Chapter 1377 Investigation

"Indeed, Ryan met Evelyn. They had an open conversation in my villa's living room. Before that, he made sure to

dismiss the maids from the room." Colton nodded, speaking calmly as he recounted what he had observed on the

surveillance footage.

Beryl's brow furrowed; he found Ryan's approach peculiar. Yet, he maintained a faint smile on his lips as he

responded, "He must be feeling quite anxious now. You intentionally let your uncle expose the flaw in his scheme

that you had discovered. That's why he's panicking. Someone like Ryan wouldn't blindly follow Kendrick's orders,

especially when Kendrick is in Florend and can't directly influence matters within the country."

Colton nodded in agreement. In such situations, Beryl and he seemed to share an unspoken understanding; it was a

silent connection they both relished.

"Evelyn is quite clever. However, I can't quite comprehend why she would reject Ryan's proposal," Beryl suddenly

expressed his confusion, finding it hard to fathom. He had to admit that Ryan was skilled at winning people over;

every reason he had presented to Evelyn had struck a chord within her heart without needing further unnecessary

persuasion.

For a moment, the room fell silent, just as it always did, and neither of them spoke.

Beryl wasn't in a hurry to get his question answered. He simply gazed intently at Colton.

"Didn't Ryan betray her once before? He told me how he and Evelyn conspired to poison Nicole, which forced Nicole

and me to divorce." Colton spoke after a prolonged silence. His tone was heavy, as if recounting a monumental

event.

Beryl nodded in response, refraining from further inquiry. At this point, he had pieced together enough information.

He had a general idea of what was happening, and he felt reasonably confident about what would come next.

"I understand. I have some matters to attend to as well. I'll take my leave, and if you need anything, feel free to

message me on the phone," Beryl said, sighing slightly as he looked at Colton, who was still lost in thought. He

turned and left the room.

Colton no longer needed Beryl by his side. The latter couldn't shake the feeling that there was something peculiar

about the child growing within Nicole's womb.

Ever since Colton had informed him that Nicole's baby was actually Zachary's, Beryl had investigated Zachary's

movements extensively. He discovered that Zachary's schedule had been tightly packed ever since his return to the

country, and there was barely a window of time for him to have been with Nicole long enough for her to conceive.

However, Beryl had chosen not to share this information with Colton. If he did, Colton would undoubtedly divert his

attention to investigating Zachary. In the meantime, if Ryan seized the opportunity to launch an attack on the

Gardner Family and teamed up with Kendrick, even Colton's formidable abilities might prove insufficient, potentially

resulting in the Gardner Family's downfall. The entire family would vanish from the circles they once dominated.

As he contemplated this, a shadow clouded his expression. There seems to be a need to have a conversation with

Nicole.

Back in the country, Roxanna examined the neatly arranged gift boxes before her and nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone seemed to be good at preparing the gifts.

"Very well done. Hand me the success report. I'll head over to Quill Corporation shortly," Roxanna announced, her

lips curving slightly into a gentle smile as she glanced at the nervous employees before her.

Since Nicole and Chloe's departure abroad, Roxanna had become stricter with everyone, resulting in a workforce

that operated under a certain level of fear.

"Also, regarding the recruitment of new employees, I want you to conduct preliminary screening and present the

final shortlist to me. I'll make the ultimate decision on the final list," Roxanna added as the group prepared to leave,

suddenly remembering another task she needed to address.

For the research center, this matter was of great importance. They couldn't afford to be lax, as new employees

were the new blood of the company. If they found promising talents, they could also be sent to the overseas

research center, serving as a means to alleviate the burden on Nicole and the others.
