    Chapter 457 Listen Clearly


    Even though Nicole wore high heels today, there was still a slight height difference between them. If


    she wanted to look at Colton, she had to raise her head.


    “I did not get a marriage certificate with Queenie,” Colton said calmly.


    Hearing his words, Nicole furrowed her eyebrows. Just as she was going to tell him that this had


    nothing to do with her, he ced a finger on her lips and traced the outline slowly with his fingertip.


    She had goosebumps from his touch and took a few steps back while touching her lips in disgust. “You


    didn’t even wash your hand before you rubbed my lips. That’s disgusting.”


    Looking at her disgusted look, Colton smiled slightly and did not continue the topic but exined the


    matter about Queenie. “It wasn’t me who got the certificate with her.”


    Nicole gave him a weird look as she wondered what he meant by that.


    Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Colton was in a good mood and exined further, “The person whom


    Queenie married is only a man with the same name as me. He was a gangster and in prison after


    beating his wife severely. After that, his wife filed a divorce, so he was considered single.”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “You’re saying that Queenie had married him?”


    Colton nodded and smiled as he continued, “I gave that man a huge amount of money to change his


    name just for her.”


    After all, Queenie had made such a huge effort for this matter, and he couldn’t disappoint her.


    After hearing his exnation, Nicole felt the need to change her perspective about him as she had


    never realized that he was such a scheming person until now. As for Queenie, her life was practically


    ruined as she was married to an abusive husband.


    “I never knew that you are such a scheming person,” she drawled.


    Coltonnded his eyes on her and retorted, “Did you think that I would be kind to a woman who had


    lied to me for five years and even drugged me multiple times?”


    Realization dawned on Nicole as she would also not let this matter get out of hand if this had happened


    to her. Moreover, this was Colton they were talking about. Then, she lowered her eyes and thought,


    Well, this is Queenie’s business, not mine.


    “Since you had everything done, you don’t need to exin it to me.”


    Hearing her words, Colton suddenly stepped forward and leaned closer. Nicole was going to avoid him


    out of habit, but he held her by the waist and pulled her in, making her shiver slightly as the familiar


    scent surrounded her.


    He leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, “But if I don’t exin it to you, I’m afraid that you will


    be jealous.”


    His hot breath brushed against Nicole’s ear, making her ear turn crimson red. She leaned back and


    tried to struggle out of Colton’s embrace, but his arms were like iron mping onto her tightly.


    “Men and women should keep their distance, President Gardner. Don’t you dare cross the line!” Nicole


    gritted her teeth and reminded him, but Colton was always a brash person. Not only did he ignore her


    words, he even held her tighter.


    “There’s no need for that; we are in love with each other. Besides, we can bond if we are closer, right?”


    Damn this man! Nicole cursed inwardly and took a deep breath as she suppressed the urge to say it


    aloud. Afterward, she softened her voice and said, “Why don’t you let go first? We can talk after we


    keep our distance away from each other.”


    Chuckling, Colton leaned closer to her and kissed her on the cheek before he stated, “I think this is


    better. This way, you can hear what I’m saying even clearer.”
