Chapter 167 Living With Colton
Colton didn’t come back until almost 6.00PM in the evening.
He had a tinge of tiredness on his face. Nicole sat on the sofa with her head bowed slightly, looking thoughtful.
When she heard the sound of the door, Nicole looked up and saw that it was Colton, and she quickly stood up.
“President Gardner,” Nicole called softly.
Colton hummed in response. He had just come back from the hospital, and the matter had been reported to the police. There would probably be another bloody storm on the Internet tomorrow.
“The matter over there is almost settled, so you don’t have to worry,” Colton said, reaching out and pouring himself a cup of coffee to moisten his throat.
“Daniella… Did she really commit suicide?” Nicole hesitated for a while, but still asked.
Colton’s hand paused, and he shook his head. “The hospital found out that it was because of the sleeping pills. But because it’s been too long and the person had been dead for two days, further investigation is needed.”
Nicole’s face turned pale, and the hands hanging by her sides tightened a little.
Colton looked at Nicole’s pale face and couldn’t help but comfort her. “Although it was found out that the death was due to an overdose of sleeping pills, the possibility of homicide is not ruled out.” Colton paused, looked at Nicole, and continued, “Don’t think too much. We’ll figure out what to do when the results are out. You will stay with me for the next few days. Just call Tony if you need anything. And after this matter is dealt with, you can go home.”
Nicole nodded. After the media found out about this matter, it would definitely be widely publicized, and it would be difficult for her to defend herself if she went out alone. It would be better to stay here and wait for the truth to unfold.
“Okay, then I’ll have to bother you with this.”
…
Back at the Anderson Residence, Lydia was smiling happily. “Nicole wouldn’t be able to wash herself clean of this mess.”
“Although this matter has been suppressed by the Gardners, the heat is too high. When the police release this news, even if they want to suppress it, they will not be able to!” Queenie said happily with a smirk.
This time, Nicole could finally be completely defeated. Although this incident wouldn’t affect Nicole legally, the moral condemnation would definitely give her a huge blow.
“Queenie, even if Nicole doesn’t take legal responsibility, this will be shameful enough for her!” Lydia said.
“Yeah, I want to see what she will do next!” Queenie smiled proudly.
While the two were gloating, Queenie suddenly received a call. She glanced down at the number, and the joy on her face instantly disappeared. She frowned slightly, but she picked it up anyway.
Queenie accepted the call. Her face darkened visibly as she squeezed her phone tightly and gritted her teeth while saying, “Continue watching them, and tell me immediately if there is anything.”
After she hung up the phone, Queenie’s face was almost as dark as night.
Seeing that her face suddenly sank, Lydia realized that something was wrong, so she quickly asked, “Queenie, is something wrong?”
Queenie squeezed her hands tightly and gritted her teeth. “Mom, that b*tch, Nicole, brought her son to live with Colton!”
“What?!” Lydia was startled. Her pupils were full of surprise, and she quickly asked, “How is that possible?”
Queenie had been with Colton for so many years, but she had never once entered Colton’s house. At most, she had only been to the Gardner Residence a few times. But Nicole, the sl*t, actually moved in?
Trying to suppress the anger in her heart, Queenie took a few deep breaths. “I’ve always had someone to keep an eye on Colton’s house, just because I was afraid that some woman would approach him, but I didn’t expect it to be Nicole!”
Right now, Queenie was angry and scared. She knew that Nicole gave birth to Colton’s son. If they spent time together every day, then there was bound to be feelings between them.
She didn’t dare to think about the consequences…
