Chapter 1445 Going All Out
Chapter 1445 Going All Out
Nicole discreetly disguised herself as Elisa, using a meticulously crafted mask, sneaking into and out of the private room, and then hastily dashed out, completely naked.
The sight of the footage left Nicole in a state of utter shock! Linda had assured her that the video had already been resolved, so why did Elisa still have it?
The mockery on Elisa's face was palpable, far more evident than Nicole's shock. With a smile, she taunted, "Nicole, are you really going to keep surrounding yourself with your minions?"
"Step back!"
Reluctantly, Nicole had no choice but to compromise for now.
At that moment, Gareth walked in from outside, his expression ice-cold.
He walked straight to Elisa's side without even sparing a glance at Nicole.
Nicole clenched her teeth; in Gareth's eyes, there was only Elisa!
But she couldn't afford to dwell on that now! She desperately wanted to snatch Elisa's phone yet feared losing her dignity and pride in front of Gareth.
However, Nicole couldn't bring herself to do it, nor did she dare to try!
Elisa saw through her thoughts. She smirked and casually pocketed her phone. Her face had no triumphant expression, but she knew victory was within her grasp!
"Nicole, you're tarnishing my reputation by impersonating me, yet you refuse to admit it. With the evidence clearly against you, you have only one option. Make a public apology statement and expose the people supporting you, or else I will release this video online. I'm sure you wouldn't want the esteemed Tabor family's daughter to become a laughingstock for internet trolls, portraying her as the lead actress in an adult film. And, of course, you wouldn't want the Tabor family's reputation ruined because of your actions, right?"
A cold sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth as Elisa spoke these words. But Nicole couldn't shake the feeling that Elisa was intentionally provoking, mocking, and reveling in the situation.
But!
What Elisa said struck Nicole's vulnerability! She clenched her fist tightly, torn between not wanting to compromise and fearing the destruction of her reputation. Just as she struggled with these two choices, Gareth gave her an indifferent glance.
At that moment, a glimmer of hope flickered in Nicole's heart. She believed that Gareth would surely intervene, considering the Tabor family's image, and provide her with an escape route.
Little did Nicole expect...
Gareth's cold voice pierced the air, "The video will be exposed, and the mastermind behind it will eventually be revealed. There's no point in wasting time on her. She brought this upon herself!"
His words hit Nicole like a bolt of lightning, ruthless and painful.
It stunned her to realize that Gareth had no intention of defending her. That cold glance he had given her earlier was nothing but disdain. And now he was siding with Elisa!
Why? How could he do this to me? How could he?!
Regardless of the diplomatic ties between the Tabor and Wickam families, she couldn't fathom how Gareth could utter such heartless and unprincipled words to her.
Nicole was devastated that the man she loved chose to disregard her feelings and ignore her innocence. He even trampled upon her dignity as an unmarried woman!
Shaking her head in disbelief, she murmured, "Gareth, I did all this because I love you. I've never done anything to harm you. How could you do this to someone who loves you so deeply?"
At that moment, every ounce of Nicole's pride crumbled to dust.
She locked her gaze on Gareth with misty eyes, confronting him with a mixture of sadness and defiance.
But Gareth sneered in response, "If you dare plot against me, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions!"
Nicole's eyelashes trembled, her body tense.
Ah...! This is the true Gareth. Forever cold and heartless.
With a defiant gaze and the realization that she had nothing left to lose, Nicole directed her attention toward Elisa. "Since you're so capable, able to retrieve the tampered surveillance footage, then I dare you to release it on the internet! Let's see who will come out on top of it!"
