Chapter 1039 Ready To Go

Colton gazed at Nicole's departing figure as his dark eyes carried a hint of peculiarity.

Without much deliberation, he pulled out his phone and dialed Beryl's number.

"Pack up immediately and bring some professionals with you. We're leaving the country tonight," Colton stated

firmly and quickly, his tone exuding unwavering authority.

Beryl realized something was amiss and hastily inquired, "Did something happen?"

"Well, Wendy has been kidnapped. The details are still unclear, and Julian is probably occupied. I'll lead the team

myself, and we'll head over together," Colton explained succinctly.

Beryl felt a thunderous jolt as if struck by lightning. He tightly grasped his hand. No wonder Colton sounds so grave.

It turns out that Wendy has been kidnapped.

Wendy, the beloved member of the Gardner Family, knew all of Colton's buddies. In her younger days, her words

were full of sweetness, and she affectionately referred to them as her "big brothers." They showered her with

endless affection and attention.

"Damn it, which reckless scoundrel did that? How dare they kidnap Wendy?" Beryl exclaimed, his anxiety evident.

"Alright, I understand. I'll gather the team immediately."

Having watched her grow up since childhood, Beryl started feeling flustered upon hearing that Wendy had been

kidnapped.

"Also, notify Dominic and ask him to prepare as well."

"Dominic? Is it really that serious this time? Is he also being mobilized?" Beryl expressed his astonishment. Dominic

oversaw the arms business, so if they were reaching out to him, it meant the situation was quite significant.

"It seems it's not a simple matter. If they were after money, they would have called me directly. Wendy has been

kidnapped for an entire night, and I haven't received any news. I suspect they're after a person," Colton mused.

Beryl's expression grew serious, and he nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll take care of it."

After concluding the conversation, he promptly hung up the phone.

Nicole hastily returned just as he concluded the call, her dress appearing slightly disheveled. Despite the rush, she

managed to keep her high heels on, and her fair face was flushed from the brisk run.

Having caught her breath, she gazed at Colton with a sense of urgency and inquired, "How's everything going?

Have you made any progress?"

"We haven't found anything yet. We're heading abroad to investigate," Colton replied.

"Okay, I'll go with you," Nicole asserted.

He didn't refuse and accompanied her back home to change clothes. They also dropped Hayden off at the Gardner

Residence, simply stating that the two of them were going on their honeymoon without mentioning Wendy's

kidnapping.

Anna had a gentle disposition, and if she found out about Wendy's abduction, she would undoubtedly be filled with

worry.

Without dwelling on it, she observed their anxious demeanor with a smile. "You two seem to be in quite a hurry. Just

after attending Old Mrs. Gould's birthday banquet, you're already setting off on your honeymoon."

To avoid arousing suspicion, Colton maintained a calm expression on his face. He gently wrapped his arm around

Nicole's slender waist and said with a smile, "Well, it's a rare chance now that Nicole has fully recovered. I thought

of taking her out to explore and help her relax."

Anna nodded in understanding, waving her hand dismissively. "Alright, off you go. Enjoy yourselves. You can leave

Hayden with me; I'll take care of him."

After reassuring Anna, Colton and Nicole departed. The Gardner Corporation had its own private plane, and a group

of people had already gathered near the aircraft. Beryl had brought his team along.

Beryl quickly approached and informed Colton after spotting him. "I've already called Dominic. He received the

message, but it might take some time on his end."

"Alright, there's no need for him to make a big move right now, so as not to tip off the kidnappers," Colton

responded, pondering the situation.
