Chapter 256 Confirmation of Birth
Joanna wasn’t listening to Queenie’s words at this point. All she knew was that she and Nicole were definitely irreconcilable!
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Queenie suddenly started acting all weak and pitiful. She leaned forward slightly and cried, “Director Schmidt, at least we are in the same boat when it comes to dealing with Nicole.”
Joanna stared at her for a while before she asked coldly, “Nicole is still your sister. Why do you hate her so much?”
Queenie knew that Joanna wouldn’t be convinced if she couldn’t give her a plausible reason. Ignoring the pain in her chest, she confessed, “Because she is the reason Colton wants to break off his engagement to me! I hate Nicole!”
Joanna couldn’t help being surprised to know that Colton wanted to break up with Queenie. She had never seen Colton with a woman for all the seven years she worked at the company until Queenie’s appearance.
As if she came out of thin air, there were no signs prior to Queenie’s appearance. Joanna didn’t even know what Queenie had done for Colton to directly make her his fiancée.
Just being the holder of such a title itself had immediately increased the Anderson Family’s net worth by tenfold.
Queenie had also been living a few blessed years because she was the fiancée.
“Does President Gardner fancy Nicole?” Joanna wondered. She had noticed how differently Colton treated Nicole, but she always thought that his special treatment toward Nicole was only because she was from F&M Apparel.
“Of course! Just think about it—hasn’t he taken her side a lot of times?!” Queenie asked through gritted teeth.
Joanna lowered her eyes after hearing that. At the very least, she knew that Queenie wasn’t lying about this.
After collecting her thoughts, she said without much expression on her face, “Okay.”
Queenie knew that Joanna’s hatred for Nicole had deepened after this, and that was all she needed for now. Smiling sweetly, she gave the final push. “Director Schmidt, only by working together can we finally bring down Nicole. You will end up with nothing if you continue letting things go her way!”
Joanna didn’t answer, and only stood up to leave.
Nicole Anderson, I will never let this go without taking my revenge!
…
When night fell, Richard went to the Gardner Residence to look for Anna.
He had hurried to Anna after the DNA paternity test report came out. He didn’t even stop to take a sip of his tea.
Anna was full of smiles as she lowered her gaze to read the test report she held in her hand.
“I knew it! How could that punk Colton hide this from me? I knew there was no way a child as bright as Hayden isn’t his!”
The red words on white sheet were confirmation that Hayden was, indeed, Colton’s biological son.
Although Richard already had his answer when he saw Hayden, he was still surprised when the results came out.
“I could never expect that emotionless log of a man would end up having such a grown kid!” Richard shook his head and sighed.
Anna was in a good mood now as she looked at the report in her hand cheerfully. She finally had the grandson she longed for.
While she was ecstatic, she suddenly turned to look at Richard when she remembered something. “Have you mentioned this to Colton?” she asked.
Richard shook his head. When the report came out, he had rushed over in the dark of night, thinking that Anna urgently needed it.
A look of relief appeared on her face when she saw him shake his head. “That is good. Don’t you say a word if Colton asks about it.”
Richard looked confused upon hearing that. He couldn’t help asking why as he looked at the smile on Anna’s face.
Word by word, Anna slowly explained, “He will definitely find another excuse if he knew. The best way is to confirm this matter! I won’t allow anyone from the Gardner Family to live a life astray!”
Richard, who had a rough idea what Anna was up to, only nodded wordlessly.
Anna was still somewhat worried as she looked at him and warned, “I will tell on you to your father if you leak this out. I will make it so that you can’t leave the country and have no choice but to take over your family business.”
Richard was at a loss of words for a moment. Anna’s threat had worked effectively as she poked right where it hurt. “Don’t worry, Aunt. I am the best at keeping secrets!” Richard was even about to raise his hand to swear that his lips were sealed.
