Chapter 151 Return to the Gardner Corporation
Henry’s facial expression stiffened. He looked up at Colton, who was beside him. If it’s Nicole, I’m still
somewhat confident. But, if it’s Colton…
“President—” As soon as Henry started to speak, he was silenced by Colton’s icy cold gaze while his
body trembled. He wanted to seek Nicole’s help, but he still could not utter anything.
Turning around, Nicole walked out of the ce without any hesitation.
After giving Henry a light nce, Colton walked out with Nicole without speaking a word.
Nicole walked for quite a distance before her tense facial expression rxed a bit. Then, she lowered
her eyes slightly, and the expression on her face carried a tint of distress.
Trailing behind her, Colton knew she must have felt upset in her heart. Thus, he gentlyforted her
with a few words by saying, “Well, it’s a good thing to see a person’s true nature earlier rather than
later.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” she replied in a low voice. Then, she closed her eyes and took a breath. A smile
tinged her cheeks again, as if she wanted to cheer herself up.
After that, Nicole turned her head around and looked at him. With her lips pulled into a smile, she
added, “President Gardner, the Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel’s products from the summer
line have be increasingly popr now because of the incident. We can take this opportunity to
broadcast some of our advertisements. I suggest that the pre-order period can be advanced to earlier
dates in order to catch up with this popr period.”

Looking at the determined look on Nicole’s face, Colton knew she did not want to talk about this matter
anymore. So, he nodded. “Sure, my thoughts exactly. I’m afraid you guys will be swamped, though.”
Upon hearing that, Nicole shook her head. “It’s no big deal. Besides, this time, it’s not my idea but that
of the entire Design Department of the Gardner Corporation. With everyone hustling hard, we can
launch some of the products first. Then, the remaining products can beunched following the trending
topics.”
“Sure.” Colton agreed.
After that, she followed him back to the Design Department of the Gardner Corporation. The people in
the Design Department disliked her a bit because of the giarism scandal.
Now that things were rified, those people were rather ashamed by their past actions when Nicole
returned to the Gardner Corporation. After all, they had spat those nasty remarks.
Without uttering a word, Colton escorted Nicole to the Design Department. Then, he left after he saw
her off. Needless to say, with President Gardner as her personal escort, she had received the highest
honor indeed.
As Nicole stared at the way those in the Design Department lowered their heads, she smiled. Honestly,
she did not really mind the remarks they had made before.
After all, she did not rify at that time. Besides, she also understood the distaste designers had
toward giarism. Hence, she was not angry.
“In regards to the issue before, I was also at fault for not exining it to you all clearly, so it was normal
for you guys to have some misunderstanding of me,” Nicole said in a voice that didn’t carry much
emotion.
Hearing that Nicole gave them a way out , these people quickly nodded in response. We’re not idiots.
“Miss Lisa, it was my fault that I suspected you before. I hereby apologize to you.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Lisa. We shouldn’t have listened to the rumors on the Inte at that time. We should
have believed you and Miss Schmidt.”
There were furtherments from those around her.
Nicole’s face did not have much expression as she smiled casually. “It’s fine. Everything hase to
light now, and I’m sure there won’t be any more problems in the future. So, I’m still depending on each
and everyone’s efforts in building up the fashion brand for this season.”
The people in the Design Department could not help but admire Nicole’s magnanimity. At the same
time, they all breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that she did not mind what they previously did.
Later, Nicole went into Joanna’s office where Joanna was busy drawing her design drafts. Upon seeing
Nicolee in, she stood up with a smile on her face.
“Miss Lisa, congrattions on clearing your suspicions.”
Nicole also smiled. After all, she should repay courtesy with courtesy, even though it might be fake.
“Yeah, it’s a pity that we didn’t find out the person behind this.”
“What do you mean by person behind this?” Joanna asked, pretending to be puzzled.
However, Nicole did notment much. She shook her head and vaguely said, “Oh, nothing. I just
casually blurted that out.”
“Miss Lisa, you have cleared yourself of the giarism scandal. I’m sure there will be no problem in the
cooperative tie between F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation,” Joanna said.
Compared to Queenie, it is tougher to deal with someone who does dirty deeds without leaving any
traces like Joanna. Still, I won’t be staying long in the Gardner Corporation too. As long as Joanna
doesn’t pull out any dirty tricks during this period of time, I won’t find fault with her.
