Chapter 367 Useless
“What idea?” Colton probably didn’t even realize the gentleness in his voice.
“Since Pierre is coming at me, he’ll get green-eyed if I have some form of medical achievement. That way, things will be much simpler,” she explained.
At that, she continued with a smile, “Isn’t there a pandemic in Espad lately that has forced the country into a full-on lockdown, and there’s a team in our country developing a vaccine?”
Colton was somewhat surprised as he looked at Nicole’s determined look with pursed lips. “Are you saying that you want to join the team?”
Nicole nodded in affirmation. “Although I specialize in surgery, I’ve also studied a good amount of medication back when I was learning under White, and I’ve even gained some achievements.”
Moreover, she could definitely join the team if she used her identity as White’s protégé.
“Alright.” Colton didn’t stop her. Gardner Corporation was funding this particular vaccine development team, so it shouldn’t be a problem to add Nicole to the team.
“This time, I’ll make sure Pierre is disgraced if he dares to make another move!” Nicole vowed through gritted teeth. A weasel like Pierre definitely couldn’t stand to see her succeed. Once he made another move, she’d make sure to get back at him for old and new grudges.
Colton knew Nicole was truly pissed this time, for he had never seen her this vicious.
Since this man is doomed, I’ll spare him until Nicole is thoroughly done with him, he thought.

Meanwhile, at Kohlberg Residence, Bryan gave Queenie a ruthless slap on the head. His eyes were filled with darkness, and his face was grimmer than death.
“What use do you have for me when you can’t even get something this simple done?!” Bryan was beside himself with rage. This was supposed to be their final step to success, but who’d have thought that their barks were worse than their bite. Moreover, they ended up with nothing.
He clearly remembered Queenie promising that Benedict would definitely die on his death bed from the very beginning. As such, he had been waiting for this opportunity to take down the Gardners in one fell swoop while they were distracted. However, who’d have thought the news he received instead was that the old man’s surgery had been a success and that he was doing rather well? After all, he had already spent all the money and effort.
Queenie’s face stung after receiving Bryan’s heavy blow.
The only reason she had promised Bryan so was because Pierre vowed that Benedict wouldn’t be able to leave the surgery alive even if God himself had come.
Bryan was overjoyed after receiving the guarantee and instantly got down to taking Gardner Corporation down. Unexpectedly, word was that Benedict’s surgery had been a success.
As such, he instantly hit the brakes. After all, the Gardners could focus on retaliating when the old man was alive and kicking.
By then, not only would he have a hard time in business, he probably wouldn’t have things easy personally either.
Presently, Kohlberg Group was way below Gardner Corporation’s league, and he’d only be serving Kohlberg Group on a silver platter if he attacked the other party when they weren’t having any internal conflicts.
Queenie didn’t dare make a sound despite being hit, for the Anderson Family was now debt-ridden, and she no longer had Colton’s support anymore. Hence, she could only hope to run away from all of this after getting money from Bryan.
At that, she forced tears into her eyes, looking all piteous when she looked up.
“President Kohlberg, Dr. Toth was the one who promised the outcome, though. I didn’t know it would come to this either,” Queenie mumbled with gritted teeth while she sobbed, looking all aggrieved.
As annoyed as Bryan was, he knew he still had use for this woman, so he softened up. “I’m sorry, I got a little ahead of myself. Did I hurt you?”
Queenie knew Bryan wouldn’t blame her anymore when she saw that he had softened up. She whined while resting her arms on his shoulders, saying, “It does hurt a little. I think my face is swollen.”
