Chapter 182 Cut the Pretense

Seeing the smirk on Nicole’s face, Lydia felt her heart fall. Is there really a video recording? Then, she forced out a

smile. “That’s good if it’s real. Too many things have happened in the past couple of days, and I’m worried that it

will do you bad if this recording was fake.”

Relaxing her brows, Nicole thought, Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re up to. “President Gardner was the one

who gave it to me. Of course it’s real.”

The expression on Lydia’s face changed, and she looked really uneasy. Opening her mouth, she uttered the words

in disbelief, “Colton Gardner?”

“Yes, who else can it be?” Just as Nicole wished, she saw that Lydia’s face had turned sullen.

Lydia held her fists tightly. I didn’t expect that Colton could actually have something like this, she thought, but let out

a sigh of relief at the same time. If it’s Colton, he would have exposed it long ago if this voice recording was also a

video recording. But since there’s nothing else going on, it shows that this is purely a voice recording.

“That’s good as well. For Queenie’s sake, President Gardner will help you to investigate this matter thoroughly,”

Lydia said, trying to convince herself as well as others.

With a grin hanging on her face, Nicole cast her a glance and took a sip of coffee in amusement. After that, she

said in sarcasm, “Well, since when does Queenie have such a huge influence?”

Chuckling, Lydia said relentlessly, “Queenie is President Gardner’s fiancée, and he has to help you out since you’re

her elder sister.”

Nicole clicked her tongue as she placed back her cup and stirred her coffee a couple of times with the spoon,

staring down at the steam fuming from her coffee.

“If President Gardner was doing it for Queenie’s sake, he wouldn’t have given me this recording at all.”

The muscles on Lydia’s face froze, and she acted dumb to what Nicole was hinting at as she said, “It’s good that

things have been cleared up and your innocence is proven. Daniella did this to herself, and we can’t blame anyone

for it.”

“You can’t put it that way. If nobody came up with this plan in the background, Daniella wouldn’t have ended up

dead.”

With the smirk still on her face, Nicole had a tinge of amusement flash across her eyes as she watched the woman

in front of her steadily.

On the other hand, Lydia could only feign ignorance. “Yeah, the person in the background is so evil!”

Nicole took a peek at the time. Later, she had to go with Colton to his house and bring that rascal back. Thus, she

didn’t have so much time to beat around the bush with Lydia here.

“Yeah. If this is all you wanted to talk about, then we’re done now. I have to go to the Gardner Residence with

Colton later. I’m leaving.”

Her words made Lydia doubt if she had heard her correctly, and she jerked her head up, staring at her unblinking.

“Colton? The Gardner Residence?”

Annoying Lydia was exactly what Nicole wanted, and she had intentionally called Colton directly by his name to

make her seem more intimate with him.

Nodding, she said leisurely, “Yeah, I’m going there for dinner. What’s up? Would you like to join as well, madam?”

Despite Lydia’s efforts to suppress her anger, there was a layer of fury in her eyes, and she slammed the table,

hissing through a tightened jaw, “Colton Gardner is your sister’s fiancé! How can you be so shameless?”

“Shouldn’t you be asking Colton this question? What’s the point of yelling at me?” Nicole said with a giggle, and

there was no sign of anxiety on her delicately dolled-up face. Standing up, she lowered her head and straightened

her clothes before she swept her eyes over Lydia, who was hopping mad. The exhilaration in her heart doubled,

and she continued speaking with her red lips. “Lydia, keep your daughter in check. The police are still investigating

the recording, so you’d better make sure she hides her tracks well. Otherwise, if anything turns up from the

investigations, she’ll be the one put behind bars,” she said in indifference.

Instantly, Lydia sprang to her feet as well and met her eyes, barking, “Don’t spout nonsense here. Even if you have

a recording, it has nothing to do with Queenie at all!”

“Aren’t you here today to find out about this recording from me? Cut your pretense because there’s no need for

that between us. So, you can keep away your disgusting face.” After saying that, Nicole didn’t want to hang around

any longer as she turned around and left directly.
