"Undercity is all money talks. Maybe someone paid them to do so," said Beryl. However, he soon frowned and looked confused. "They are only active abroad and never here, though. Unless someone from abroad came here, so they had no choice but to follow suit."
"Each country has its forces. For them to have crossed the line means that they're dead set on eliminating Hayden. I think the mastermind behind this has something to do with Colton and me." She analyzed it calmly. When Norman was in trouble, she could sense that someone in Undercity was picking on her. Seeing how they wanted to hurt Hayden and go against her, they were coming for Colton.
As Nicole thought about it, her eyes darkened. She squinted her eyes and stared at Colton intently. How many love affairs does he have?! Moreover, they are all strong women!
"You are right, Mrs. Gardner." Beryl chuckled. After the last time, he knew she was not as simple as she looked. Hence, he investigated her after returning and discovered that she had many identities. Moreover, she had connections with Uzor's mercenaries. However, he only found out she had been there for six months three years ago and nothing more.
Nicole didn't mind his words. She lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.
Since the people from Undercity dare to hurt Hayden, I will not sit here and do nothing. They might think I'm a pushover.
Thinking about it, she raised her head. "It's getting late. I'm going back to my room. Please carry on without me," she said with a cold expression. Then, she turned around and went straight to her room.
When Beryl saw her expression, he patted Colton's shoulder pitifully and sighed. "She is a hard one, dude."
Colton slapped his head ruthlessly and said in a low voice, "Watch your words."
Beryl scratched his head and said nothing more. Before he left, he reminded Colton, "Watch out, Colton. Nicole has something to do with Uzor's mercenaries."
"I have known about it for a long time. However, I'm certain that she will not hurt me," Colton drawled with a calm expression.
Seeing how confident he was, Beryl didn't have the heart to expose him. "Those mercenaries can do anything as long as they are paid. It's better if you watch your back," he explained once more.
Hearing his words, Colton raised an eyebrow and shooed him. "Stop talking and leave now." In truth, he knew about this as well. If Nicole wanted to hurt him, she would have done it when they had done the deed that night. However, it seemed that Nicole still had feelings for him, even though her mouth said otherwise.
As Colton thought about it, he felt happy.
After Beryl left, Colton slowly walked up the stairs. Nicole's room was just beside his. However, the walls were soundproofed when he built this house, so even though their rooms were close, he couldn't hear anything from her side. This was something Colton regretted.
Soon, he stood before Nicole's door and knocked gently. The room was not locked, so he entered.
Nicole wasn't asleep yet. She was sitting by the bedside, seemingly as though she had known he would come.
