Chapter 519 A Clarification

Colton didn’t feel pity for the man when he heard the man’s grief. “Who tempted you?” he asked. “I-I don’t know. I

haven’t met him before. All I know is that he is a man through the phone.” The man shook his head and choked on

his words.

Hearing his words, Colton sneered and looked at the man. “I’ll give you two choices. The first one is to explain the

situation of your sister’s death. Either that, I’ll let you join your sister,” he said.

“I choose the first. I don’t want to die.” The man nodded as he was frightened by Colton’s words.

Then, Colton chuckled and waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to let the man go. “I like people who know

what they are in for. Tomorrow, I will hold a press conference. I’m sure you will know what to say and what not to,”

he said coldly.

The man nodded his head repeatedly and promised, saying, “I understand.”

Only then did Colton say, “Take this man to rest. I want to see him in good shape when tomorrow comes.” As he

saw the frightened man’s expression, he added, “If he tries to do anything funny, just do whatever you please—no

bruises on his face, though.”

When the bodyguards took the man away, Nicole turned to Colton, saying, “Will this work? Wouldn’t he be angry

because of your threats?”

Hearing her words, Colton chuckled and looked at her as he stood up. He leaned closer to her, reaching out to her

face. Nicole was startled by his actions and tried to step back, but Colton pulled her back.

“Are you concerned about me?” he asked.

“Since this man was chosen, he wouldn’t be that easily threatened. I’m afraid that he will do something at

tomorrow’s conference.” Nicole glared at him and swatted his hand away.

“We’ll see about it, then.” Colton smiled, not seeming to care about it.

Nicole saw how he wasn’t bothered by it, so she felt that perhaps he had something up his sleeve. Thus, she didn’t

say anything more.

The next day, it was pouring rain outside. The leaves were rustling when the rain droplets hit them. Meanwhile,

Nicole sat inside the car while looking outside. She saw that there was a wooden bench under the tree, and it was

being filled with a puddle of water when the raindrops fell from the leaves and onto it.

Seeing how she was deep in thought, Colton smiled and asked, “Is there something on your mind?”

Upon hearing his words, Nicole averted her gaze from the scene and looked at him, who was smiling. Then, she

nodded her head. Ever since she sat inside the car, there was a bad feeling in her gut. She suppressed it and said,

“I just feel like something is going to happen. I feel uneasy.”

“I’m here. Nothing will happen,” said Colton, comforting her when he saw the worry in her eyes.

Slowly, Nicole was at ease when she saw how confident Colton was. Maybe I’m just overreacting, she thought.

Although the rain was pouring, the driver drove the car with ease. Nicole was getting fed up with the sound of rain

hitting the car, so she closed her eyes and leaned against the chair.

After some time, the vehicle stopped as it had arrived at its destination. The bodyguards were holding an umbrella

above them due to the rain. Inside the room, many reporters had gathered as they were all invited by Colton. They

obliged his invitation due to their respect for him.

Nicole and Colton walked by each other’s side while the bodyguards escorted the man.
