Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 154

Colton's keen concern on this matter was out of Nicole's expectation. In the afternoon, Colton actually came to her office directly.

Upon seeing Colton entering her office, Nicole felt a little surprised. Her first reaction was wondering whether there was something wrong with her design drafts.

"I'm here to inform you about Daniella," Colton said slowly. He took a few steps forward and plopped himself on the sofa.

At once, Nicole stopped working, knowing fully the reason as to why Colton came to see her. She did not know whether to cry or laugh.

"I've seen the news. She intends on using public opinion regarding her suicide to suppress me," Nicole murmured in a low voice.

Upon hearing that, Colton nodded. As he observed Nicole's calm appearance, he knew she must have a plan concocted. So, he asked directly, "Then, what's your plan?"

Tuggingthe corners of her mouth into a smile, Nicole

replied to him by saying, "She can do as she pleases. But, I will stand firm and not withdraw the lawsuit."

Colton looked at Nicole's determined appearance with a flash of respect and admiration in his eyes. Truth be told, he thought Nicole would buckle in pretty easily because of Daniella's suicide. However, he did not expect the very woman in front of him to behave quite stubbornly.

"Well, then you'd have to prepare yourself mentally. And if you continue to press charges, it will certainly attract more public opinion, which might not necessarily be positive."

Upon hearing that, Nicole nodded. "I'm aware of it. But, if I choose to not pursue this matter, people across the world will continue to think that the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel is an easy target that can be bullied and manipulated."

Not only does the lawsuit concern myself, but it's also forthe reputation of F&M Apparel. If I don't persist in pursuing this matter, the reputation of F&M Apparel will lose its lustre.

"I have already requested the Public Relations Department to help keep a lid on this issue. So, what do you wish to do next?" Colton inquired.

"Head to the hospital, and see how much longer she can keep up with the act," Nicole sneered. If she's truly acting, it'll definitely show.

A hint of tantalization flashed in Colton's dark eyes, and he stood up. "Seeing as I'm free from any duties in the afternoon, how about we visit her together?"

"Sure."

When Nicole and Colton stepped into the ward, Daniella was still sitting on the bedside, clearly occupied with her phone. When she heard noises at the door, she looked up and saw that it was Nicole. At once, she put up a pitiful look.

"Miss Lisa," Daniella whispered.

Nicole looked up. At the moment, Daniella's face was paler than usual, her lips drained of color. She was wearing a hospital gown, which further helped her

portray a person who was truly sick and frail.

"I heard from the doctor that the cut wasn't deep enough to bring serious harm when I came over earlier," Nicole said slowly. Her gaze slowly landed on Daniella.

"Miss Lisa, I know it was my fault. But, I was just simply gripped by anger at why the people who committed plagiarism went unpunished. That was why I resorted to a stupid act. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."

When Daniella spoke, there was already a hint of sobs, making her sound so pitiful.

Still, Nicole only looked at her coldly, unmoved by her acting. "If you expose who put you up to this, I will withdraw the lawsuit."
