Chapter 1320 Collaboration

When Roxanna saw the distracted look on Colton's face, she knew that he was likely thinking about Nicole. Pity this

couple. They are forced to live apart, unable to love each other.

"Just now, Ryan approached me and told me about Nicole being planted with the supreme voodoo bug. This was a

joint effort between him and Evelyn. She did it because of me, and he did it to make me lower my guard and find

vulnerabilities in my company."

The latter part of Colton's statement regarding Ryan's motives mainly was speculation, stemming from a time when

he was at his lowest, and the company was under relentless attack. He reflected on how he persevered through

those trying times, preventing Ryan's schemes from succeeding.

Though the memories sent shivers down his spine, he continued, "I suspect he will continue to attack my company,

searching for vulnerabilities to weaken me. You're probably wondering why he still possesses such strength, even

though the Yael Family is no longer in power, right?" As Colton spoke, he noticed doubt flicker across Roxanna's

face, so he addressed the potential question she might have.

She was momentarily taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, I'm curious. One would expect Ryan to lay low following the

fall of the Yael Family."

Seeing Roxanna's earnest, analytical expression, Colton felt relieved for Nicole.

"It's because he has someone behind him. There's a figure supporting the shady dealings the Yael Family was

involved in. This person has been in cahoots with them and possesses formidable and unpredictable power. To this

day, I still haven't figured out the person's identity, and that's what I want to discuss with you," he carefully

explained to her, knowing that Nicole was already aware of all this. If Roxanna has any remaining doubts, Nicole will

fill her in, but I'm unsure whether Roxanna will help me contact her.

Roxanna nodded at this point, signaling her comprehension and encouraging him to continue.

"After this, I will pretend to learn the truth and go abroad to find Nicole, but my sole purpose is to uncover the

person behind Ryan. I'll have trusted individuals oversee my company. If anyone tries to pry for information, I hope

you can help keep it confidential."

"Okay," Roxanna agreed, albeit reluctantly.

"Also, I can't deal with Evelyn right now because she still has a purpose, just like Ryan." Colton paused briefly before

continuing, his words deliberate. "Could you help me contact Nicole? I want to hear her voice."

In the meantime, Roxanna froze at his request, gazing at the man who had once dominated the corporate world

and now stood humbly before her. Sympathy welled up momentarily, yet her thoughts shifted to Nicole's enduring

suffering, leaving her unsure how to respond. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gardner. I comprehend your situation and my role in it.

However, regarding the remainder of your request, I may find it challenging to comply."



As expected. Colton nodded with a sense of resignation, conjuring a faint, wistful smile.

Witnessing the slightly downcast figure turning to depart, her heart swelled with compassion. Yet, her allegiance lay

firmly with Nicole, necessitating that she prioritize Nicole's well-being in every decision.

With this resolve, Roxanna retrieved her phone and dialed Nicole's number, bridging the gap across the miles.

Luckily, I miss Nicole quite a lot, too. Otherwise, I don't know how to find a reason to talk to her. Suddenly, she

recalled Nicole's instruction before her departure, emphasizing texts over calls. "Ah, well," she sighed helplessly. I

miss her voice too. Let me hear your voice, Nicole. I'll cherish the moment. With anticipation, she dialed the

number, awaiting the connection. In her mind, she silently repeated, Please pick up, Nicole. Your dear Roxanna is

calling you.
