Chapter 119 Add Fuel to the Fire

After Colton spoke, he turned around and walked out.

As Joanna watched Colton’s hurried steps, there was a burst of anger inside her. At this point, Colton’s reaction

showed that he was still siding with Nicole.

However, she didn’t let her emotions show on her face. What surprised her the most was that Queenie would go to

such lengths.

“Wendy, it’s all right. Don’t cry. I’ll design something better than that for you. Don’t be angry. I’m sure Lisa didn’t do

it on purpose.” Joanna comforted Wendy, at the same time speaking up for Nicole.

Anna sighed, then looked at Joanna and said, “Joanna, you have such a good heart. At this point, you’re still

speaking up for her.”







After Wendy cried for a while, she got up from Anna’s embrace. Looking at Joanna, she gritted her teeth. “Joanna,

don’t say anything good about her anymore! S-She humiliated me! She humiliated me with a plagiarized design!”

Seeing how resentful the mother and daughter were, Joanna felt secretly happy, but she still appeared kind on the

surface.

“President Gardner said that he’ll investigate it, so let’s wait for his findings.”

As of now, Wendy could be said to harbor complete hatred for Nicole. She grunted coldly, her voice obviously

showing that she had just cried.

“Colton must have been seduced by that woman. Until now, he’s still taking her side,” Wendy remarked.

Anna’s gaze darkened. She used to have a sense of respect for Lisa because she was a part of F&M Apparel, and

she was also a famous designer. However, there was now an issue of plagiarism, and her daughter was implicated.







There was absolutely no way she could allow this to happen!

“No, Wendy. Don’t speak so mindlessly. Lisa has a son, so she can’t possibly be with President Gardner,” Joanna

interrupted.

When she said this, Anna’s face immediately took a change for the worse. She turned to stare at Joanna. “Did you

say that she has a son?”

Joanna hurriedly pretended as if she had said the wrong thing. “Oh, you didn’t know that, Mrs. Gardner?”

Anna appeared livid. How could she not know her son? Just by looking at Colton’s behavior, she could obviously tell

that he had feelings for Nicole.

If she was still single, Anna had nothing to say. But, she didn’t expect Nicole to have a son. How could such a

woman be worthy of her son?

“I know that now!” Anna stated sharply, then didn’t say anything else.

As Hayden had a slight fever, Nicole was worried and didn’t go to work today.

Although there was a nanny to take care of him at home, she still wanted to be by her son’s side.

However, before long, she suddenly received a call from Colton.

Nicole found it a little strange. If Colton is calling at this hour, could it be that there’s omething wrong with the

design drafts again?

Nevertheless, she answered the phone.

“Nicole, I’m coming to your house now. Send me the location,” Colton said solemnly.

Nicole was taken aback, but she could still hear a trace of trouble in Colton’s voice. She quickly asked, “Is something

wrong?”

“Well, the dress you designed for Wendy has been suspected of plagiarism, and there’s quite a lot of buzz about

this,” Colton briefly explained.

Nicole frowned. Plagiarism?

Even though she made some changes to her own design, it couldn’t possibly be considered plagiarism. She blurted

out, “I didn’t!”

“Yes, I believe you, so I’m going to your house now to discuss how to solve this matter.” Colton lowered his voice.

Nicole didn’t know why he trusted her so unconditionally, and it warmed her heart. She murmured assent, then

sent him the location of her home.

Due to her son’s fever, Nicole hadn’t looked at her phone all day, so she didn’t expect that such a huge incident had

occurred.



After hanging up the phone, Nicole took a look on the Internet. Sure enough, her name was trending, in which one

of the hot searches was—’Lisa plagiarized a design!’

Nicole browsed a little more and found that the matter was quite serious, as even the judges of that year’s

competition came forward to confirm it.
