Chapter 826
Nicole got up in haste and responded politely, "Old Mrs. Gould, the stories you shared earlier were interesting, and I
enjoyed them very much."
Rita could not contain her smile and replied, "Okay. Let's talk further when we get the chance."
Once she left, Zachary inched closer and asked, "Since when are you on such good terms with Old Mrs. Gould?"
Nicole shrugged and reached out conveniently to retrieve the plate by the side. There were some dainty-looking
cupcakes on it with some cold cuts by the side. She used a toothpick and tasted the cake. Finally, she spoke up after
taking a bite. "I've just made acquaintance with her right before this."
He could not help smiling at the sight of her foodie front. "I never realized that you were so good at socializing."
Meanwhile, Nicole continued to taste her cupcake bit by bit. She had been starving since the afternoon and only
had some drinks throughout the day, so she was indeed ravenous. As she placed the cupcake into her mouth, she
found it sweet and fragrant.

of things that you don't know about me. Not only am I great at socializing, but I'm also very eloquent. Otherwise,
how else could I have achieved the position of chief designer at F&M Apparel? Did you think I achieved that by
relying solely on my designs?"
Chuckling, he was amused by her confident words and even found her exceptionally adorable.

On the other end, Evelyn was seething with anger even after returning to her room. She wrapped herself in her
blanket and still could not comprehend why her parents had decided to adopt Nicole.
Since she was young, she was given the royal treatment and doted on by everyone. Right now, she was told that
she would have a sister soon, and it had to be someone she despised.
She could not contain her anger as she thought of that. Her parents were intelligent, so she knew they would not
land on that major decision without any valid reason. Could it be Nicole's idea?
As soon as Evelyn thought of that, she raged further, and her face flushed crimson out of anger. She reached out
and slammed her fist on the blanket. Suddenly, she scrambled up from bed and clenched her teeth. I won't let
Nicole get her way! There will only be one daughter from the Wrenns, and that will be me!
"Miss Wrenn." A woman's voice suddenly rang by the door, which pulled Evelyn back to her senses.
She stared at the person at the entrance warily and asked, "Who's there?"
"Miss Wrenn, a parcel has just arrived for you, and I was informed to hand it to you. That's why I've come over. I'm
sorry if I have disrupted you."
Parcel? Evelyn was confused as she did not recall shopping online lately. Besides, even if she did, it would not have
been delivered to the Gould Residence since she had only returned recently.
Although there seemed to be something strange going on with this matter, she gestured for the person to enter the
room anyway. "Place the parcel by the bedside and leave if nothing else. Don't let anyone else enter my room
without approval from me." Her voice was cold.

The servant dashed into the room and swiftly placed the item on the nightstand before leaving the room.
Once the servant left, Evelyn's gaze finally landed on the package on the table. It was a square box.
She reached out and took the box to realize that it was practically weightless. However, she could feel something
rattling inside when she shook the box.
Frowning, she could no longer contain her curiosity, so she unboxed the parcel.
After disassembling it, she found a letter and another exquisite box inside. The envelope was nothing out of the
ordinary, just kraft paper. She took the note and opened it, after which she was stunned by the few words written
on it.
Dumbfounded, she continued to stare at the letter. 'This box contains a knock-out drug. Miss Wrenn, feel free to
test it on an animal first. Once someone contacts it, they won't be able to curb their sexual urges. The substance
isn't harmful to health.'
At that point, she gripped the letter tightly and felt confused as she wondered about the motive of the person who
had sent the parcel to her.
