Chapter 192 Ms Betty
Right as Nicole was about to head home, she got a call from Wendy, to which she answered, thinking it was about her dress sketch.
Immediately, Wendy’s panicked voice came from the other end. “Nicole, bad news!”
Nicole frowned at that, sensing something terrible was approaching from Wendy’s tone. After a pause, she asked, “What is it?”
Wendy hurriedly explained, “My aunt came to my home.”
Aunt? Whitney did mention Colton had an aunt when she dug into his information. His aunt was married to President Schumacher of Pinnacle Group, but the couple lost two children consecutively. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Nicole wasn’t sure what it had to do with her. “Okay, so?”
“Nicole, she’s here because of you and Colton!” Wendy cried out.
“Colton and me?” Nicole was truly baffled now. She and Colton had nothing to do with each other!
“Yeah. I don’t know who or where she heard that Colton is the father of your child, and now she’s livid. She even vowed to give you a piece of her mind…” Wendy mumbled.
She had already owed Nicole one when she falsely accused Nicole. So right after she received word about her aunt, she immediately called Nicole, seeing it as a repayment for the debt.
A troubled Nicole rubbed her throbbing temple. She had never claimed Hayden to be Colton’s son, but who’d have thought they jumped to conclusions on their own.
“Alright, I’ll be prepared for it,” Nicole nodded as she replied.
Anyhow, the sooner she knew, the sooner she could brace for it.
Seeing Nicole’s glum expression after ending the call, Whitney burst into a chuckle. “Miss Nicole, you really are a magnet for trouble.”
Nicole glared at her in response and entered the car. “Get in. We have to pack up and move out of Colton’s place. If his aunt catches us, I’ll be getting more than what I’ve bargained for.”
Colton was right in the beginning. Hiding in his mansion was the best solution when things had just quieted down, but looking at things now, Nicole knew she should quickly go back, or she wouldn’t be able to explain herself at all.
With her arms crossed, Whitney turned her head to Nicole, suggesting, “Well, if your old place still isn’t safe, why don’t you ask President Yates to provide you with a new one? He has tons of residence anyway.”
To that, Nicole said softly as she stepped on the accelerator, “Zachary’s already swamped with his family affairs. I don’t want to bother him with minor things like this, and you don’t always tell him everything.”
Seeing that Nicole knew everything, Whitney didn’t refute but asked, “But, Miss Nicole, President Yates is so nice to you. Are you really not going to consider it? I mean, you two are single…”
Right at that, Nicole slammed the brakes. Luckily, the two had their seat belts on, or their heads would’ve slammed against the windshield.
Her heart dropped when she saw the elderly person had fallen to the ground in front of their car. I haven’t slammed into the lady, have I?!
Whitney saw it as well. “You’ve got to be kidding me. To fake an accident at a time like this?”
“C’mon, let’s go check it out. What if I really hit her?” Nicole said as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
Though helpless, Whitney followed suit. While unbuckling her seatbelt, she warned Nicole, “Better watch out. I swear she’s feigning injury. Our car’s so far away; it didn’t even touch her, yet she has already fallen.”
After getting out of the car, the two went up to the elderly woman.
Nicole crouched and asked in concern, “Are you okay, ma’am?”
To that, Whitney added immediately, “Our car didn’t even touch you. We have a dashcam. If you plan to fake an accident, I’ll call the cops!”
The elderly woman shook her head and said weakly, “I’m fine.”
With that, Nicole helped her up. Right after the elderly woman turned over, Nicole’s eyes widened in shock, her lips stammering as she exclaimed, “Ms. Betty!”
