Chapter 1360 A Favor

Wendy had the box of meatballs in her hand as she stepped closer to Beryl with a sinister smile on her face. Beryl

instinctively tightened his bathrobe when he saw the look on the woman's face. "What do you want to do?"

"I'm sure you know what I want, Beryl. I have a few questions, and you just need to answer me," she replied with a

smile. The man found himself pressed against the window behind him as Wendy continued to speak at a slow pace.

"You don't have to hide from me anymore, Beryl. You know what I'm like."

The man couldn't help but roll his eyes. This woman must be getting curious again. Well, Colton's actions are pretty

conspicuous this time around, so I'm sure this woman must have realized something. But this matter… Forget it. It's

no secret, anyway. "Well, it's not a big deal. The Hofstead Family has a son who has been targeting Colton and the

Gardner Family because he wants to get revenge. That's it." Beryl let out an exasperated sigh before he pushed

Wendy away to slip out from the corner. He let out another slow sigh of relief after that.

Wendy nodded. Her goal had been achieved, so she glanced at her surroundings before leaving the meatballs on

the table. When she looked up and noticed the confusion in Beryl's eyes, she explained herself in a bashful tone.

"That's for your hard work. I'll leave now." Without giving the man a chance to say much, Wendy strode out of the

room and shut the door behind her. Beryl took a look at the box of meatballs. It obviously looked like leftovers that

one couldn't finish after eating some of it.

"It's just my bad luck," Beryl mumbled to himself while shaking his head. He happened to feel rather hungry, so he

sat down at the table. He didn't have any disposable gloves in the room, so he ended up eating the meatballs with

his bare hands. The meatballs weren't too filling, and they were pretty delicious, so it only took him a few minutes

to finish all of it.

Once Wendy achieved her primary goal, she headed back to her room with a pleased look on her face. She

repeated whatever Beryl had said earlier to herself as she typed the words out on her screen before sending the

message to Nicole. Just another day of helping Nicole out! Well, I guess my efforts didn't go to waste, since I

managed to help Nicole and Colton. I'm not allowed to leave the hotel without Colton, anyway. It's a shame how

work and holidays seem to exist together.

Meanwhile, Nicole couldn't fall asleep after receiving the news from Wendy. She couldn't help but wonder about the

news that had turned Colton's face so pale earlier in the day. Furthermore, she couldn't get her mind off Kendrick,

who seemed to act rather differently toward her. She had a feeling that she used to know him, but regardless of

how much she tried to dig into the depths of her memories, the man's face still seemed rather foreign to her.

After some time, Nicole found herself getting a headache from all the thinking. She ended up walking over to the

window and opening it to get some fresh air. Ding. It was a notification from her phone. She assumed that it was a

text from Wendy, so she hastily shut her window before picking up her phone to scroll through her notifications.

"The Hofsteads? The Gardners?"

Nicole didn't know anything about the past. Back then, she was still a young girl who was focused on honing her

medical skills—she had been well-protected by her master. On top of that, this was a long time ago, and she

couldn't recall much from that time. She ended up running an online search for more information. The information

online wasn't always accurate, but she figured that it would give her some clues and a direction to work toward.

'The Hofsteads and the Gardners' fight is like a battle between the gods. The Gardners are a little too mean,

though. They forced the Hofsteads into bankruptcy. It's true when they say that the business industry is brutal and

heartless—all they care about are their benefits.' Nicole happened to stumble upon a comment that was supportive

of the Hofstead Family and against the Gardners.
