Chapter 56 Helping Her Out
Colton was surprised by what Nicole had just said, but he didn’t express it. There was a strange look on his face when he heard Nicole mention the night of her encounter with Joseph just now. The date really matches up with what that little brat told me. His black eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say a word. After all, he had doubted Hayden’s parentage at the time because of how confident the boy sounded as though he had concrete proof, and he had really had the DNA paternity test done on Hayden’s hair, but the results… He chuckled inwardly while quickly banishing those thoughts from his mind. With a hint of a smile on his face, he asked, “In that case, Miss Anderson, how would you like me to help you?”
Nicole pondered for a moment; she had had everything planned out downstairs just now. She said seriously, “Joseph and I agreed to go to the hospital this weekend since the results of the paternity test will only be convincing when the test is done right before us. President Gardner, if you’re free, could you go to the hospital with me?”
Colton smiled. It was easy for him to figure out what Nicole meant, and he nodded with a faint hint of joy in his dark eyes. He was never a meddlesome person, but for some reason, he agreed to help Nicole without hesitation when he saw the message she had sent him. Perhaps it’s just for the sake of our collaboration this time, he thought to himself. “Alright. Miss Nicole, if you have any plans, you might as well tell me the details.” Today was Monday, which was a whole week away from the weekend. There was plenty of time for them to make preparations.
Nicole collected herself. Her plan was simple: she would go to a random hospital by then. After all, if the test done at the hospital she had chosen gave a negative result, it wouldn’t sound convincing enough. She would have Colton secretly swap Joseph’s DNA sample with his own. After all, Colton was unrelated to her son, so the test results would definitely show that Hayden wasn’t Joseph’s son.
She was now skeptical about the report in Joseph’s hands. However, if the report was forged, why would he dare to accost her at Gardner Corporation’s entrance? To avoid unnecessary troubles, she decided to come up with a foolproof plan. No matter whether Joseph was Hayden’s biological father or not, she had to make sure that the results would show that he wasn’t Hayden’s father to avoid unnecessary complications. She briefly explained her plans, whereas Colton’s smile deepened as he listened to her. Without turning her down, he lowered his eyes and replied softly with a nod, “Okay.”
Now that Colton had agreed to go along with her plan, Nicole’s mind was finally put to rest. Actually, it was mainly because Joseph wouldn’t dare to behave too presumptuously in Colton’s presence.
Because of this matter, Nicole wasn’t in the mood to stay in the company. After asking Colton for a day off, she returned home.
…
Meanwhile, Queenie had wanted to take this opportunity to take a dig at Nicole. However, she didn’t expect Nicole to ask Joseph to have another paternity test done on the weekend. If the test were to be done on the spot, she would have no opportunity to do anything. That way, the truth would come to light.
Queenie knew that Nicole had joined Gardner Corporation today as Lisa. At first, she had wanted to seize this opportunity to show Nicole who was the boss. It would be even better if everyone in the company knew about what had happened, for this would make Nicole feel humiliated in the company. However, she didn’t expect Nicole to not be afraid at all. Could she have learned that the one she slept with five years ago was Colton, not Joseph? But judging from her reaction just now, it didn’t seem like she knew about it.
Her expression was somewhat grave, whereas Joseph, the idiot, was still rejoicing over his connection with Lisa.
After casually sending Joseph away, Queenie turned in another direction and went home. I’ve got to establish the fact that Joseph is the father of Nicole’s bastard son. That way, even if Nicole does anything, she’ll never be able to turn things around! As a hint of venom flickered across her eyes, her hand clenched tightly into a fist by her side.
