Chapter 427 Almost Discovered

Although the guests were angry at Hayden, they still dared not say anything in front of Old Mr. Benedict for fear of

making the old man irate.

After Nicole briefly chatted with Anna, she secretly left for the backyard. She was just recalling what Colton had told

her and slowly approached the room, where she heard a woman gasping and screaming.

In the midst of the gasping and screaming, Nicole could also hear some men’s jeers, all of which were unpleasant.
