Chapter 241
Nichole was startled. She was just an intem. How could she be invited to a dinner meeting?
Ada said, “I remember you mentioned that you often attend various dinner meetings and parties, right? You have experience, and I have high hopes for you.”
Hearing Ada say this, Nichole indeed felt a boost of confidence. She might not excel at much, but after accompanying James to so many parties, she was quite familiar with the drill.
Once Ada returned to the office, she quickly dialed Sophie’s number. “Ms. Sophie, I’ve spoken to her as you instructed.”
“Good.”
“Also, I think I saw Nichole with two cell phones earlier.”
“Two?”
Sophie was puzzled. It wasn’t unusual for someone to have two cell phones though, so she said lightly, “Let’s not worry about that for now. Just take Nichole to the dinner tonight.”
“Understood, Ms. Sophie.”
Sophie hung up the phone, looking at the file in her hand.
She believed the answer would soon reveal itself.
In the evening, Nichole changed into a dress previously gifted by James and went to the restaurant with Ada.

Nichole was brimming with confidence upon arrival at the restaurant, but as soon as the private room’s door opened, the smile on her face froze.
Inside the room were none other than the high–rollers she had accompanied last time. At that moment, those men were eyeing her with keen interest.
Nichole froze in place, unable to move.
Ada was puzzled, glanced at Nichole, and asked, “Why aren’t you coming in?”
Ada, who are they?”
“These are some of the clients our company has been negotiating with lately. You cannot offend them.”
Ada smiled, then pulled Nichole inside, whispering, “Don’t worry, these are all legitimate businessmen. They won’t do anything to you.”
Nichole was trembling. They wouldn’t do anything to her? Every one of these men was not someone to trifle with..
Nichole, suppressing her disgust and anxiety, sat next to Ada, but next to her was a greasy middle–aged man.
He seemed to have had some drinks, and his gaze on her became more blatant.
“Ada, I’m scared… Nichole’s demeanor did not seem feigned.
Ada glanced at the executives nearby, then at Nichole, before saying, “It’s okay, it’s just for an hour, and we’ll leave soon.” –
At that moment, Ada picked up her phone. It seemed there was something important, and Ada said, “Nichole, wait here for a moment. I
moment. have to take this call. I’ll be right back.”
“Ada!”
Nichole tried to grasp Ada, but Ada had already stepped out. The next second, Nichole’s face turned pale.
“Nichole, your mother owes me a huge gambling debt. How do you plan to pay it off?”
“I… I thought… Wasn’t it settled last time?” Nichole tried to stay composed, but her body began to shake violently.
One of the men placed his hand on Nichole’s shoulder. “Your mother has owed us for five years! You think it was settled just like that?” “Please, let me go…”
Nichole’s tears uncontrollably fell.
