“Also, if a person has to take the me, why do you think that it won’t be you?”
Since finding a scapegoat for giarism was not something to be discussed openly, Joanna didn’t
expect Nicole to talk about it so calmly. She looked at Nicole with shock written all over her face, full of
disbelief. “Are you saying that you want me to be your scapegoat, Nicole?”
When she heard the question, Nicole just chuckled without exining any further. She then stared at
her before saying, “Director Schmidt, you should think about the consequences before you do anything.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t know when you’d shoot yourself in the foot.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Even though Whitney stayed quiet the entire time, she was actually gratified deep down after seeing
Nicole’s strong aura. As soon as they left the ce, she gave Nicole a thumbs up and said with a
smile, “It’s so satisfying to see her darkened face!”
After leaving the design department, only then did Nicole say sluggishly, “I’m just giving Joanna a
warning this time. If she dares to do something like this again, don’t me me for not giving her any
more chances by then.”
When Whitney heard what Nicole said, she asked her surprisingly, “Are you saying that you’ll forgive
her this time?”
Nicole scoffed and answered, “I’m not forgiving her, but since she wants to drag us into this, we can’t
let her stay out of it. Let’s just see what she’ll do when the timees.”
After Nicole left, only then did Joanna snap back from her daze. She moved her body and blinked her
eyes while still feeling confused. Did Nicole mean that she’d push me out to take the bullet for her?
Have I really shot myself in the foot this time?
Meanwhile, Kylie went over tofort Joanna once Nicole was gone. “Don’t worry about it, Director
Schmidt. It’s Nicole’s signature on the contract with Aimee International. Even if she wants you to take
the me, she doesn’t have the capability to do so.”
Joanna regained her senses gradually after hearing Kylie’s words. That’s right. Even though I handed
in the design sketch, it’s Nicole’s signature on the contract with Aimee International. Furthermore, the
coboration with Aimee International is under Ann instead of Gardner Corporation. Either way, Nicole
can’t run away from it.
“That’s right. Who cares if Nicole is the Gardners’ savior? After everything I’ve done for Gardner
Corporation, I don’t think they’ll really ask me to leave. At most, they’ll just scold me for it,” Joanna said,
starting to rx a little.
Kylie stood on Joanna’s side too. “Don’t worry. No matter how much Nicole has helped the Gardners,
President Gardner will notply with whatever she says so easily.”
The gloominess on Joanna’s face finally dissipated, and she calmed down a little.
Just when Nicole thought that this matter could still be discussed, she didn’t expect Aimee International
to file awsuit against Gardner Corporation right away. She was so enraged that she nearlyughed
when she saw the subpoena on her desk. Do they have nothing else to do? Are they actually suing
me?
Before she could say anything, she was stopped by Tony as he rushed into her room. “Miss Anderson,
President Gardner is in a meeting with the board of directors. They’re asking you toe over right
now.”
Nicole wasn’t foolish. Without much thought, she knew the reason behind the board of directors calling
her over immediately. Although she hadn’t done anything to cause this, she couldn’t stay out of it either.
After tidying up her attire, she had a calm expression as she nodded without panicking and said, “Let’s
go and see what the board of directors has to say.”

When he saw Nicole’s indifferent expression, Tony started to worry. On the way, he exined the
situation in the meeting to Nicole, saying, “The board of directors feel enraged because of the
subpoena from Aimee International. They said that it’s because of your… ipetence. Hence,
they’re thinking ofying you off from Gardner Corporation and Ann to help them get through this
crisis.”
