Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1245 Person Behind the Scenes

"Nicole, the incident involving the Yaels has concluded. The court has decided on a sentence. Logan admitted to all the charges, allowing Ryan to escape. This means that Ryan is declared innocent."

Colton walked up to Nicole with a grave expression on his face. This ending was entirely beyond his expectations. After all, Colton couldn't imagine someone like Logan would sacrifice himself to save his grandson at critical times.

Nicole was sullen when she heard that. If Ryan escaped punishment by law, her life from here on out might get ruined as well.

"Oh, right, we have to figure out who else is backing the Yaels." Nicole seemed to have thought of something as she suddenly spoke up.

When Colton heard that, he nodded. "Yes, we have to figure out who it is. At the testing grounds, we found that this person has constant dealings with the Yaels, and there are some orders the Yaels haven't completed. He must have carried out similar deals in other places."

"If so, then the person behind the scenes must have a backing so strong we can never even imagine." Nicole looked like she had just seen something extremely terrifying.

Colton sensed Nicole's changes in emotion, so he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to comfort her. "Don't worry, as long as we work together as a couple, we'll eventually discover the truth."

Nicole leaned against Colton's shoulder, reassured. "What about Evelyn?"

Even though Evelyn did a lot of bad things, she was still pregnant now, so if she was out there all

alone…

"Who cares about her? She lied to us and said that the child was mine. She saddened you so much, so I won't forgive her for that!" Hatred burned in Colton's eyes as he tightened his grip.

Nicole sensed the increased force on her shoulder, but it wasn't painful. She understood the hatred in Colton's heart, so she didn't stop him.

"I wasn't worried about her; I just worry that she might work together with Ryan to harm us."

To be honest, Nicole's worries were necessary. Judging by Evelyn's and Ryan's personalities, if they managed to encounter each other, they would start scheming together to exact revenge on Nicole.

Nicole sighed in exasperation. She had no idea when she had gotten so many enemies. For a moment, the thought of it exhausted her.

"Nicole, it's time for you to rest. You're pregnant now, so you're not as energetic as you used to be. You have to take a break when it's time to rest." Roxanna came over with some anti-abortifacient pills as she spoke anxiously. She feared that Nicole would focus solely on work and ignore her health, just like before.

Nicole's eyes curved as she smiled. "All right, got it. Look at you, ever since you learned that I'm pregnant, you'd urge me to rest every day."

Colton looked at Nicole, his heart relaxing quite a bit. "Okay, then, Nicole, you should get some rest. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be back at night to spend more time with you."

"Go ahead and take care. You have to prioritize your safety, understand?" Nicole nodded.

She was still a little worried, especially when she learned that Colton was about to investigate the identity of the person backing the Yaels. That person's power should never be underestimated, so Colton had to be extra careful in everything he did.

Colton nodded lovingly, then watched as Nicole returned to her room. It was only then that he turned around and left. The staff at the medical base would take care of Nicole, so Colton didn't have to worry about her.

Outside the medical bases stood Ryan. When he saw Colton coming out from within, he hastily angled his body and hid behind some bushes at the side. Colton had just gotten out when his expression darkened. Just now, when he was in the medical base, he didn't want Nicole to worry, so he hid his emotions throughout the conversation.

"President Gardner, we found out that the number behind the scenes was an analog number, so we couldn't figure out who exactly used that number." Colton's secretary walked up to him and reported the results of the recent task with a stern expression.

Colton's expression darkened even more. "Keep digging. Try to follow the IP address if you can. It's no use if you just stick to a mere number!"
