    Chapter 496 A Hit


    Snickering, Nicole raised her head at the woman and looked at her with an expression of mockery.


    “Queenie, don’t you think that it’s pathetic to ask another woman about your own man noting


    home?”


    Queenie was displeased with the expression her sister was giving her, but she didn’t let her expression


    betray her as they were still in the Gardner Residence.


    When they were done eating, Nicole didn’t pay any further attention to Queenie and only told Hayden


    to go and spend some time with Benedict before she went to see Anna. Although Anna was recovering,


    she still needed constant care, so Nicole would help check her wounds every night.


    As for Benedict, perhaps because of his age or that his body had grown weary, he would be tired


    very easily. Although he was very fond of Hayden, he couldn’t help but be tired after a brief


    conversation with the child.


    Noticing his fatigue, Hayden decided not to intrude any longer and said, “Great Grandpa, I’ll go back to


    my room now, so you should have some rest. Now that I’m staying here, I’lle and y with you


    tomorrow too.”


    Meanwhile, after Queenie left the Gardner Residence, she went back in by climbing over the wall. Now


    that it was nighttime, there weren’t many people walking around. Since she had been here many times


    now, she was familiar with the ce. Furthermore, she knew the cameras’ blind spots and also the


    probable locations of the Gardner Family’s bodyguards.


    Then, Queenie made her way to Hayden’s room and entered it. After she took a look around, she took


    out a drug vial that Pierre had prepared for her and sprayed it all over the pillow. Initially, she wanted to


    administer the drug during dinner earlier, but Nicole was simply too vignt that she couldn’t find the


    opportunity to do so.


    However, with how heavy-handed she was with the drug now, Hayden would lose his life the moment


    hey his head on the pillow. With a smile so sweet, Queenie immediately left the room after she was


    done dispersing the drug. Fortunately for her, she was still in the early stage of her pregnancy, so it was


    easy for her to move around as she managed to avoid stumbling about.


    After bidding his farewell to Benedict, Hayden returned to his room. Upon opening the door to his room,


    he realized that something was amiss. However, he couldn’t figure out what was wrong even after he


    nced around the room. Frowning, he lightly sniffed the air of the room and felt that someone had


    entered his room.


    Assuming it was just one of the servants who hade to clean up the room, he dropped his guard


    and went to his bed with aptop in his hand. Looking through his recent assignment, he deduced that


    Zachary, who hade to him before with his family matters, was nning to make a move on the


    Yates Family.


    As he knew Zachary’s character well, he knew that thetter’s actions were all for his mother’s sake.


    Perhaps because he was her son, he suspected that his mother liked Colton, even if the former hadn’t


    realized her feelings. In the past, Zachary had courted Nicole but was rejected firmly without any


    hesitations.


    However, a seed of doubt grew in her after a while, not because she liked him that way. It was because


    she was slightly touched by the man after his persistent action.


    However, that was not the case with Colton. Although the time Colton had spent with Nicole was only


    mere months, her attitude was very different toward Colton whenpared with Zachary. Although she


    still rejected the former, her reaction was very honest. For the first time in his life, Hayden was worried


    about his mother.


    Nevertheless, he still decided to help deal with Zachary’s matters. After all, without him back then, his


    mother wouldn’t be who she was today.


    When Hayden was done with his task, he yawned and realized it was already close to midnight. Since


    Nicole had to take care of Anna, she didn’t sleep together with him.


    Just as hey down on his bed, he felt something wrong with his body, so he quickly held his breath,


    trying to get out of bed. However, it was toote for him.


    A bout of dizziness overcame him, and he couldn’t control his body as it trembled furiously. He


    immediately pressed the button on his wristwatch before he fell to the ground. Fortunately, his room


    was carpeted. Otherwise, his fall would have been much more severe.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
