Chapter 410 Norman Clancy
Nicole was taken aback by what Betty said, and she tightened her grip on the phone. Indeed, Lydia and Queenie were capable of such a despicable act.
Betty, on the other hand, had an agonized expression on her face and her hands were on her head. She had no idea what she was fed at the time, but her head hurt every time she tried to remember anything.
“I was afraid of forgetting this, so I jotted it down in a notebook. But as time went on, I forgot about this notebook! Fortunately, I discovered it earlier today while cleaning the room,” Betty said as she flipped through her notebook.
On the other end of the line, Nicole could clearly hear the pages flipping as well.
After a short while, she heard Betty’s excited voice as the elderly woman exclaimed, “It’s here! I discovered it! Nicole, Lydia insisted on kicking me out of the house and framing your mother because your mother saw her having an affair with another man! As a result, she did so in order to keep us from telling William!
Nicole froze when she heard that. It had never occurred to her that Lydia, who was a mistress herself, would cuckold her father.
Her mother’s non-existent affair at the time was all concocted by Lydia!
Nicole’s eyes were filled with rage and her lips were pursed. Her voice was also muffled. However, her first priority now was to deal with Pierre. She could only put her mind to Lydia’s matter after Pierre’s was resolved.
Thus, after a few moments of thought, Nicole relaxed her furrowed brows and said hoarsely, “Hide the notebook first, Ms. Betty. I have something else to deal with now, but I’ll look for you next week. Then we’ll get to the bottom of it.”
Betty nodded in agreement. She took a pen from the table and scribbled on the notebook, ‘Nicole will be here next week,’ followed by the time.
After writing it down, she tore this page from the book and stuck it onto the most visible part of her bed frame.
“Okay, Nicole. Take good care of yourself,” Betty reminded Nicole as Betty slipped the small notebook into her pocket.
“I will. Thank you, Ms. Betty. I’ll bring my son to visit you once my matters here are settled,” Nicole replied.
She had no intention of delaying Pierre’s case any longer. After a few days, when he was no longer on alert, she would deliver a fatal blow and completely destroy him.
Such a person deserved neither compassion nor pity.
As for Norman, if it was eventually discovered that he played a part in framing White, Nicole would undoubtedly make him pay his dues.
She then raised her head to look at the sky, trying to calm herself down.
To her, the sky that night appeared to be an entire black curtain devoid of any lights.
…
Two days had passed with Nicole staying at the Gardner Residence doing nothing. Her days were spent bringing Hayden around to play with Benedict and having their usual meals.
Pierre expected Nicole to take advantage of this opportunity to clear her name, but to his surprise, she kept her cool.
Finally, on the third day, she began her plan.
First up, Nicole called Norman.
He was surprised to receive her call, and it was as if he couldn’t believe Nicole would call him.
“Norman, I ran into some difficulties. Could you help me if you have the time?” she asked slowly. A faint smile appeared on her face, but her voice was exceptionally solemn.
Hearing that, the man reflexively felt guilty, but thanks to his many years of experience as the hospital director and dealing with difficult situations, he was able to calm himself down quickly.
“Oh, Nicole. It has been a long time since I’ve heard from you! I almost couldn’t recognize your voice now.”
Nicole, however, merely hummed dejectedly. She then sniffed and, in a slightly choked voice, she asked, “Norman, I’ve been framed. Could you help me?”
