In that instant, her heart was filled with immense vexation, and her reddened eyes overflowed with
malevolence. It must be that b*tch Nicole! It must be her! She must have nned all this! Hell, she
almost dragged me into the mud! Queenie trembled with rage, yet she couldn’t bring herself to say a
word.
Meanwhile, seeing as the drama was over, the reporters, craving for more, hurriedly interrogated.
“Miss Anderson, as President Gardner’s fiancée, why are you here? Is there a secret rtionship
between you and Mr. Mann?”
“Yeah, Miss Anderson. Spending time in a room with a man alone and with your clothes undone. Have
you broken up with President Gardner, or are you two-timing?”
Those insensitive remarks from the reporters felt like needles piercing through her skin. Despite her
anger, she bit her lips and retained her sorrowful facade. She looked at the reporters with a face that
screamed of pity. ordingly, she raised her hand to wipe off her tears and spoke up as if she was a
victim, stammering, “I don’t know either. I-I was drugged and brought here… And when I came to,
things had already happened… Wah…” After voicing her statement, she lowered her head and
whimpered in her mother’s arms, all while acting like an innocent, clueless child.
As the reporters were about to ask more headlining questions, they were interrupted by Colton. “That is
all for today. We’re all here for the birthday party. I don’t think you’d want to look into such an irrelevant
matter,” he said with his spine-chilling voice. As his piercing gaze swept across the reporters, every one
of them was utterly spooked.
However, if such news were to get out, the society would surely be outraged. Therefore, despite
Colton’s words, the reporters were reluctant to give up as they wordlessly clutched their cameras.
Staring at them, Colton, standing up straight, continued, “Whatever it is that you recorded today stays
here.” Right as he finished his sentence, numerous bodyguards appeared and surrounded the
reporters.
Intimidated, the reporters became nervous, but one of them mustered up the courage to question
Colton, “So are you going to snatch them away from us, President Gardner? Right in the open?”
Hearing that, Colton revealed condescension on his face as he shot him a piercing gaze, countering,
“Do you think they’d have the chance to reach the mass?”
Upon those words, the crowd was reminded that Gardner Corporation focused their business in
network technology. Even if they didn’t surrender their gadgets, they most likely wouldn’t be able to
publish the contents. Besides, most of the mediapanies were affiliated with Gardner Corporation,
and if the reporters were to upset the Gardner Family, things wouldn’t end well for their respective
companies. Thereupon, the reporters who realized this turned in their recording tapes to the
bodyguards. Gradually, the rest followed suit.
Gardner Corporation was so influential in the country that its presence alone resembled a monarch,
while the rtively small mediapanies were as puny as an ant, and anyone who dared to go up
against Gardner Corporation would be stepped on, like an ant.
Seeing as the reporters had surrendered their recording tapes, Colton stopped bothering them and
turned around to leave.
On the other hand, watching as Colton showed up and left without showing any affection to her,
Queenie hopelessly sat on the ground and bitterly cried in Lydia’s arms.
Followingly, the reporters followed Colton out.
With the crowd dismissed, Queenie started cursing. “Mom. I’m sure… I’m sure it’s the doing of that
b*tch Nicole!”
At her daughter’s wailing, Lydia, too, felt pained. She initially thought they would be able to bring Nicole
down this time and seal her within helplessness. Out of her expectation, Nicole fired back and set her
daughter up. She held Queenie as she gently patted her back, clenching her teeth. “Don’t worry,
Queenie. I’ll never forgive her! And I’ll make sure that she wishes she was dead!”
