Chapter 1362 The Actual Reason

Kendrick fell deep into thought as he gazed at the night view outside his window. Ryan had told him that Colton was

there to look for Nicole. If that's the case, then why didn't he show any response when seeing Nicole today? The

same question bothered Kendrick throughout the night, and he simply couldn't make sense of it. He was thinking

about this even while he was at the gathering earlier.

Colton was an extremely powerful enemy to have—Kendrick was much more terrified of Colton than he was of

Benjamin. I can't allow any of this to be exposed. I have to get Ryan to speed up his work. Perhaps Colton is only

using Nicole as an excuse to visit Florend, and perhaps his actual reason is to attack me, Kendrick thought to

himself. But… If he doesn't go to Monterey, then there wouldn't be anyone to watch over the companies in the

country. There'd be an easy target over at Monterey.

Kendrick curled his lips into a smirk at that thought. Perhaps this isn't all bad. I can use myself as bait, and I can get

Colton to be hooked on me. Right then, Kendrick heard his phone ringing. His gaze darkened when he saw his

phone screen flashing beside him. It was a call from Ryan. Ever since Colton left the country, Kendrick provided

Ryan with his actual contact number so that Ryan could contact him easily.

However, Ryan wasn't as simple of a man as he had thought. Ryan really thinks that I don't know about all his subtle

gestures back in the country, huh? Without much hesitation, Kendrick picked up his phone. "What is it?"

"Things are nearly ready here. I bought some small portions of the Gardner Family's shares from others, and we're

considered shareholders now. However, I bought it under someone else's name, so the Gardners don't know that

I'm the shareholder now." Ryan spoke in a rather haughty tone as if he was trying to show off to Kendrick.

Kendrick's expression darkened upon hearing the man's words. Aren't things going a little too smoothly?

Regardless, Kendrick didn't have much of an understanding of the country's situation, so all he could do was make

judgments based on Ryan's words. Fortunately for him, Ryan was a relatively competent man, and all it took were a

few words to ensure that Ryan would get the job done well.

"It seems to be going a little too smoothly. Perhaps you should be more alert. If you still don't face any obstacles,

you might want to hold things off for a few days to observe the situation first," Kendrick ordered in a deep voice. All

they had was this one chance. If they didn't succeed this time, it wasn't just Ryan who would fall into the hands of

the Gardners—Kendrick would be affected as well.

"I got it. Don't worry." Ryan was confident in his abilities to handle this matter. They chatted for a while before they

ended the call. After that, Kendrick pulled his blinds shut before he walked over to his bed to sit down. Nicole's face

popped up in his mind. The most shocking news he received that day was the news of Nicole's pregnancy. Kendrick

took some time to recall the past, and he remembered how Nicole had been dressed in loose clothing the entire

time. She never wore high heels, either. I should've realized something then. But Kendrick had been too obsessed

with the fact that he found Nicole, and he had been too excited about his success in partnering up with her. Who

does the child belong to?

Kendrick narrowed his eyes a little. If the child belongs to Colton, then… Knowing Colton, he wouldn't allow Nicole to

just fly over to Florend. In other words, the child can't possibly belong to Colton. If that's the case, then everything

seems to make more sense.

Kendrick was in a good mood after that. He wasn't bothered by the fact that Nicole had a child. After all, regardless

of who the child belonged to, Kendrick didn't mind taking the child as his biological child in the future. What

mattered the most to Kendrick then was for him to settle things with Louis. Once that's done, there'll be nothing

that comes between Nicole and me. I'll be able to take revenge for the Hofsteads then.

Meanwhile, at Loft Apartments, Chloe walked out of her room to find Nicole hunting for food in the fridge. "Nicole?"

Chloe was shocked to learn that Nicole had this side to her as well.
