Chapter 413 Slander
The next day, the press conference was held as scheduled. Nicole was seen as a traitor and many found her to
blame, which was why many people attended the press conference.
Fortunately, Colton had sent bodyguards over. Otherwise, Nicole would be drowned by the belittlement.
While Nicole was getting ready to pick up Norman yesterday, Norman suddenly called and said he didn’t need her
to come over anymore. It was because he had a friend in the vicinity whom he wanted to meet. Still, he assured
her that he would come the following day to speak with her.
And in the morning, Norman also swore to vouch for Nicole regarding the incident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe press conference was held with profanities thrown around. To them, it was Nicole who stole the information.
Not only that, they were angry that Nicole was using the Gardner Family’s influence to bail herself out of jail.
However, Nicole had a speech on the stage. She said she wasn’t the thief and believed the laboratory would paint
her innocent. Moreover, she brought Norman to vouch for her.
Those remarks made the excited people instantly calm down.
Norman was a world-renowned doctor, so if he vouched for Nicole, the audience would start to wonder if she was
really innocent.
He began to head up the stage after Nicole had finished speaking. His eyes had swept over the crowd before he
spoke in an assuring voice.
“I didn’t expect such a serious matter to occur. Nicole is White’s last and only disciple. At that time, White took her
as his apprentice to practice medicine and cured many patients. To think she would be slandered after all these
years…”
Norman spoke slowly and enunciated every word, which moved the audience’s heart. However, his tone suddenly
changed as he reached the next part of his speech.

“If White was still alive, he would be grieved to see his apprentice fall like this! I had promised to vouch for Nicole,
but after some thinking, I felt it was wrong to vouch for her innocence. Wouldn’t this make her think that if she had
support, she would be forgiven no matter what? So, I broke the promise. In whatever we do, we must bear the
consequences!”
These remarks instantly made the audience cheer.
“Doctor Clancy is right; she should be held accountable!”
“People who steal state secrets should not be forgiven!”
And it went on and on.
Nicole, who was standing on stage, suddenly felt belittled.
Her expression changed as her face turned pale. Then, she took two steps forward up to Norman and frowned,

Norman stood up with an upright expression on his face and said bitterly, “Nicole, I can’t do things that go against
my conscience. I had convinced myself that you are White’s only apprentice, so I should protect you. However, you
stole the state secret. If White is still alive, he will not protect you either.”
A trace of irony flashed in Nicole’s eyes. When Norman got off the plane, Colton had sent someone to shadow him
at that time. And sure enough, Norman went to meet Pierre after getting off the plane.
She wanted to give Norman one last chance and have him prove that he had nothing to do with Pierre. Now, she
regretted that she was too merciful to Norman.
“But Mr. Clancy, I really didn’t do it. If Master White is still alive, he would believe in me,” Nicole said clearly with a
face full of sincerity.
Norman didn’t budge. After all, Nicole’s existence was a significant threat to him. He could only be successful when
her reputation was ruined and no one trusted her.
“Nicole, what you did stands against humanity. It’s useless even if I vouch for you.” Norman proceeded to blame
Nicole.
