Chapter 173 Controversy
After Nicole left, William was livid; he realized that every time he met her, she would make him so angry that he
would have chest pain.
Seeing how mad William was, Queenie hurriedly consoled him. “Dad, don’t be mad. Maybe Nicole was just acting in
a fit. She’ll be fine after some time.”
However, his anger simply doubled when she tried to speak up for Nicole. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll announce to the
media directly that I’m officially breaking all ties with her! Her position as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel is too
good for us!”
“This is not such a good idea, Dad.” Queenie pretended to speak up for Nicole, but in fact, she was brimming with
glee on the inside.
Back when William found out that Nicole was the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, he showed off to everyone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaround, regardless whether Nicole was agreeable to it or not. Wherever he went, he would say that she was his
daughter. But if they severed their ties and even announced it publicly, then Nicole would never be able to return to
the Anderson Family!
That’s amazing! Queenie thought.
“What’s so bad about it? She was the one who suggested it. With the criticisms of the suicide incident weighing on
her, she might do something crazy and even implicate us at that time. After we sever our ties with her, we can
have peace of mind as well!” William said in a huff.
After lashing out, he used a few seconds to calm himself, and when he turned to Queenie, the anger from his face
had subsided a little.
Reaching out, he patted her and said in exasperation, “Queenie, you’re the only child in the family now. Don’t let
me down.”
Suppressing the delight in her heart, Queenie put on a concerned expression and nodded. “I’ll do my best, Dad.”
William sighed and appeared to have aged a lot all of a sudden. He shut his eyes and uttered, “Hold onto President
Gardner properly, and everything will be smooth for our family as well.”
“I got it, Dad,” she answered gently with a nod.
“Yes, Queenie. Do us proud,” Lydia chirped in, seeing that the situation had improved.
…
Early the next day, William contacted the media and announced that he was severing all ties with Nicole.
This news, which was neither sensational nor significant, was unimportant, but because Nicole was in the midst of a
controversy, any news which involved her would immediately become the hot topic of the day.
The reason William cut off ties with Nicole was very simple—Nicole refused to listen to his advice and caused the
death of a person, so that was why the Andersons didn’t want to acknowledge such a heartless person as family.
As soon as this news got out, the people who were watching the fun were quick to comment on how pathetic Nicole
was that even her own father wouldn’t acknowledge her.
Despite that, as Nicole had a really bad reputation now, everyone stood by with the Andersons, thinking that William
did nothing wrong, and that it was the best choice to cut all ties with such a heartless person!
Although the news about Nicole was causing a huge uproar on the Internet, she had always kept her silence, as
though she was being a coward, and didn’t explain anything at all. Because of this, the netizens condemned her
even more brazenly.
Meanwhile, Nicole, who was still at the Gardner’s, was reading the news about William severing all ties with her on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher phone with a smile.
Seeing how happy she seemed, Whitney asked in confusion, “Nicole, why are you smiling so happily when your
father has refused to acknowledge you?”
Keeping away her phone, Nicole then picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. After taking a moment to enjoy it
as the coffee spread out in her mouth, she said slowly, “What’s the point of keeping this father-daughter
relationship? Just for visits during holidays?”
Whitney had never heard Nicole bring up her father before; she had only roughly learned about it from the Internet
that William had chased Nicole out of the family because she got pregnant out of wedlock, and there was no more
news after that.
When Nicole returned to the country as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, this man came up eagerly and
shamelessly, telling everyone that she was his daughter. And now, he had directly announced through the media
that they were no longer related because of Daniella’s suicide incident.
I have to say, he’s very talented in doing what benefits him at any moment.
