Chapter 242 Don’t Worry
Nicole took a sip of tea to calm herself down, and she suppressed her desire for vulgarities. “Didn’t he suspect anything?” she asked after a while.
“Obviously not! He believes he did this to me while under the influence of alcohol and is now very concerned about me!”
Nicole lowered her head and took another sip of tea quietly. That guy is so unlucky to have met Julia, she thought.
She coughed lightly and intended to change the subject. After all, everything Julia said was outside of Nicole’s norms. “So you came back with him this time?” she inquired, raising her gaze.
Julia nodded. “It’s been a few months since we got together. All of his relatives are in the country, and since he’s returning to attend a banquet, we decided to meet his parents as well.”
Nicole sighed in response. She had not expected the couple’s progress to be so rapid, with them getting together so soon after they met and even meeting with his parents now.
But she couldn’t say anything about it. As a result, she could only say with her lips pursed, “I wish you happiness.”
Julia was pleased with it. With bright eyes and a smile by her lips, she said, “Oh—Nicole, come with me to a fun place later. I asked around about it before I returned, and I can assure you that it will be fun.”
Seeing Julia’s indecent smile, Nicole couldn’t help but ask, “Is it somewhere indecent?”
“How could you have thought of me in this way?” Julia was irritated by Nicole’s skeptical expression and she clutched her chest, pretending to be hurt.
Nicole was disgusted by Julia’s pretentious manner. “Okay, okay. Stop it. I’ll go anywhere with you,” she said quickly while waving her hand.
After Nicole agreed, Julia smiled, revealing her white teeth.
They hadn’t seen each other in over a year and as a result, they spent the entire afternoon catching up.
In fact, Julia did the majority of the talking. Nicole, on the other hand, was the listener who occasionally responded in a patronizing manner.
Julia even drank three full jars of water for all her talking!
…
Meanwhile, Queenie was dejected after leaving the Gardner Residence. She had chills all over her body and felt both hopeless and fortunate.
She wanted to do something good. Hence, she specifically searched Triton Studio to ensure that such a person existed. But it turned out that he had been dismissed.
Most importantly, Nicole had exposed her in front of Anna.
She was too embarrassed to see the Gardners again.
Lydia noticed Queenie looking frantic when she returned and guessed what had happened. “Why are you looking like this? Is there something wrong with Mrs. Gardner?”
When Queenie saw Lydia, all of the emotions she had been suppressing erupted. She burst into tears in Lydia’s embrace.
She was still feeling helpless and unsure of what to do. Colton had decided to cut all ties with her, while Anna’s and Wendy’s affection, which Queenie had worked hard to obtain, had also vanished.
It appeared that she had no way out.
Lydia, on the other hand, was heartbroken for Queenie when she saw her crying. Stroking her head, the older woman asked gently, “Queenie, did something happen when you were at the Gardner Residence?”
Queenie cried for a long time until her eyes were red. Then, she raised her head and said as she sobbed, “The person from Triton Studio that I previously found was an imposter! Nicole even revealed him on the spot. I’m too embarrassed to go see the Gardners now!”
Lydia was taken aback by this. How can that person be a fake? She recognised the gravity of the situation, but faced with her sobbing daughter, she had no choice but to console her. “Don’t worry, Queenie. Even if he is a forger, the situation is not out of control. You, too, were duped, and I don’t think Mrs. Gardner will blame you.”
