Chapter 194 A Different Cause of Death

The news stumped Nicole. Lydia went to her mother’s ward five years ago?!

No way would she believe that woman went with good intentions. Could it be…

A possibility flashed across her mind, and at that, her gaze dimmed as her fists clenched on her lap.

Seeing her grim expression, Betty continued, “Nicole, I only saw her walking out. It can’t prove anything, but I’m

sure she was up to no good. I’m just worried that…”

Nicole turned her head to Betty, who wore a hesitant look. At that, she tucked away her ire and smiled a little. “I

know what you’re trying to say, Ms. Betty. Don’t bother yourself with this anymore. I’ll get to the bottom of it

whenever I can.”

Betty nodded upon that, then sighed under her breath. “Madam must’ve been bewitched into marrying William,

that weasel!”

Nicole also agreed that b*stard was unworthy of her mother.

The two talked about many things, from the heavy topic in the beginning to the happy moments in Nicole’s

childhood. All in all, Betty still cared deeply about Nicole as she was glad to learn the girl had grown to support

herself over the years.

Whitney, on the other hand, said nothing, keeping her eyes on the road until they arrived at Betty’s home.

At that, a reluctant Betty bid Nicole goodbye. “This is it, Nicole. Let’s chat some other time.”

Nicole nodded and asked, “Okay. Ms. Betty, why don’t you give me your number? I’ll call you by then.”

After doing so, Betty slowly shuffled out of the car.

 

 

A hint of sobriety crept up Nicole’s face after Betty left and she lowered her eyelids, her mind a mess.

Whitney glanced at the rearview mirror, then stepped on the accelerator. “Miss Nicole, are we heading to President

Gardner’s mansion now?”

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded. Hayden was still over at Colton’s. The plan now would be to pack up and leave before

settling these troubling issues one by one.

From Nicole’s conversation with Betty, Whitney knew that Nicole was bothered by her mother’s death. Sensing the

slight tension in the car, she offered while driving, “Miss Nicole, would you like me to dig into what happened five

years ago?”

However, Nicole shook her head. She had questioned and even dug into it when her mother had just passed, but

she found nothing in the end. What was more, the doctors said her mother’s illness suddenly worsened and she

passed away because they couldn’t save her in time.

“I’ve had my doubts before, but after investigating, I found nothing. We’d be fishing for the moon in the water if we

dig into it now.”

Her mother happened to have passed away when she was selling herself, so after learning of it when she returned,

the monstrous guilt nearly crushed her.

She was riding a man when her mother was bed-ridden…

After burying her mother, Nicole had wanted to follow after her, but who’d have thought the heavens gave her a

surprise named Hayden. It was only then she decided to cling to her life.

It pained Whitney to see Nicole down in the dumps. The Nicole whom she knew had always been confident and the

epitome of a superwoman, not the woman sitting in the back seat right then.

“Better to dig than not, no, Miss Nicole? I’ll look into it first. Who knows we might get lucky…”

At last, a hint of a smile returned to Nicole’s face after hearing Whitney’s words. Her heart tightened as she

pondered, Whitney is right; what if?

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you with it,” she mumbled.

Seeing that Nicole no longer looked glum, Whitney heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “No trouble at all.

After all, the company still pays me as usual even when I do these investigations during work hours.”

Nicole knew Whitney was trying to comfort her, so she smiled and said nothing more.
