Chapter 368 Anna’s Focus

Bryan comforted Queenie as he looked at her swollen cheek. “I was just so angry just now. I’m sorry, baby. It’ll

never happen again.”

He even pretended to look affectionate after speaking.

However, Queenie knew what sort of man Bryan was, so she only feigned innocence. She still needed his support,

after all.

“Don’t worry, President Kohlberg. I’ll definitely help you deal with the Gardner Family. Naturally, I have leverage

over Gardner Corporation since I’ve been working for them for so long.” Queenie let Bryan know she was still useful

to him.

Sure enough, the man no longer looked as awful after hearing her words.

This time, he had spent loads of money and effort only to gain nothing in the end, but with leverage over Gardner

Corporation, would he need to worry about overthrowing the Gardner Family?!

“I’ll let you see to it. Come, let me take a look. Your face is all swollen. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you.”

Bryan had his way with how he treated people, showing affection after giving them punishment. It was only then his

minions would be obedient.

…

Back at the Gardner Residence, Benedict regained consciousness two days later.

Nonetheless, he was still bedridden because of the surgery.

On the other hand, Nicole remained in Gardner Residence over the past few days, never leaving Benedict’s side

apart from when she slept. She feared that another accident might happen.

Of course, Nicole’s actions hadn’t gone unnoticed by Anna, and the latter was glad. “Colton, I still think Nicole has

feelings for you, or she wouldn’t be so concerned about your grandfather.”

How could Colton not understand what his mother was trying to tell him? Now that his grandfather was okay, Anna

was worry-free, so she’d naturally turn her focus to Hayden.

With that, he lowered his head and looked at Anna, saying, “Mom, Nicole has done our family a huge favor this

time. As for Hayden, it’s still down to what she thinks. If she’s not willing to, please don’t force her.”

Anna instantly panicked when she heard Colton’s impassive tone. She had only come and talked to him about it

because she could sense his love for Nicole. “That’s not what I mean, Colton. I can tell that you like Nicole, and I

don’t oppose her marrying into our family either.”

Colton felt rather helpless about his mother’s anxiousness.

It was a good thing for him that Anna favored Nicole, but knowing the latter, she wouldn’t compromise easily.

“Mom, a relationship will only work if both parties are happy to be together. You can’t possibly kidnap Nicole and

bring her here, can you?”

Anna fell silent at that. She had been wishing for a grandchild for nearly a decade, and she had never seen Colton

falling in love with any other woman since Sasha left.

Now that so many years had passed and a woman finally caught Colton’s fancy, could he blame her for being

worked up? They even had a child together.

“But—” Colton stopped his mother when she was about to say something. “Mom, we’re in Nicole’s debt now. You

can’t possibly force her to have Hayden acknowledge his parentage now, can you?”

Anna fell silent for a long time after hearing Colton’s words.

Her son was right; she couldn’t do that.

Anna sighed after mulling over it. She was getting on in years now and couldn’t do anything about the issues

between these youngsters anymore.

With that, she waved her hand and said, “Fine, this is between you two, so I’ll just stay out of it. I’ll try to stop the

media and not let anyone know Hayden’s a Gardner.”

Colton smiled upon hearing that his mother thought of the common good. At the very least, she was still

reasonable. “Thanks, Mom.”

Nicole, on the other hand, only left Gardner Residence after Benedict’s condition was stable. As her days had been

topsy-turvy of late, she didn’t ask about what was going on with the outside world.
