Chapter 439 Helpless

Colton lifted his glass to his lips before taking a sip of his drink. “Nicole, how much do you know about the Zuniga

Family from Durobrivae?” Nicole stared at Colton for a while.

She was overseas most of the time, so she had only heard a few things about the Zunigas. “I know that Old Mr.

Zuniga is a general,” she replied.

Colton lowered his glass cup that made a soft clink against the wooden table. He was no longer smiling at that point

—instead, he was eyeing Nicole with a severe look on his face. “It isn’t just Old Mr. Zuniga who’s a general.

All of the younger generations are generals as well. Christi is Old Mr. Zuniga’s only granddaughter, and she’s the

eldest son’s daughter. So you can’t afford to offend any of the men in her family.”

Nicole vaguely understood what Colton meant, and she looked up into his eyes while questioning him. “Are you

saying that Richard will have to stay with Christi even if he doesn’t like her?”

Colton nodded. Richard visited him with a glum look on his face that day. In the past, they used to be able to chat

and bicker with one another, but now…

It seemed as if Richard had grown a few years older overnight. If the Gardner and Jenkins Families gathered to go

against the Zunigas, they would probably lose something in the fight.

The Kohlberg group already had their eyes on the Gardners. If anything happened to them, Bryan would definitely

seize the opportunity to get involved. But, as much as Colton wanted to help Richard, it wasn’t the right time to do

so. It was crucial for the Gardners to get a partnership with F&R Enterprise, so they would be doomed if anything

went wrong.

“Richard was probably trying to protect Miss Hull by cutting ties with her. If the Zuniga Family knew that Richard

liked her…” Colton didn’t finish his sentence, but Nicole was smart enough to figure out his meaning. For the first

time, she realized that true love didn’t always bring two people together.

Nicole didn’t know if she was supposed to tell Julia about this. After all, nothing would change even if Julia knew the

truth. Perhaps Richard and Julia can run away together, but what will happen to the Jenkin and Hull Families?
