Fell in Love with Mr.Right at The Wrong Time novel Chapter 71

As William did not hold back with his slap, Lydia was now pressing her stinging face, and tears uncontrollably fell from the corner of her eyes.

Given Nicole's honorable reputation as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, William already had the plans to reel her back into the Anderson Family.

Many years ago, Lydia had driven Nicole and her mother out of Anderson Residence and banished her from returning. "Did you even think why Queenie and Joseph would be in the same room, drugged at the same time?" Her eyes glistened with tears as she raised her head, looking resentful.

William's body froze. He turned to Lydia's tear-stained face and tensed his brows. After pondering for a bit, he quizzed, "You think it's Nicole's doing?"

Seeing as he was buying her implication, Lydia quickly replied, "What else could it be? Queenie was doing just fine with President Gardner. Why would she sleep with Joseph?"

William found her words reasonable. All these years, thanks to Queenie's efforts in playing up to the Gardner Family, the Andersons were able to reap innumerable benefits, so indeed, Queenie had no reason to offend the Gardners for Joseph's sake. Thinking of this, the anger on his face waned, and he was no longer as tilted as he was.

Sensing the result of her manipulation, Lydia hurriedly added, "Think about it. Five years ago, when Nicole came to us begging for money to treat her mother, do you remember how we rejected her? And this time, Nicole must be trying to get back at us by setting Queenie up!" As she was speaking, she brushed her tears off, whimpering and saying, "Oh, Poor Queenie... she... she almost got violated!"

Hearing Lydia's wailing, William finally calmed himself down, as shown on his face. After regaining his composure, he recalled his memories from five years ago. Indeed, he had been dreadful toward Nicole and her mother, sparing not even a penny for them. And that explained why Nicole returned—to take her revenge.

"Okay, calm down now. It didn't happen in the end, no? I'm sure President Gardner will investigate the matter thoroughly, so it'll only be a matter of time until the culprit is captured." Having cooled down, William comforted Lydia.

As if she didn't hear him, she reached out her hands and held his head before pecking him on his cheek.

With that, Colton was stupefied. It was as if a surge of electricity defibrillated his heart. Coming back to his senses, he turned to her, only to see her dark, sparkling eyes. All of a sudden, a honk from behind disrupted his thoughts, to which he hastily withdrew his body and seated himself before hitting the pedal to head home.

Feeling not a thing in her arms, Nicole felt empty and once again threw herself onto Colton.

Left with no choice, Colton rolled down the windows. The weather was chilly outside. Along the speedy motion of the car, an icy breeze rushed into the car, pulling the dazed woman back to her senses.
