Right Person, Wrong Time

"Nicole, why didn't you tell Colton? All those girlfriends of his were just casual flings, including Evelyn."

Wendy secretly cursed Colton in her heart. He was such a big fool; he didn't even understand his wife's personality.

Nicole shook her head. "When I saw him being intimate with so many women that day, I was actually feeling very uncomfortable. Later, I guessed that he was acting for Ryan and the people behind him to see. I wasn't trying to blame him."

Upon hearing this, Wendy grew somewhat anxious. Why couldn't she understand their actions suddenly?

"Why did it escalate to this point, then?"

"Wendy, you should know that with your brother's personality, if he found out about this, the other party would definitely notice. He doesn't want to put me in danger. Repeatedly doing this would surely expose a flaw."

Nicole smiled and her smile was tinged with happiness.

Wendy could tell that Nicole had a lot of trust in Colton, and at the same time, she also missed that period of time.

"All right. I understand. I'll keep this a secret from Colton. However, he didn't want to come to Florend this time. It seemed like he wanted to go to Monterey, but I don't know why he hasn't changed his flight."

Wendy recalled that Colton had been acting strangely in a certain aspect and voiced her thoughts.

"Why do you say that?"

Nicole's alertness rose when she heard this. If he wasn't genuinely interested in coming here, there must have been something that happened in between.

"At first, he told Mom and Dad that he was going to Florend, which made me really happy. I found out that you were in Florend, but it seemed like he wanted to give the other party a false impression and then go to Monterey. You see, our family has a sizable subsidiary company in Monterey."

Wendy discussed the peculiar aspects of Colton's behavior in detail.

Nicole's expression changed abruptly as she heard this. She slowly lowered her head while pondering the reasons behind this.

She knew some things about the Gardner Corporation, but for Colton to come here, it was likely that he was being tracked.

"Where are you staying?"

Suddenly, Nicole thought of something and looked up at Wendy.

"Right across the street." Wendy pointed to the other side of the wall. The hotel they were staying in was past that wall, outside the cafe, and across the road.

Nicole vaguely remembered seeing a hotel like that. It was likely there was some information indicating that the person they were looking for was nearby, or at the very least, not far away.

"Okay. Got it. I'll keep a close eye on the application from now on. If you have any relevant information, just send it to me."

Nicole nodded and continued to instruct Wendy. She needed to gather some intelligence in order to truly help Colton based on his circumstances.
