Chapter 22 Andersons’ Interrogation
Before she could walk away, she was stopped by Colton’s grab, to which she, halting her steps, turned
to look at him as she tried to shake him off. With a frown, she asked, “What are you doing?”
Colton swept his gaze across the woman’s figure. At that moment, the once-delicate makeup of the
woman before him was smeared by her tears as tiny red veins surged in her eyes. She was nothing but
miserable. Due to her hastiness, the bottom part of her gown was all crumpled and stained by dirt.
Unlike the graceful Lisa she was one hour ago, she now resembled a pitiful stray puppy. As he
withdrew the odd look in his eyes, with his raspy voice, he uttered, “Go get changed. I’ll send you
there.”
Nicole lowered her head and took a look at herself, only to find that she, indeed, seemed pathetic. She
then nodded and went back into her house. Followingly, she changed into a rather casual outfit, but she
didn’t have time to remove her makeup. As she exited her room, she gathered her messy hair and tied
it behind her head with a black rubber band. Regardless, her appearance wasn’t anywhere atrocious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving changed into casual wear from her gown, she appeared notably younger.
“Let’s go. To Anderson Residence.” She dragged Colton, who she, in that instant, perceived as her life
savior, as if she was comforted by the man’s existence.
Colton peered at the aggressive woman in front of him and how she intuitively grasped his wrist as she
thoughtlessly dragged him forward. In the past, he would have confidently considered such behavior as
a woman’s flirtation tricks.
Having descended the stairs, Nicole got into the car and finally calmed herself down. That was when
she realized the car Colton was driving was a full black Rolls-Royce Phantom, and she felt
embarrassed by the fact that she charged into the passenger seat.
As Colton was starting the engine, he caught Nicole’s awkward look and beamed. “You’re the first
person to sit in my car’s passenger seat.”
“Uh…” Why’d he say that out of nowhere?! Nevertheless, thinking how the man drove her out of F&M
Apparel’s annual dinner just to look for her son, she eventually blurted, “Thanks for your help.”
His deep eyes darkened. Without making a response, he concentrated on driving. Fortunately, Colton
was somewhat familiar with Anderson Residence. Although he’d only been there once, he remembered
the way there, thanks to his superb memory.
As they arrived at Anderson Residence, Nicole turned to the man in a suit at the steering wheel. Due to
the fact that he traveled all over the city for her, his hair visibly grew unkempt. To be fair, the man, as
long as he kept his mouth shut and refrained from uttering any sort of infuriating words, was actually a
sight for sore eyes.
The sky was engulfed by darkness in the middle of the night, and if she didn’t have a ride, she would
have to walk her way home. Looking at him, she said, “Please wait for me, President Gardner. I’ll be
back shortly.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Colton nodded, willing to be a gentleman in her eyes. Regardless of the result, the
partnership between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel was considered secured. None could
blame him for his heartlessness as he was only fulfilling his role as an opportunistic businessman.
At Anderson Residence, where the lights were still on and flickering, Nicole decidedly barged into the
building. The sound of the door being pushed open was loud and clear, and it had William and Lydia,
who were resting in the living room, turning their heads to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole gazed at the two of them. Without wasting a breath, she questioned, “Is my son here?”
Lydia was taken aback for a moment before recalling Nicole’s previous words. Swiftly, she concealed
the nervousness in her eyes as she scowled at her. “Why’d your son be here, psycho?!”
As Nicole was in no mood to beat around the bush with the couple, she stared at them with her eyes so
resolute and repeated her question. She coldly interrogated, “Did you kidnap my son?!”
Since the Andersons had always wanted to establish a connection with the Manns, their intention back
when they asked Nicole to return to the family instantly became obvious, and in no way would she
allow them to use her son as a leverage against her.
“Have you gone insane, Nicole? Go be a psycho out there instead of charging into someone else’s
home! Who in the world would want to kidnap that abomination you gave birth to?” Lydia dauntingly
replied. In her wide-open eyes were a hint of condescension.
Forcing herself to cool down as her lips quivered, Nicole calmly added, “Just state your demand and
release my son.”
“You have a son?” William, who had been remaining silent on the couch, suddenly inquired.
Nicole saw his expression, and it seemed rather genuine, as if he was actually clueless that she had a
son. Is Hayden really not here?
