Chapter 589 A Confused Avery
Nicole''s heels clicked against the floor as she made her way into Felix''s office and shut the door behind
her.
Her movements were graceful as she sauntered over to his desk. Slowly, she removed her sunsses
as Felix gaped at her in surprise.
“Ms. Lambert, how may I assist you?” Felix asked as he straightened his back and put on his sses.
With a smile, Nicole retrieved a check for ten million from her pink handbag and slid it toward him.
“I require your assistance with something, Dr. Sollo,” she said.
Felix''s heart sank as a sense of foreboding filled him despite her sweet smile. “What can I do for you,
Ms. Lambert?” he asked, knowing that her request would not be a pleasant one.
As expected, his heart went cold upon hearing her words.
“I need you to manipte the DNA report you conducted for Evangeline so that it matches my parents''
DNA. It should be an easy task for you, right? You know what I mean, Dr. Sollo. I heard that you just
purchased a new mansion and could use some extra funds. This check is a small gift from me to you.”
Felix abruptly stood up, causing his sses to slide down his nose.
He chided righteously, “Ms. Lambert, this is against my professional ethics. I will do no such thing. You
know very well who your father is. The professional career that I have built up over the years will be
ruined if he finds out that I rigged the report. Please take your cheque away, Ms. Lambert. I will not go
against my conscience to ept this ck money even if I need extra funds.”
Nicole''s lips curved into a wicked smile as she stared at Felix. “How bold of you to say that, Felix. I
hope you don''t regret itter,” she taunted. With deliberate intent, she walked past his desk and stood
before him, her fingers already working to tear her blouse apart.
Her v-neck off-shoulder sleeveless top revealed part of her cleavage, and as she ripped her top apart,
little was left to the imagination.
“W-What are you trying to do?” Felix tried to stand up as he watched on warily, but Nicole forced him
back into his seat.
Despite his efforts, he was no match for her due to his advancing age.
Straddling him, she started to unbutton his dress shirt, her hands moving with swift purpose, revealing
his small t chest.
“You''re shameless!” Felix shouted as anger and humiliation surged through him.
He forcefully pulled Nicole''s hands away from him in a desperate attempt to throw her off of him.
Nicole began to rub her chest against Felix''s, her actions growing increasingly aggressive. She leaned
in and whispered into his ear, “Felix, I know you''re concerned about your future and what could happen
if this gets out. But if you don''t do what I say, I''ll make sure your reputation is ruined right here and now.
What do you think will happen if I shout for help and tell everyone you''re trying to rape me?”
“You''re threatening me,” Felix said shakily. He tensed up, his mind racing.
Nicole grinned, poking at his chestzily. “How could you say that? I''m paying you good money right
now, Felix. Don''t be so boring. You have two options, take the money and do as I say, or have your
reputation destroyed. You''re a smart man. You know what to do.”
He couldn''t believe he was being threatened by a woman younger than his daughter.
How is it that everyone describes the daughter of Mr. Lambert to be well-educated and graceful? She''s
so maniptive and cruel. How disgusting!
Felix''s face twitched, and he shook with anger.
Despite his disgust, Felix ultimately gave in as he thought of his future, his daughter who he was about
to send abroad, and his othermitments.
In the end, his desires overcame his rationale. With shaky hands, he reached for the check. “Okay. But
you have to promise to keep this a secret,” he said, feeling defeated.
Nicole removed herself from Felix''sp and slowly straightened her top to appear more presentable.
“You''re a smart man, Dr. Sollo. We''re in this together now, so don''t worry. Why would I betray you for
no reason?”
Felix''s eyes squeezed shut as he struggled to contain his fury. The bulging veins on his forehead were
a clear sign that he was seething with rage.
Nicole sneered, grabbed her handbag, and made her way toward the door.
However, just as she was about to leave, she turned around, removed her butterfly hair clip, and
pointed it at Felix. “Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Dr. Sollo. This butterfly hair clip of mine is actually a
mini video camera that has recorded our entire conversation just now. So don''t you dare try to y
games with me! If you don''t give me what I want, I guarantee your reputation will be destroyed. You
won''t be able to find work in the medical industry ever again.”
Felix turned pale at her words.
With that, Nicole left with a satisfied smirk.
She had made it clear to Felix what the consequences would be if he dared to defy her. She believed
that he wouldn''t dare betray her, as she preferred her adoptive parents to think of Evangeline as their
biological daughter rather than Avery who she despised.
Meanwhile, at Trident Group, the design department weed a new employee on Monday,
Evangeline.
Trevor personally made sure that Evangeline was settled in the design department, as Xavier had
requested.
Evangeline officially became part of the design department after a weing ceremony was held for
her.
Avery was also delighted to have Evangeline on board.
After all, she wouldn''t have been able to clear her name so easily if it wasn''t for Evangeline''s testimony
when she was falsely used of cheating during the exam.

However, she couldn''t help but notice how Evangeline''s appearance had transformed in just a few
days.
While she had looked stylish during the exam, her clothes seemed cheap, possibly bought online. But
now, she was dressed head-to-toe in expensive clothing, even sporting diamond earrings. Avery
thought she looked like a real socialite now.
Despite her initial surprise at Evangeline''s sudden transformation, Avery was not one to judge a book
by its cover.
She was open to befriending anyone with good character.
Turning to Evangeline, who was seated beside her, Avery greeted her enthusiastically. “Wee to the
design department, Evangeline. I''m so happy we''re colleagues now and that you''re seated next to me.
If you need any help in the future, don''t hesitate to ask.”
“Sure, of course.” Evangeline nodded enthusiastically as she surveyed the design department.
What a fantastic work environment. Trident Group really is impressive. This ce is so much better
than my previouspany.
She never expected tond such an incredible job simply by testifying for Avery in front of the
examiner.
However, as Evangeline thought about Avery''s husband, Cayden, she felt a surge of jealousy.
How did such an exceptional man like Cayden end up with someone as ordinary as Avery
