Chapter 1086 I Did Not Do It
When Queenie was about to rebuke Gabriel's words, a deep voice sounded behind her. "He's right. One should
always take responsibility for their actions."
She stiffly turned around to look behind her in response to the familiar voice, which sent shivers down her spine.
Huh! How long have Colton and Nicole been standing behind me? They seem to have overheard the entire
conversation. With this realization, she pressed her lips together nervously, uncertain of what to say.
After observing her daughter in such a distressed state, Lydia gently tugged on Queenie's arms, and she gradually
calmed down.

Then, Queenie clasped her hands as she stared at Colton, forcing a smile, and said calmly, "Please let me go,
Colton. We dated for five years at one point. Please forgive me and accept my heartfelt apologies for what I've
done." After saying that, she turned to Nicole and fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face as
she sobbed, "I'm so sorry! I was a fool to do what I had done. Sis, please forgive me!"
"Yes, Nicole," Lydia hurriedly said. "We've lived under the same roof for years. Queenie understands what she has
done wrong. We apologize, so please let us go."
On the other hand, Nicole regarded the two women begging on the ground with icy eyes that lacked even a trace of
compassion in her bright eyes. Lived under the same roof... Are they referring to the years when I could only eat
leftovers? The ordeal of being kidnapped earlier left her physically trembling with exhaustion. So, she closed her
eyes and sighed, "Do with them as procedure dictates."

Her lack of mercy caused the usually gentle and meek Lydia to burst out cursing. "Are you looking down on us just
because you are a member of the esteemed Wrenn Family? The Andersons taking you in were the only thing that
kept you from freezing to death and starving to death! You ungrateful wretch! You are an absolute ingrate!" As soon
as she was done speaking, she saw Colton approach her. Then, before she could say another word, he stomped on
her knee. The impact of that stomp was so powerful that it sent her body tumbling to the ground, and she found
herself in a position where she was kneeling on it.
Afterward, he looked down at her with icy eyes. "You have no right to criticize my wife."
It was only then that Lydia realized she had misspoken in her fit of rage. She opened her mouth to defend herself
but was interrupted by his frigid statement. "If you wish to keep your tongue intact, shut your mouth. Do not say
another word or else..."

The mother and daughter promptly fell silent upon hearing that threat. Colton had always been a man who kept his
word. That was something Queenie had known for a fact after the years she had spent by his side.
As he led Nicole away from them, he turned to Gabriel. "I leave them in your hands. Do with them as you will."
It was a chance for Gabriel to choose for himself. Then, he stared at the women on the ground as emotions warred
in his eyes. It took a few long moments of staring before he eventually pulled out his phone and called Evelyn.
"What is it, Gabriel?" she asked nonchalantly.
Staring down at the two women, he softly spoke into the phone, "Colton and I have rescued Nicole. We even
captured a few people in the process. One of the women says that you're involved in this."
After hearing that, Evelyn's hand tightened around her phone as her breath hitched. She hurriedly spoke up to
defend herself. "That's impossible! Gabriel, don't believe what other people say. I've already given up on Collie. I do
not need to do that!"
