Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Trust

‘Quisling!’ ‘Nicole Anderson is a traitor!’ ‘Anderson disregards human lives!’

At some point, these comments started appearing on the Internet. Even though the authorities didn’t have a concrete result yet, it exploded to the point where everyone thought it was Nicole who did it just because she was detained. Someone had also been fanning the flames from behind the scenes.

It was easy for matters that could potentially affect thousands of lives to arouse the anger of the public.

There were even numerous people who came out and demanded her to have the death penalty despite her not being convicted yet.

Even though she was arrested, her life in jail was still a pleasant one where she was fed, clothed, and served as she usually would due to a lack of evidence and, of course, the Gardner Family’s backing.

Knowing how fervent the discussions about her were, Colton couldn’t help feeling worried, and he paid her a visit.

“The world is saying that you are a traitor. This is only getting worse. Your reputation may be completely ruined if we don’t stop it in time,” he tentatively told her.

The corners of Nicole’s lips lifted. She didn’t seem bothered at all as she raised her eyebrows and told him, “The reason people are so angry is only because they think I am the thief. Pierre intentionally adding fuel to the flames is exactly to smear my name.”

Seeing how unconcerned she was, he asked curiously, “But you can’t find evidence when you are in jail. All the ‘evidence’ available is of Pierre’s doing.”

“I have the evidence. I am just waiting for the right time.” Nicole languidly leaned backward on the stool she sat on.

Colton suddenly felt that he had been worrying in vain these days. He initially thought that she was doomed this time, but he didn’t expect her to still be in high spirits and exuding confidence.

Wiping off the worry on his face, he intertwined his slender fingers and clasped his hands together with slight force. He then softly asked, “Is there anything I can do for you now, Miss Nicole?”

Hearing that, she unhesitantly requested, “Help me get out of here on account of insufficient evidence, but not because I was not the one who stole the data.”
