Chapter 416 Fainted
Nicole thought she could finally find out the identity of the person who was behind all of these once she caught the
security guard framing her. In the end, it turned out the security guard was only receiving a tremendous amount of
reward from the man behind and never saw the culprit in person.
The culprit asked him to leave no traces and blame everything on Nicole. However, she came back earlier than he
expected, so he couldn’t transfer the data in time. He was originally attempting to transfer the data for a second
time when the others were busy interrogating Nicole, but he was arrested instead.
Even now, he couldn’t think of the reason why he was caught by the surveillance cameras even if he had cut off the
power supply.
Nicole sneered at his confused look and sent him a sarcastic smile. “I have a feeling such a thing would happen, so I
set up an uninterruptible power supply in the lab. It will provide emergency power to the surveillance cameras
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen the main power supply fails.”
She thought she could root out the organization opposing her this time, but Pierre denied his involvement in the
matter. As for Norman, she only had solid evidence of him regarding what happened to White back in the past.
Even though she was hoping Norman would rat Pierre out, Norman wasn’t revealing anything and denying every
accusation against him.
He denied everything with a stern look, even if they were showing him the proof.
At first, Pierre never expected Norman to be arrested until he learned that Nicole was setting them up from the
news. Raging, he slammed his hand on the table and made a loud thud.
Even though Norman did not betray him for the time being, Pierre knew he needed to be prepared. Or else, once
Norman knew Pierre wasn’t planning to save him, he no doubt would turn on Pierre and sell Pierre to Nicole.
Meanwhile, Nicole recalled Betty’s words once she had dealt with Norman. Bringing along Hayden, she set off to
Betty’s place.
Betty was living in a small and shabby apartment. The exterior walls were painted red, but it was hard to tell as they
were mottled with age, with some even peeling off.
The door gate was made of iron, but it already rusted over years.
Nicole reached out her hand and knocked lightly on the gate before noticing the door wasn’t locked up. It ended up
opening just like that.
Hayden was standing behind Nicole as he poked his head out with a curious look. Today, he was here to see an
important person to his mother. Scanning his surroundings, he concluded he had come to an old place and was
curious to see what kind of person the owner was.
The iron door creaked open, revealing the interior.
Raising her voice, Nicole called out to the owner as she stepped inside. “Ms. Betty?”
More From The Web
Nobody answered her. The house seemed empty with its owner nowhere to be found.
The house was rather small, and the living area was integrated with the kitchen. Even though the room seemed old,
Betty kept the interior organized and tidy, which expressed a hint of a warm and cozy vibe.
Staring at the shut door, Nicole stepped closer to it as she called out again into the bedroom, “Ms. Betty? Are you
there?”
I told her I’ll be visiting today during our phone call yesterday. I don’t think she would’ve gone out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDoubts were creeping into Nicole’s mind when she pushed the bedroom door open and found a person lying on the
floor. The scene startled her and she immediately rushed over to check on the woman.
Pressing a hand onto Betty’s neck, Nicole let out a sigh of relief when she felt the faint pulsing.
She took a moment to do a quick check on Betty and found no obvious wounds on the woman. It turned out that
Betty simply fainted, but she needed to do a body check at the hospital to find out the cause.
Nicole helped the unconscious woman to get on the bed and tucked the woman in before her gaze rested on the
note sticking to the headboard.
The note was a reminder that Nicole and Hayden would be visiting Betty today. Nicole felt a pang of sadness looking
at the note, but couldn’t make out the cause.
Noticing her sudden silence, he joined her beside the bed and pulled her sleeve, asking, “Mom, what’s going on?”
Nicole shook her head. She had no idea what the cause of Betty’s passing out would be, but she was glad to see
there wasn’t any wound on Betty after a quick check.
Nicole grabbed a stool nearby and sat at the bedside before giving Betty another examination. A moment later, she
allowed herself to relax after she made sure there was nothing serious about Betty, aside from her fainting.
Hayden was sitting in Nicole’s lap, and she had her arms around him as they waited. About half an hour later, Betty
finally woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes to get used to the surroundings and Nicole came into her view at her first glance. Much
to Nicole’s surprise, Betty was staring at her in confusion instead of the expected happiness to see her and Hayden.
