Chapter 1334 Hindsight

Evelyn had been waiting for Colton to return. She had prepared all sorts of excuses, such as Ryan had threatened

her. If she didn't do as he said, he would harm both her and Colton's child.

For this reason, she was very frightened. She had no choice but to help Ryan commit acts that harmed Nicole.

This was the only way to prevent Colton from becoming violent toward her.

"Mrs. Gardner, are you still waiting for Mr. Gardner today?" A maid, who had noticed Evelyn standing at the door

waiting for Colton pitifully every day, asked curiously. The maid had learned about the situation just today.

A few days ago, they noticed the bruises on her face. Since they were not live-in maids and only worked from

9.00AM to 5.00PM, they never stayed overnight at the villa. They would prepare dinner for their employers before

going home. That was why they didn't know how Evelyn sustained those injuries. Some guessed it might have been

Colton.

However, how could someone like Colton, who was known to be tender and caring toward his wife, be a domestic

abuser? Nevertheless, there were always secrets in wealthy families. Who knew what was really going on?

"Why? Do you have some information?" Evelyn looked at the maid in surprise. She knew that the maids were more

informed than she was about Colton's whereabouts. Indeed, she got all of Colton's news from the maids, but in the

current situation, she found it understandable.

"Yes. It's said that Mr. Gardner has gone abroad. They said he's going to..." The maid paused here and did not

continue her sentence.

Evelyn frowned upon hearing this. The maid's half-spoken words made her uncomfortable, and she hurriedly asked,

"Please continue. Why is he going abroad?"

She was eager to know all about Colton's current situation. Although he had promised to return that night to hear

her explanation, he had unexpectedly returned to the Gardner Residence instead.

She had gone to the Gardner Residence, but she was not welcomed there. She didn't even manage to see Colton

before she had to return.

Now, he was suddenly going abroad. She couldn't understand why he hadn't informed her about such a significant

matter.

"He's going abroad to find Miss Anderson," the maid whispered.

These maids had only joined the household later, so they only knew about Colton's past relationship from the news.

They knew that Colton had treated Nicole very well and Evelyn was said to be a third party who had entered the

picture using her child.

However, these were all rumors, and these maids didn't usually indulge in gossiping about such matters privately.

They didn't have a clear understanding of the details.

"What? What did you say? Say it again. Colton is going abroad to find who?" Upon hearing Nicole's name, Evelyn

suddenly grabbed the maid's hand and asked in agitation.

She seemed to have turned into a crazed ghost emerging from the depths of the earth. The sudden movement

startled the maid.

"Nicole." The maid trembled as she spoke and her whole body was shaking.

Since they had joined the household, Evelyn had not treated them particularly well or poorly. However, her attitude

today was completely different, and this was the first time they had seen her like this.

"Nicole. It's her again. Why is it her again?" Evelyn suddenly released the maid and turned around to walk up the

stairs while muttering to herself. She resembled a deranged spirit in the desolate wilderness.

The maid covered her wrist. Evelyn used a lot of strength just now and it left a clear red mark on her wrist.

She stared blankly at the direction Evelyn had left in, still unable to recover from the shock.

The nearby maid hurriedly walked over and led the frightened maid away. They had never seen such a situation

before. Everything had happened too quickly for them to react.

After Evelyn returned to her room, she saw the ointment still placed on the bedside table. She suddenly

remembered what Colton said to her that day, and tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.

"It's all lies. All lies!"

Bang! The sound of the ointment hitting the ground echoed in the room.
