Chapter 405 Trust
‘Quisling!’ ‘Nicole Anderson is a traitor!’ ‘Anderson disregards human lives!’
At some point, these comments started appearing on the Internet. Even though the authorities didn’t have a
concrete result yet, it exploded to the point where everyone thought it was Nicole who did it just because she was
detained. Someone had also been fanning the flames from behind the scenes.
It was easy for matters that could potentially affect thousands of lives to arouse the anger of the public.
There were even numerous people who came out and demanded her to have the death penalty despite her not
being convicted yet.

Even though she was arrested, her life in jail was still a pleasant one where she was fed, clothed, and served as she
usually would due to a lack of evidence and, of course, the Gardner Family’s backing.
Knowing how fervent the discussions about her were, Colton couldn’t help feeling worried, and he paid her a visit.
“The world is saying that you are a traitor. This is only getting worse. Your reputation may be completely ruined if
we don’t stop it in time,” he tentatively told her.
The corners of Nicole’s lips lifted. She didn’t seem bothered at all as she raised her eyebrows and told him, “The
reason people are so angry is only because they think I am the thief. Pierre intentionally adding fuel to the flames is
exactly to smear my name.”
Seeing how unconcerned she was, he asked curiously, “But you can’t find evidence when you are in jail. All the
‘evidence’ available is of Pierre’s doing.”
“I have the evidence. I am just waiting for the right time.” Nicole languidly leaned backward on the stool she sat on.
Colton suddenly felt that he had been worrying in vain these days. He initially thought that she was doomed this
time, but he didn’t expect her to still be in high spirits and exuding confidence.
Wiping off the worry on his face, he intertwined his slender fingers and clasped his hands together with slight force.
He then softly asked, “Is there anything I can do for you now, Miss Nicole?”
Hearing that, she unhesitantly requested, “Help me get out of here on account of insufficient evidence, but not
because I was not the one who stole the data.”
Colton narrowed his dark eyes which looked deep and unpredictable at the moment, but he soon beamed. “Nicky,
you are trying to draw the snake out of its hole.”
Nicole didn’t deny it either, and her bright gaze looked scheming.
“Of course I can’t just sit here and wait. Since he wants me to have a hard time, there is no reason I should let him
enjoy his life.”
Colton, who found it interesting how stealthy like a kitten she was right then, nodded and hummed. “Okay.”
It wouldn’t be hard for someone of his status and caliber to get her out of jail.
However, she would have to put up with people cursing her out once she was released.
As this was too big an incident and it was a national issue, a special investigation team had to be set up.

Colton brought Nicole back to the Gardner Residence out of fear that she would be attacked back at her own place.
She didn’t refuse it either. After all, she hadn’t been here to take care of Benedict since that time she operated on
him. Now seemed like a good time to come.
Anna believed that Nicole was innocent. As soon as she saw her, she immediately had a tender expression on her
face. She even stepped forward and gently held Nicole’s hands as she comforted,
“Nicole, the Gardners are on your side in this. We will prove your innocence. Don’t you worry, child!”
Upon hearing that, Nicole felt a warmth through her chest as the tip of her nose burned for no reason. She swiftly
lowered her head, her eyelashes hiding the emotions that flashed across her eyes.
“Thank you for believing in me, Mrs. Gardner.”
Anna nodded and pulled Nicole along with her. “I know the kind of person you are after getting along with you these
few days. You would never do something like this!”
