Unfortunately, just as they reached the gates of the Gardner Residence, they bumped into Olivia.
Olivia’s demeanor changed as soon as she saw Nicole and her son and thereafter used her body to block the door.

“Why did you bring this b*stard to the Gardner Residence?”
When Nicole heard what Olivia called her son in front of his face, her face darkened. “Olivia, you’re from such a well-known family. Is your upbringing this bad that the first
thing that comes out of your mouth is calling a child a b*stard?”
Nicole’s calmness was mixed with a hint of anger; she had never been a pushover that could be bullied.
However, Olivia snorted coldly and sneered. “What is he if not a b*stard? Back then, you just had a one-night stand with Colton and fell pregnant with his child. You can’t just
claim to be a Gardner because of this!”
This sparked a fire in Nicole’s heart, but seeing that Hayden was there, she held herself back from lashing out.
Just as she was about to bring the child away, he stood his ground and did not move.
Then, he raised his head and stared at Olivia fearlessly. Then, with a tight grip on Nicole’s hand, he spoke loudly, “Mommy, is this the kind of nosy aunties that the TV always
talks about? Is she the one with the loud voice and is always impolite, looking like she could swallow people up?”

Although the child sounded somewhat innocent, his words were laced with poison.
Olivia’s face darkened when she heard this. “This b*stard really lives up to his name! He is so rude!”
Nicole couldn’t hold herself back any longer when she heard how Olivia had slandered her son and retorted, “It seems like you weren’t brought up very well either, Olivia,
since you are arguing with a child.”
This seemed to tick Olivia off as she shut her eyes; she was done bickering with Nicole as she yelled, “Where’s everyone? Help! An outsider is bullying me. How can you all just
stand and watch? Kick her out!”
When the Gardners Residence’s bodyguard heard Olivia’s voice, they all immediately rushed over. Although she was already married, her words were still dignified as the first
daughter of the Gardner Family.
Olivia saw the bodyguards running over, after which the smile on her face grew. Then, she pointed at Nicole and her son as she shrieked, “Throw these two out of there! The
next time you see them, you can beat them up!”
Although the bodyguards heard her orders, they did not dare to react. After all, Nicole was personally invited by Anna. She had also treated Nicole very kindly back when she
was over at the Gardner Residence.

Seeing that the bodyguards refused to do anything, Olivia was furious. She turned her head and glared at them angrily. “What’s wrong? Are my words weightless now? I’m
telling you, although I am married, I am still the first daughter of the Gardner Family!”
In the face of her arrogance, the bodyguards had no choice but to listen. They gave Nicole an apologetic look as they stepped forward with the intention to kick her out.
She knew that they had no choice, so she wanted to take the initiative to bring her son away herself.
However, everyone heard a cold male voice before she could react, “What is going on?”
When the bodyguards saw that it was Colton, they breathed out a sigh of relief and one of them quickly said, “Mr. Gardner, Ms. Gardner told us to kick them out.”
Colton shot them a cold glance. Then, he exuded a hostile aura with his hands in his pockets. “Ms. Nicole and her son were invited here by my mother. Is that how you treat
your guests? Is this what the Gardners had taught you? Do you not even have the most basic form of respect?”
His voice was cold as he spoke. Although he did not direct his words at Olivia, it was said as an indirect insult to her.
She was stunned by his words that she did not know what to say. After all, if she were to speak, it was tantamount to admitting that he was lecturing her.
The bodyguards naturally understood the meaning of his words and stood aside silently, allowing themselves to be reprimanded.
