    Chapter 334 Gardner Residence


    Without waiting for Whitney to react, Nicole turned and left in a hurry once she finished saying that.


    In the meantime, there were two people sitting in a private room of a high-end cafe.


    These two were none other than Tony and Colton. After ncing carefully at the man who sat by the


    window with his head resting on his hand, Tony retracted his gaze and stared at his phone.


    While staring at his phone, he asked, “President Gardner, Miss Nicole Anderson has called you 3


    times. Are you sure that you’re not going to answer her call?”


    After Tony asked that, he thought, Not only did he not answer his phone, he also prohibited me from


    answering mine.

    Hearing Tony’s question caused Colton to retract his gaze from the window. Then, he looked at the


    screen of the phone he ced on the table with an idle demeanor. Showing a meaningful smile, he


    said decisively, “No, I’m not answering.”


    As Tony looked at Colton’s confident look, he couldn’t help but feel strange. President Colton’s


    behavior is rather odd today. For some unknown reason, he actually instructed me to tell Whitney that


    we’re going to have an important meeting outside of the office. But as his assistant, more specifically,


    his top-notch assistant, how could there be any meetings that I’m not aware of?


    Thinking that I might have missed out on some important orders, I simply let him drag me out of the


    office building, but I didn’t expect that he would directly drag me out only to spend our time sitting in this


    cafe.


    What’s more, we’ve been sitting here for 3 hours or so, and we even drank 3 cups of coffee. Since I


    have no idea what President Gardner has up his sleeves, I can only apany him here in this cafe.


    A curious Tony asked under his breath, “President Gardner, how about you utter something and tell me


    what’s on your mind? Or at least tell me the reason why we’re here in this cafe.”


    At the sound of Tony’s voice, Colton simply nced at him lightly. Nevertheless, he didn’t intend to hide


    from his assistant. “My grandpa is critically ill.”


    Tony nodded upon hearing that. I know about this matter. ording to the doctor, the brain tumor was


    pressing against Old Mr. Benedict’s cranial nerves. Furthermore, taking his age into consideration, the


    sess rate of the surgery is exceptionally low.


    Even after receiving Colton’s answer, Tony was still puzzled. Therefore, he asked again, “But what


    does that have to do with you being here?”


    Giving him a look as if saying that he’s an idiot, Colton then retracted his gaze and said coldly, “Nicole


    is White’s protégé.”


    Akin to being the recipient of a bombshell, Tony was stupefied for a long time before he could slowly


    comprehend the shocking piece of information. Feeling rather inconceivable, his eyes widened as he


    asked, “President Gardner, are you saying that Miss Nicole Anderson is White’s protégé?”


    In truth, simr to Troy’s reaction, Colton didn’t know about this at first. It wasn’t untilter when he


    noticed Nicole and Julia’s close rtionship, Julia’s full knowledge about Benedict’s condition, and


    retrieved a lot of information about it that he faintly realized something was wrong.


    With that in mind, he then determined to get to the bottom of the matter. After investigating for a while,


    he was able to identify some clues. Through the clues he identified, he discovered that Nicole had left


    traces in the hospital where White stayed before. Therefore, he blindly guessed that Nicole was White’s


    protégé.


    “We’ll find out after today.” Colton smiled confidently.


    He already knew that Queenie went to look for Olivia. Knowing Olivia’s temper, he strongly believed


    that she would surely bring Pierre and Queenie over to the Gardner Residence.


    Since Benjamin wasn’t home, Anna alone would not be able to stop Olivia’s hotheadedness. Keeping


    that in mind, Colton knew he had to look for someone to stop Olivia, and that someone was Nicole.


    Therefore, he had already informed Wendy to call Nicole and exin the matter clearly to her if


    something ever happened at home.


    Once Nicole learned about what happened, she woulde to him. When she couldn’t find him, she


    would certainly head to the Gardner Residence.


    Just as Colton had predicted, Nicole was indeed rushing to the Gardner Residence. As soon as she


    entered the door, she heard a burst of a heated argument.


    “Anna! You’re not a child born of the Gardner Family. Are you wishing that Dad would meet his


    deathbed? Let me tell you: the doctor I had invited this time said he has at least 50% confidence that


    he’ll seed in the surgery. Why do you have to stop me?! What kind of vicious intentions do you


    have?!” Oliviashed out at Anna.


    Even though Olivia drove her up the wall, Anna still pulled her and halted her in her tracks. “Colton has


    already gone to seek White’s protégé. Dad’s illness will be saved if he sessfully finds her.”


    After hearing Anna’s words, Pierre chuckled softly, “Mrs. Gardner, you can let me in to check on Old


    Mr. Benedict’s condition first even if you don’t believe in my medical expertise.


    And even if I’m not performing the surgery, I can still give you an analysis of his condition. Frankly


    speaking, White’s protégé may not have medical expertise like mine.”


    Listening to the glib man in front of her, she felt uneasy. In fact, the words that escaped the man’s lips


    earlier alone were enough to let Anna have her guard up against him.
