Chapter 159 Two Unlucky Omens

Nicole looked at the design draft for a while. For some reason, she felt a sudden discomfort in her head.

Immediately, she reached out her hands and rubbed her eyes. After thinking for a while, she simply stood up.

The events of the past few days weighed on her one after another—maybe she was just too tired.

Nicole decided to go out for a walk to let loose some of her uneasiness.

As soon as she walked out of the office, the people back in the office started to discuss amongst each other

excitedly and noisily.

“Have you heard about what happened on the Internet recently? Could it be possible that Lisa really wants to force

Daniella to a deadend?”

“Yeah, in Daniella’s video, she said that if Lisa didn’t withdraw her lawsuit, then she didn’t want to live anymore. If

Daniella actually dies, then would Lisa become the murderer?”

“Now that Daniella has lost her job and was kicked out of the Pinnacle Group, Lisa would just be pushing it if she still

doesn’t let go of her.”

They continued to comment on the incident in the office.

When Joanna returned and passed them by, she happened to hear their discussion. She was secretly happy

because she didn’t expect that Nicole was this unpopular among the rest. Whether she was right or wrong, people

still did not like her.

When she saw that they were going to continue discussing, she lazily said, “Okay, let’s not discuss these things

here. Lisa is an honored guest from F&M Apparel after all, so we can’t criticize her behind her back this way.”

When everyone heard Joanna’s words, they all stopped and turned to look at her.

“Joanna, you are such a good-natured and generous person. You are still standing on Lisa’s side to speak up for her

when her rumors are spreading like wildfire on the Internet.”

When she heard these compliments, Joanna just smiled slightly. She reached out and patted the man’s shoulder.

“It’s not that I speak up for Lisa; it’s that we are still cooperating with F&M Apparel, and we should cooperate well.

So don’t say anything that will get people in trouble,” Joanna said while scanning the crowd.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

……

Nicole came out of the company building. She wanted to go outside for a walk and come back, but the moment she

went out, she saw Queenie and William.

The two of them just got out of the car and were about to go inside when they bumped into Nicole.

Seeing them, Nicole frowned slightly and wanted to leave through the side, pretending as if she didn’t see them.

But William quickly grabbed her and said calmly, “Is this how you act when you see your biological father?”

William’s grip on her wrist was slightly strong, and her wrist hurt. Feeling his painful grip, Nicole withdrew her hand

while frowning uncontrollably and asked in a cold voice, “What? Should I politely call you Dad?”

William was angered by Nicole’s words. His expression distorted as he stared at her, and he scolded, “What are you

talking about? I am your dad!”

Nicole heard the slight anger in his voice, but smiled instead. She narrowed her eyes on him, and spat with a smirk,

“You kicked your own daughter out of the house, and won’t even help her when she’s down—what kind of father is

that?”

William’s entire body was trembling at Nicole’s words, and Queenie hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

“Nicole, watch how you speak to Dad! No matter what happened, he was the one who gave life to you. You must at

least have some respect for him!”

When faced with Queenie’s questioning, Nicole just raised her eyes lazily and uttered with a cold snort, “Out with it

already. I don’t have so much spare time to speak nonsense with you here.”

She might as well have stayed upstairs if she had known that she would meet these two unlucky omens when she

went downstairs.

William breathed a sigh of relief and finally stated the purpose of his trip. “Fine. Withdraw the lawsuit.”

When Nicole heard William’s words, she couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing. She looked at the person in front

of her with a smile on her face. How on Earth does he have the face to come to me and ask me to withdraw the

lawsuit? This is ridiculous!

“Why should I listen to you?” Nicole asked. “Or let’s put this this way: Who do you think you are to me?”
