Chapter 24 Holding Him
“But why?” Queenie questioned, baffled.
“The connections over at F&M Apparel are ratherplicated, so that trick of yours will eventually be
seen through,” William replied.
“No way! The men I recruited were all insignificant thugs!” A hint of malice shed across Queenie’s
eyes. She abhorred Nicole and her righteous look. She couldn’t work out how she could turn from a
miserable nobody to a mighty figure, and she was annoyed by that.
“Now that F&M Apparel is working with Gardner Corporation, she won’t just receive help from her
company, but also from Gardner Corporation. Do you think your lowlyckeys can hide it for long? It’s
only a matter of time until Nicole traces it back to you, and by then, not only you, but the entire
Andersons will be doomed!” With his perturbed eyes, he stared forward, and looking at his ipetent
daughter just made him even angrier. If he had known how talented Nicole was, he wouldn’t have
driven her away. Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, huh? It would be life-changing if we get to work with
her.
As Queenie listened to her father, she grew slightly nervous. Biting her lips, she timidly inquired, “Then,
what can we do now?”

“Have your men send the child over at once, and I’ll handle the rest. Just pretend as if you know
nothing.” William extended his hand and massaged his forehead.
Hearing his words, Lydia hesitantly uttered, “But if President Gardner were to know what Queenie
did…”
“Another fool, aren’t you? Nicole’s the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel. As long as we please her, we
wouldn’t even need the Gardners to turn our lives around,” he sternly imed. He was thoroughly
aware of the benefits his family could use.
At her father’s words, Queenie clenched her fists even tighter and panted as she was boiling with fury.
What gives?! Dad’s idea is to please Nicole?!
Nicole had been gone for five years, and during those five years, Queenie had shamelessly gratified
Colton for the sake of getting her family’s life back on the right track. But right now, William was highly
astonished, not by “Lisa,” but by Nicole, and he even hit her for Nicole’s sake.
Watching as Queenie was still standing idly, he loudly shouted, “Well, what are you waiting for? Go
bring my grandson back!” After getting to know that Nicole was, in fact, Lisa, William’s attitude had
undergone a drastic change, and he even referred to Hayden as his grandson.
Although Queenie was still irate, she could only endure it and grit her teeth as she made the call.
Meanwhile, Nicole, like a lunatic, was still searching for her son. As it hadn’t been long since her return
to the country, she basically knew no one other than the Andersons as well as Joseph and Colton, so
she couldn’t fathom who would want to abduct her child.
After Colton sent her home, she was all out of clues. And so, she kept on calling her son’s number,
hoping he would pick up, but his phone was still turned off.
“Wah…” She ultimately broke down. As she crouched down on the ground, she forcefully pressed her
face against her knees, agonizingly sniffling and whimpering.
Staring at the woman crouching under the shade of a tree and listening to her sobbing, Colton
strangely grew upset. He then walked to her and slightly lowered his head to look at her. He had seen
many sides of the woman, be it her optimistic or lively side, but it was his first time seeing her so
sorrowful and restless.
He gulped and blinked his inky eyes before squatting down to take a good look at her. “Miss Anderson,
I’ve sent some men to look for him. We’ll receive newstest by tomorrow.” His thickly voice was
somehow reassuring to listen to.
Sniffling, Nicole raised her head with her vision clouded by her tears. Her mind was nothing but
perturbed, and she needed a shoulder to cry on more than anything else now. As she peered at the
man before her, she directly threw herself into his arms.
