Chapter 1334


    Evelyn had been waiting for Colton to return. She had prepared all sorts of excuses, such as Ryan had


    threatened her. If she didn''t do as he said, he would harm both her and Colton''s child.


    For this reason, she was very frightened. She had no choice but to help Ryanmit acts that harmed


    Nicole.


    This was the only way to prevent Colton from bing violent toward her.


    "Mrs. Gardner, are you still waiting for Mr. Gardner today?" A maid, who had noticed Evelyn standing at


    the door waiting for Colton pitifully every day, asked curiously. The maid had learned about the situation


    just today.


    A few days ago, they noticed the bruises on her face. Since they were not live-in maids and only


    worked from 9.00AM to 5.00PM, they never stayed overnight at the vi. They would prepare dinner for


    their employers before going home. That was why they didn''t know how Evelyn sustained those


    injuries. Some guessed it might have been Colton.


    However, how could someone like Colton, who was known to be tender and caring toward his wife, be


    a domestic abuser? Nevertheless, there were always secrets in wealthy families. Who knew what was


    really going on?


    "Why? Do you have some information?" Evelyn looked at the maid in surprise. She knew that the


    maids were more informed than she was about Colton''s whereabouts. Indeed, she got all of Colton''s


    news from the maids, but in the current situation, she found it understandable.


    "Yes. It''s said that Mr. Gardner has gone abroad. They said he''s going to..." The maid paused here and


    did not continue her sentence.


    Evelyn frowned upon hearing this. The maid''s half-spoken words made her ufortable, and she


    hurriedly asked, "Please continue. Why is he going abroad?"


    She was eager to know all about Colton''s current situation. Although he had promised to return that


    night to hear her exnation, he had unexpectedly returned to the Gardner Residence instead.


    She had gone to the Gardner Residence, but she was not weed there. She didn''t even manage to


    see Colton before she had to return.


    Now, he was suddenly going abroad. She couldn''t understand why he hadn''t informed her about such a


    significant matter.


    "He''s going abroad to find Miss Anderson," the maid whispered.


    These maids had only joined the householdter, so they only knew about Colton''s past rtionship


    from the news. They knew that Colton had treated Nicole very well and Evelyn was said to be a third


    party who had entered the picture using her child.


    However, these were all rumors, and these maids didn''t usually indulge in gossiping about such


    matters privately. They didn''t have a clear understanding of the details.


    "What? What did you say? Say it again. Colton is going abroad to find who?" Upon hearing Nicole''s


    name, Evelyn suddenly grabbed the maid''s hand and asked in agitation.


    She seemed to have turned into a crazed ghost emerging from the depths of the earth. The sudden


    movement startled the maid.


    "Nicole." The maid trembled as she spoke and her whole body was shaking.


    Since they had joined the household, Evelyn had not treated them particrly well or poorly. However,


    her attitude today waspletely different, and this was the first time they had seen her like this.


    "Nicole. It''s her again. Why is it her again?" Evelyn suddenly released the maid and turned around to


    walk up the stairs while muttering to herself. She resembled a deranged spirit in the deste


    wilderness.


    The maid covered her wrist. Evelyn used a lot of strength just now and it left a clear red mark on her


    wrist.


    She stared nkly at the direction Evelyn had left in, still unable to recover from the shock.


    The nearby maid hurriedly walked over and led the frightened maid away. They had never seen such a


    situation before. Everything had happened too quickly for them to react.


    After Evelyn returned to her room, she saw the ointment still ced on the bedside table. She suddenly


    remembered what Colton said to her that day, and tears flowed uncontrobly down her face.


    "It''s all lies. All lies!"

    Bang! The sound of the ointment hitting the ground echoed in the room.
