Chapter 175 Am I Going to Be Exposed?
It never occured to Queenie that a recording of her conversation with Daniella would be leaked onto the Internet!
After the recording finished playing, all the women at the table exchanged looks with each other, and they reckoned that Queenie didn’t look so good now because the news of Nicole’s innocence was published after the Andersons had just severed ties with her in the morning.
Hence, they quickly consoled her. “Queenie, this is not a big deal. Forget it since you’ve already severed ties with her. She’s not the only daughter of the Anderson Family, anyway.”
“Exactly. Queenie, we can’t be sure if this recording is real. Maybe someone made it purposely to whitewash her.”
Clutching her fists tightly, Queenie was the only one who knew that this recording was real—it was her conversation with Daniella.
She thought that she had carried out everything seamlessly, but there was actually a recording! The look on her face turned very solemn as she thought, Who’s the one who uploaded this recording?!
Using a few seconds to recollect herself, she then used the excuse they gave her to get out of the awkward situation. Her eyes twitched a couple of times unnaturally as she forced out a smile. “That’s true, but I still need to inform my father about such an important thing. Let’s call it a day. I’m going home first,” she said and left.
After she left, the faces which were respectful earlier instantly turned into sneers as they spoke in sarcasm.
“They severed ties in the morning, and it turns out that Lisa is innocent. It’s no wonder she looks so bad.”
“Wasn’t it mentioned before that Lisa was chased out of the Anderson Family five years ago and just came back now? Because of her position as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, the Andersons shamelessly acknowledged her again, yet Lisa got into trouble just a few days later. Now that she’s been proven innocent after they’ve severed ties, they must be regretting it.”
“Tsk, even Gardner Apparel have to rely on Lisa now. This time, the Andersons have really been penny-wise but pound-foolish!”
“Shh, Queenie has the Gardner Family as her backing now. It’s better if we don’t gossip so much about her.”
Back home, Queenie listened to the recording a few times, and when she was sure that it was indeed her conversation with Daniella, she broke out in cold sweat from the fright. Is this purely just a voice recording, or is there a video recording as well?
Hurriedly, she went to look for Lydia and told her everything that happened.
After Lydia listened to her, panic washed over her face, and she knitted her brows as she chided, “Queenie, how can you leave such a huge piece of evidence behind?”
“I didn’t know that there was this recording! Mom, what we should be worried about now is whether this is only a voice recording. If it also has a video recording, then I’ll have to go to jail!” Queenie cried, panic-stricken. Even though she had disguised herself, she might still be recognized by someone.
“You’re too careless!” Lydia chided in disappointment. With such a huge piece of evidence, if she’s ruled as the murderer, then she might spend the rest of her life in jail!
“It’s still alright if it’s only voice recording. I purposely suppressed my voice at that time, and the voice which was recorded was very soft as well. No one will know it’s me,” Queenie assured.
However, she couldn’t assure now if this was purely a voice recording or a video recording.
Lydia thought for a while and said, “Calm down for now. It must be Nicole who published this. Lay low, and I’ll find the chance to sound her out.” Since she couldn’t endanger Queenie now, she had to do this herself.
Nodding helplessly, Queenie thought, If this matter is exposed, I’ll have to go to jail! I don’t want to go to jail!
Therefore, she could only take Lydia’s advice and lay low for a few days. If Nicole really had a video recording in her hands, then the result would be unimaginable.
On the evening after the news broke out, Nicole received a call from Lydia. However, Nicole was not the least surprised because it was Lydia’s precious daughter who did this after all.
“Nicole, there’s something I would like to speak with you about. May we meet for a while tomorrow afternoon?” Lydia asked politely.
“Huh? Do you think that I have so much free time?” Nicole asked instead with a grin.
Using an earnest tone, Lydia pleaded, “Just for a short while. You can pick the place, and any other condition you have is fine.”
Lowering her gaze, Nicole smirked and said, “3.00PM tomorrow at the coffee house in the city center. I won’t wait for you if you’re late.”
