Chapter 1307 Nearly Letting It Slip
"Forget it. Let's not talk about her. I heard you made a big move as soon as you got back. Good job."
Colton purposely changed the subject by bringing up Isaac's company.
"JL has made a name for itself in the country and the people have always favored national brands. The brand will
surely reach the pinnacle of success if you're able to break into the international market and gain worldwide
recognition.
Isaac simply eyed Colton in silence.
Colton's expression was a little off. Even though he was talking about JL, he seemed distracted.
Does he really think I won't pick up on that?
Isaac had a faint smirk on his face as he mentioned, "You might be able to fool others, Colton, but you can't fool
me. Is that child yours or not?"
Colton stiffened. He looked up at Isaac in shock.
He was secretly setting up a trap. Right from the start, he suspected the legitimacy of the report and instructed his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpeople to investigate. True enough, the report had been swapped.
However, they couldn't trace it back to the culprit yet. Colton suspected Ryan, but he knew there would be
someone else behind Ryan too, so he kept his investigation a secret to not tip off the enemy.
Colton's gaze darkened.
As for him betraying Nicole…
There was no changing the fact that this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been planted with a voodoo bug.
She had Zachary now. She no longer needed him.
Zachary was a faithful and capable man. It was only a matter of time before he made something of himself, and
most importantly, he could protect Nicole.
"It's mine. How can it not be?" Colton slowly replied with a mocking laugh.
A silhouette tucked away in a corner on the second floor jerked ever so slightly.
Evelyn clutched her mouth and tried her best not to make any sound.
She had been surprised by Isaac's sudden arrival. He wanted to select a bottle of wine himself.
As she was aware of the relationship between the two men, she decided to lead him to the wine cellar where he
picked out the most expensive bottle of red wine without hesitation.
Then, she used the excuse of needing to take care of the child to head upstairs. She wasn't interested in Isaac at
all.
Evelyn exhaled slowly as she forced herself to stay calm.
When she heard the commotion downstairs, she wanted to head down and greet Colton.
She didn't expect to overhear their conversation.
Thank goodness. Thank goodness Colton doesn't plan on looking any further into this matter.
Evelyn felt a burden lifted off her shoulders, but this wasn't enough for her to feel completely at ease.
After this whole affair, she realized that she had to have a child with Colton—one that was truly his.
Once she did, she could abandon the current one at an orphanage. That way, no one would be able to blackmail
her with the child's real identity.
Having made up her mind, Evelyn walked down the stairs.
"Colton! You're back."
Isaac quirked his eyebrows. The uninvited party is always the first to arrive, but it's just as well. This isn't a good
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmplace for us to talk.
"It's been so long since we last saw each other, Colton. Let's go out and grab a bite to eat together."
Evelyn didn't want that. There was no telling what kind of nasty things Isaac would say about her if Colton left with
him.
She could tell from their earlier conversation that Isaac thought very little of her.
I mustn't give Isaac the chance to do anything.
"Cal was crying for you just now, Colton," Evelyn said with a faint smile as she quickly grabbed Colton by the arm.
It was obvious that she didn't want to let him leave.
Meanwhile, Isaac saw right through her little machinations. This was the difference between Evelyn and Nicole.
He had to admit that Colton had good taste.
Isaac had never met or spoken to Nicole before.
However, he could tell from Roxanna's attitude and behavior that Nicole was a remarkable woman. Otherwise, she
wouldn't have been the subject of Colton's love.
Colton glanced at Isaac. He didn't answer right away.
