Chapter 148 Adapt to the Situation
When Nicole left the courtroom with Whitney, the reporters were already waiting outside.
“Miss Lisa, why didn’t you explain the plagiarism before this? Why are you only coming forward now to say that it’s
your design from many years ago?”
“That’s right, Miss Lisa. Can we assume that it’s a publicity stunt?”
Obviously, she had already won the case, so she didn’t expect that this group of reporters would still ask such direct
and unfriendly questions.
“Miss Lisa, why didn’t you explain that this design belonged to you so that none of this would’ve happened?”
Nicole looked over. The person who asked this question was a man in his early twenties, wearing a plaid shirt and
black-rimmed glasses.
She remembered meeting this person at the press conference last time, but she didn’t expect him to be here now.

All of his questions were targeted at her.
Nicole raised her eyebrows, then looked at the man and asked, “Didn’t I say that I didn’t plagiarize the design? But,
did you believe it?”
Seeing as Lisa was asking him a question, the man brazenly said, “Then, you could have released the evidence
before this. Obviously, you could’ve cleared the suspicion early on, but you delayed it until now. Aren’t you trying to
pull a publicity stunt?”
Nicole was a little amused, and the corners of her lips curled up. Faced with his constant questioning, Nicole replied,
“Sir, netizens are the ones slandering me for plagiarism. I said that I didn’t plagiarize, but none of you believed it.
Afterward, someone came forward to defame me. Why don’t you ask her why she defamed me? Instead, you’re
asking if I was pulling a publicity stunt?”
She paused, then sighed before continuing, “When I was previously slandered for plagiarism, you pursued me to
ask why I plagiarized. Now that I’ve cleared my name, you’re pursuing me to ask if it’s a publicity stunt? Can I also
suspect that you’re paid to deliberately make things hard for me?”
Despite Nicole’s argument, the man didn’t back down at all. With a blank expression, he said righteously, “I just
want to seek the truth.”
Before Nicole could speak, a cool voice rang out from the side.
“If you really want the truth, you should ask the people inside why they slandered Miss Lisa instead of being
aggressive here,” Colton said in a cold voice, his expression solemn.
He glanced at the crowd, then cleared his throat and continued, “I don’t know who’s behind this incident, but what
is certain is that this person wants to destroy the cooperation between F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation.”
After Colton finished speaking, his gaze fell on the person who had just fired questions at Nicole before he cast a
quick glance at his name tag. “Daily Entertainment Express. All the websites under the Gardner Corporation will no
longer cooperate with you.”

As soon as Colton spoke, the man’s expression changed, and his voice trembled a little. “President Gardner, you
can’t use your power for personal revenge!”
The Gardner Corporation’s largest industry wasn’t clothing, but network technology, so any media company would
be involved with them. Colton’s statement was equivalent to ending their business.
Looking up, Colton sneered, “You can’t possibly want me to discuss my company’s decisions with you.”
Now, the reporters could see that Colton was clearly partial to Lisa!
Afterward, the reporters learned to be wise and picked some good questions to ask.
“Miss Lisa, do you have any plans for the person who defamed you?”
“That’s right. The slandering had a great impact on your reputation. Will you continue with the lawsuit?”
Nicole smiled, thinking that these people were sensible for being able to adapt to the situation.
“As she wishes, I will file a lawsuit and completely clear my name,” Nicole answered.
