Chapter 166 Cheeky Little Kid
After Whitney left with Hayden, the smile on Nicole’s face loosened. She looked at Tony with a slightly solemn expression.
“Mr. Larson, what exactly is going on?”
Tony explained, “At first, President Gardner was afraid that something would happen to Daniella, so he asked me to send someone to watch over her. About two days ago, the people I sent reported that they hadn’t seen Daniella, and we didn’t want to alert the enemy, so we had been watching over her from afar until today’s court session.”
Nicole pretty much understood what happened. Her face softened a little, and she asked, “When did she die?”
“About two days ago, but because the air conditioner was turned on in the room and the door was still locked, no one found out. Today, I sensed something was really wrong and instructed them to break in,” Tony explained in detail.
With Tony’s explanation, Nicole more or less understood the situation, so she nodded. “I heard from President Gardner that there were sleeping pills on the table.”
“Yes, I also found an empty pack of sleeping pills on the table. Apart from the existing wound on her wrist, she didn’t have other wounds, so I guessed it was an overdose of sleeping pills,” Tony answered honestly.
Nicole felt that this was going to be troublesome. Overdosing on sleeping pills sounded obviously like a case of suicide.
Nicole sighed with a foul expression. “I see.”
Tony looked at Nicole’s tired appearance and continued respectfully, “Miss Nicole, please rest here for the next few days. You don’t need to think too much about this matter, as President Gardner will handle it properly. If you have any specific matters, you can wait for President Gardner to come back in the evening to discuss them together.”
“Yeah,” Nicole responded with a faint smile. “President Gardner is very much to thank for this matter.”
“Miss Nicole, rest well first. You don’t look so good,” Tony said. “If there is anything you need me to do, you can call me at any time.”
Nicole nodded. The current information was indeed a bit too much, so she had to digest it well. She nodded and replied, “Okay, Mr. Larson. Thank you for your help.”
…
Upstairs, Hayden and Whitney were sitting face to face, and Hayden’s face no longer had the innocent smile he had when he was downstairs.
He looked a little serious as he stared at Whitney for a long time.
“Tell me. What happened to Mommy?” Hayden asked.
Listening to his little adult-like tone, Whitney was a little dumbfounded. She stretched out her hand and pinched Hayden’s round face while saying with a smile, “You are one cheeky little kid, aren’t you?”
Hayden swatted Whitney’s hand away with some disgust. His delicate and small brows were slightly wrinkled, and he said, dissatisfied, “I’m talking to you about something serious!”
“You’re really not cute at all,” Whitney complained.
Back then, she shouldn’t have taught Hayden how to hack just because they were bored at home. Now, because of this skill, he could find out about a lot of things and even thought he was an adult, obviously losing his cuteness from before.
“Don’t change the topic,” Hayden said solemnly. Although he was young, he was very imposing.
“I read on the Internet that Daniella Zimmer committed suicide because Mommy refused to withdraw the lawsuit. Now that she’s moving in such a panic, I guess it’s because the woman is dead.”
The child sounded a bit funny because of the deliberately lowered voice.
Whitney nodded without concealment. She looked at Hayden and asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
Hayden lowered his eyes. His thin eyelashes fanned out, looking pitch-black. Solemnly, he said, “I’ve seen the woman’s medical files. There was only a minor cut when she committed suicide last time, which showed that she couldn’t bear the pain. This person definitely did not commit suicide. I won’t let Mommy be put in danger!”
Whitney glanced at the little brat in front of her. He was young but smart, and he could already point out the key points in merely a few words.
