Chapter 329 Hiring Alice

Queenie felt hurt to see how heartless Colton was. At the start, it was true that Queenie had approached Colton

because of how rich the Gardner Family was.

However, after interacting with him for a while, she realized that she genuinely had feelings for him. Yet, the man

that she had fancied for five years wasn’t even willing to speak to her. At that point, Queenie felt more determined

than ever—she had to succeed this time!

A hint of evil flashed across her gaze as she thought to herself, Don’t blame me for being heartless, Colton. You

were the one who refused to play nice.

She softened her tone of voice as she spoke. “I know that what happened previously was my mistake, Colton. I

know what I did wrong. That’s why I’m here to apologize. I hired Dr. Toth, and he said that he could promise at least

50% success in this surgery.”

The same cold and uninterested look stayed on Colton’s face, and he didn’t show any sign of emotion at all. “The

Gardner Family doesn’t need outsiders to meddle with their business.

Leave before I shout at you,” he uttered. Queenie was hurt by his words, but she no longer dared to linger around

after hearing his words. In the end, she gritted her teeth and excused herself.

Anna, on the other hand, sounded rather interested in what Queenie had offered. “Queenie might have made a

mistake, but if there’s really a 50% chance of success, then I think we could get Pierre to come over and give it a

try.”

Colton knew what Anna was thinking, so he tried to comfort her. “Let’s put Pierre aside for now. I’ve been trying to

contact White’s apprentices, and I’m starting to make some progress. Give me until this month, and we can

consider Pierre if I don’t find the apprentices.

A look of disbelief flashed across Nicole’s face. How could Pierre promise a 50% success rate? Since when did he

become so good at this? Judging by the sort of person he is, he’s probably just lying!

However, Nicole couldn’t say much in fear that she might expose herself. “Didn’t you say that you had things to do?

Why are you back so early?”

Anna looked at Colton curiously. She heard that Colton had something to do in the morning, as he had rushed out of

the house. Yet, he was back before it was noon. “I’ve settled things,” Colton answered dismissively.

The truth was that Wendy had called him to tell him that Nicole came over—that was why he rushed back from the

company. “Well, you can talk to Nicole for a while.

I’ll go play with Hayden.” Anna was a thoughtful woman, so she claimed to have things to do before leaving them

alone.

Colton’s gaze landed on Nicole after Anna left. “Did you say that you don’t want to have Sarah as the

ambassador?” he asked after some contemplation.

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded firmly. A slightly amused smirk formed on Colton’s face as he continued to question her.

“Alice Murphy is a famous award-winning actress, so it’s going to exceed our budget if we hire her. Do you still want

her?”

It was Nicole’s turn to smirk this time. “I believe Alice’s identity is a good match for Ann’s standards.”

Colton didn’t seem to have much of an opinion. He simply nodded in agreement. “Fine. Let’s go with Alice Murphy.

I’ll get the law department to settle Sarah’s termination fees.”

“There’s no need for that,” Nicole uttered abruptly.

Colton froze for a moment. He seemed to understand the situation when he saw the confident smile on Nicole’s

face. “Do you have a plan of your own?” he asked while narrowing his eyes.

“The company won’t have to pay a single cent. Instead, we’ll be able to get Sarah to pay, and this sum will

contribute to the funds needed to hire Alice,” Nicole replied.

Nicole and Sarah never had any conflict in the past, but it was Sarah who had been too condescending toward

Nicole. Sarah had made things tense between both of them, so Nicole figured that she would teach Sarah a lesson.

When Colton saw how confident Nicole looked, he no longer felt concerned or worried about the situation. Nicole

probably has her own way of settling this.
