Chapter 1112 Someone Did It on Purpose
As Colton looked at the two people trembling on the floor, there wasn't the slightest bit of compassion in his eyes.
They deserved it!
Nicole was a little annoyed at the sight of the two apologizing. If they didn't have any power or status, how would it
have ended today? These punishments were too light for arrogant people like them.
"Colton, let's go. I'm getting tired, so let's go back and rest for a bit." Nicole said, lowering her gaze.
Colton nodded. He glanced at the security guards wailing on the floor in the corridor, then turned around and
carried Nicole in his arms.
Everyone was watching, so Nicole lowered her head in embarrassment. She murmured, "You don't have to do this. I
wasn't hurt, so I can walk on my own."

Colton lowered his head to look at her, his voice softening. "I won't have them dirtying your feet."
With that, he left with Nicole in his arms.
When Colton and Nicole were gone, Harrison finally let out a huge sigh of relief. He dropped to the floor and panted
heavily, sweat already gushing out of his pores. The incident just now was too terrifying, and the vicious glare from
Colton looked like it would kill him at any moment.
"Darling… Darling, what do we do now?" The plump woman was terrified as she asked Harrison in a shaky voice.
Harrison turned to look at the plump woman and asked, "Why did you come here today?"
The plump woman took out her phone and passed it to him. "Someone called me here."
Harrison had been in the business field for so long that he could see through these tricks in an instant. Someone did
it on purpose!
He lowered his head to look at the number on the phone. The call was made when he brought Nicole upstairs!
He gripped the phone tightly. Just seeing the plump woman made him extremely mad. He began shouting, "You
stupid woman! You didn't even know you were being used! Now that we've offended the Gardners, we definitely
won't make it out alive!"
The plump woman was panicking as well, and anxiety filled her eyes as she hastily asked, "Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do? We can only wait for bankruptcy and days of poverty." With that, Harrison left without even
looking back.
Only then did the plump woman realize the grave mistake she had committed. She ran after him with the phone in
her hand, but as soon as she went out, someone gave her a call.
"Mrs. Riggs, bad news! All our property is confiscated. They said that it's because the company went bankrupt, and
even the hotel isn't ours anymore."

The plump woman's heart skipped a beat. Her face suddenly turned white as she said in a heavy tone, "What did
you say?!"
"Mrs. Riggs, we're bankrupt," the person said while sobbing.
The plump woman lost all her energy and plopped down in the elevator. She always had things her way all her life
and had never faced any troubles, but now she had gone bankrupt overnight!
"I… I see." The plump woman responded, then struggled to get up in the elevator. Just then, the elevator doors
opened, and she ended the call.
At that moment, fierce anger burned within her heart. She had ended up like this entirely because of the woman
who called her.
That woman did it on purpose. She must have known Nicole's identity and set up this plan. Now, the plump woman
was left with nothing.
At that thought, the plump woman grew even angrier. She took out her phone and dialed the woman's number.
Evelyn was sitting in the main hall with a magazine in her hands. She had just witnessed Colton carrying Nicole out,
and the intimate actions between the two pricked her heart.
