Chapter 474 No Delays Allowed

Julia had planned to go abroad once her pregnancy was stable. However, Nicole didn’t want her to go too soon

after she found out what Richard was up to.

After all, Julia seemed to want to completely cut ties with Richard.

“Julia, how about you give it a few more days before you go? Now that Queenie has made it public that she will be

marrying Colton, I am worried that someone will try to pull something underhanded. Can you keep me company?”

Nicole had found a random excuse to make Julia stay.

Julia knew Nicole well. Knowing that Nicole’s sister from a different mother was not one to be trifled with, Julia

ultimately agreed after hesitating for a bit.

Nicole didn’t hold back at all when designing the gown for Queenie. She had carefully adorned the gown with

seemingly anything expensive.

Colton, on the other hand, didn’t mind the high cost. He had even given Nicole the permission to unleash her

creativity.

However, there was an uninvited guest at the office today—Joanna.

She had rarely made an appearance after the Aimee International incident. It was always Scarlett who acted as her

messenger that came when Joanna needed something.

For whatever reason, some wind must have blown her all the way to the office today.

She stood with her back straight at the entrance. Compared to the past, she didn’t look that confident now.

“What is it, Director Schmidt?” Nicole languidly threw out a question when she saw Joanna.

Lips pursed, Joanna looked at Nicole for a long minute before she seemingly plucked up her courage and took a

step forward with a solemn face.

“Nicole, do you not have any sense of crisis now?”

Nicole looked confused after hearing her words. Why would I? she thought before the corners of her mouth curled

upward, and she smilingly asked in return, “What ‘sense of crisis’ are you suggesting I need to have?”

“Queenie is about to get married to President Gardner! Are you going to just watch them get married without doing

anything?” Joanna spat through clenched teeth.

She had never imagined there would come a day Queenie really would get married to Colton. She didn’t

understand why this was happening. It wasn’t like Queenie was better than her in any way!

As Nicole looked at the jealous expression on Joanna’s face, she began to recall the time Joanna and Queenie had

colluded and tried to sabotage her when she first came to the Gardner Corporation. But now, Joanna is here to join

hands with me instead? It actually amazed Nicole that Joanna had even considered doing this.

With a relaxed smile, Nicole had a hint of humor in her voice as she informed Joanna, “I am doing something

though, Director Schmidt. I am designing the most extravagant and beautiful wedding gown there is for Queenie so

that she can have a happy wedding.”

Disbelief immediately crossed Joanna’s face after Nicole said those words. She had seen with her own eyes how

Hayden had called Nicole ‘Mom’ and Colton his ‘Dad’.

“Don’t you and President Gardner have a son together? Are you actually willingly letting Queenie rob you of your

position as Mrs. Gardner?!” Joanna angrily blurted out in a low voice.

Nicole didn’t offer too much an explanation. “Joanna Schmidt, you can do something about it if it makes you so

upset. I don’t have time for this.”

Joanna’s face fell further. She had pondered over it for a long time, and only came to Nicole after she barely

managed to put down her pride. And now she is brushing me off and rejecting me with just a few sarcastic words?

“I don’t believe you!” she hissed again. There was no way she would believe that Nicole had no problem with it.

The Gardner Family was the most influential family in the world. Since Nicole had given birth to Colton’s child, her

status would immediately skyrocket if she were to marry into the family. Joanna didn’t believe that Nicole didn’t

have any reaction when her road to fame and success was hindered by Queenie.

She had her eyes fixated on Nicole to look for evidence from her impassive face, but Joanna found nothing despite

scrutinizing every corner of her face.

“Director Schmidt, it might be better for you to leave if there is nothing else. I have to make the wedding gown for

the future Mrs. Gardner. I can’t afford having the higher-ups blame me if there is the slightest delay.”

Nicole didn’t sound angry at all as she said that in a light voice.
