Right Person, Wrong Time

As Colton looked at the two people trembling on the floor, there wasn't the slightest bit of compassion in his eyes. They deserved it!

Nicole was a little annoyed at the sight of the two apologizing. If they didn't have any power or status, how would it have ended today? These punishments were too light for arrogant people like them.

"Colton, let's go. I'm getting tired, so let's go back and rest for a bit." Nicole said, lowering her gaze.

Colton nodded. He glanced at the security guards wailing on the floor in the corridor, then turned around and carried Nicole in his arms.

Everyone was watching, so Nicole lowered her head in embarrassment. She murmured, "You don't have to do this. I wasn't hurt, so I can walk on my own."

Even though she was married to Colton, she still felt embarrassed to have their affection displayed in public.

Colton lowered his head to look at her, his voice softening. "I won't have them dirtying your feet."

With that, he left with Nicole in his arms.

When Colton and Nicole were gone, Harrison finally let out a huge sigh of relief. He dropped to the floor and panted heavily, sweat already gushing out of his pores. The incident just now was too terrifying, and the vicious glare from Colton looked like it would kill him at any moment.

"Darling… Darling, what do we do now?" The plump woman was terrified as she asked Harrison in a shaky voice.

Harrison turned to look at the plump woman and asked, "Why did you come here today?"

The plump woman took out her phone and passed it to him. "Someone called me here."

Harrison had been in the business field for so long that he could see through these tricks in an instant. Someone did it on purpose!

He lowered his head to look at the number on the phone. The call was made when he brought Nicole upstairs!

He gripped the phone tightly. Just seeing the plump woman made him extremely mad. He began shouting, "You stupid woman! You didn't even know you were being used! Now that we've offended the Gardners, we definitely won't make it out alive!"

The plump woman was panicking as well, and anxiety filled her eyes as she hastily asked, "Then what do we do?"

"What else can we do? We can only wait for bankruptcy and days of poverty." With that, Harrison left without even looking back.

Only then did the plump woman realize the grave mistake she had committed. She ran after him with the phone in her hand, but as soon as she went out, someone gave her a call.

"Mrs. Riggs, bad news! All our property is confiscated. They said that it's because the company went bankrupt, and even the hotel isn't ours anymore."

The person on the other end of the line sounded panicky.
