Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 156 Rest Assured

Suddenly, Queenie received a phone call from Daniella when she was still in the Anderson Residence.

Upon realizing who the caller was, Queenie frowned. After hesitating for a while, she eventually answered the call.

“Didn’t I tell you not to call me at this crucial moment?”

At present, Daniella had been forced into a tight corner. She couldn’t care less about when it was good timing to

call Queenie. Gritting her teeth, Daniella uttered, “President Gardner accompanied Lisa to visit me at the hospital

today.”

“President Gardner?” Queenie was slightly stunned. “Colton?”

“Is there someone else who goes by the title, President Gardner of the Gardner Corporation, other than him?”

Daniella’s suicidal act was all Queenie’s idea. Queenie told Daniella that she could use public opinion to force Nicole

to drop the lawsuit. Yet, it was completely pointless at this juncture.

“What did they say?” It did cross Queenie’s mind that Nicole would look for Daniella. However, she never expected

Nicole would visit Daniella at the hospital together with Colton.

That b*tch! She even has the audacity to declare her innocence with Colton! It was all a lie!

“President Gardner said nothing. But Lisa told me she’d drop the lawsuit if I tell her the person behind this scandal.”

At once, Queenie felt her heart experience a brief contraction, and she immediately asked, “Did you tell her

anything?”

Upon hearing that, Daniella shook her head and answered, “No, I didn’t. Queenie, you’re the one who assured me

that everything would go as planned. That was why I falsely claimed ownership for the draft. But now, Lisa wants to

sue me. With both F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation supporting her from behind, I have no choice but to

attend the court sessions!”

Slightly enraged, Queenie exclaimed, “Of course I know this! Don’t rush me! I’m currently coming up with a plan for

you!”

Originally, Queenie thought Nicole would drop the lawsuit after being intimidated by public opinion. However, she

never thought that Nicole had such a stubborn temperament.

“Queenie, you better come up with a well-thought plan for me! Otherwise, don’t blame me!”

In addition, Daniella mentioned how Queenie’s persuasion had enabled her to commit self-harm. If it still could not

stop Nicole from proceeding with the lawsuit, then Daniella could only sell Queenie out.

Between wealth and freedom, I choose freedom!

Just then, a trace of malignancy flashed in Queenie’s eyes. She could not help tightening the clench on her phone.

After trying hard to suppress her anger, Queenie consoled Nicole by saying, “Don’t you worry. I surely won’t let

Nicole file that lawsuit against you. After all, we’re in this together.”

Upon hearing that Queenie was willing to help her, Daniella slightly sighed a breath of relief. Phew! I’m glad I didn’t

sell Queenie out just now. Otherwise, I’m not sure if I’d have another escape route.

“As long as you can guarantee that I won’t be imprisoned, I’ll surely won’t sell you out,” Daniella assured.

As Queenie curled her lips upward, a trace of malignancy flashed in her eyes. Then, she slowly said, “That’s good.

Since your fake suicide didn’t work, get yourself discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. After discharging

from the hospital, contact no one and wait for me. I’ll go find you.”

A brief joy sparked in Daniella’s heart. “Have you thought of a plan?”

Once again, Queenie reassured Daniella by saying, “You bet. I most certainly won’t let Nicole file that lawsuit

against you.”

With Queenie’s firm guarantee, Daniella soothed her anxious feeling. Then, she talked happily for a while before

she hung up.

After she hung up the call, Queenie’s grip on her hand started getting tighter to the point that the joints of her

fingers began to turn pale.

Staring at Queenie, Lydia noticed that she did not look well. Therefore, she could not help but ask, “Queenie, is

there something wrong? Did something happen?”

Breathing out a sigh, only then did Queenie loosen up the tightness of her face. After that, she turned her head and

looked at Lydia. As she gritted her teeth, she uttered, “Mom, can you believe that b*tch, Nicole? She would rather

withstand the public pressure than drop the lawsuit!”

Feeling as if the shock within her had just been unlocked, Lydia exclaimed, “What?” Then, she furrowed her

eyebrows. However, she had everything figured out clearly in a flash. “Well, we have completely removed ourselves

from this case and have gotten what we aimed for. I suggest that we should just let Nicole proceed with the

lawsuit.”

If only it were really that easy. Queenie shook her head and added, “If Daniella is truly sued, I’m afraid she’ll be

sentenced to prison. According to Daniella, Nicole won’t drop the lawsuit if she doesn’t reveal the person behind the

matter. If we can’t find any other ways to get Nicole to drop the lawsuit, I speculate Daniella will sell me out!”

Whoosh! Lydia instantly stood up after she heard Queenie’s words. “No way! Absolutely no way!” If something

happens to Queenie, the whole Anderson Family will be doomed!

A dark shade covered Queenie’s eyes, and she turned to look at Lydia. Then, she uttered under her breath, “Mom,

dead men tell no tales.”
