Chapter 364 Should Definitely Investigate

“Miss Nicole, Miss Julia, we are forever in your debt for saving Old Mr. Benedict’s life. I promise you that I will dig

into the case. But now, you two have to rest. We’ll talk about this later.”

Nicole was indeed well spent and considerably burned-out, so she nodded in agreement. “Although Old Mr. Benedict

When he saw how pale Nicole looked, Colton pulled her arm closer to him and carried her bridal style.

Nicole reflexively struggled when she was caught off guard, but Colton naturally wouldn’t give her the chance to do

only go upstairs to rest with the help of the Gardners’ servants.

grim as they chewed on Nicole’s words.

When he saw that Colton had returned, Benjamin turned to him and asked, “What do you think about this?”
