Chapter 393 The Moment of Truth
But if my memory serves me right, F&R Enterprise is an established company with decades of history.
Nicole explained after noticing the surprised look on Whitney’s face. “Douglas is a capable man who proved his own worth to get where he is in F&R Enterprise today.” Although Douglas couldn’t have succeeded without Emily’s help, Nicole approved of the man’s talent and competence.
Whitney said nothing, thinking she shouldn’t continue the topic because she was afraid she would lose control over her emotions once again. Thus, she wiped her tears and looked at Nicole. “Miss Nicole, are you going back to Gardner Corporation once you take care of the problem with Aimee International?”
Nicole nodded in response. “I still have work to do for the brand, Ann, and I don’t like to leave my business unfinished. Besides, there are many other things I need to take care of here, so it’s a good excuse for me to stay here longer. Otherwise, they’re going to get suspicious.”
With everything else settled, Nicole reckoned it was time for her to do what she must. After all, she still hadn’t found the evidence about the death of her mentor, White, although she was sure Pierre was involved in it. While she was determined to have her revenge, she was also not going to give up on investigating her mother’s death.
When Nicole’s mother passed away, Lydia was seen around the hospital, which made her wonder if it had anything to do with Lydia. I’m going to get to the bottom of these two matters. I will find out the truth and seek justice, not just for myself but for my mentor and mother as well.
While that incident gave both of them an opportunity to meet each other, they subsequently got married and started a family with a child, whereupon Douglas became the president of F&R Enterprise later that year.
When Whitney read the news and discovered that Douglas was indeed a married man, her hope was crushed by the harsh truth, as if the universe had collapsed around her. Seeing the family of three in the picture, she could see Douglas carrying a little girl in his arms while Emily was seen wrapping her arms around the man’s waist.
At the same time, Douglas’ eyes were fixed on the child lovingly. They look like a happy family. Whitney continued to stare at her monitor screen in an absent-minded manner until she brought her wandering mind back to reality moments later.
