Chapter 737

When Queenie heard Nicole was still defending Madeline, she smiled maliciously as she shed vindictive tears. Then,

she raised her head and looked at Colton with teary eyes before she turned to Nicole and mocked, "Nicole, I know

what you're thinking! Your parents divorced in the early years, so you think you are safe by passing the buck to

Dad! Oh, how ridiculous you are! Why would it take the Gardners such a long time to learn the truth and the real

murderer if your Mom and Dad hadn't joined hands back then?! And why didn't your Mom report Dad for

committing a hit-and-run if she was truly innocent?!"

Every word that escaped from Queenie's lips was akin to a sharp dagger as it sent a stabbing pain to Nicole's heart.

Nicole's eyes darkened with displeasure, yet she couldn't refute Queenie's words because they made sense.

Colton immediately stood protectively in front of Nicole as he regarded Queenie sullenly. Finally, he simply repeated

his order coldly, "Leave."

Queenie still wanted to add her two cents, but he had run out of patience. Therefore, he impatiently grabbed the

phone and called the villa's security guards.

The security guards swiftly arrived at the room with a respectful demeanor and inquired, "Mr. Gardner, is there

anything that we can help you with?"

Colton looked at them, pointed at Queenie, and said, "This is a deluxe villa residential area, but why are you guys

letting all sorts of people in?"

The team of security guards broke out in cold sweat when they heard the solemn tone in his voice. There was

indeed a precise regulation regarding this before. In the rule, except for the villa's owner and the person registered

by the villa's owner, the security must notify the respective villa owners in advance if anyone other than the listed

person wished to enter, regardless of their status.

Unfortunately, they omitted this procedure today merely because they had spotted Queenie and Colton together

before.

"We are so sorry, Mr. Gardner. We'll take her away from here in this instance." Immediately afterward, the security

guards started dragging her away.

She struggled with all her might to break free from their grasp as she stared at the two with obvious resentment in

her eyes. "Colton! Even if my Dad was the one who killed Old Mrs. Gardner, Nicole's Mom was involved in it too! The

Gardners will never allow the two of you to be together!"

Even so, Colton ignored her shrill exclamations. Instead, he closed the door right after she was forced out.

Hayden, who was in the back area of the house the whole time, overheard the entire conversation and understood

the implications. Nonetheless, he waited until the two returned before he looked up and asked, "Mom, will things

really turn out the same as what that woman said?"

Nicole, who was initially immersed in the joy of being about to solve the case just now, never thought that Queenie's

words would deal such a shocking blow. Nevertheless, it was enough to make her stumble in her certainty that her

mother was innocent.

Colton quickly composed himself and wiped away the sullen look on his face. Then, as his face softened, he

squatted down, hugged Hayden, and reassured softly, "Everything will be fine. Don't worry, Hayden. I will take care

of this matter."

Nicole fluttered her lashes as she stared at her feet and heard Colton's voice. She knew that he wasn't just saying

those words to comfort Hayden but also saying them to her.

But Queenie did have a point, she pondered over the matter for a while. After a long time, she looked up at Colton

and intoned, "What Queenie said makes sense too. Even if it was William who hit Old Mrs. Gardner with his car, my

Mom was also in the vehicle. She even took the initiative to change seats with William. So, even if it wasn't my Mom

who did it, she was an accomplice."

Nicole had placed so much faith in Madeline that she had never thought about these things when she was

desperate to clear Madeline's name.

Colton curled his lips slightly at her words. He looked at Nicole with a genuine smile and said softly, "Don't worry. As

long as William admits he's the murderer, I will take care of the rest."

Nicole felt a little odd when she noticed that he was still taking her side. Hence, she asked, "Even if I don't

acknowledge William as my Dad now, he is still my biological father. Plus, my mom was also in the car when the

incident occurred. So do you seriously not hate me?"

Then, she scrutinised him closely for fear that he would actually tell her that he did hate her.

Her question didn't faze him as he replied calmly, "Regardless of whose fault it was, they can't let the next

generation suffer from their grudges."

Meanwhile, Hayden, noticing Nicole's rather distraught state, hurriedly added, "That's right. Mom. Dad can tell the

difference between right and wrong. So he won't blame you for this."
