The Sweet Plunder Of CEO

Chapter 37

Miss. Li was surprised, because she didn't expect that Nicole would refute her like this. In the past, Nicole was a good subordinate and didn't complain about the work arranged by her leader no matter how hard it was. She didn't expect that Nicole would refute her like this today.

Miss. Li shouted at Nicole, "Nicole, come back!"

Nicole ignored her and hurriedly packed her bag and went out. Miss. Li followed her and shouted a few more words, but Nicole didn't take it to heart and wouldn't hear it.

When Nicole was waiting for the elevator, she rushed in as soon as the door opened and almost hit the person who just came out. The people who came out of the elevator were none other than Lambert and his secretary Miss. Yang. Fortunately, Lambert dodged quickly and didn't bump into Nicole. After covering her mouth in horror, Miss Yang looked at the boss's face and remembered something. She quickly turned around and frowned. "Nicole, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything urgent?"

Nicole looked up at the two coldly, ignored them and pressed the elevator button quickly.

Miss. Yang looked at Lambert in confusion.

With a cold face, Lambert asked Nicole, "Now the meeting is about to begin, where are you going to?"

Nicole pressed the elevator door quickly and looked at Lambert through the slowly closed door. Her eyes were still firm and cold. She went downstairs without saying anything.

Lambert was getting more and more upset. 'Nicole is getting more and more disrespectful to me as the general manager. In the past, she only dared to show her cold face to me when no one was around. Now that Miss Yang was here, she was also so arrogant!'

Moreover, when Lambert thought of what had happened to Nicole and Eric, and how respectful Nicole had been to Eric, but Nicole treated him indifferently, Lambert became angrier. 'A self-righteous woman

you are, you would regret it!'

Nicole was not in the mood to consider the feelings of Lambert and Miss. Li at all. For her, Layton was more important than anything else. Since her mother's death, Nicole had been living with her brother. She had done so much for Layton these years. Even if she worked hard under the leadership of Lambert and didn't dare to resign easily, it was for Layton. If there was an accident to Layton, her insistence was meaningless. She couldn't consider the feeling of Miss. Li and Lambert. And she didn't care about her work and future.

Nicole just hoped that Layton was just a narrow escape.' Layton's classmate must have thought wrong. Layton was not that serious. There were many kinds of car accidents in the world, not necessarily all of which would kill people. It was possible that Layton could come back only with a scratch or a little blood, even if one of his legs was broken. It was better than death!

But if one of his legs was broken, what would Layton do in the future according to his superior temperament?'

Sitting in the taxi, Nicole couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought of this.

When Nicole arrived at the People Hospital, she called Layton's classmate and found Layton's ward according to his instructions. However, as soon as Nicole walked to the corridor, she saw several students gathering in the direction of Layton's ward. They were all seventeen or eighteen years old. Some of them were sitting in a chair in a daze, some with their heads buried in their hands, some with their backs against the wall and staring at their toes, and some with one hand supporting the wall and lowering their heads in silence.

These students looked depressed, as if something important had really happened. Nicole's steps became heavy in an instant. She didn't dare to go there in a hurry for fear of facing a bad scene. She just walked over with heavy steps.

The students raised their heads when they saw someone approaching. One of them knew Nicole. He stood up immediately and said, "Nicole..."

The boy was about 1.8 meters tall, strong and fat with a round fat face. It was none other than Justin, the well-known student in the J High School. It was said that no one in the J High School was not afraid of Justin, and even his teacher couldn't punish Justin. However, Layton had been playing with Justin all the time. Regardless of Nicole's repeated advice, Layton was still with this bastard.

Nicole didn't have a good impression on Justin, but she had heard about the family background and deeds of Justin from Layton, so she instinctively had some reverence for this student. If it was not necessary, she would definitely stay away from him.

Nicole nodded and asked, "Is Layton inside?"

Justin looked back at the ward and then looked at Nicole hesitantly. He paused for a moment and nodded. Then he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Nicole anymore.

Nicole bypassed Justin and walked towards the ward. When she approached the door, she found a student crying at the door. Seeing that she was looking at him, the student even called in a low voice, "Nicole." Nicole immediately recognized that the voice was from the student who had just called her to inform that Layton had an accident.

She nodded at the crying student and pushed the door open. But she didn't expect that there were two people in the ward, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged man sat on the chair beside the Layton's bed, bowed his head and sighed, seeming to be very worried. The woman in high heels was pacing back and forth by the window, making a phone call anxiously. These two people were not others, but Lena and Howard.

Nicole was stunned, but he still pushed the door open and closed it.

The two people in the room raised their heads to look at Nicole. Howard slowly stood up, and suddenly showed a little helpless in the face of her sudden arrival. He stared at her for a few seconds before saying, "Nicole, you're here."

Lena, who was on the phone, also stopped for a few seconds. Then she continued to shout at the person on the phone, "You must do it for me. You must. Do you know who he is? He is the director!" Then Lena hung up the phone.

Nicole ignored Howard's greeting and walked towards Layton's bed step by step. She felt that every step she took was as heavy as lead. When she was one meter away from Layton's bed, she stopped moving.

Layton's head was bandaged with gauze, and only his face was exposed. But from the exposed part, it could be seen that he was seriously injured, with bruises on his face and swollen eyes. Layton was wearing an oxygen mask, with an infusion tube in his hand. If Nicole was not too familiar with her brother, she would not be able to recognize him from his fragile and embarrassed appearance.

Howard said, "Nicole, we are trying to find a way. Dad and Lena will never let the police take Layton away, and we will also find a doctor to cure Layton's disease."

Nicole didn't listen to Howard. She walked up and reached out her hand, trying to touch Layton's head. Howard immediately raised his hand to stop Nicole, "Don't touch him. Layton's head was badly hit. It has just been cut. Don't touch his wound."

Nicole couldn't believe what had happened to Layton. Nicole couldn't figure out why Layton had become like this all of a sudden, as if he had lost his breath at any time.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Several students had been bending over the door to watch the movements in the ward. After hearing the noise, they turned around and looked.

They could not help trembling, obviously nervous and helpless. Even Justin, who was fearless of nothing, looked grim and alert.

However, they were still unable to stop the noise of approaching Layton's ward. It turned out to be a woman, who was very short, wearing gold and silver, carrying an expensive bag and wearing a high- heel and was a very tacky fat woman, trying to squeeze into Layton's ward.

Several students including Justin pushed her at the door. They were about to stop her, but the fat woman suddenly went crazy. She picked up her plastic bag with metal and buckled it on the top of the students' heads. Justin and others screamed. It really hurt, but they didn't dare to fight back. The woman fought against these people and rushed out of the encirclement first. She pushed the door open and walked into Layton's ward aggressively.

Nicole didn't like this kind of woman, who was rude and shrewish. Moreover, she broke in with such a loud noise regardless of Layton's serious illness. Nicole was very unhappy and asked the woman with a frown, "Who are you?"

The woman quickly glanced at the three adults in the ward and shouted, "Who is the family of Layton?"

Her voice was aimed at Howard, but Howard lowered his head to avoid her gaze and dared not respond. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole stood out calmly and answered, "Yes, I am. What can I do for you, madam?"

Without saying a word, the woman strode forward and slapped Nicole across the face. Nicole's eardrum was shaken by the slap, and there was a clear sound of ear ringing. She even tasted the smell of blood between her teeth. The slap was so hard that Nicole's face was hurt as if it was burning.

Obviously, Nicole heard Lena sneer behind her. In fact, Lena knew what was going on the moment she saw the woman coming in, so Lena held her arms and watched from beginning to end. When Lena saw that Nicole was slapped but Lena didn't feel sorry for Nicole, she even sneered at Nicole.

Nicole looked at the woman angrily. Before Nicole could say anything, the woman burst into tears. "Give my son back!" Then she burst into tears.

Justin and other students rushed in and shouted at the woman angrily, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Even if it's Layton's mistake, you can't hit his family! Besides, your son is not a good boy. Do you think he didn't hit others?"

The woman didn't care. She picked up the invincible metal bag and wanted to put it on Nicole's head again. But this time, Nicole knew how to dodge, and Justin and others also came up to stop her. The woman couldn't hit Nicole, and her hands were held by Justin and others. She couldn't help kicking her feet, and she almost wanted to throw away her high heels.

She cried all the time, "You give my son back! You give my son back!"

Enduring the pain on her face, Nicole began to realize the seriousness of the matter. Before Nicole could figure out the cause and effect, several more people came in. One was a middle-aged woman in an expensive suit, with short hair, tall and elegant, and two policemen in uniform. Moreover, there seemed to be many policemen standing outside the door, and there were five or six of them. Seeing this, the students were all very nervous. Even Justin released the crying woman subconsciously and hid aside obediently, afraid of attracting the attention of the police.
