Chapter 724

Colton was slightly unhappy as he began with a frown, "Does it mean you'll cut ties with me if you find nothing in the

end?"

Nicole nodded calmly and replied, "I have to keep my promise."

Her determination left him speechless. Silly woman! Can't she choose something else to bet on?!

He let out a defeated sigh. It seems like I need to take over the matter. He reached out a hand all of a sudden and

grabbed her waist. Leaning his face into her neck, he murmured in a slow tone, "I'll help you with the investigation."

His words reminded Nicole that their recent trip abroad was to initiate cooperation with F&R Enterprise. However,

she had to deal with the business with the Clancy Family, and he was always there for her the whole time. Did he

manage to strike a deal with the F&R Enterprise?

"Did you reach out to F&R Enterprise?" Nicole asked in a confused tone

Meanwhile, Colton lowered his gaze to study the confused look on her face. It seems like there's a bit of conscience

left in her and she knows when to care about me. Nodding, he continued with pride, "But of course. I've made a

deal with Douglas. The Gardner Corporation will invest in his AI technology. In return, he'll share the core

technology with us."

Nicole couldn't believe it when she heard those words. After all, it was an investment of around several hundred

billion. However, Colton didn't even hesitate when he agreed with it.

"That's it?" She couldn't help but ask for affirmation from him.

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Colton stated with confidence, "I've been observing Douglas for a long time. He

never procrastinates and only does the tasks he's confident of. Since F&R Enterprise possesses the latest network

technology, I believe that they're a more capable partner in the field of artificial intelligence."

He raised his gaze and it landed on Nicole's face as he continued, "Even if the investment ended up a failure, it's

only a loss of several hundred billion. If it's a success, the net worth of the Gardner Corporation will double."

A loss of several hundred billion only? Nicole thought bitterly. Only a rich guy could say such things.

She struggled a little and got out of his embrace before she added, "You should deal with the business with F&R

Enterprise at the moment. I'll handle my mother's business on my own."

Colton, however, wasn't pleased to see her acting all distant with him. Thus, he grabbed her arm and confronted

her, "Are you trying to cut ties with me right now?"

She blinked for a moment and commented in innocence, "President Gardner, we're strangers, aren't we? There's

no need to cut ties in the first place."

He became less happy after hearing her words. He considered the best for her in every aspect, but the heartless

Nicole never thought about him, not even once.

Pinching her face, he sneered, "So, you don't remember the relationship between us. Do you need me to remind

you?"

As he finished his words, he slid his hand down her face without her permission.

The blood drained from Nicole's face within a split second. We're at the Gardner Residence, and we're even outside

the house!

We're not doing this in broad daylight! Nicole immediately grabbed his hand, which was venturing downward, and

feigned a smile. "What a surprise, President Gardner. Never would I think that you have such a kink. However, I'm

afraid that I have to reject it since I don't share your hobby."

Nicole was holding back the urge to swear. I can't believe the jerk is doing this to me in public! At that moment, she

wanted nothing more than to break his wrist.

Colton was able to read the situation and stopped in time. He was merely trying to tease her, and he was never an

animal who would do something like that regardless of the occasion.

Letting her go, he comforted her, "What's yours is mine. Since there's no emergency task in the company, we

should settle your mother's matter at the moment."

Finally, he says something that makes sense.

She let his words slip. Once he released her, she left without turning her head.

He turned around and returned to the residence instead of following after her.

As expected, Olivia shot accusations at him as soon as he stepped into the house. "Don't you understand the

situation? Why would you still care about that woman? I wonder how she managed to get you under her spell!"
