There was a well-known businessman from Restrad who happened to be settled in Monterey. If they
could secure his cooperation, while it might not be on par with working with Kendrick, it could still
contribute to the better development of their medical base abroad.
However, this man was notorious for his lustful behavior. A few days ago, upon hearing that Nicole was
seeking collaborations, he sent someone to approach her, offering a night in exchange for a
partnership.
Of course, she decisively declined the offer, as she still had the option of working with Kendrick. Now,
she might have to reconsider reaching out to that businessman.
After Kendrick returned to his villa, he sat in his study, his gaze fixed on the computer screen displaying
a document. At this moment, a faint smile played at the corners of his lips. All my efforts suddenly feel
worthwhile after seeing Nicole today.
"Mr. Hofstead, I heard that Miss Anderson is considering contacting Mr. Stephens." His secretary
respectfully approached Kendrick and informed him. Her tone was composed but her eyes seemed
absent, like she was lost in thought.
"Is that so?" he responded, pouring himself a glass of water and downing it in one go.
Hearing this, his secretary quickly snapped back to attention, listening carefully to his next instructions.
However, her heart harbored some displeasure toward Nicole. Why is Mr. Hofstead placing so much
importance on a woman he has only met for the first time today? I've seen Nicole's photo on his desk
before. That's probably her photo from back then.
"Tell Mr. Stephens to behave and, at the same time, do not agree to collaborate." Kendrick's gaze
shifted to his secretary, and even his tone became more serious.
"Understood." His secretary was momentarily taken aback. Afraid that he might notice any unusual
behavior, she quickly lowered her head and complied.
When she left the study, she made sure to close the door behind her.
Alone in the study, Kendrick sat there, gazing at the closed door. He leaned back in his chair, a slight
headache developing at his temples, the cause of which he couldn't quite place.
I need to slowly win back Nicole's heart this time. As for Colton, I should accelerate my progress and
bring down the Gardner Family. Their involvement isn't as simple as just letting their son compete with
me for Nicole.
Back in Restrad, it seemed that Colton was indeed acting as Ryan had predicted. Since that day, he
hadn't returned to work.
According to inside sources, even the board of directors had strong objections toward Colton. They had
initially wanted to contact Benjamin but Benjamin ignored them, leaving the board quite displeased.
They believed that the Gardner father and son had earned enough money and didn't take them
seriously.
Meanwhile, Colton remained holed up in the Gardner Residence, even refraining from visiting Evelyn.
He didn't know how to face her now, for he feared that he might unintentionally reveal his true feelings
and undo all his efforts so far.
Holding a teacup, Benjamin slowly descended the stairs and, upon seeing Colton leaning against the
couch, shook his head with a hint of resignation and spoke. "It's not good for you to stay at home all
day, Colton. You had someone buy the tickets, didn't you? Why did you cancel them?" He couldn't bear
to see his son in such a state. Although he had heard a bit about what had happened, he hadn't
expected their relationship to deteriorate to this extent. Nicole is such a good girl.
"I know what I'm doing, Dad. You don't have to worry." Lost in thought, Colton heard Benjamin's voice
and turned his head, giving his father a reassuring glance.
He understood what his father was worried about—that he might be unable to move on from Nicole—
but he was not the type to be easily defeated.
"Alright, as long as you're aware." Benjamin nodded and let out a sigh, heading upstairs. I'm getting
old. I have no idea about the thoughts of these young people. I'll just let them handle everything on
their own.
With the silence, Colton guessed that his father had gone upstairs.
He had built a shield to soften the blow, but at this moment, it completely collapsed.
