Chapter 1414 Strangely Happy
Nicole could only watch in exasperated amusement as the pair departed before turning her gaze
toward Chloe.
The two women exchanged a knowing smile as Chloe assisted Nicole in her amble toward the
apartment.
Meanwhile, Wendy returned to the hotel, arriving just in time to see Colton waiting for them by the
elevator door.
"Why are you standing here, Colton? Although it''s true that we''ve booked the entire floor, your
presence here could easily lead to misunderstandings."
Wendy looked at her brother with a hint of disdain. She had returned punctually, so why was he waiting
for her with that look on his face?
"Don''t worry about it. I need to discuss something with Beryl. So, stay in your room unless it''s urgent."
Colton shot a nce at Wendy. Even though she appeared contemptuous, he could still tell she was in
high spirits today.
Since the trip had clearly been good for her, she should behave now. After all, the uing days were
fraught with danger.
She would undoubtedly get into trouble if she were sent back to the country without his supervision
right now. The thought of her disappearing to who knows where was something he didn''t even want to
think about.
"Fine."
Honestly, Wendy was not keen on hearing him instruct her to stay in her room yet again.
However, he had shown some consideration today by allowing Beryl to apany her to an outing.
She knew how to appreciate that kindness as she knew that Beryl wouldn''t have been able to take her
out to have some fun without Colton''s approval.
Thus, she obediently retreated to her room. As she stared at the now familiar arrangement in the room,
she felt a pang of regret.
Had she known this would be the oue, she wouldn''t have followed Colton abroad.

Yet, there were advantages to being abroad. At the very least, she had finally discovered the
misunderstanding that urred between Nicole and her brother.
So, it was precisely with this thought in mind that she whisked out her phone and began to text Nicole
discreetly.
Colton nced at Beryl, and the two silently moved to Colton''s room.
The room was as dim as usual, with theputer screen on the desk serving as the only source of
light.
Beryl, who was slightly repulsed by Colton''s living conditions, promptly switched on the light. Then, he
sat by theputer, crossed his legs, and said, "Well, have at it then."
Colton side-eyed Beryl before deciding to ignore hisment. Instead, he began to speak in a solemn
tone. "Kendrick has started to act, but I have discovered some inconsistencies. I suspect he did it
deliberately. After all, how could such a meticulous person leave any loopholes?"
Frankly, even he was astonished by this piece of information as it was unlike Kendrick to leave such
ring mistakes.
"Let me take a look."
Beryl, who had initially been rxed, immediately straightened up, scrutinizing the messages on the
computer screen.
"We shouldy low for now as we''re unsure of his intentions."
While Beryl was engrossed in checking the data on the screen, Colton shared his carefully thought-out
conclusion.
After a while, Beryl was finally done with his reading. So, he pondered for a moment before humming
an affirmative.
Colton nodded in satisfaction since they were in agreement. Then, he gazed at Wendy''s room as if
recalling something before inquiring, "Where did you go today?"
Since she was so cheerful today, it couldn''t have been just a meal.
Of course, this was all just his spection.
"Actually, something interesting did happen today."
Beryl immediately recalled the conversation he overheard from Kendrick''s secretary, Darcy. So, he
eagerly shared what he knew with Colton with a gleam in his eye.
"Do you remember Kendrick''s secretary, Darcy?"
Colton was slightly surprised by the sudden topic as he looked at Beryl with a baffled expression. How
was he supposed to know who the heck Kendrick''s secretary was?
He had never met her. Besides, he had only encountered Kendrick twice, so how could he recognize
his secretary?
