Chapter 843

Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice. "Nicole, what happened?"

She was pulled back to reality and turned around to smile at Zachary. She shook her head. "Nothing. I was just

thinking."

He didn't press on further but changed the topic. "I saw Colton going out, so he must be fine now. Why don't we

leave too?"

She nodded without telling Zachary about the heart-stopping incident in the room earlier.

After Colton went downstairs, he ran into Anna and Benedict. The old man looked stern and called out to his

grandson, "Colton."

Colton understood what his grandpa was about to say, and he looked at his mother.

Anna shook her head with a defeated expression on her face.

Colton pursed his lips before saying flatly, "Grandpa."

Benedict scowled, his tone heavy and angry. "What on earth happened? Did you and Evelyn…"

Colton denied, "Nothing happened between us."

His swift reply angered Benedict even more, and the latter bellowed, "Colton, you are a man! How could you run

away from taking responsibility?"

He frowned slightly and answered with a hint of annoyance, "I did not."

The furious Benedict yelled, "You were found in bed, naked, with her! How dare you claim that nothing has

happened? There were so many witnesses. What will you do about Evelyn's reputation?"

Colton appeared irritated by the interrogation and explained coldly, "I asked her to leave, but she refused to."

Although Evelyn never admitted that she had drugged him, it wasn't hard to infer based on her behavior.

Still, Evelyn shared the plate of food with him and she turned out fine. Moreover, they took their drinks separately.

The source of the drugged food remained a mystery, and he needed to look further into the matter.

"Nonsense!" Benedict was screaming at this point, which yanked Colton back to reality.

The old man's face was flushed. He glared at his grandson with a pair of weathered and sharp eyes, berating,

"Evelyn is a fine young lady from the Wrenns. I had wanted to matchmake for the two of you, but I gave up after

seeing you were uninterested. But now, we have this incident between you and her. You need to take

responsibility!"

The repeated mentions of responsibility irked Colton. He replied bluntly, "I was drugged and we need to look into

this matter first. Only then could we make our next move."

Alas, Benedict refused to listen. He asked, "How do you plan to settle the matter with Evelyn?"

"Nothing happened between us. After I wrap up my investigation of the drugging, I will take care of this

misunderstanding," Colton declared icily.

Benedict slammed a hand on the table, seething. "Everyone saw the two of you naked in bed! How could you speak

so lightly about it? Do you understand the importance of reputation for girls?"

Colton remained composed in the face of his grandpa's interrogation. His eyes gleaming, he dismissed the concern,

saying, "I did tell her to leave. She was the one who wanted to stay, so it's not my fault. More importantly, nothing

happened between us!" He even stressed the last point to make it clear that he did not sleep with Evelyn.

Benedict closed his eyes in exhaustion, unable to deal with Colton's stubbornness. In fact, he turned to Anna instead

and barked, "He's your son. You need to discipline him."
