Chapter 85 Trouble Seeker
Smiling, Nicole stood up and walked toward Queenie with her eyes tinged with disdain.
“I came back this time with no intention of setting myself against you, but there’s nothing I can do if you continue being insensible,” she blurted coldly.
As Nicole said that, her face darkened as the smile in her eyes was replaced with frostiness.
In fact, she had already given Queenie many chances before this—from the first time when Hayden was kidnapped, until this time when Queenie set her up.
Nicole felt she had already been very tolerant toward Queenie. If Nicole were to continue to let her be, Queenie might have the guts to threaten her life one day.
Since you are still unable to learn how to behave, then don’t blame me for being hostile.
“Since you kept insisting on coming to Gardner Corporation, you must have a motive for doing so, am I correct?” Queenie lifted her head to stare at Nicole and retorted. With her dark eyes filled with anger, she clenched her fists as she recalled how Colton did not even want to see her ever since the incident between her and Joseph occurred.
Even when she went up to Colton’s office today, she was stopped by Tony Larson, Colton’s personal assistant, so she couldn’t blow up at him either. As a result, her pent-up anger could not burst forth.
Although Nicole was not too interested in Colton, she did not deny Queenie’s question when she perceived her aggrievance.
So, she amusingly replied, “Even if I’m actually interested in Colton, what can you do?”
Nicole went back to her seat, leaned against the chair, and placed her chin on her hand. Then, she smiled and continued, “I’m the chief designer of F&M Apparel. With this identity, there’s nothing you can do about me!”
Queenie trembled in rage upon being provoked by Nicole. In fact, Nicole was telling the truth. As long as she held the position of chief designer in Gardner Corporation, there was nothing Queenie could do about her no matter how hard she tried.
Nevertheless, her helplessness did not mean that Nicole could do as she pleased.
“Joanna is coming back in a few days. Do you think she’ll let you off after you get rid of her subordinates? We shall wait and see, Nicole!” After Queenie was done with her sentence, her gaze fell on the design draft on Nicole’s desk.
Nevertheless, she quickly averted her gaze after casting a glimpse.
At the same time, her eyes darkened. She had heard through the grapevine that Nicole was recently helping Wendy to design a dress for her graduation party.
As the most loved child in the Gardner Family, Wendy was pampered ever since young and was given the best things in all aspects. Thus, if there were to be an issue with this dress…
The only reason Nicole is so arrogant right now is that she holds the title of the chief designer of F&M Apparel. Since that’s the case, I shall sabotage her and see how else she can oppose me!
The best way to sabotage a designer was to frame him or her for committing plagiarism.
If Nicole was deemed culpable for plagiarizing, she would not be able to continue her designer career, let alone stay in F&M Apparel.
At this thought, Queenie’s sulkiness was dismissed at once. She lifted her head and sneered haughtily, “Mind you, your good days are coming to an end. By the time Colton discovered the affair between you and Joseph five years ago, I bet he’ll want nothing to do with you!”
Nevertheless, Nicole was not stirred up when she heard Queenie bring up this matter. Instead, she was rather calm.
“Do you know why I was safe and sound even after being poisoned by your mother?”
Queenie hurriedly denied it when Nicole mentioned the incident. “Stop your nonsense! Since when did my mother poison you?!”
Perceiving Queenie’s stubborn denial, Nicole did not mind it at all and continued, “The drug indeed took effect on me that night and I was suffering. But fortunately, President Gardner brought me home toward the end and took care of me throughout the night.”
After spitting the sentence word by word, Nicole smiled even brighter when she saw the rage that appeared again on Queenie’s face.
“In the end, it’s you who have done us the favor. Thank you, my dear sister.”
Queenie’s face turned as dark as coal when she heard Nicole’s words. She was so infuriated that she was at a loss for words.
If Nicole really had sex with Colton…
At this thought, Queenie couldn’t help scowling, “You debaucherous slut!”
With that, she slammed the door shut and left.
Watching Queenie walk out of the office, Nicole lifted her brows and thought the former was insane.
Did she come all the way here just to pick a fight with me?
