Chapter 1035 I Will Help You

Colton remained silent, his face devoid of any visible reaction.

Siobhan continued, "I didn't have any intention to show favoritism. It's just that Evelyn has been my child for over

twenty years. I can't simply watch her go to prison if she's truly responsible for this."

His demeanor shifted subtly as he looked at her and said, "Madam Gould, I don't have much to say about your

decision, but aren't you concerned that allowing this indulgence will further entangle Evelyn in trouble?"

A tinge of sadness crossed Siobhan's face. She was well aware of the situation. Nevertheless, she would vigilantly

watch over Evelyn going forward, ensuring she steered clear of the wrong path.

"Evelyn's current state reflects my failure as her mentor. I will take the necessary steps to rectify her behavior.

However, if she continues to insist on such unacceptable actions, I will no longer tolerate it."

Colton remained composed without uttering another word.

Siobhan moved past that subject and continued, "The primary reason I wanted to meet with you today is that I'm

concerned about Nicole. This situation must deeply sadden her. She doesn't have many individuals she can rely on

now, so I hope you will take good care of her."

Colton raised his eyelids and, observing the serious expression on Siobhan's face, nodded in affirmation.

"All right, you may return now." Siobhan didn't say much else. Despite Colton's somewhat aloof demeanor, once he

held someone in high regard, he would never disappoint them.

As he made his way back, the room stood empty, save for Nicole, who sat with her head lowered and lost in

contemplation. She paid no attention to the vibrations of her phone beside her.

She suddenly came to her senses as she looked up at Colton, blinked her eyes, and uttered, "I guess I was lost in

thought for a moment."

Colton's face lit up with a smile as he observed her somewhat absent-minded look. He chuckled gently and asked,

"What's on your mind? Lost in thought?"

Nicole cast her eyes downward, her thoughts consumed by Evelyn's earlier words. She uttered disappointedly, "Just

now, Evelyn told me that she was the one who orchestrated it all."

Colton took notice of her expression, comprehending the reason behind her previous despondency. He extended his

hand and tenderly brushed her cheek. Then, he whispered, "If you desire revenge, you can confide in me. Even if it

means opposing the Wrenns and the Goulds, I'm prepared to do whatever is necessary."

She shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't shake the feeling that Evelyn has an ulterior motive.

The way she spoke to me was deliberate as if she had a hidden purpose. I don't understand what she hopes to

achieve by provoking me."

At Nicole's words, Colton's expression abruptly hardened. He reached out and firmly held her hand as he said in a

low voice, "Don't fret. I will undoubtedly assist you."

Nicole hesitated to speak, yet she remained silent and ultimately decided not to utter a single word.

The grand banquet hosted by Rita began, and the entire Gould Residence was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Despite her advanced age, she was a legendary figure in the business world during her youth. Most attendees who

came to celebrate and pay their respects were from the older generation.

Rita wore a beaming smile as she soaked in the congratulatory remarks from everyone. She acknowledged each

greeting amidst the chorus of well-wishes.

Colton escorted Nicole to the front and guided her to a corner. He then instructed her to sit while he fetched some

food for her. Nicole didn't question it and nodded in agreement. As she grew bored, she entertained herself by

playing with her phone.

Despite her previous role as the Chief Designer at F&M Apparel, most of her social interactions took place overseas,

leaving her with few acquaintances in the country.

However, Colton stood out from the rest. As the president of Gardner Corporation, one of the nation's leading

financial conglomerates, people couldn't help but shower him with adoration and constantly seek his approval, akin

to cats pouncing on a mouse.

He exuded an unwelcoming aura, which effectively kept many people at bay.
