Chapter 71 Hot

As William did not hold back with his slap, Lydia was now pressing her stinging face, and tears

uncontrollably fell from the corner of her eyes.

Given Nicole’s honorable reputation as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, William already had the

plans to reel her back into the Anderson Family.

Many years ago, Lydia had driven Nicole and her mother out of Anderson Residence and banished her

from returning. “Did you even think why Queenie and Joseph would be in the same room, drugged at

the same time?” Her eyes glistened with tears as she raised her head, looking resentful.

William’s body froze. He turned to Lydia’s tear-stained face and tensed his brows. After pondering for a

bit, he quizzed, “You think it’s Nicole’s doing?”

Seeing as he was buying her implication, Lydia quickly replied, “What else could it be? Queenie was

doing just fine with President Gardner. Why would she sleep with Joseph?”

William found her words reasonable. All these years, thanks to Queenie’s efforts in playing up to the

Gardner Family, the Andersons were able to reap innumerable benefits, so indeed, Queenie had no

reason to offend the Gardners for Joseph’s sake. Thinking of this, the anger on his face waned, and he

was no longer as tilted as he was.

Sensing the result of her manipulation, Lydia hurriedly added, “Think about it. Five years ago, when

Nicole came to us begging for money to treat her mother, do you remember how we rejected her? And

this time, Nicole must be trying to get back at us by setting Queenie up!” As she was speaking, she

brushed her tears off, whimpering and saying, “Oh, Poor Queenie… she… she almost got violated!”

Hearing Lydia’s wailing, William finally calmed himself down, as shown on his face. After regaining his

composure, he recalled his memories from five years ago. Indeed, he had been dreadful toward Nicole

and her mother, sparing not even a penny for them. And that explained why Nicole returned—to take

her revenge.

“Okay, calm down now. It didn’t happen in the end, no? I’m sure President Gardner will investigate the

matter thoroughly, so it’ll only be a matter of time until the culprit is captured.” Having cooled down,

William comforted Lydia.

…

Meanwhile, in the luxurious sedan was its finely designed interiors.

Nicole, with her eyes half shut, lay back on her seat. The car windows were tightly shut. Even without

the heater, she could still feel her body burning. She put out her tongue and licked her unhydrated lips,

looking dazed when she looked ahead.

Colton, squinting his eyes, could vividly observe the woman beside him in the car. On her pale face

were her rosy cheeks as well as a pair of unglossed lips, seemingly tender and moist, that even Colton

would want to take a bite.

Having been soundless for a while, Nicole, once again, began to act up. Somehow, her hand found its

way to the buckle, and she unfastened her seatbelt before she weakly leaned against Colton. Wafting

at her lucid eyes was mist that made them look captivating. Her voice carried a hint of allure. “I’m so

hot, and your body is so cold…”

Despite that, Colton endured his urges. Seeing the red light, he pumped the brake and subsequently

pushed the woman back to her seat.

With his bassy, hoarse voice, he said, “Stay put, or I can’t guarantee what’ll happen.” He was so

tempted to talk dirty. His heart that had stayed unmoved for so long was strangely triggered by Nicole.

As if she didn’t hear him, she reached out her hands and held his head before pecking him on his

cheek.

With that, Colton was stupefied. It was as if a surge of electricity defibrillated his heart. Coming back to

his senses, he turned to her, only to see her dark, sparkling eyes. All of a sudden, a honk from behind

disrupted his thoughts, to which he hastily withdrew his body and seated himself before hitting the

pedal to head home.

Feeling not a thing in her arms, Nicole felt empty and once again threw herself onto Colton.

Left with no choice, Colton rolled down the windows. The weather was chilly outside. Along the speedy

motion of the car, an icy breeze rushed into the car, pulling the dazed woman back to her senses.
