Chapter 1360 A Favor


    Wendy had the box of meatballs in her hand as she stepped closer to Beryl with a sinister smile on her


    face. Beryl instinctively tightened his bathrobe when he saw the look on the woman''s face. "What do


    you want to do?"


    "I''m sure you know what I want, Beryl. I have a few questions, and you just need to answer me," she


    replied with a smile. The man found himself pressed against the window behind him as Wendy


    continued to speak at a slow pace. "You don''t have to hide from me anymore, Beryl. You know what I''m


    like."


    The man couldn''t help but roll his eyes. This woman must be getting curious again. Well, Colton''s


    actions are pretty conspicuous this time around, so I''m sure this woman must have realized something.


    But this matter… Forget it. It''s no secret, anyway. "Well, it''s not a big deal. The Hofstead Family has a


    son who has been targeting Colton and the Gardner Family because he wants to get revenge. That''s


    it." Beryl let out an exasperated sigh before he pushed Wendy away to slip out from the corner. He let


    out another slow sigh of relief after that.


    Wendy nodded. Her goal had been achieved, so she nced at her surroundings before leaving the


    meatballs on the table. When she looked up and noticed the confusion in Beryl''s eyes, she exined


    herself in a bashful tone. "That''s for your hard work. I''ll leave now." Without giving the man a chance to


    say much, Wendy strode out of the room and shut the door behind her. Beryl took a look at the box of


    meatballs. It obviously looked like leftovers that one couldn''t finish after eating some of it.


    "It''s just my bad luck," Beryl mumbled to himself while shaking his head. He happened to feel rather


    hungry, so he sat down at the table. He didn''t have any disposable gloves in the room, so he ended up


    eating the meatballs with his bare hands. The meatballs weren''t too filling, and they were pretty


    delicious, so it only took him a few minutes to finish all of it.

    Once Wendy achieved her primary goal, she headed back to her room with a pleased look on her face.


    She repeated whatever Beryl had said earlier to herself as she typed the words out on her screen


    before sending the message to Nicole. Just another day of helping Nicole out! Well, I guess my efforts


    didn''t go to waste, since I managed to help Nicole and Colton. I''m not allowed to leave the hotel without


    Colton, anyway. It''s a shame how work and holidays seem to exist together.


    Meanwhile, Nicole couldn''t fall asleep after receiving the news from Wendy. She couldn''t help but


    wonder about the news that had turned Colton''s face so pale earlier in the day. Furthermore, she


    couldn''t get her mind off Kendrick, who seemed to act rather differently toward her. She had a feeling


    that she used to know him, but regardless of how much she tried to dig into the depths of her


    memories, the man''s face still seemed rather foreign to her.


    After some time, Nicole found herself getting a headache from all the thinking. She ended up walking


    over to the window and opening it to get some fresh air. Ding. It was a notification from her phone. She


    assumed that it was a text from Wendy, so she hastily shut her window before picking up her phone to


    scroll through her notifications. "The Hofsteads? The Gardners?"


    Nicole didn''t know anything about the past. Back then, she was still a young girl who was focused on


    honing her medical skills—she had been well-protected by her master. On top of that, this was a long


    time ago, and she couldn''t recall much from that time. She ended up running an online search for more


    information. The information online wasn''t always urate, but she figured that it would give her some


    clues and a direction to work toward.


    ''The Hofsteads and the Gardners'' fight is like a battle between the gods. The Gardners are a little too


    mean, though. They forced the Hofsteads into bankruptcy. It''s true when they say that the business


    industry is brutal and heartless—all they care about are their benefits.'' Nicole happened to stumble


    upon ament that was supportive of the Hofstead Family and against the Gardners.
