Chapter 228 Will She Go Crazy From Anger?
As the news about Nicole being the founder of ‘Ann’ spread, another topic had also become one of the trending searches—Wendy Gardner’s 18th Birthday Banquet.
After all, the Gardner Family were heavily involved in business. Now that it was their youngest daughter’s birthday banquet to celebrate her coming-of-age, there were business and political figures both in and out of the country who would naturally show her the respect as a member of the Gardner household.
The reporters and the media had also specially bombarded Wendy with praises and compliments on the Internet.
However, just as the public had their eyes on Wendy, another gossip broke out from a media outlet.
They had, without reservations, written a long article that could be summarized as—Lisa from F&M Apparel and Joanna Schmidt from the Gardner Corporation wanted to make a dress for the young miss of the Gardner Family, but Miss Gardner finally chose Joanna Schmidt.
Even though it was just gossip, everyone couldn’t help updating themselves with it.
Many online users began to wonder how Lisa could lose when she was the one who made that stunning gown, which was misunderstood to be a product of plagiarism, for Wendy’s graduation.
Then again, everyone began to consider the possibility of Joanna being an excellent designer and she had ended up producing something better than Lisa did.
The public was thrown into a turmoil once again when the Gardner Corporation released news that Lisa was the founder of ‘Ann’. They couldn’t stop questioning the reason Lisa was the only one mentioned when it was supposed to be a collaborative work between the Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel.
…
There were different opinions on the matter. Anyhow, this so-called ‘gossip’ had become a hot topic that was highly debated.
As for where this gossip came from, Nicole would, of course, know about it.
Whitney knew that Nicole was ready. As long as they had the pink gem sent by Triton Studio, there was no doubt that Nicole would win this battle.
That was why not only Whitney wasn’t angry, she was rather amused when she saw the discussions on the Internet. She turned to look at the calm Nicole and couldn’t suppress the corners of her mouth as they rose. “I am sure Joanna was the one who spread the gossip, Miss Nicole.”
Nicole only hummed without denying it.
Her reaction made Whitney gloat even more. “Miss Nicole, do you think she would go crazy from anger if Miss Gardner ended up wearing your dress over her?” she asked smilingly.
Nicole chuckled lightly with her eyes closed. She then raised her chin and propped it in her palm. “Joanna is a clever person. Even though she was never involved in the dirty things that Queenie did, I am sure she played her part in taking Queenie into doing them.”
Whitney proceeded to look at her with confused eyes.
Nicole paused briefly before she continued, “Since she chose to stand in the same boat as Queenie, I don’t see the need for me to hold back anymore.”
As soon as she said that, she was hit by a sudden dizziness that made her close her eyes as she tried to recover from it.
Seeing her in discomfort, Whitney hurried forward and showed her concern. “Is it your anemia acting up again, Miss Nicole?”
Nicole rested for a bit then. She hadn’t had a good rest ever since she spent her nights and days doing her work. To make things worse, her old sickness was relapsing again.
“It is okay. I will be fine once my schedule is back on track after Wendy’s birthday.”
Still, Whitney couldn’t help but worry. Although Nicole had makeup on, Whitney could still see the other woman’s exhaustion peeking through.
Seeing Whitney’s worried face, Nicole added again, “Julia will be in the country in a few days. I will be fine once I let her do her magic.”
“Is Miss Hull coming too?” Whitney asked in surprise.
Julia Hull, a doctor who held a doctorate degree, worked as the attending doctor in a private hospital abroad. She was also the one who helped Nicole with the delivery of her child back then.
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded. “She told me she will be here to accompany her boyfriend to a banquet, and after finding out that I am here, she said that she would stop by to see me.”
Julia hadn’t told Nicole anything about having a boyfriend before their conversation on the phone two days ago. She had directly told Nicole that she was coming to the country.
“Then, you should rest before Miss Hull comes. Your health should always come first,” Whitney advised as she cleared up the table.
