Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 265

Chapter 265 You’d Better Pray It’s Fake

Nicole didn’t get angry listening to Olivia’s evaluation of her. Instead, she let out a hearty laugh.

Not one to take insults lying down, Nicole swiftly rebutted. “I became the Chief Designer at F&M Apparel based on my ability, Olivia. Don’t assume that everyone wants a piece of the Gardners. I honestly don’t give a sh*t.”

With her anger still clouding her judgement, Olivia didn’t believe Nicole at all. “Don’t play innocent with me. I have seen women like you before.”

Nicole narrowed her eyes and with a disdainful look on her face, she lowered her eyes to look at Anna. Her voice was a lot kinder when she said, “I don’t think today is a good day to have a proper discussion. Please have a talk within the family if there is anything. I will drop by again some day.”

It was pointless for Nicole to be here now anyway. The longer she stayed, the more she would argue with Olivia. She was too tired for that.

She swiftly turned around and walked out after saying that.

After she came out of Gardner Residence and was just about to leave, a deranged person jumped out of nowhere and swung their hand at her face. Luckily, Nicole’s fast reflexes brought her two steps back just in time. The palm didn’t land on her face, but the person’s nail had managed to scratch a painful bright red line on her cheek.

“You b*tch!” As thought she had gone crazy, Queenie glared at Nicole with eyes filled with rage. She had guessed that Hayden was the ‘grandson’ Anna mentioned on stage earlier.

After all, she had been keeping an eye out on Colton’s whereabouts for the last five years. It seemed that Nicole was the only woman he had had close contact with five years ago.

Queenie couldn’t believe that she had given her body to a man to attend the banquet only to hear news like this.

“What has got you so worked up?” Nicole asked her with a frown.

“Is your son the child Mrs. Gardner talked about? Can you get any more shameless than this, Nicole? You forged a fake paternity test result to deceive Mrs. Gardner with, and even disrupted the Gardner bloodline. You sl*t!”

Queenie’s eyes had turned red as she wanted to teach Nicole a lesson.

However, Nicole wasn’t one to be trifled with. Looking at the lunatic in front of her, she unhesitantly gave her a slap across her face.

Queenie, who wasn’t as agile as Nicole, took the tight slap right in the middle of her cheek.

The slap had completely made her lose control, and just as she was about to step forward to fight Nicole, the older of the two suddenly said something that made her stop in her tracks.

“Queenie, was Colton the man I spent the night with five years ago?”

Queenie’s head went blank at that moment and she came to a stop.

She didn’t know how Nicole found out, but she was never going to admit it!

“What are you getting delusional for, Nicole? The one you spent the night with was Joseph. Don’t flatter yourself.”

Hearing that, Nicole looked at Queenie thoughtfully. Truth was, she was accusing the latter of something she herself wasn’t sure of. She had thought that she could fish some information out of Queenie, but Queenie turned out to be more defensive than she thought.

“It was around the same time five years ago,” Nicole said calmly. “You somehow became Colton’s fiancée instead of Joseph’s.”

Her cold eyes then fell on Queenie’s face as she tried to read her.

However, Queenie suddenly said with a poise that Nicole had never seen from her, “That is because I saved Colton five years ago!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Is that so? Nicole looked downward when she heard that.

This was all too messy for her to comprehend. She had only done the deed with the man five years ago, which meant that Hayden was definitely the man’s child.

If Hayden was Colton’s son, that would also mean that Colton was the one she slept with five years ago!

Nicole couldn’t just let this pass without finding out the truth. As she knew that Richard was the one who did the test, she would have to go to Julia and ask her.

Seeing Nicole leaving, Queenie quickly called out to her. “Nicole Anderson, you b*tch! Where do you think you are going?!”

Nicole turned around and threw Queenie a cold glance then. “You had better pray that the paternity test result is a fake one. You know what is going to happen otherwise.”
