Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 140

"I'm the one being shamed. Does it have anythingto do with you?" Nicole asked, leaning back slightly, pretending to be indifferent.

Seeing how unbothered Nicole was being, William got a little angry. "Don't you know what your reputation is like now? Everyone's disgusted with you!"

Nicole still appeared calm as she lowered her head and asked, "And?"

William's expression eased a little when he saw that Nicole was still willing to listen. "Apologize now, and F&M Apparel will help you regain your fame when the time comes."

Nicole thought that William truly cared about her; she didn't expect that hejust wanted her to apologize.

She couldn't hold back her laughter as she raised her clear eyes and looked over.

"Why should I apologize?"

William frowned in response to Nicole's stubborn behavior.

"It's already gotten to this point. What else do you want? Will you only be happy when you've completely ruined your reputation?"

"Isn't that what you want to see?" Nicole stood up and gave him a condescending look.

"Besides, no matter what happens to me, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Anderson!"

When William saw how persistent Nicole was with this behavior, his entire body trembled with anger. He stood up and looked straight at her while yelling, "You're from the Anderson Family. You're an Anderson. Now that this matter has become such a huge issue, our family is going to be humiliated because of you. If you're sensible, you'll behave and admit your mistake, and the matter will blow over. If you're still so stubborn, you'll become more of a joke."

It turned out that he was persuading her to apologize because he was afraid of being humiliated. Nicole was a little amused, and her expression hardened as she said coldly, "No matter what embarrassing things I do, it has nothing to do with you!"

"You're so shameless!" William was so furious that he raised his arm, about to slap her. However, before he could do it, his wrist was grabbed.

Nicole held his wrist, then tightened her grip and threw his arm aside as she smiled. "You're better off taking care of your own affairs. You don't need to bother about mine!"

Just as she was mulling it over, she suddenly slammed into a firm chest.

Groaning in pain, Nicole took several steps back, almost falling. Fortunately, the person in front of her was quick to react and grabbed her.

However, due to the momentum, after Nicole was grabbed, she slammed right into his arms once again.

Her face flushed, and she hurriedly untangled herself from Colton's arms as she said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry. I didn't watch where I was going."

Colton noticed her slightly reddened cheeks, and the corners of his lips curled up as he chuckled. "It's fine. Is something on your mind?" "Yeah." Nicole nodded. She figured he could tell from her appearance that her mind was occupied, so there was nothing to hide.

"If you need help, I'd be happy to give it," Colton offered like a gentleman.

"It's alright. It's already solved," Nicole answered, not wanting to trouble Colton about her family matters. After all, Colton and her so-called sister were still engaged.
