Chapter 906
Evelyn forced an awkward grin and responded, "Alright, I understand."
After she left, the crowd downstairs remained silent. Siobhan's idea was precisely what Colton wanted, and the only
reason it took him so long to bring up the matter was to catch the Wrenns off guard.
At that moment, Siobhan turned to Nicole and shamefully asked, "Nicole, I am sure you and Colton share some
feelings, and you only broke up with him in the past because of William. Now that you are my biological daughter,
you are no longer related to the Andersons. Besides, you already have a child with Colton."
Nicole remained wordless, thinking that she shouldn't have joined in on the drama. Earlier on, Hayden saw Colton
from afar and insisted on coming to see him, so she could only comply and follow after him, only to bump into such

an incident. She had heard of tough business, but never tough engagement.
"I…" Just as she was about to come up with an excuse to reject the idea, Hayden eagerly agreed to it.
"That's great! If Dad and Mom get married, we'll live happily together, and they'll be with me every day!" The boy's
words alleviated the tension in the crowd.
Anna adored her little grandson very much. After a moment of contemplation, she then said, "Well, we've already
announced the marriage between the Wrenns and the Gardners. The wedding venue is ready, and the guests have
already been invited, so it would be a shame to cancel it right now. Worse yet, we might even lose their trust."
As she spoke, she turned to Nicole and continued, "Besides, I am quite fond of Nicole. All of this only started
because of Dad. Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, I suppose it wouldn't be a problem."
Without agreeing to it right away, Siobhan looked at Nicole and asked for her opinion. "Nicole, what do you think?"
At once, everyone looked toward Nicole. The situation was incredibly pressuring, forcing her to say yes.

After a moment of silence, Nicole raised her head. "Other than that absurd night we shared, there is no attachment
between me and President Gardner. I'm sorry."
Upon Nicole's rejection, a layer of coldness engulfed Colton's pitch-black eyes.
Benjamin sensed the tension and went straight to the point. "In that case, the marriage shall be canceled. We will
disclose the truth to the public, or it would be harsh on my son if he were to be labeled as someone heartless."
As she spoke, she turned to Nicole and continued, "Besides, I am quite fond of Nicole. All of this only started
because of Dad. Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, I suppose it wouldn't be a problem."
Jackson furrowed his brows and waved his hand. "I reckon the matter could be negotiated." If such a matter were
to get out, it would be a fatal blow to both the Wrenns and the Goulds.

"Let me discuss it with Nicole." Colton, who had been standing silently at the side, spoke up. The muscular man
walked toward Nicole, and before she could say anything, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"Let's talk outside," Colton said in a low and domineering voice.
Before Nicole could react, the man had already dragged her outside. "What are you doing?" She strenuously shook
her arm, but the man's strength was too great for her to resist.
When they were finally outside, Colton let go of her. He stared at Nicole's face before slowly asking, "Do you not
want to be with me?"
Weirded out by the question, Nicole furrowed her brows. "President Gardner, I assume you're under some sort of
misconception—"
Before she could finish, Colton immediately interrupted her and said, "Misconception? What misconception are you
talking about? You didn't want to be with me solely because of William, but now that you're no longer his daughter,
what else is there to worry about?"
