Evelyn had been waiting for Colton to return. She had prepared all sorts of excuses, such as Ryan had threatened her. If she didn't do as he said, he would harm both her and Colton's child.

For this reason, she was very frightened. She had no choice but to help Ryan commit acts that harmed Nicole.

This was the only way to prevent Colton from becoming violent toward her.

"Mrs. Gardner, are you still waiting for Mr. Gardner today?" A maid, who had noticed Evelyn standing at the door waiting for Colton pitifully every day, asked curiously. The maid had learned about the situation just today.

A few days ago, they noticed the bruises on her face. Since they were not live-in maids and only worked from 9.00AM to 5.00PM, they never stayed overnight at the villa. They would prepare dinner for their employers before going home. That was why they didn't know how Evelyn sustained those injuries. Some guessed it might have been Colton.

However, how could someone like Colton, who was known to be tender and caring toward his wife, be a domestic abuser? Nevertheless, there were always secrets in wealthy families. Who knew what was really going on?

"Why? Do you have some information?" Evelyn looked at the maid in surprise. She knew that the maids were more informed than she was about Colton's whereabouts. Indeed, she got all of Colton's news from the maids, but in the current situation, she found it understandable.

"Yes. It's said that Mr. Gardner has gone abroad. They said he's going to..." The maid paused here and did not continue her sentence.

Evelyn frowned upon hearing this. The maid's half-spoken words made her uncomfortable, and she hurriedly asked, "Please continue. Why is he going abroad?"

She was eager to know all about Colton's current situation. Although he had promised to return that night to hear her explanation, he had unexpectedly returned to the Gardner Residence instead.

She had gone to the Gardner Residence, but she was not welcomed there. She didn't even manage to see Colton before she had to return.

Now, he was suddenly going abroad. She couldn't understand why he hadn't informed her about such a significant matter.


"He's going abroad to find Miss Anderson," the maid whispered.

These maids had only joined the household later, so they only knew about Colton's past relationship from the news. They knew that Colton had treated Nicole very well and Evelyn was said to be a third party who had entered the picture using her child.

However, these were all rumors, and these maids didn't usually indulge in gossiping about such matters privately. They didn't have a clear understanding of the details.

"What? What did you say? Say it again. Colton is going abroad to find who?" Upon hearing Nicole's name, Evelyn suddenly grabbed the maid's hand and asked in agitation.
