Kylie?
How could it be her?
It had been three months since the Celine incident.
Nell was in Tranquil Dwelling when she received an anonymous mail. The email was attached with a voice recording of which she broadcasted to the media and police.
As it was sent by an anonymous, Nell had no idea who the sender was. Nevertheless, since it was available, she thought she might as well put it to good use.
Consequently, it led to the downfall of the Jennings family.
After all that, Nell arranged for someone to investigate the source of the voice recording and through many tracings, they found a digital footprint left behind by Kylie.
She was in shock back then and had thought about searching for Kylie to compensate her.
However, try as she may, Nell was unable to uncover Kylie’s hideout.
Because Kylie stood up for Nell online through a video, testifying that Celine had hired her to drug Nell and set her up, she fell victim to cyberbullying for a very long time.
Although many voiced support and believed in her, more doubt was cast by the outside world.
Hence, when she could not locate Kylie, Nell thought that Kylie had wanted a change of environment and did not pursue the search.
To her surprise, Nell saw Kylie’s resume here today.
She contemplated before sending Hannah a message.
Nell then dialed the number on the resume and put a call through.
In a few rings, the call was connected.
A girl’s clear voice was heard on the other end.
“Hello, how are you? Who am I speaking with?”
“Kylie, it’s me,” Nell muttered.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Kylie’s surprised tone quickly ensued.
“Nell... Nell Jennings?”
Nell smiled. “Yes, judging by your tone, you seem surprised?”
At a loss, Kylie explained, “N-no. I didn’t think that you’d call me. How did you know my number?”
Ever since the incident, she had changed her number as she could not take the harassment from netizens and the media anymore.
Thus, only a handful of people knew of her current number.
Nell raised a brow at her question.
She was slightly taken aback.
“I saw the resume you submitted to Xinghui and called the number on it. Wasn’t the resume submitted by you?”
“No.”
Kylie sharply retorted and paused before adding, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that she would submit it to your office for me. I’m really sorry to bother you.”
She was in a hurry to hang up.
Sensing something amiss, Nell immediately stopped her. “Wait.”
She frowned. “Why does it feel like you’re afraid of me? I don’t recall ever offending you if you don’t consider that time when Nancy took you to the hotel.”
Kylie giggled awkwardly.
“Sister Nell, you’re so funny. You didn’t offend me but I have done you a disservice. I’m looking for a job and I asked a friend to help me send out my resume. I guess she didn’t realize... I know you must hate me after all that I’ve done to you... I’m really sorry.”
Nell grinned.
