Chapter 329 Hiring Alice
Queenie felt hurt to see how heartless Colton was. At the start, it was true that Queenie had
approached Colton because of how rich the Gardner Family was.
However, after interacting with him for a while, she realized that she genuinely had feelings for him.
Yet, the man that she had fancied for five years wasn’t even willing to speak to her. At that point,
Queenie felt more determined than ever—she had to seed this time!
A hint of evil shed across her gaze as she thought to herself, Don’t me me for being heartless,
Colton. You were the one who refused to y nice.
She softened her tone of voice as she spoke. “I know that what happened previously was my mistake,
Colton. I know what I did wrong. That’s why I’m here to apologize. I hired Dr. Toth, and he said that he
could promise at least 50% sess in this surgery.”
The same cold and uninterested look stayed on Colton’s face, and he didn’t show any sign of emotion
at all. “The Gardner Family doesn’t need outsiders to meddle with their business.
Leave before I shout at you,” he uttered. Queenie was hurt by his words, but she no longer dared to
linger around after hearing his words. In the end, she gritted her teeth and excused herself.
Anna, on the other hand, sounded rather interested in what Queenie had offered. “Queenie might have
made a mistake, but if there’s really a 50% chance of sess, then I think we could get Pierre toe
over and give it a try.”
Colton knew what Anna was thinking, so he tried tofort her. “Let’s put Pierre aside for now. I’ve
been trying to contact White’s apprentices, and I’m starting to make some progress. Give me until this
month, and we can consider Pierre if I don’t find the apprentices.
A look of disbelief shed across Nicole’s face. How could Pierre promise a 50% sess rate? Since
when did he be so good at this? Judging by the sort of person he is, he’s probably just lying!
However, Nicole couldn’t say much in fear that she might expose herself. “Didn’t you say that you had
things to do? Why are you back so early?”
Anna looked at Colton curiously. She heard that Colton had something to do in the morning, as he had
rushed out of the house. Yet, he was back before it was noon. “I’ve settled things,” Colton answered
dismissively.
The truth was that Wendy had called him to tell him that Nicole came over—that was why he rushed
back from thepany. “Well, you can talk to Nicole for a while.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
I’ll go y with Hayden.” Anna was a thoughtful woman, so she imed to have things to do before
leaving them alone.
Colton’s gazended on Nicole after Anna left. “Did you say that you don’t want to have Sarah as the
ambassador?” he asked after some contemtion.
“Yeah.” Nicole nodded firmly. A slightly amused smirk formed on Colton’s face as he continued to
question her. “Alice Murphy is a famous award-winning actress, so it’s going to exceed our budget if we
hire her. Do you still want her?”
It was Nicole’s turn to smirk this time. “I believe Alice’s identity is a good match for Ann’s standards.”
Colton didn’t seem to have much of an opinion. He simply nodded in agreement. “Fine. Let’s go with
Alice Murphy. I’ll get thew department to settle Sarah’s termination fees.”
“There’s no need for that,” Nicole uttered abruptly.
Colton froze for a moment. He seemed to understand the situation when he saw the confident smile on
Nicole’s face. “Do you have a n of your own?” he asked while narrowing his eyes.
“Thepany won’t have to pay a single cent. Instead, we’ll be able to get Sarah to pay, and this sum
will contribute to the funds needed to hire Alice,” Nicole replied.
Nicole and Sarah never had any conflict in the past, but it was Sarah who had been too condescending
toward Nicole. Sarah had made things tense between both of them, so Nicole figured that she would
teach Sarah a lesson.
When Colton saw how confident Nicole looked, he no longer felt concerned or worried about the
situation. Nicole probably has her own way of settling this.
