Chapter 771
Faced with Evelyn's warning, Nicole still looked calm as usual. However, Evelyn was right. Even though Nicole had
cut ties with William, his blood was truly running in her veins. Since William committed the crime, when she faced
Colton or the other members of the Gardner Family, Nicole couldn't quite escape from the guilt she felt.
However, Evelyn had no right to warn her about this. Nicole put a faint smile on her lips as she looked at Evelyn
calmly.
"Miss Wrenn, you have no right to meddle in matters regarding me and Colton."
Evelyn's expression contorted a little, but the many years of living as a rich young daughter allowed her to suppress
it. They were still out on the streets, so she couldn't burst out like some crazed person. She could only fake

calmness as best as she could.
"Nicole! If you insist on being together with Colton, you're offending not just the Gardners; you're also offending the
Wrenns. As long as I'm here, I absolutely won't allow you to be with Colton!"
Faced with Evelyn's warning, Nicole didn't seem frightened at all. She curved her lips into a light smile as she
chuckled. "Miss Wrenn, Colton and I are not little children anymore. We don't need your input."
It was the first time Evelyn felt so furious. Before this, as the young lady of the Wrenn Family, everyone had
accommodated her. No one had turned against her will before. At that moment, she was being retorted, and she
was even forced to the edge.
Nicole looked at the woman in front of her, then grinned a little evilly as she continued, "Right, you have seen how
Colton acted just now, haven't you, Miss Wrenn? He loves me, and he loves me dearly."
Evelyn gritted her teeth as her hands slowly balled into fists on both sides of her body. Her pitch-black eyes were

filled with anger as she looked at Nicole. "Colton was only temporarily interested in you. When he gets tired of you,
he won't have any feelings for you anymore!"
Nicole chuckled as a satisfied smile bloomed on her calm face. With a hoarse voice, she said, "Then I shall happily
spend my time with him while he's still interested. At least I've been with him in this way before. As for you, you've
never even tasted it."
"You shameless wretch!" Evelyn reached out to hit Nicole, but the latter was agile enough. While Evelyn was raising
her hand, Nicole grabbed it in time.
Disdain filled the depths of Nicole's eyes as she flung Evelyn's hand away. She narrowed her eyes as she warned,
"Don't try to seek attention with me. I'm not a weakling to be bullied. Evelyn, if I hadn't let you off, you'd still be in
jail right now!"

Nicole's words reminded Evelyn of that instance when she meddled with the medicine. Therefore, she couldn't find
any words to say in retortion. She was extremely pissed, but she still suppressed it as she looked up at Nicole. After
sending the latter a vicious glare, she walked away in arrogance.
Nicole watched as Evelyn left, and she slowly averted her gaze after a while. After Nicole left, a slender figure
stepped into the dim space. Colton had heard every word of the argument between the two. He thoughtfully
rubbed his chin, his deep gaze falling onto Nicole, who was already a distance away.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared from his sight that Colton finally put on a faint smile. After Nicole got out of
the restaurant, she headed home right away.
At the villa, after Nicole opened the door, she saw Zachary and Hayden playing happily on the couch. Nicole leaned
in closer to them, and when Hayden saw Nicole, he said sweetly, "Mom."
Nicole responded in a low voice. When she heard her son calling her, all the fatigue in her body instantly dissipated.
