    Chapter 159 Two Unlucky Omens


    Nicole looked at the design draft for a while. For some reason, she felt a sudden difort in her


    head. Immediately, she reached out her hands and rubbed her eyes. After thinking for a while, she


    simply stood up.


    The events of the past few days weighed on her one after another—maybe she was just too tired.


    Nicole decided to go out for a walk to let loose some of her uneasiness.


    As soon as she walked out of the office, the people back in the office started to discuss amongst each


    other excitedly and noisily.


    “Have you heard about what happened on the Inte recently? Could it be possible that Lisa really


    wants to force Danie to a deadend?”


    “Yeah, in Danie’s video, she said that if Lisa didn’t withdraw herwsuit, then she didn’t want to live


    anymore. If Danie actually dies, then would Lisa be the murderer?”


    “Now that Danie has lost her job and was kicked out of the Pinnacle Group, Lisa would just be


    pushing it if she still doesn’t let go of her.”


    They continued toment on the incident in the office.


    When Joanna returned and passed them by, she happened to hear their discussion. She was secretly


    happy because she didn’t expect that Nicole was this unpopr among the rest. Whether she was right


    or wrong, people still did not like her.


    When she saw that they were going to continue discussing, shezily said, “Okay, let’s not discuss


    these things here. Lisa is an honored guest from F&M Apparel after all, so we can’t criticize her behind


    her back this way.”


    When everyone heard Joanna’s words, they all stopped and turned to look at her.


    “Joanna, you are such a good-natured and generous person. You are still standing on Lisa’s side to


    speak up for her when her rumors are spreading like wildfire on the Inte.”


    When she heard thesepliments, Joanna just smiled slightly. She reached out and patted the man’s


    shoulder.


    “It’s not that I speak up for Lisa; it’s that we are still cooperating with F&M Apparel, and we should


    cooperate well. So don’t say anything that will get people in trouble,” Joanna said while scanning the


    crowd.


    Everyone nodded in understanding.

    Nicole came out of thepany building. She wanted to go outside for a walk ande back, but the


    moment she went out, she saw Queenie and William.


    The two of them just got out of the car and were about to go inside when they bumped into Nicole.


    Seeing them, Nicole frowned slightly and wanted to leave through the side, pretending as if she didn’t


    see them.


    But William quickly grabbed her and said calmly, “Is this how you act when you see your biological


    father?”


    William’s grip on her wrist was slightly strong, and her wrist hurt. Feeling his painful grip, Nicole


    withdrew her hand while frowning uncontrobly and asked in a cold voice, “What? Should I politely call


    you Dad?”


    William was angered by Nicole’s words. His expression distorted as he stared at her, and he scolded,


    “What are you talking about? I am your dad!”


    Nicole heard the slight anger in his voice, but smiled instead. She narrowed her eyes on him, and spat


    with a smirk, “You kicked your own daughter out of the house, and won’t even help her when she’s


    down—what kind of father is that?”


    William’s entire body was trembling at Nicole’s words, and Queenie hurriedly stepped forward to


    comfort him.


    “Nicole, watch how you speak to Dad! No matter what happened, he was the one who gave life to you.


    You must at least have some respect for him!”


    When faced with Queenie’s questioning, Nicole just raised her eyeszily and uttered with a cold snort,


    “Out with it already. I don’t have so much spare time to speak nonsense with you here.”


    She might as well have stayed upstairs if she had known that she would meet these two unlucky


    omens when she went downstairs.


    William breathed a sigh of relief and finally stated the purpose of his trip. “Fine. Withdraw thewsuit.”


    When Nicole heard William’s words, she couldn’t hold back and burst outughing. She looked at the


    person in front of her with a smile on her face. How on Earth does he have the face toe to me and


    ask me to withdraw thewsuit? This is ridiculous!


    “Why should I listen to you?” Nicole asked. “Or let’s put this this way: Who do you think you are to me?”
