Chapter 1265 A New Encounter

Evelyn smirked as she went forward to hug Colton's arm, seemingly in a better mood. "Colton, we've been walking

for so long. You must be tired, so why don't we return home to rest?"

However, Colton glanced at her hand on his arm disdainfully and shook it off, coldly rejecting her. He said, "I've

called a driver to come and get you. He'll be here soon. You don't have to care about me, nor you do have the right

to."

Evelyn's ankles were worn out from walking for an extensive period in her high heels, and every step she took

made her break out in a cold sweat. Moreover, with Colton being a powerful man, his strong push made Evelyn lose

her balance and fall onto the cold concrete floor.

She saw the man quicken his pace, and he soon disappeared from her sight without showing her any pity. "Why

can't it be me? I love you more than Nicole does, but you won't even spare me a glance."

After returning to her senses, she realized her face was already wet with tears. She never stopped believing that

Colton loved her, but everything happening now forced her to reconsider her beliefs.

"No, I am not wrong!" Evelyn's originally reddened eyes became even redder, and it looked terrifying. She looked to

be very determined to achieve her goal.

Once Colton left Evelyn alone, he walked aimlessly forward. Even the bright neon lights on the road did not seem to

brighten the road ahead.

"Hey, handsome, you alone?" The pungent smell of perfume struck his nose, followed by a sultry voice.

Displeased, Colton glanced at the person before him. It was a woman in a skimpy outfit with a figure so desirable

that the men nearby were whistling at her. However, she did not seem to care about those men as she was

intrigued with the man before her. For some reason, the man standing before her felt extraordinary. Even his

haggard state could not hide his natural attractiveness and temperament.

"How about this? Let's go have some fun. This place opened recently, and I heard the drinks are good." The woman

raised an eyebrow at the mysterious man before her. She was intrigued by everything about him.

Colton was taken aback for a moment, but he smiled sinisterly. "Sure."

His reaction surprised the woman, for she hadn't expected him to agree so readily. Though she believed in her

beauty and figure, she had a feeling the man had seen all sorts of women and would not be easily seduced. She

could not help but wonder if she had misread the man, which made her frown. However, by the time she reacted,

Colton had entered the bar and was mingling with several beautiful women.

A week later, the research center was working as usual. Many of their pharmaceutical agents played major roles

internationally.

"Nicole, you have to take this too. Chloe stayed up for several nights working on this. At the very least, you'll stay

alive for longer." Roxanna pretended to be angry and brought the tonic to Nicole's lips while coquettishly ordering

the latter.

A week ago, Chloe refused to see Nicole leaving them, so she took samples of Nicole's blood and locked herself

inside her laboratory for three consecutive days without having anything to eat or drink. In the end, she finally

found a kind of drug that could temporarily stall Nicole's death, and it was now showing its first results.

Previously, they predicted Nicole would not make it through the week since she had taken specific drugs twice

during that period, which shortened her lifespan. A week later, Nicole was still with them even though her condition

had not improved.

"Roxanna, it's difficult for me to live anyway." Nicole turned her head away, unwilling to take the tonic before her.

She was distressed; she knew how much Chloe and Roxanna had worked on this tonic, and because of that, she

began condemning herself even more. She was on the brink of death, heartbroken to see the two working so hard

to keep her alive.
