Chapter 152 Daniella Committed Suicide

With a smile, Nicole said, “Things must have also been hard on you these days, Director Schmidt. Well then, I shall take back the documents I gave you before.”

Clearly, the expression on Joanna’s face stiffened. However, she quickly responded and picked up the things that had been arranged on the table.

“Well, not entirely. It was given to me because you were entangled in a scandal and couldn’t get out of the matter. Now that everything has been resolved, it’s natural for me to return them to you.”

As Nicole took the things, she smiled. She flipped through them and found that Joanna had poured in a lot of effort. “Fair enough. Then, I would like to thank you, Director Schmidt. Now that the plagiarism scandal has been clarified, the next thing we need to do is to hustle hard. Please bear with me and show me tolerance if there’s any area that I may require your cooperation.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s my honor to be able to work with you, Miss Lisa.” Joanna pursed her lips and faked a stiff smile.

Nicole had no intention to continue passing the bucks with Joanna. After getting the documents, she turned around and left.

After Joanna watched Nicole leave, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She stood there for a long time without budging.

Hatred glimpsed in her eyes. I thought that Queenie could really drag Nicole down this time. She boasted about her ability, yet this was the result? Such a useless piece of sh*t!

Continuing to stand on the spot for a long time, Joanna closed her eyes slightly. She kept telling herself to calm down. Nicole is only going to stay in the Gardner Corporation for a few months and will leaveThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

after the cooperative tie between F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation is over. I can’t afford to take risks within these few months. After Nicole leaves, I’m still the only director for Gardner Apparel!

At the thought of that, Joanna felt that the anger in her heart eventually dissipated a lot. That’s right. I’ll let Nicole be complacent for a few more days.

Anyhow, my status will definitely rise when Gardner Clothing reaches the top nationwide. So, there’s no harm for me.

…

Later, at noon, Nicole came back from her lunch. Just as she sat down, she suddenly received a call from Whitney.

Nicole answered the phone. Before she could speak out, she heard a grumpy voice coming from the other end of the phone. “Miss Nicole! Bad news!”

Gripping the phone, Nicole held it away from her ear a little. The shout that was just let out by Whitney shocked her. Feeling upset, she frowned. “Why are you making a fuss? You should be calmer when dealing with things.”

Listening to Nicole’s calm tone, Whitney could not help but anxiously ask, “Miss Nicole, did you not surf the Internet at noon?”

At once, Nicole felt a little uneasy in her heart. Why do Whitney’s words seem to be having hidden messages? And thus, she turned on the computer and responded, “I didn’t. I just had my lunch.”

Then, Nicole paused for a moment before she continued in a slight joking manner. “I’m not you, hanging around in front of the phone and computer every day.”

“Miss Nicole, can you please pay more attention?” Whitney complained.

Nicole slowly clicked open the webpage. The trending topic of her not committing plagiarism had subsided. Currently, the topic that became trending was ‘Daniella Zimmer Could Not Withstand the Pressure and Committed Suicide’.

Taking a rough glance at the article, Nicole asked, “What the hell?” Her tone was a little dense.

“Just this afternoon, someone discovered that Daniella committed suicide by slitting her wrist at home. Now, she is getting emergency treatment in the hospital. Miss Nicole, this was originally her fault. But now, she’s using suicide to gain sympathy. Some of the netizens are already starting to scold you.”

Reaching out her hand, Nicole massaged her nose bridge. My goodness! I thought that the matter was nearly coming to an end. I didn’t expect Daniella to have the courage to do this to herself.

“So, what’s the situation now? Did she die?” Nicole asked calmly.

“No, she didn’t. According to the Internet, she has been rescued. I hacked into the hospital system to take a look. It stated in the database that she did not sustain major injury, and the cut was not too deep either,” Whitney said as she explained further.

Upon hearing that, Nicole breathed out a sigh and said, “I got it. Let’s talk about it when I get back in the afternoon.”

Seeing that Daniella had committed suicide now, Nicole was afraid she would be condemned by the public again if she continued with the lawsuit…
