Chapter 182 Cut the Pretense
Seeing the smirk on Nicole’s face, Lydia felt her heart fall. Is there really a video recording? Then, she forced out a smile. “That’s good if it’s real. Too many things have happened in the past couple of days, and I’m worried that it will do you bad if this recording was fake.”
Relaxing her brows, Nicole thought, Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re up to. “President Gardner was the one who gave it to me. Of course it’s real.”
The expression on Lydia’s face changed, and she looked really uneasy. Opening her mouth, she uttered the words in disbelief, “Colton Gardner?”
“Yes, who else can it be?” Just as Nicole wished, she saw that Lydia’s face had turned sullen.
Lydia held her fists tightly. I didn’t expect that Colton could actually have something like this, she thought, but let out a sigh of relief at the same time. If it’s Colton, he would have exposed it long ago if this voice recording was also a video recording. But since there’s nothing else going on, it shows that this is purely a voice recording.
“That’s good as well. For Queenie’s sake, President Gardner will help you to investigate this matter thoroughly,” Lydia said, trying to convince herself as well as others.
With a grin hanging on her face, Nicole cast her a glance and took a sip of coffee in amusement. After that, she said in sarcasm, “Well, since when does Queenie have such a huge influence?”
Chuckling, Lydia said relentlessly, “Queenie is President Gardner’s fiancée, and he has to help you out since you’re her elder sister.”
Nicole clicked her tongue as she placed back her cup and stirred her coffee a couple of times with the spoon, staring down at the steam fuming from her coffee.
“If President Gardner was doing it for Queenie’s sake, he wouldn’t have given me this recording at all.”
The muscles on Lydia’s face froze, and she acted dumb to what Nicole was hinting at as she said, “It’s good that things have been cleared up and your innocence is proven. Daniella did this to herself, and we can’t blame anyone for it.”

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
