Nicole nodded with a smile. “Yeah, we can leave now.” “Then let’s go.” Lulu just wanted to leave. To her, it will only feel like it was over once they stepped out of there.
Nicole found her reaction amusing. After completing the necessary procedures, she left with Lulu.
Once they were in the car, Lulu finally felt like she could breathe normally again. She could not help but pat her chest and say, “Oh my, I couldn’t even take a deep breath in there.”
“Then you didn’t have to come with me.” Nicole shook her head gently.
“Hey, I was worried about you.” Lulu stuck out her tongue to Nicole. She was nervous, but she would still accompany Nicole even if it meant overcoming the psychological distress she felt.
Nicole smiled warmly. “Everything’s fine now, so you can relax.”
“But what exactly happened earlier? Why did Dillon end up getting arrested?” Lulu was confused. ‘Weren’t those pieces of evidence against Nicole?’
“Dillon did get hold of some evidence, but he didn’t know that the evidence was given to him by Everett. He thought he had found evidence against me and was going to report me. He accused me of bribing the fund manager and
manipulating the stock market with malicious intent. He even had all sorts of evidence prepared.” Nicole shook her head, feeling resigned. She could not even be bothered to do such a thing. Besides, even if she did it, there would be no evidence left behind.
“Oh, so Dillon was set up by Everett,” Lulu realized. If the evidence was fake, the police would naturally discover that he had fabricated evidence when they looked into this case, which ultimately led to his arrest.
“You can say that Everett is sitting back and reaping the benefits quietly,” Nicole explained. No matter who got into trouble, Everett would still benefit from it.
“He’s really taking advantage of the situation. How despicable!” Lulu sighed disdainfully.
“He’s cunning indeed.” A glint of determination flashed in Nicole’s eyes as she continued, “But I’m not that easy to manipulate.”
If Everett wanted to benefit from the situation, he still had to go through her.
Lulu’s curiosity was piqued as her eyes widened. “What do you have in mind?”
“Dillon isn’t someone who would willingly take a loss,” Nicole said. If Dillon found out that Everett tricked him, there might be an interesting show to watch.
Lulu also understood what Nicole was trying to say. “Then we’ll watch the dogs bite each other.” She could not help but smirk.
Excited the whole time, Lulu noticed that the car had finally stopped, and they had arrived back at the Riddle residence.
After getting out of the car, they made their way to the top floor.
Just as they stepped out of the elevator, they ran into Sean and Steve. Seeing Nicole return, they looked visibly relaxed and asked, “Are you okay?”
Noticing their slightly concerned expressions, Nicole understood that they must have known that she was called in for questioning.
“I’m fine,” Nicole explained with a smile. “I didn’t want to disturb you when I left because you were in a meeting.”
“From now on, no matter what happens, you have to inform us immediately,” Sean responded sternly.
When they were done with the meeting, they were shocked to hearthat Nicole had been summoned by the investigative department. They were extremely worried that something might happen to Nicole.
Knowing that they were worried about her, Nicole reassured Sean and Steve, saying, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
“So tell us what happened. How did it go?” Steve asked in a deep voice.
Since Nicole had returned, it probably meant that she was fine. But what about Dillon?
After Nicole briefly explained the situation, Sean and Steve finally felt relieved.
