Chapter 1348 Suspicion
The message from Wendy read, ''Nicole, Colton''s ditching the trip to Monterey. He''s staying here and
won''t let me go out. If I want to go somewhere, I must go with him, and he won''t let me go anywhere
else. I won''t be able to see you anymore.''
Nicole ignored thest part of the message while analyzing the first part of it with a serious
countenance. If he''s staying here, it means he can''t easily change locations because the enemy is
watching him closely. It wouldn''t be difficult to shift the work from there to here; in fact, it''d be easier
than throwing dust in the eyes of those spies. But why won''t he let Wendy go out?
Seeing Nicole''s distracted demeanor, Chloe knew that she wouldn''t focus on eating for a while. She
quickly piled up some food on Nicole''s te so that she could eat themter. "Nicole, will you just take
your mind off him for once? You''ve got to eat."
Wait, something must be wrong here. This leaves only one possibility. Nicole''s expression suddenly
turned fearful. This would mean that the enemy has obtained Wendy''s personal information. If they''re
driven to desperation, they might abduct her to ckmail Colton. Her brow furrowed at this realization.
If that''s the case, they''ve perfectly demonstrated what it means to be ruthless.
When she saw that Nicole didn''t seem right, Chloe, being sharp as she was, instantly understood the
importance of the situation. "Nicole, did something happen?"
Nicole shook her head. "It''s alright. For now, there''s no immediate danger as long as we handle things
properly."
She understood Colton''s reasons for doing this. The enemy behind the scenes might have no intention
of harming Wendy at the moment, so it''s safer for her to stay abroad. However, if Wendy were to be
sent back home, Ryan surely wouldn''t let her off easily. As for the rest of the Gardner Family, Colton
needn''t worry about them. Ryan''s main focus is on seizing thepany, so he would channel all his
energy into finding vulnerabilities within it.
After reaching this conclusion, she entered a few words on her phone and ced it aside before
starting to eat. "Let''s keep eating."
However, it was apparent that she was no longer as rxed as she had been at first.
Chloe detected the gravity in her expression. Unable to do much else, she kept piling food onto
Nicole''s te, hoping to get her to eat more.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said, "Nicole, let''s make the arrangements for the medical
base as soon as possible. Also, I''ve coordinated with Roxanna today, and some of the researchers will
arrive tomorrow." Perhaps talking about the medical base is the only way to put her mind at ease now.
Just as she expected, Nicole''s expression visibly brightened when she heard about the medical base.
She looked up at Chloe happily, saying, "After they arrive, let them rest for a day and get them to start
working the next day. We''ve got to hurry."
"Okay," replied Chloe with a serious nod, her hand busily picking up food for Nicole.
Nicole didn''t seem to notice this, though. She was busy digging into her food,pletely oblivious to
the fact that Chloe was constantly adding food to her te. In her mind, she thought she had picked up
those dishes on her own.

"It''s a relief that we''ve got technical support for our facility, so things aren''t so difficult at the beginning,"
she said.
Thinking of this, she felt quite relieved. Despite losing a lot of resources to somebody''s greed earlier,
the strategic decisions paid off in theter stages, allowing them to recoup a lot of money. And besides,
they had made significant breakthroughs in technology, and things were starting to look up.
"That''s right, Nicole. You''ve got to eat more. Just leave Colton to his younger sister. She seems like an
oblivious youngdy, but she''s surprisingly resilient, actually," Chloe immediately responded before
mentioning Colton. She knew that the present Colton was no longer a taboo like before.
Nicole had already opened up to them, and this made all of them very happy.
