendy’s face, but when she heard the words ‘Triton Studio’, her expression immediately turned to one of joy as she widened her eyes and asked, “Really?”
Triton Studio was a well-known foreign studio. All of their jewelry was custom made by hand, but the most important thing was that they only made custom jewelry for the royal family. They wouldn’t accept any other orders no matter how rich one was.
Being able to wear jewelry designed by Triton Studio was a symbol of honor in itself.
“Yeah.” Queenie nodded and smiled.
It had taken her a lot of effort to find someone whom Triton Studio owed a favor to, and she had paid a lot of money to get them to agree.
When Anna heard what she said, her face finally eased a little as she said, “You finally did something good.”
