Chapter 738

Although Colton and Nicole received the answers to all their questions from Queenie, they still didn't visit William.

Instead, they left him out in the cold for a week.

Meanwhile, they spent their efforts investigating Queenie. After all, even if they were just making speculations

about such a hidden matter, her ability to blurt out that William and Madeline had switched seats was enough to

show that she knew about this. What was more, the information might actually have come from her.

Hence, the two dug a little deeper and discovered that Queenie was actually staying at Bryan's place.

Colton's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the newly obtained information. His facial expression was

far from happy. In fact, he was looking severely gloomy. He only turned his head to look at Nicole after a long while

and said, "It looks like Bryan was also involved in the incident that took place back then."

Nicole vaguely knew about the feud between the Gardners and the Kohlbergs. The Kohlbergs had always wanted to

replace the Gardners and only got to turn the table all of a sudden a few years ago and prosper until the present

day. A few years ago… At that time… A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes as she seemed to suddenly recall

something, and she abruptly looked up at Colton.

"Back then, the Kohlbergs could turn the table precisely because of my Grandma's death and when the Gardners

were still in turmoil." Colton's voice was a little grave. Finally, he lowered his head and intoned solemnly, "After my

Grandma died, my Grandpa fell ill and didn't have the energy to care about anything else. My Dad, too, was

devastated by her passing. Just like that, the Gardners, that was ever so powerful, lost the mainstay of the family

for a period of time. Plus, there were quite a number of relatives who were cooking up some sinister plots. As a

result, the situation in the Gardners was very chaotic at that time. The Kohlbergs noticed, took advantage of our

weakness, and took over several of the Gardners' businesses."

Now that she heard his side of the story, everything instantly became clear to her.

Prior to today, she had always thought that the Kohlbergs were just lucky and coincidentally rose in power while the

Gardners had encountered such a tragic event. At that time, Colton was still in school and wasn't involved in family

affairs at all.

Later, the Kohlbergs occupied most of the market and forcibly suppressed the Gardners.

By the time the Gardners finished handling everything and processing their grief, the market had already been

divided into two. It wasn't until Colton gradually took over the Gardner Corporation that the Gardners regained their

prestige and swiftly returned to dominate the market.

"So the Gardners couldn't find any information back then wasn't because William could keep this matter hidden, but

it was mainly because Bryan cleaned up his mess?" Nicole voiced her doubts.

Colton nodded as he confirmed her guess. No wonder it was fruitless no matter how the Gardners investigated this

matter back then. Bryan was the real mastermind all along. Then, Bryan did this because he wanted the Gardners

to be immersed in pain so that he could take advantage of this opportunity! "Yes. Bryan should be the one who

disclosed that photo."

Nicole frowned as she contemplated this matter. Her eyes betrayed her emotional turmoil as she hesitantly said,

"So Queenie discovered the surveillance footage through Bryan and wanted to use it to make Old Mr. Benedict

despise me because she doesn't want us to be together?"

Colton nodded again. Never once did it cross his mind that the truth behind Ella's death was finally brought to light

after so many years. At this moment, he didn't even have the words to describe how he felt. He also definitely

didn't know what to say.

She slowly stretched her hand to comfort him when she sensed his sadness. However, she paused in mid-air, but in

the end, she still caressed and patted his back as a sign of comfort.

After they roughly unraveled the tangled mess, the follow-up investigation became much more straightforward.

They asked Hayden to hack into all the computers belonging to the Kohlbergs. As expected, they managed to

retrieve the surveillance footage from that year.

As Nicole watched the black-and-white surveillance footage, she slowly clenched her fists that were hanging on the

side of her body. In the surveillance footage, the car drove as fast as a shot arrow, whereas Ella was walking on the

sidewalk.

After the vehicle hit Ella, a man and a woman got out of the car after a long period of time. Even though the image

in the surveillance footage was a little blurry, Nicole could still recognize that it was Madeline and William.

On the other hand, William was seen getting off from the driver's side.

Also, through the surveillance footage, they could see that both of them were highly panic-stricken. During that

period, Madeline took out her mobile phone and wanted to make a call but was prevented from doing so by William.

Nicole didn't know what he had said to Madeline, but the latter gave up making a call after that. Instead, she sat in

the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove away.
