Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Almost Discovered

Although the guests were angry at Hayden, they still dared not say anything in front of Old Mr. Benedict for fear of making the old man irate.

After Nicole briefly chatted with Anna, she secretly left for the backyard. She was just recalling what Colton had told her and slowly approached the room, where she heard a woman gasping and screaming.

In the midst of the gasping and screaming, Nicole could also hear some men’s jeers, all of which were unpleasant. Nicole saw that there was a small window, so she turned a little sideways and peeked inside. She could see Queenie was being tortured by two tall bodyguards while kneeling on the ground—almost unconscious because of the drug.

Most of the Gardner Family’s bodyguards were either veterans or masters in bodybuilding, so their physical strength was first-class. Nevertheless, Nicole had no pity for Queenie. Queenie brought this upon herself, and she could blame no one but herself for her current predicament. Just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly appeared behind her, which made her startle. She immediately turned around and found that it was just Wendy.

At that moment, Nicole took a few steps back and pulled Wendy’s hand backward as Wendy tried to get a better look at what was happening in the room. Wendy felt that Nicole’s behavior was rather odd and asked, “Nicole, what are you doing here? There are only sundries here.”

Nicole kept pulling Wendy’s hand for fear that Wendy would see the scene inside the room before responding, “Nothing much, to be honest. I have been to the Gardener Residence many times but just realized that I never take a good look around. So since I’m here now, I might as well stroll around the Residence.”

Wendy believed in Nicole’s words as she nodded in agreement. “You’re right. The Residence is quite large, so why don’t I show you around?”
