Chapter 1038 Learning about Wendy’s Kidnapping

Tears continued to fall from Evelyn's face as she watched Colton's figure walking away.

She lowered her head and coughed a couple of times while holding her neck. The suffocation she experienced just

now made her feel like she was about to die.

After thinking about it, she felt a lingering fear.

She remembered that Colton had always been polite and gentle. She had never seen him like this before.

He had almost killed someone.

She sat paralyzed on the ground as tears streamed down her face. She was genuinely scared now and believed

what Gabriel had told her before. Colton wasn't as he appeared on the surface, which made him truly terrifying.

Colton returned to the dining area, lowered his head, and picked up some food that Nicole liked. When he turned

around, the hostility on his face had subsided and was replaced by a gentle expression.

Nicole looked up at him. She had seen Colton leave with Evelyn earlier, but he returned alone after a short while.

She was casually eating the food in front of her. Then, she asked as if she suddenly remembered something, "What

happened between you and Evelyn just now?"

Colton heard Nicole's question. He chuckled lightly and reached out to hold her slender waist while whispering, "We

talked about a few things."

She relaxed her eyebrows and didn't continue the topic.

He looked at her appearance and honestly explained, "She has been bothering me. I felt uncomfortable, so I made

it clear to her this time and asked her not to come looking for me anymore."

Her face remained expressionless as she ate the food. Then, she calmly said, "I didn't ask anything."

He smiled happily. "I wanted to explain because I don't want you to have any misunderstandings."

Just as the two of them were being affectionate, Colton's phone suddenly rang. He glanced down and saw that it

was his sister's number.

Wendy had been out for nearly half a month, and she usually only called Anna. Whenever Wendy contacted him, it

was usually for money.

Although he knew his sister's intentions, he still answered the call.

"Hello."

"Hello. May I speak to Wendy's brother?" A stranger's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Colton furrowed his brows slightly and a hint of strangeness flickered in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He

nodded and replied, "Yes, it's me."

The voice on the other end seemed relieved and quickly said, "Mr. Gardner, Wendy was kidnapped last night. We've

already reported it to the police, but there's no news from them. Her phone is protected with a password, and we

just reset it before calling you."

"Kidnapped?" Colton's voice instantly turned grave, and the hand holding the phone tightened.

"Yes. The police have investigated, and some eyewitnesses said she was kidnapped by two men, but they still have

no leads on who the kidnappers were…" the person on the other end of the phone explained desperately.

They all knew Wendy's identity. She was the only daughter of the powerful Gardner Family.

"I understand." Colton hung up the phone. His face was dark and terrifying.

The people who kidnapped a member of the Gardner Family were simply courting death.

Nicole sat in her seat and also heard Colton mention the word "kidnapped." She looked up and asked, "What's

wrong? Who was kidnapped?"

"It's Wendy. She was kidnapped while she was overseas. Her friend called me," he replied.

She paused for a moment while quickly putting down what she was holding, and she was surprised as her delicate

eyebrows furrowed tightly. "How could this happen?"

She looked at his expression. Although he didn't show any signs of urgency, she could still sense the suppressed

panic in his eyes.

"I'll inform Old Mrs. Gould. You investigate, and tonight we'll head abroad to take a look," she said firmly. Without

waiting for Colton's response, she lifted the hem of her dress and hurried to Rita's side.
