Chapter 1347 Snitching
Colton knitted his brows, and the atmosphere between them turned heavy in an instant. "Just do what I
say, or I''ll send you back home," he replied in an icy voice. This wasn''t a negotiation, but an order.
Sensing the underlying anger in his words, Wendy quickly promised, "Okay, I got it. I won''t go
anywhere." Well, I can get in touch with Nicole through a certain app, so it''s not like we have to meet in
person to pass on the clues. At the thought of this, she began feeling pleased with herself. After all, this
secret was shared only between her and Nicole. It wasn''t her fault that Colton hardly ever allowed them
to spend extended periods of time together as if she were some kind of man-eating monster.
Colton sensed a mysterious gaze fixed upon him, and when he looked over, he saw her grinning slyly.
"Why are you grinning at me like that?" he asked with a slight frown.
Only then did Wendy snap out of her thoughts. Seeing his disgusted expression, she pouted her lips in
displeasure, muttering, "Can''t I even smile at you? What a meanie!"
Colton heard every word she muttered, but he didn''t have time to dwell on what she meant. He stood
up, preparing to leave.
His movements were quite exaggerated, and Wendy was keeping a close eye on his every move. All of
a sudden, she recalled the task Nicole had given her. Immediately, she stopped him by grabbing his
arm, asking, "Hold on a second, Colton! Didn''t you say you were supposed to head to Monterey before
we got on the ne? When are we going to make that trip?"
At hearing this, Colton turned back and stared at her darkly without saying a word.
Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Wendy panicked deep down. "W-What''s wrong?"
she said, stumbling over her words. Then, she added, "I''m just worried about you. I mean, I saw that
look on your face while we were on the ne."
Colton shook his head. "Mm-mm, we''re staying here. Everything''s fine, so don''t worry. If you want to go
somewhere, just let me know. We''ll go together," he said before leaving Wendy''s ce right away. I
probably got it wrong. Wendy''s all grown up now, so it''s normal for her to show concern for others. And
besides, why would that woman get her to care about me? If she had news of that woman, she
wouldn''t have held back for so long without showing any sign of it either.
Wendy watched him leave without ever taking her eyes off him. "Phew! I guess I made it through that
one." Breathing a sigh of relief, she slumped onto the sofa and looked at her phone on the table. Just
then, she seemed to hit upon something and quickly picked up the phone. Gotta tell Nicole about
Colton''s strange behavior today. Perhaps she''ll figure something out.
Meanwhile, at a certain meat fondue restaurant…
"This feels so much better. The other day''s dinner with Mr. Hofstead was a real nightmare," said Chloe.
For the first time, she was so rxed in front of Nicole that even Roxanna''s catchphrase slipped out of
her mouth so effortlessly.
Nicole nodded in agreement with herment. Indeed, dining with that Kendrick guy required them to
be on their best behavior the whole time, so they were never able to rx. Although the food there was
delicious, the formalities were a maze to navigate. A meat fondue would be more inexpensive with no
need to worry about appearances.
Beep! Just then, the phone on the table rang and vibrated simultaneously.
Nicole nced down at it. Seeing that it was a message from Wendy, she instantly put down her
cutlery and picked up her phone, eager to read the message Wendy had sent her. Whatever the
message was about, it had to be rted to Colton, so she wanted to know the details as soon as
possible.

Watching her anxious demeanor, Chloe figured out at once that it must be a message from Wendy.
After all, who else''s messages could get Nicole so worked up? No one else in the world could do so, I
guess. After shaking her head in resignation, she continued eating with her head down.
