Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Vilification

Seeing that Nicole had a determined look, Colton suddenly felt like he was worrying for nothing. It turns out Nicole has always been able to handle it with ease.

Then, Colton lowered his head and gave a faint smile. “That’s fine. However, if you don’t clarify, I’m afraid you might face trouble for these days. Let me know if you need me.”

Upon hearing that, Nicole sincerely expressed her gratitude toward Colton. “Thanks.”

The very next morning, Hayden’s fever had also tapered down. Now that there was also a nanny overseeing matters at home, Nicole returned to work at the Gardner Corporation without any worry.

The atmosphere in the room was no longer as tranquil as before the moment she stepped into the Design Department. As soon as she walked through the entrance, she could hear distinct whispers.

“Wow! She still has the nerve to return to the Gardner Corporation.”

“I thought she would be in hiding after she was exposed. What a surprise. Tsk tsk!”

“As the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, she went so far as to plagiarize. Such a disgrace!”

There were further remarks being made about her.

Without any exception given, all of the comments made were vilifying remarks toward her. However, Nicole had no issue about it. After all, plagiarism was indeed ignominious in the fashion designing circle.

At that moment, Joanna appeared out of nowhere. When she heard these words, she scanned the people in the office with her eyes. Then, she said sternly, “Don’t spew nonsense! The issue has not yet been thoroughly investigated, so don’t believe the rumors you hear outside!”

Seeing that Joanna was defending Nicole, one of them stood up and said in a dissatisfying manner, “Miss Schmidt, even the judges of the competition have agreed that the design draft was plagiarized. What else is there to say?”

“Yeah, that’s right! Although we’re not as popular as her, we won’t plagiarize in any case.”

Still, Nicole was not as enraged as expected despite facing animosity in the office. After all, it was a reaction anticipated from a normal human being.
