Chapter 155 Reveal the Mastermind
Daniella was stunned for a moment. Then, she secretly glanced at Colton, who was standing next to Nicole. Feeling
her palms were sweaty, Daniella pursed her lips and did not utter any more words.
Everyone knows Queenie is Colton’s fiancée. If I am to really rat out Queenie, I’m afraid that the Gardner
Corporation will not let me off easily regardless of whether they believe me or not. Furthermore, I also don’t
understand. What grudges do Queenie and Nicole have, considering the two of them seem to be in an intense fight
with one another?
At the thought of that, Daniella glanced at Colton. Could he be the root cause of it all?
After thinking about it for a long time, Daniella still maintained her story. “Miss Lisa, no one instructed me. At first, I
just thought that if no one stood up against plagiarism, this trend would continue on…”

Upon hearing that, Nicole narrowed her eyes faintly, and her sharp gaze shot back and forth on Daniella.
Meanwhile, Daniella was also growing uncomfortable with Nicole’s gaze. The present Nicole had certainly changed
a lot compared to when she first met her. At this moment, she had become a bit assertive…
Later, Nicole pursed her lips and said lightly, “Since you refuse to say anything, rest and recover so that you won’t
be too sickly when you have to face the judge.”
Daniella’s face turned even paler. I’m already injured, yet Nicole still won’t even consider letting me off the hook.
Daniella’s heart stiffened a bit. She simply felt hopeless and decided to go all out. With her neck straightened, she
said, “Miss Lisa, I’m already in a destitute situation. Won’t you let me go? Seeing as I’ve been fired from the
Pinnacle Group and is now jobless, what else do you want from me? Could it be true that you wish to see me six
feet under?”
Nicole hurriedly shook her head, hands placed on her chest while she pretended to be afraid. Then, she denied by
saying, “I don’t have such intentions. Don’t slander me.”
Staring at Daniella’s pale face, Nicole added hastily, “Not only am I Lisa, I’m also the Chief Designer of F&M
Apparel. The moment you falsely claimed this design draft, you should have known the consequences you signed
up for!”
Nicole’s comment took the last ounce of blood on Daniella’s face. Her lips trembled, and she said through gritted
teeth, “Even if you were to sue me now, you won’t be able to reclaim the reputation you had before!”
Upon hearing that, Nicole smiled indifferently, and she raised her voice. “You falsely claimed to be the owner of the
design draft. Do you know this one claim of yours can easily put you behind bars for a few years? Meanwhile, the
public opinion will simply fade into the wind within a few days, or at most a week.”
Instantaneously, Daniella found herself without any bargaining chips left to threaten Nicole with.
Upon realizing that, Daniella felt utterly hopeless. She squeezed her hands on the hospital bed tightly.
Sensing that she could no longer persuade Nicole, Daniella could only find another way to solve it.
And thus, Daniella turned her head to the side, closed her eyes slightly, and said, “I’m going to continue resting.
Miss Lisa, President Gardner, you may take your leave first if there’s nothing else to discuss about.”
Even so, Nicole continued. “You still have about a week to reconsider it. If you have decided by then and tell me, I
will withdraw the case. Otherwise, I’ll see you in court.”
With that, Nicole left with Colton.

made a phone call immediately.
At the same time, Colton did not say a word from start to end. It was as if he was there as an audience to witness
the whole play.
After exiting the ward, Nicole could not help but be a little curious. “You followed me here, but there’s nothing you
wish to ask about?”
In a low voice, Colton laughed, and he put his hands in his pockets. “At least when I’m here, you won’t be painted
maliciously.”
At once, Nicole caught on to what Colton had meant. Is he implying the incident whereby Daniella edited the
recording of my voice maliciously last time?
Unable to hold back, Nicole burst out laughing. She looked at Colton with a smile adorning her face. “Is that so?
Well, thank you, President Gardner.”
“You’re very welcome. After all, you are the backbone of the Gardner Corporation now. We must cherish and
protect you at all cost,” Colton said in a relaxing voice, but his words carried heavy meaning.
