Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Subpoena

“Also, if a person has to take the blame, why do you think that it won’t be you?”

Since finding a scapegoat for plagiarism was not something to be discussed openly, Joanna didn’t expect Nicole to talk about it so calmly. She looked at Nicole with shock written all over her face, full of disbelief. “Are you saying that you want me to become your scapegoat, Nicole?”

When she heard the question, Nicole just chuckled without explaining any further. She then stared at her before saying, “Director Schmidt, you should think about the consequences before you do anything. Otherwise, you wouldn’t know when you’d shoot yourself in the foot.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Even though Whitney stayed quiet the entire time, she was actually gratified deep down after seeing Nicole’s strong aura. As soon as they left the place, she gave Nicole a thumbs up and said with a smile, “It’s so satisfying to see her darkened face!”

After leaving the design department, only then did Nicole say sluggishly, “I’m just giving Joanna a warning this time. If she dares to do something like this again, don’t blame me for not giving her any more chances by then.”

When Whitney heard what Nicole said, she asked her surprisingly, “Are you saying that you’ll forgive her this time?”

Nicole scoffed and answered, “I’m not forgiving her, but since she wants to drag us into this, we can’t let her stay out of it. Let’s just see what she’ll do when the time comes.”

After Nicole left, only then did Joanna snap back from her daze. She moved her body and blinked her eyes while still feeling confused. Did Nicole mean that she’d push me out to take the bullet for her? Have I really shot myself in the foot this time?
