Chapter 1377 Investigation


    "Indeed, Ryan met Evelyn. They had an open conversation in my vi''s living room. Before that, he


    made sure to dismiss the maids from the room." Colton nodded, speaking calmly as he recounted what


    he had observed on the surveince footage.


    Beryl''s brow furrowed; he found Ryan''s approach peculiar. Yet, he maintained a faint smile on his lips


    as he responded, "He must be feeling quite anxious now. You intentionally let your uncle expose the


    w in his scheme that you had discovered. That''s why he''s panicking. Someone like Ryan wouldn''t


    blindly follow Kendrick''s orders, especially when Kendrick is in Florend and can''t directly influence


    matters within the country."


    Colton nodded in agreement. In such situations, Beryl and he seemed to share an unspoken


    understanding; it was a silent connection they both relished.


    "Evelyn is quite clever. However, I can''t quiteprehend why she would reject Ryan''s proposal,"


    Beryl suddenly expressed his confusion, finding it hard to fathom. He had to admit that Ryan was


    skilled at winning people over; every reason he had presented to Evelyn had struck a chord within her


    heart without needing further unnecessary persuasion.


    For a moment, the room fell silent, just as it always did, and neither of them spoke.

    Beryl wasn''t in a hurry to get his question answered. He simply gazed intently at Colton.


    "Didn''t Ryan betray her once before? He told me how he and Evelyn conspired to poison Nicole, which


    forced Nicole and me to divorce." Colton spoke after a prolonged silence. His tone was heavy, as if


    recounting a monumental event.


    Beryl nodded in response, refraining from further inquiry. At this point, he had pieced together enough


    information. He had a general idea of what was happening, and he felt reasonably confident about


    what woulde next.


    "I understand. I have some matters to attend to as well. I''ll take my leave, and if you need anything, feel


    free to message me on the phone," Beryl said, sighing slightly as he looked at Colton, who was still lost


    in thought. He turned and left the room.


    Colton no longer needed Beryl by his side. Thetter couldn''t shake the feeling that there was


    something peculiar about the child growing within Nicole''s womb.


    Ever since Colton had informed him that Nicole''s baby was actually Zachary''s, Beryl had investigated


    Zachary''s movements extensively. He discovered that Zachary''s schedule had been tightly packed


    ever since his return to the country, and there was barely a window of time for him to have been with


    Nicole long enough for her to conceive.


    However, Beryl had chosen not to share this information with Colton. If he did, Colton would


    undoubtedly divert his attention to investigating Zachary. In the meantime, if Ryan seized the


    opportunity tounch an attack on the Gardner Family and teamed up with Kendrick, even Colton''s


    formidable abilities might prove insufficient, potentially resulting in the Gardner Family''s downfall. The


    entire family would vanish from the circles they once dominated.


    As he contemted this, a shadow clouded his expression. There seems to be a need to have a


    conversation with Nicole.


    Back in the country, Roxanna examined the neatly arranged gift boxes before her and nodded with


    satisfaction. Everyone seemed to be good at preparing the gifts.


    "Very well done. Hand me the sess report. I''ll head over to Quill Corporation shortly," Roxanna


    announced, her lips curving slightly into a gentle smile as she nced at the nervous employees


    before her.


    Since Nicole and Chloe''s departure abroad, Roxanna had be stricter with everyone, resulting in a


    workforce that operated under a certain level of fear.


    "Also, regarding the recruitment of new employees, I want you to conduct preliminary screening and


    present the final shortlist to me. I''ll make the ultimate decision on the final list," Roxanna added as the


    group prepared to leave, suddenly remembering another task she needed to address.


    For the research center, this matter was of great importance. They couldn''t afford to bex, as new


    employees were the new blood of thepany. If they found promising talents, they could also be sent


    to the overseas research center, serving as a means to alleviate the burden on Nicole and the others.
