Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1291 Ball

Chloe left with Nicole, but she had questions. Carefully, she asked, "Hey, that baby might not belong to Colton, Nicole. If that's true, what you did just doomed your relationship."

Nicole looked at her, and she realized something, then she smiled gently. So, she can see that as well. "Do you think someone like Colton wouldn't have looked into it? The fact that he's keeping the child and coming shopping with Evelyn means that child is his."

Nicole was speaking calmly, as though that story belonged to someone else, not her. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"But are you going to let Evelyn off the hook just like that? If Roxanna and I are right, she's the one who planted that bug in you, isn't she?" Chloe frowned. She knew Nicole was right, but this just didn't sit well with her.

"It's alright. She won't be laughing for much longer. I won't forgive her that easily." The look in Nicole's eyes darkened. She was a different woman now. She didn't think Evelyn could possess something as powerful as a supreme voodoo bug. Someone must've helped her, and she guessed that it was Ryan.

She had to find conclusive proof since conjectures were nothing but guesses. Nicole looked around, then her eyes shone, and she pointed at an upscale store and dragged Chloe into it. "This one, please," Nicole asked the retail assistant to take the dress down and paid for it.

When Chloe realized what was happening, Nicole had finished her purchase.

"This is fine?" Chloe asked, uncertain. She was surprised that Nicole finally bought a dress after dawdling around for so long.

Nicole nodded with determination. She wanted this dress.

Chloe took the dress, feeling dubious, then they went back to the medical base.

"You're back!" Albert quickly welcomed them the moment he saw Nicole. He quickly said, "I'd have sent my men to look for you if you hadn't returned. Get preparing. I can't wait."

Nicole smiled. Albert might be an old man now, but he was as spry as a child. Since he stayed overseas most of the time, he loved surprises.

Chloe nodded at Roxanna, who was approaching them. They did their jobs, and the ball was underway soon.

Nicole went back to her room and dressed herself up. She was in a good mood, since a lot of stuff was dealt with. It relieved her. For the first time in a while, she whipped out her makeup products and put on some makeup.

The clock struck eight. It was time for the ball to begin. Happiness hung in the air. Everyone in the medical base looked forward to this ball.

"Alright, people. Farewell party for Mr. Lloyd is a-go!"

Roxanna was the host, given that she was a lively woman. She was great at hyping up events and ensuring that the party ran smoothly.

Albert was sitting among the crowd. He was smiling, but his tears glistened and glimmered under the light. "Good show!" An excited Albert clapped for Roxanna.

The crowd applauded as well. The party had only just begun, but everyone was already cheering.

Roxanna grinned. "And now, Nicole shall be performing a tune for us. 'Be Still, My Heart.'"

Albert's eyes shone, and he focused on the stage, waiting for Nicole to show up.

Everyone applauded, and Nicole slowly made her appearance. She was about to bow, but she saw Colton standing at the doorway, and she froze. Why is he here?

Chloe was under the stage, controlling the crowd, and she noticed that Nicole was acting strangely.
