Chapter 1321 Progressing Well

"Hello?" Nicole's long-awaited voice suddenly echoed in Roxanna's ear.

"I have something to tell you, Nicole. It's urgent," Roxanna asserted quickly, a hint of caution in her voice due to past instances of abrupt hang-ups.

"Hahaha. Alright, go ahead." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

As Roxanna began speaking, she discerned two distinct laughter sounds on the other end of the line. "Stop laughing; this is important." She knew that not only were the two of them together, but they were also laughing at her, which instantly made her feel embarrassed and angry.

However, the other side recognized the gravity of her tone, falling silent instantly. For a moment, no sound could be heard.

Roxanna hesitated momentarily due to the silence before continuing, "Colton came to see me today, and he told me many things." In the following moments, she conveyed everything he had shared with her to Nicole.

Nicole's intake of breath was sharp upon hearing the extent of Ryan's scheming. "Okay. Don't tell Colton anything about me," she said, her tone growing solemn. I must secretly help Colton. That person behind the scenes is definitely not in the country. Her gaze turned contemplative as her thoughts reached into the distance.

Noticing Nicole's change in tone, Roxanna assured, "Okay. Don't worry."

With their conversation concluded, they hung up.

"Ryan and Evelyn's actions are simply unforgivable." I didn't expect Ryan to still be so relentless. It's truly infuriating. Chloe's expression grew more solemn. Compared to Colton, she was even more worried about Nicole. Evelyn has targeted Nicole before because of Colton, and now that he knows about Nicole's supreme voodoo bug incident, could Evelyn try to harm her again? The thought sent shivers down her spine, and she dared not dwell on it. Besides, she had already experienced the pain of losing Nicole once, so she dreaded going through that ordeal again.

Seeing the apprehension in Chloe's eyes, Nicole understood her thoughts were veering back to the incident of her false death. "It's okay, Chloe. This time, I won't give Evelyn another opportunity to harm me," she reassured, placing a comforting hand on Chloe's shoulder. I was careless last time. I never expected Evelyn to go for the kill directly. I won't give her any more chances.

"We shouldn't show mercy to people like Evelyn," Chloe said, hugging Nicole protectively, and she wished she could just tuck her into a bag to protect her from harm.

On the other hand, Colton, leaving the research center, suddenly recalled a critical detail—Evelyn's child. Nicole must have believed that the child is mine. At this thought, he quickly sent Roxanna a text message, informing her about this fact. He was confident that she would promptly share this information with Nicole.

'Okay, I got it.' Roxanna's response was swift.

When he saw that, a faint smile tugged at his lips. She must have just finished talking to Nicole on the phone… A child. Suddenly, he remembered that Nicole was carrying a child who was merely two months old. It can't possibly be mine. Could it be Zachary's? His conviction began to waver. If the child is Zachary's, why am I doing all this?

With a pensive expression, Colton left the research center. He knew he couldn't return to the company at this point. After all, Ryan's people were likely already monitoring his every move. To avoid arousing suspicion, he needed to prepare for his trip abroad.

Meanwhile, after reassuring Chloe, Nicole saw Roxanna's message and learned that Evelyn's child wasn't Colton's. Conversely, this man had inquired about the father of Nicole's unborn child.
