Chapter 335 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Mr. Ellison looked at Ms. Thompson and Mr. Kennedy with a cold look of disappointment. "What else do you have to say?" he asked. Ms. Thompson could not find her voice for a moment. Finally, she quibbled and said, "Trust me, we are close friends in private. That was why he gave me the things." Mr. Ellison did not want to listen to her chicanery, so he looked away from them and at Nicole in the back row. "What do you think should be done?" Ms. Thompson and Mr. Kennedy looked at Nicole with expectant and flattering eyes, hoping she would put in a good word for them.
• But when Nicole spoke, she completely tore apart their last fantasies. "After the bet is over, they should be fired," Nicole said. Mr. Ellison had heard about it clearly over the phone when Ms. Thompson and Nicole made the bet, so he nodded. "Okay." Ms. Thompson and Mr. Kennedy's faces turned pale in an instant. When they first came in anger, they had never expected things to come to such an end. They were still the ones who were deciding the fate of Nicole a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, things took a one-eighty and became such an ending. Ms. Thompson shouted indignantly, "Nicole was apparently cheating! Why are you harboring her, Mr. Ellison? Are you all colluding to frame us?"
• Mr. Kennedy heard her hysterical response and quickly kept a distance away from her in fright. ‘‘Only fools will dare to offend Mr. Ellison. As much as I hate Nicole, Mr. Ellison is not just the head of the Royal Creek Institute but also the de facto person-in-charge of the Ellison family." His face collapsed at the thought of this. Instead of getting angry, Mr. Ellison smiled and turned to look at Declan. "Professor Hancock has come to see Nicole in person, yet you two accuse her of cheating."
