Chapter 1025 Boss, I’m Sorry

Seeing Nicole give in to the situation, Rita sighed again. "Oh, child. You're too kind."

Nicole looked to the ground. In fact, she wasn't being kind. If Siobhan was set on protecting Evelyn, she had no

convincing evidence to prove Evelyn was guilty.

Now that Sasha had been released, there was no witness to admit Evelyn's participation in any of this.

A bitter smile appeared on Nicole's face as she shook her head. "Forget it. I've put this matter in the past, so you

don't have to worry about me. No one can harm me with Colton by my side."

Rita turned to look at Colton. The Gardners and Goulds were somewhat friends, so Rita was familiar with Colton.

She nodded and agreed, "Yes, Colton's a good man. Seeing him treating you nicely makes me feel assured."

Hearing Rita's implicative words, Colton added, "Don't worry, Old Mrs. Gould. I will treat Nicole well."

Nodding, Rita didn't continue the topic. Instead, she looked at Nicole. "By the way, my birthday is coming up. So do

come over if you have time, but my birthday might be a little boring because all we do is talk."

Nicole nodded and replied, "Madam Gould has told me about it. Don't worry, Old Mrs. Gould. I'll be there."

Afterward, the two talked about some family matters before separating.

With Hayden in his arms, Colton brought Nicole to get discharged.

It had been a while since their family was together like this.

But because of what happened to Hayden and Nicole, Colton increased the number of security guards around their

villa. As for Roger and his gang, most of them had left, leaving only two people—Roger and Roy.

When they saw Nicole, they exaggeratedly fell to their knees with a loud thump and almost kowtowed to her.

Nicole was shocked by their act and went over to pull them up, and while she was at it, she spoke in a reproaching

way. "What are you two doing? When have we become so estranged?"

Roger seemed to be enduring his emotions as all his muscles were taut. It took him a while before saying, "Boss, I

didn't complete the task you assigned and let Sasha escape. Please give us our punishment."

It was then Nicole recalled that Lome had an unwritten rule. Whenever a mission failed, the ones responsible for it

had to be punished.

It had been a while since she last visited Lome, so she had forgotten about it.

Nicole facepalmed, but those two were too well-built, so she couldn't pull them up. She stood by the side and

laughed. "Colton told me everything. You guys wouldn't have failed the mission if they hadn't threatened you guys

with my safety. Also, Lome's rules are determined by the owner. So when I say it's fine, it's fine."

She said everything at one go so that the stubborn Roger wouldn't argue with her.

As she expected, right after she finished speaking, Roger couldn't help but frown, and his face fell, like he was

thinking about something.

In the end, it seemed like he couldn't find any words to refute Nicole, so he obediently got up.

"Big guy." Just when Roger got to his feet, he heard a crisp voice from behind him.

Turning around, he saw a kid about the height of his knee. The kid seemed familiar, but only one kid he knew called

him "big guy" and wasn't afraid of him.

"Little brat," Roger replied.

Hayden instantly smiled as he fearlessly ran toward Roger with his arms wide open.

Seeing that, Roger picked Hayden up and placed him on his shoulders, saying, "You've grown quite a bit, and you're

much heavier."
