Chapter 2127
Nicole nodded with a smile. "Yeah, we can leave now." "Then let's go." Lulu just wanted to leave. To her, it will only feel like it was over once they stepped out of there.
Nicole found her reaction amusing. After completing the necessary procedures, she left with Lulu.
Once they were in the car, Lulu finally felt like she could breathe normally again. She could not help but pat her chest and say, "Oh my, I couldn't even take a deep breath in there."
"Then you didn't have to come with me." Nicole shook her head gently.
"Hey, I was worried about you." Lulu stuck out her tongue to Nicole. She was nervous, but she would still accompany Nicole even if it meant overcoming the psychological distress she felt.
Nicole smiled warmly. "Everything's fine now, so you can relax."
"But what exactly happened earlier? Why did Dillon end up getting arrested?" Lulu was confused. 'Weren't those pieces of evidence against Nicole?'
"Dillon did get hold of some evidence, but he didn't know that the evidence was given to him by Everett. He thought he had found evidence against me and was going to report me. He accused me of bribing the fund manager and
manipulating the stock market with malicious intent. He even had all sorts of evidence prepared." Nicole shook her head, feeling resigned. She could not even be bothered to do such a thing. Besides, even if she did it, there would be no evidence left behind.
"Oh, so Dillon was set up by Everett," Lulu realized. If the evidence was fake, the police would naturally discover that he had fabricated evidence when they looked into this case, which ultimately led to his arrest.
"You can say that Everett is sitting back and reaping the benefits quietly," Nicole explained. No matter who got into trouble, Everett would still benefit from it.
"He's really taking advantage of the situation. How despicable!" Lulu sighed disdainfully.
"He's cunning indeed." A glint of determination flashed in Nicole's eyes as she continued, "But I'm not that easy to manipulate."
