Chapter 331 We’ll See
When the news first came out, Sarah didn’t respond with any statement on her end. A few of the netizens began to suspect that the rumors were legitimate after that. After all, the company could have easily made a statement if the rumors were not true. They could post a lawyer’s letter or a personal statement. Yet, they remained silent even after a long while. Soon enough, a few of the companies that had requested Sarah to be their ambassador started to contact her. They wanted compensation fees from her company.
On the other hand, Nicole was sitting outside on her balcony as she sipped on some tea in a leisurely and sophisticated manner.
“Why didn’t you post all of the information at once, Nicole? We could’ve completely destroyed Sarah’s career,” Whitney uttered with a dissatisfied tone. She was still mad at the harsh words that Sarah and Yvonne had said in the restaurant. If it had been up to her, she would have uploaded all of Sarah’s nasty stuff to the Internet!
Nicole sat in a prim and proper manner as she lifted the cup of tea and brought it to her lips. She blew on it a few times before tilting the cup and sipping on the liquid. After a mouthful of tea, she started explaining herself. “You always have to give others a chance, Whitney. All she did was look down on us, so all I was doing was teaching her a small lesson.”
She looked down to conceal the slight disappointment she felt. She had once been good friends with Sarah when they were at school. Back then, Nicole’s family was poor and couldn’t afford anything for her. However, Sarah was nice enough to give her some gifts and offer her some food every now and then. Nicole had genuinely treated Sarah as her best friend back then, but it was a shame that she now had to face the harsh reality.
Sarah managed to get her hands on Nicole’s contact number. She sounded extremely mad once she got on a call with Nicole. “Were you the one who uploaded those things on the Internet, Nicole?!” she hissed through gritted teeth.
“Yeah.” Nicole didn’t bother hiding it at all.
Sarah was fuming after hearing Nicole’s response. “Why did you do that, Nicole?!”
Nicole smiled as she lowered her gaze. “I didn’t start any false rumors about you. I was just stating facts on the Internet.”
Sarah could feel her insides burning with fire. She wished she could murder Nicole through the phone! “Do you think you’re going to destroy me just like that? You can’t do it with such minor issues. Hmph!”
Nicole didn’t intend to crush Sarah’s career with a tiny incident like this, so she simply smirked as she spoke. “Well, Ann has already signed an initial contract with you, so you should pay us the compensation fees within the next few days. I’ll have to find a new ambassador too, you know?”
Sarah nearly burst out in anger after hearing Nicole’s light-hearted tone. However, she managed to contain herself as there were a lot of people around her. “Just you wait, Nicole. I’m not going to allow you to live an easy life after you’ve meddled in mine!” she smirked and thought, It’s not that I can’t deal with Nicole. I just haven’t found the right time! I was working with Kylie and Joanna for F&M Apparel’s ambassadorship at first. They might not have the power to help me regain the ambassadorship, but they probably have some ways to drag Nicole down!
“Sarah, this is just a warning to you. I was playing nice this time since you were once my classmate. You should be careful if you have other ulterior motives or ill intentions. If you let me find out about those, your punishment is going to be more than just plagiarism,” Nicole warned in a calm tone. She didn’t seem bothered by Sarah’s threats at all.
Since Sarah had come to this point, she decided that she would have to stand up for herself so that Nicole could no longer threaten her. Many other artists plagiarized certain content as well, yet they didn’t have any issues.
“We’ll see how it goes!” Sarah hissed.
