Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1246 A Woman Who Would Stop at Nothing

"Understood." The secretary accepted the mission, trembling.

Ever since Colton realized that the person behind the scenes was difficult to investigate, he was down in the dumps. He feared that the person was even more powerful than the Gardners. If that truly were the case, the incident would get even trickier.

Ryan's expression shifted. From the conversation, he could make out something about IP addresses. Following the Yaels' fall, probably only those backing the Yaels were powerful enough to cause Colton anxiety. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though the person was involved with the Yaels, Ryan didn't know who they were either. The person even had a voice changer when they talked on the phone, and Ryan never truly knew the person's phone number.

However, there was once when the person revealed that their power was above the Gardners. Not many people could rival the power of the Gardners.

"Forget it." Ryan shook his head. This wasn't something he should be concerned about anymore. After all, the Yaels were done for, and even they had no idea about the identity of the person behind the scenes, so he couldn't interfere even if he wanted to.

Nicole's tutor, White, had a grudge against the Yaels, and Ryan would avenge the Yaels no matter what. Since White was already gone, Nicole would be the one to endure his wrath.

Evelyn walked aimlessly on the street, her mind filled with the expression on Colton's face when he looked at her. He was extremely disgusted, and the feeling rose from the depths of his heart—a feeling

she couldn't understand.

She slowly caressed her tummy. It was true that the child she bore didn't belong to Colton, so whose could it be…?

"Evelyn."

Evelyn heard someone calling her name, and she turned around in shock. She had no idea who would call out to her at times like this. After all, she was at her wits' end.

"Ryan?" When Evelyn saw the man, she frowned slightly.

Ryan curved his lips into a faint smile as he slowly walked up to Evelyn. He glanced at Evelyn's slightly protruding stomach, then said in surprise, "You're pregnant?"

"That's none of your business." Evelyn's pretty eyebrows creased. She turned around and left without so much as a glance back.

Ryan silently watched Evelyn leave. He didn't get mad; instead, his smile only widened.

Evelyn hastened her steps as she walked away. It gradually became clear in her mind that she had been affected by Colton's attitude. He claimed that he had regained his memories, but she still could make him believe that his memories were jumbled up.

Ryan's appearance this time had given her an opportunity. After making up her mind, she headed toward Colton's company. No matter what happened, she wouldn't let go so easily this time.

Nicole lay in her room for a long while, feeling uneasy somehow. Her eyes were wide open as she stared intently at the hour hand on the clock, thinking that she should go to the company and pick Colton up from work.

Now that Nicole had decided what to do, she got up without another word. After a quick wash-up, she headed right out the door.

Evelyn deceived the receptionist with Nicole's name and managed to get into the elevator reserved especially for Colton.

When she was in the medical base in the past, she had thrown a tantrum to get her opportunity. She would make use of it until the very end.

Colton sat in his office, completely oblivious to the news that he would be getting soon.

Evelyn stood outside the office. The door was made of glass, so she could see what was happening in the office just by standing at the door.

She gazed dreamily at Colton, who had his head bowed as he worked diligently. This man was so outstanding that he should belong to her. No one could take from her what was rightfully hers.

"Colton." Fearing that Colton would call security to chase her out straight away, Evelyn opened the door and walked right in, then started speaking so that she could grasp the chance to tell Colton what she wanted to say to him.

Colton looked up when he heard her voice. When he saw Evelyn gazing at him with a certain look, he frowned deeply as he said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

He didn't know what tactics Evelyn used to get up here, but it wasn't a surprise to him. After all, it was highly possible that this woman would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
