Chapter 1362 The Actual Reason


    Kendrick fell deep into thought as he gazed at the night view outside his window. Ryan had told him


    that Colton was there to look for Nicole. If that''s the case, then why didn''t he show any response when


    seeing Nicole today? The same question bothered Kendrick throughout the night, and he simply


    couldn''t make sense of it. He was thinking about this even while he was at the gathering earlier.


    Colton was an extremely powerful enemy to have—Kendrick was much more terrified of Colton than he


    was of Benjamin. I can''t allow any of this to be exposed. I have to get Ryan to speed up his work.


    Perhaps Colton is only using Nicole as an excuse to visit Florend, and perhaps his actual reason is to


    attack me, Kendrick thought to himself. But… If he doesn''t go to Monterey, then there wouldn''t be


    anyone to watch over thepanies in the country. There''d be an easy target over at Monterey.


    Kendrick curled his lips into a smirk at that thought. Perhaps this isn''t all bad. I can use myself as bait,


    and I can get Colton to be hooked on me. Right then, Kendrick heard his phone ringing. His gaze


    darkened when he saw his phone screen shing beside him. It was a call from Ryan. Ever since


    Colton left the country, Kendrick provided Ryan with his actual contact number so that Ryan could


    contact him easily.


    However, Ryan wasn''t as simple of a man as he had thought. Ryan really thinks that I don''t know about


    all his subtle gestures back in the country, huh? Without much hesitation, Kendrick picked up his


    phone. "What is it?"


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    "Things are nearly ready here. I bought some small portions of the Gardner Family''s shares from


    others, and we''re considered shareholders now. However, I bought it under someone else''s name, so


    the Gardners don''t know that I''m the shareholder now." Ryan spoke in a rather haughty tone as if he


    was trying to show off to Kendrick.


    Kendrick''s expression darkened upon hearing the man''s words. Aren''t things going a little too


    smoothly? Regardless, Kendrick didn''t have much of an understanding of the country''s situation, so all


    he could do was make judgments based on Ryan''s words. Fortunately for him, Ryan was a rtively


    competent man, and all it took were a few words to ensure that Ryan would get the job done well.


    "It seems to be going a little too smoothly. Perhaps you should be more alert. If you still don''t face any


    obstacles, you might want to hold things off for a few days to observe the situation first," Kendrick


    ordered in a deep voice. All they had was this one chance. If they didn''t seed this time, it wasn''t just


    Ryan who would fall into the hands of the Gardners—Kendrick would be affected as well.


    "I got it. Don''t worry." Ryan was confident in his abilities to handle this matter. They chatted for a while


    before they ended the call. After that, Kendrick pulled his blinds shut before he walked over to his bed


    to sit down. Nicole''s face popped up in his mind. The most shocking news he received that day was the


    news of Nicole''s pregnancy. Kendrick took some time to recall the past, and he remembered how


    Nicole had been dressed in loose clothing the entire time. She never wore high heels, either. I


    should''ve realized something then. But Kendrick had been too obsessed with the fact that he found


    Nicole, and he had been too excited about his sess in partnering up with her. Who does the child


    belong to?


    Kendrick narrowed his eyes a little. If the child belongs to Colton, then… Knowing Colton, he wouldn''t


    allow Nicole to just fly over to Florend. In other words, the child can''t possibly belong to Colton. If that''s


    the case, then everything seems to make more sense.


    Kendrick was in a good mood after that. He wasn''t bothered by the fact that Nicole had a child. After


    all, regardless of who the child belonged to, Kendrick didn''t mind taking the child as his biological child


    in the future. What mattered the most to Kendrick then was for him to settle things with Louis. Once


    that''s done, there''ll be nothing thates between Nicole and me. I''ll be able to take revenge for the


    Hofsteads then.


    Meanwhile, at Loft Apartments, Chloe walked out of her room to find Nicole hunting for food in the


    fridge. "Nicole?" Chloe was shocked to learn that Nicole had this side to her as well.
