Chapter 168 News Spreading Like Wildfire
Early the next day.
Although Colton intentionally wanted to suppress the news, the incident had become too hot recently. It was almost as if it had grown its own legs, and it instantly filled the Internet in the morning.
Topics that flooded the internet included: ‘Lisa Refused to Withdraw the Lawsuit, Causing Daniella to Commit Suicide by Swallowing Sleeping Pills’, ‘A Life Was Lost Because One Refused to Withdraw the Lawsuit’, and ‘Lisa Is a Murderer’.
Originally, after Daniella failed to commit suicide, there was a lot of discussion about Nicole on the Internet. Now that Daniella had died, no matter what the reason, not only the media, but even netizens agreed that it was Nicole’s fault.
Suddenly, Nicole’s personal account was flooded with negative comments.
Nicole turned off her phone after a few glances. After all, looking at these things for a long time would affect her mood.
Colton’s villa was big, and there was a huge balcony on the second floor. Nicole and Hayden were both here, so Whitney also moved here. Fortunately, there were many rooms in this villa, so they naturally had room for her.
Colton went out early in the morning. Nicole took her son and Whitney to bask in the sun on the open-air balcony.
The weather was just fine today. The sun was out, but it wasn’t very hot.
While Nicole was basking in the sun, the phone rang. She thought there was some news from Colton, but she didn’t expect Zachary to call.
Nicole turned her head and glanced at Whitney, who quickly denied it. “I didn’t tell him anything! Now that the news is everywhere, maybe President Yates saw it himself.”
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled. “I haven’t even said who is calling me, and yet you are admitting it?”
Whitney felt that she seemed too worked up and touched her nose in embarrassment.
Hayden laughed at the side. “You idiot!”
Was I just laughed at by both the mother and son?
After Nicole finished teasing her, she hid aside and answered the phone.
“Nicky, why didn’t you tell me about such a huge thing?” Zachary did not use his usual gentle tone, and his words held a tone of questioning.
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled. She lowered her voice. “I didn’t kill anyone, so I don’t have anything huge to report.”
“But the current public opinion is against you, and there are even some rumors over here,” Zachary said helplessly, reaching out and rubbing the tip of his nose, feeling a little tired.
Although Zachary had deliberately suppressed his voice, Nicole could still hear his exhaustion, so she comforted, “Zach, I will handle this matter myself. You don’t have to worry, and just focus on your own affairs.”
Zachary sighed deeply as he lamented, “If I had known that so many things would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you work at the Gardners.”
Indeed, if she hadn’t gone to the Gardner Corporation, there wouldn’t be so many things happening right now.
“It’s no use regretting what has already happened.” Nicole smiled.
“I heard Whitney say that you moved to Colton’s. Well, at least no one dares to go against Colton directly in the country,” Zachary said slowly, his whole body overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness.
When the woman he loved was in trouble, he couldn’t help her at all, so he could only make a phone call to show how much he cared.
Zachary evoked a self-deprecating smile—he was really a useless man!
“Zach, you don’t have to worry about me. When I finish working with the Gardner Corporation this time, I will return to F&M Apparel,” Nicole comforted him. Too much had happened these days.
“Okay, fine. But if you face any difficulty, you have to tell me right away, and I can return to the country to help you out,” Zachary said seriously.
Nicole laughed. She knew Zachary was too busy to take care of himself now, but he still worried about her. When she thought about this, she softened her voice and said, “You don’t have to care about these little things, okay? It will be dealt with soon.”
