Chapter 252 Unimaginable Consequences

Nicole touched her nose in embarrassment when she thought about what transpired yesterday, and she laughed

awkwardly before she said, “That is good, then. I’ll have to go home now. Little Hayden is still waiting for me to go

back.”

“Go back after breakfast. I am done preparing the food anyway.” Colton scanned Nicole from head to toe as he

spoke. With a tug at the corners of his mouth, he continued, “You don’t look like you are ready to head out. Go

freshen up. I have already asked someone to bring some clothes over. Why don’t you go after you change into

some new clothes?”

She didn’t reject his suggestion. She was indeed a little uncomfortable now, after going to bed without taking a

shower first because both her mind and body were exhausted last night.

“Thank you, President Gardner,” she replied with a nod.

As the conversation ended, Nicole went and quickly washed up before going downstairs for dinner.

She did not know that Colton was not only a cook but was, in fact, one that was more skillful than her. The first thing

she saw when she headed downstairs was a variety of food that made up an English breakfast.

She started off with a sip of the seafood and mushroom chowder, and her eyes glinted excitedly as she proceeded

to dive right in. “Did you really cook this chowder, President Gardner?” she asked in disbelief. “It is so good!”

Seeing her enjoying the food, Colton let out a small smile and answered, “Well, I like living alone, so I naturally

learned how to cook. You can have more if you like it.”

Nicole then downed the bowl of chowder in one big gulp.

After emptying her bowl, she suddenly remembered something, and she looked up at him. “How do you plan to

handle what happened last night, President Gardner?” she asked.

She already had a grudge against Queenie to begin with. The reason why she was bringing up last night to Colton

now was to make Queenie’s life miserable.

Sure enough, his handsome face fell as soon as she mentioned it. With his thin lips slightly pursed, Colton clenched

his fists that he was resting on the table as his dark eyes turned black. “Since she has the guts to do it, she should

know the consequences that await her,” he jeered.

Nicole quietly snickered to herself after hearing his words. It seemed like Queenie was finally going to reap what

she sowed.

Nicole didn’t give much of a reply before she fell completely silent with her head down.

Tony came with the clothes right when she was done with her breakfast. He even tried to probe when he was

passing the clothes to Colton.

“Are you hiding a lover in your house, President Gardner? Come on and let me have a look at her. I want to know

what kind of woman it is that stole your heart.”

Unsurprisingly, all he got in return was an icy reply. “Scram.”

Now that the clothes were here, Nicole took a shower at Colton’s place, and finally left after she changed out of her

clothes from yesterday.

…

Queenie hadn’t slept a wink since she got home last night. She had stared at nothing in particular until the rays of

sunlight broke through the darkness of the night.

The area under her eyes was dark by the time she got up.

The Andersons were doomed if Colton decided to get to the bottom of what happened last night.

Lydia could tell from Queenie’s disheartened look that last night had been a failure, but she didn’t let it bother her

as she only thought of it as a failed plan. “Don’t worry about it,” she encouraged her daughter. “There is always a

next chance. You can take the opportunity to do something as long as you stay by Colton’s side.”

Pressing her lips together, Queenie was hit by a gush of anger when she thought about how Colton knew that she

had spiked his drink. She immediately sat up and looked at Lydia. “Colton wouldn’t have noticed if only you didn’t

ask me to drug him!” she complained.

Instead of reacting to her outburst, Lydia was focused on the main point of her daughter’s words. “You already

drugged him?”

“Not only that, he also knows that I was the one who drugged him!” Queenie nodded and clenched her jaw.

Lydia started to panic at that. “Did he catch you in the act?” she urged.

“He didn’t.” Queenie then closed her eyes. She would be dead if he had caught her red-handed.

Lydia immediately let out a relieved sigh when she heard that. “That is fine, then. It will all work out as long as you

insist it wasn’t you.”

Queenie looked at Lydia as she listened. Truth was, that wasn’t the only reason she couldn’t sleep last night. There

was Nicole to deal with too!

“I almost succeeded at bringing Colton out with me, but that b*tch Nicole came and took him away from me

halfway!”

Worried that he wouldn’t lay his hands on her, Queenie had doubled the normal dosage of the drug when she

placed it in Colton’s drink. With the drug in his system and Nicole by his side… She couldn’t even begin to imagine

what could have happened after the duo left!
