Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 815

Chapter 815

The thought of Douglas sent Whitney into affliction. Still, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she replied softly, "Miss Nicole, it's too complicated between Douglas and me. I..."

Nicole lowered her eyes upon hearing that. Whitney had been with her through thick and thin for so many years, so she knew Whitney's temperament well. Nonetheless, she wanted to ease her burden. "Whitney, there are things that, even if you spend your whole life trying to repay, it still won't be enough. So, don't shove yourself into a blind alley."

Whitney's eyes became moist at her comforting words. It had been such a long time since she had someone to share things with, especially without fear, that her eyes turned red-rimmed when she heard those words from Nicole.

Whitney forced a smile on her face, sniffled, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will resolve the matter with Douglas as soon as possible. You don't have to help me regardless of what happens."

As Nicole could sense something was off from Whitney's words, she lowered her voice and warned Whitney seriously, "Don't you dare do anything stupid!"


Whitney merely lowered her head as her nails bit fiercely into her palm. She felt a slight tingling pain, which brought her back to her senses. "Thank you, Miss Nicole." She hung up the phone right after that without a hint of hesitation for fear that she would unleash her true feelings.

Now that the Campbell Family had become an empty shell, the shareholders would become furious since she could not repay them. All that was left for her to do was to wait patiently at home to be arrested.

…

Nicole could not help but feel conflicted when the call was cut off. Whitney had been abroad for a while, and during that period, she became entangled with Ella's affairs and had no time. Then, she had to deal with Madam Gould's incident. While she still had no clear picture of what happened, something definitely went wrong with Whitney.

Nicole pursed her lips tightly, and she looked a little unhappy. She knew Whitney well enough to know that she was unlikely to be able to persuade Whitney to rethink her decision. It also didn't help that she was overwhelmed by her own affairs. Thus, she had no time to help Whitney with her problems.

Besides, Whitney was right about one thing—she could never get involved with others' relationship matters. Nicole clenched her phone tightly at the thought. Whatever she couldn't empathize with before, she finally understood now, given the situation between herself and Colton. There were simply too many things that she could not be in control of, no matter how badly she wished she could.

She sighed softly before masking her disappointment with an aloof expression.
