Chapter 387 Worrying About It Later
In that instant, bigotry and hatred flashed across Joanna’s frantic gaze. With her eyes glued to Nicole’s silhouette,
Joanna was overwhelmed by her exasperation and anger. I should have listened to Queenie and showed no mercy!
Nicole, you have just made yourself an enemy from now on!
…
The next day, Nicole took Whitney to a high-end restaurant, where they saw a gorgeous lady there upon arrival.
The lady was seen with long dark hair and heavy makeup on her face. At the same time, she appeared to be
wearing a formal suit and a pair of black high-heels with red soles. With a teacup in her hand, she sat at the table
and gracefully took a sip of her tea until she noticed Nicole’s arrival. As she waved at Nicole and beckoned her over,
the latter walked closer to her and chuckled at the sight of how she looked like a successful and tough
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbusinesswoman.
Soon, Nicole seized Whitney’s arm and approached the table before taking a seat. “Shouldn’t a corporate president
like you be busy? How come you could find time to fly all the way here?”

When Emily heard Nicole’s cheeky question, she coldly grunted and shot an annoyed gaze at her. “I came here to
remind you that you still have a company to run.”
Nicole awkwardly rubbed her nose and smiled in embarrassment. “Well, I didn’t know I would have to stay in
Gardner Corporation for so long. After all, I didn’t have a choice because I had a favor to repay.”
While Emily looked askance at Nicole without saying a single word, Whitney, who was sitting aside, found Emily’s
voice somewhat familiar to her. With a frown on her face, she couldn’t help but wonder where she had heard
Emily’s voice before.
“By the way, I’m absolutely sure that there is a snitch in Gardner Corporation now. It appears that whoever is
behind this isn’t happy with you because anyone could just get to the bottom of this entire plagiarism scandal
easily,” Emily said, seemingly thinking of something as she looked up. “Wait a minute. Even if there wasn’t anyone
else who knew what was going on, couldn’t you have noticed something was fishy? After all, every single draft got
through you.”
Nicole smiled helplessly, curling her lips upward in response. “Well, I wasn’t around at that time; otherwise, you
wouldn’t have gotten the goods on me.”
Emily nodded. “Well, whoever did this to you chose to strike when you were away. That move seemed personal if
you ask me.”
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief without explaining further. Instead, she asked, “What’re you going to do then? Don’t
tell me you’re really going to press charges.”
Emily appeared unconcerned, curling her lips upward. “Why not? The litigation will help us secure a sum of money
from Gardner Corporation, which is a good thing for Aimee International.”
Meanwhile, Nicole let out a sigh in the face of Emily’s unfazed attitude. “Let’s just put this behind us and move on.
After all, now that I’m the ‘person in charge’ of the company’s brand, Ann, its future could be at risk if it’s
compelled to pay such a huge sum of money.”
While Emily had no intention of suing Gardner Corporation as well, she kept her head down slightly and said, “This
time, I knew someone in Gardner Corporation was probably up to something against you. After all, it was your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmname that was signed on the contract. That was the reason I decided to take this opportunity to teach them a
lesson for you.” Emily paused for a second and added, “In fact, I’m trying to warn Gardner Corporation with the
litigation and let them have a taste of their own medicine.”
Meanwhile, the reason Nicole was so confident that she could take care of the problem with Aimee International
was because she knew how things would likely turn out before she met up with Emily. “Alright, now that we almost
had them, I suppose it is time for us to stop,” she said.
Emily nodded her head, fixing her gaze upon Nicole for a moment before she asked, “Nicole, are you seriously
going to stay in Gardner Corporation instead of going back to Aimee International?”
Nicole looked down, setting her eyes on her teacup while fiddling with it. Then, a helpless smile showed on her face.
“Emily, there’s still a lot I have to deal with here. So, now that I’m here, I’m planning to take care of all of them
once and for all before I start worrying about something else.”
