Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 874

As Evelyn explained herself in a soft voice, Colton's eyes narrowed slightly before he ordered coldly, "There are so

many designers in this world that you can pick whomever you prefer. You don't have to be so set on Nicole."

Frustration flashed in her eyes. She was about to marry Colton, yet he was speaking up for Nicole?

She bit her lip lightly and clenched her fists. "But I think Miss Lisa's design is beautiful too. I fell in love with it right

away. But I'm not about to let her design it for free. I will pay her."

How wouldn't he know what she was thinking? He placed his hand on the table and murmured carelessly. "If you

are determined to get her as a designer, then I think this engagement can be canceled."

Her smile froze on her face. She did not expect that he would rather cancel the engagement just because of such a

trivial issue. His mother had already discussed things with her mother and the event was set to be held at the Town

Central Hotel. The Gardners had already booked the venue and while they hadn't sent the invitations to her family,

the news had already spread far and wide. How could he not care about his family's honor just because of Nicole?

Evelyn's expression turned stony. She had assumed that marrying Colton would get rid of all her problems, yet that

woman was still the only person important to him. Rage rose within her, but she did not dare to show it in front of

him.

After some time, she eventually forced a smile and replied obediently, "You're right, Collie. There are so many good

designers in this world, and I don't need to make her my only choice."

She looked up at him with a hint of forced warmth. "My mother has already contacted a lot of designers. Would you

like to come along and help me choose?"

Colton's expression was frigid. Seeing that she would no longer trouble Nicole, he simply responded, "I'm busy at

the office. You'll have to sort it out yourself."

Exasperation showed on Evelyn's face after she saw how unbothered he looked. Wrinkling her nose, she pleaded,

"Collie, we will be engaged in a little more than a week. Can't you take some time off to accompany me?"

His gaze became icy and his lips curled up as if he was recalling something. He murmured, "There is finally some

information about when I was drugged in the Gould Residence. I need to get to the bottom of it before our

engagement."

Evelyn's heart stuttered at his sudden mention of the event. Her lips quivered while her voice became slightly dry.

"I-it's over, Collie. Why don't you just let this go? The most important thing right now is our engagement. Besides,

you didn't have anything to lose, right?"

Colton looked up at her, his dark eyes glowing with something she couldn't understand. After a moment, he finally

explained slowly, "You were the one who was violated to the point you became suicidal. This isn't a trivial issue since

you will be engaged to me soon. How can I just let it remain a mystery? It's okay; I will investigate thoroughly and

unearth the mastermind. I will never stop until I find her."

His icy tone made her heart shiver. She did not dare to look up at him in case he noticed anything suspicious.

Squeezing her palms, she finally said, "Collie, the most important thing right now is our engagement. All of that can

wait until the ceremony is over, don't you agree?"
