Chapter 92 Joanna Schmidt Is Back
By the time Colton walked out, Nicole was bickering with Hayden.
“Mom, I have already said that Joseph, the foolish bum, can’t possibly be my dad! I’m sure my dad is someone like Mr. Handsome.”
“Stop it. You’re already shameless at such a young age!”
“Hmph! If you don’t believe me, you can check out his DNA paternity test report,” Hayden grumbled indignantly with a pout.
The moment Colton walked out, he overheard the conversation between the mother and son, and the gloom on his face was slightly dismissed. Holding the paternity report, he waved it at Nicole and asked, “Miss Anderson, do you want to check this report?”
As she looked downward, she pressed her lips and shook her head with a faint smile. “It’s okay. Regardless of the content in it, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Assuming that she did not wish to comment further on the topic, he kept the report away and said, “I’ll send you guys back.”
“Thanks a lot for your help today, President Gardner.” Nicole expressed her genuine gratitude as she knew she must have caused Colton, a dignified president, a dilemma by asking him to do such a sneaky task.
Colton smiled nonchalantly and did not continue with the topic since Hayden was still around. “My pleasure.”
…
By the time they arrived home at night, Zachary was already home with a weary expression.
Seeing his exhausted countenance, Nicole bit her tongue and remained silent for a moment, but she eventually said, “Zachary, if you have any matters to settle, please go ahead. I’m still able to handle my affairs so far.”
Shaking his head, Zachary pressed his brows and hummed gently, “It’s all settled now.”
She nodded and did not probe further. Thereafter, she brought Hayden upstairs.
When she arrived at the office the next day, Nicole noticed the originally quiet Design Department was much livelier and even heard people whispering the moment she entered.
However, the murmurs ceased moments after she went in.
She was not surprised by this because she had been transferred from F&M Apparel after all, and the staff still deemed her as an outsider.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
