Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1165

Chapter 1165 Why I Turned Into a Mistress?

Nathan's face flushed with anger whenever his mind strayed to those… those ridiculous posts. He fell silent for some time on the other end of the phone and then replied in a hoarse voice, "I have never encountered such an absurd rumor in my years of becoming a doctor. It's simply outrageous! I can't believe they would cook up such…" As Nathan was, frankly, getting on in years, he was pretty traditional. So, a scandal such as this in his time was akin to a death sentence. Thus, he naturally found it challenging to discuss such matters with Nicole and could only gnash his teeth furiously.

Nicole was well aware that Nathan was fuming mad, so she hurriedly comforted, "Mr. Zeller, please don't take this rumor to heart. I will take good care of this matter and solve it by today."

Nathan eventually sighed and calmed down. After a long silence, he said softly, "Nicole, I shall leave this matter to your capable hands, then. I'm sorry for troubling you."

"No problem. After all, this is what I should do in the first place," Nicole said softly.

After she hung up the phone, she promptly began her investigation. Just as she had expected, Natasha was the mastermind behind all the made-up rumors on the Internet. Well, Natasha's motive is simple. She is trying to force me to leave the science academy. Nicole sneered scornfully. To be frank, I didn't expect Natasha would put her brain to good use this time and actually plotted to crush me using public opinion, though. But unfortunately for her, I am going to let her know how wrong she was for wishfully thinking that she could scheme against me and win.

Since Nicole was all about efficiency and didn't care for unnecessary trouble, she immediately called several of Durobrivae's media reporters without delay, informing them that she would hold a press conference in the afternoon.

As soon as this news broke out, it garnered ridicule from netizens.

'How hilarious! Nicole is rather quick in response. A press conference, huh? Well, isn't she hasty in clearing up her name?'

'Yeah! With such tangible proof, is she planning on holding this press conference just to add more hard evidence to the affair herself?'

'Now, now. Remember, Nicole is in a relationship with Nathan. With Nathan as her backer, she may be able to clear up her name through this press conference.'

Everyone viewed the news of Nicole holding a press conference in the afternoon with nothing but skepticism.

Nicole arrived at the press conference venue early in the afternoon. Natasha was also around, mainly because she badly wanted to see Nicole make a fool out of herself.

Nicole didn't see the need to avoid Natasha, whom she viewed as nothing but a small fry. Instead, she approached Natasha with a smile on her face after she caught sight of her. On the contrary, Natasha was slightly guilt-ridden and didn't dare to look straight into Nicole's eyes. She could only step back a little and couldn't even bring herself to initiate a conversation.

When Nicole saw Natasha's reaction, she smiled. Then, she slowly parted her lips and said, "I have to say, you did a good job this time. Congratulations on successfully drawing all the public opinion to me."

Natasha's gaze was flickering upon hearing such words coming from Nicole. Still, she was smart enough to avoid implicating herself. So, she played dumb and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

When Nicole saw that Natasha wasn't about to admit to her wrongdoings, she didn't say anything else. She merely walked up to Natasha, reached out, patted her on the shoulder, smiled, and said, "The press conference is about to start. You'd better stick around and watch it with your own two eyes."

Natasha couldn't help feeling flustered as she looked at Nicole's calm and collected demeanor. Even so, she pursed her lips, reached out to shove Nicole's hand away, and hissed through her teeth, "I think you should mind your own business instead of worrying about me. Besides, I don't need you meddling in my affairs!"

Regardless, Nicole didn't continue their conversation as she turned around and left.

Several people were attending Nicole's press conference. After all, Nathan's reputation in the entire medical community had always been remarkable. Now that he was suddenly exposed for having a mistress, everyone couldn't suppress their curiosity and wanted to personally be there for the 'hot goss' as it were.

The moment it was time for the press conference, Nicole strode onto the stage with a confident gait. The reason she acted so decisive in this matter was that she was well aware that all her focus was on Colton. She couldn't even be bothered to clarify this matter if it didn't involve Nathan. As a result, she was only dressed in black, loose-fitting casual wear instead of dressing up to the nines as most people usually would. Then, she cut straight to the chase as soon as she came on stage, announcing, "Mr. Zeller and I have no romantic connections. I will be investigating this matter in order to get to the bottom of those rumors. For those who have been cooking up these rumors and refuse to stop spreading them despite my repeated warnings, I shall be seeing you in court."

Everyone present was instantly in an uproar the moment Nicole made her statement. Nonetheless, Nicole was also aware that these words alone wouldn't be enough, so she pursed her lips and continued, "Mr. Zeller and my master are close friends. I did visit Mr. Zeller's house last night, but Mrs. Zeller was also present. She even served me dinner. Therefore, can you enlighten me as to how I turned into a mistress?"
