Chapter 306

After driving Eliana to the cafe, Nicole returned to the shooting site. Her mind wandered the entire trip.

She was still thinking about Eliana.

Nicole believed that Cheryl was behind everything that just happened.

Noticing that Nicole was staring into space, Esteban knew that she was thinking about meddling in

other people’s business again.

He sincerely advised, “You don’t have to worry about Eliana. Let her deal with her problems herself.

Don’t you know that your involvement in her mess is already the Internet’s top search? You might not

succeed in helping her, and you’re going to get yourself in trouble. It’s not good for your reputation.”

Unfortunately, Nicole didn’t want to listen to Esteban.

“Enough, Esteban. I know the potential consequences, but I will still stand up for Eliana because she’s

my friend.”

Eliana was more than just an acquaintance to Nicole at this point.

She was her friend, and if her friends were in a pickle, she would be there to help.

Meanwhile, Cheryl was happy to see the news all over the Internet.

Not only did she get rid of the stain on her name, but she also took revenge on Eliana. Everything went

along so perfectly.

“Come here,” Cheryl said, hooking her finger at her stylist. “Put two more powder on my face. Make me

look weak and innocent.”

The stylist did as Cheryl ordered.

Then, Cheryl tried her best to look pitiful and called her assistant over to take a few photos of her.

Cheryl carefully selected two photos and used an application to edit them for half an hour.

After the process was completed, she posted the photos on Facebook with satisfaction.

“God is fair. The truth has finally come out, and my name is finally cleared.”

The post caused a stir as soon as it dropped on the platform. Cheryl’s fans began to celebrate in the

comments.

A great deal of netizens that were deceived by the so-called rumors about Cheryl began to trust her

again.

After that, Cheryl casually browsed the comments on her post and said with a smile, “Now no one will

suspect me again.”

“Of course. You are really smart.”

Cheryl’s assistant stood aside and beamed at her boss. When she was about to praise Cheryl again,

she saw Nicole walking toward them, her high heels clicking madly against the floor.

The assistant’s compliments got stuck in her throat. She quickly signaled Cheryl to look behind her.

Confused, Cheryl turned around and saw Nicole standing behind her.

“Nicole? What are you doing here?” Cheryl frowned.

“Do you really not know why I’m here? I want you to take back the lies you spread about Eliana.”

Nicole came straight to the point.

“Lies? That’s ridiculous! And who do you think you are?” Cheryl said with a mocking smile. “To be

honest, Eliana deserves it. She has made too many enemies. It’s her fault. Someone asked me to join

forces and teach her a lesson. This whole thing wasn’t my idea. I just contributed.”

There was actually someone else behind this mess.

Nicole asked, “Who is it? Who recruited you in the cause to destroy Eliana?”

“Do you think I’m an idiot? I’m not going to tell you,” Cheryl scoffed and cackled. “You are getting more

and more naive, Nicole. You’re in the entertainment circle yourself. You should know that this kind of

slander can’t be removed so easily. And why do you care anyway? It’s not even your reputation that’s

in jeopardy.”

Looking at the arrogant look on Cheryl’s face, Nicole gnashed her teeth together. She was so angry

that she wanted to beat Cheryl up. She hadn’t had the impulse to choose violence in a long time.

Seeing that Nicole was about to lose her temper, Esteban hurried to her side.

“Relax, Nicole. Don’t get angry. It’s bad for your health.”

However, Cheryl didn’t stop and continued to mock Nicole, “I also heard that the CEO of the Moran

Group, Maurice, was close to Eliana. But we all know that the Moran family will never accept a woman

like her. I suppose I get why you feel like you have to defend Eliana. Weren’t you also despised by the

Todd family because of your poor family background? Birds of the same feather indeed flock together,

huh?”

At this moment, the thread of Nicole’s patience and reason finally snapped.

She went over and slapped Cheryl hard across the face.

But just a slap wasn’t enough. Before anyone could react, Nicole picked up the loose powder on the

dressing table and rudely put it on Cheryl’s face.

Choking, Cheryl coughed and struggled to breathe.

All the people present were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to pull them apart. The scene went

chaotic in a matter of seconds.
