Chapter 253

Startled, Lydia opened her eyes wide as she raised her voice. "What did you say?! Nicole?"

"Exactly!" Queenie cried with her hands balled up into fists. If it wasn't for Nicole, she would probably have just woken up in Colton's bed now.

"You are saying that Colton was drugged and taken away by Nicole?"

Lydia couldn't believe her ears. It sent a chill throughout her body to imagine what consequences awaited them if something were to happen between Nicole and Colton.

"Yes! I almost did it, but Nicole popped out of nowhere and forcibly took him away!"

That tenacious little b*tch! Why do I see her everywhere I go?! And she is always sabotaging my plans!

"Queenie, we can't sit back and wait. President Gardner would never let you off the hook if he knew that you were the one who drugged him," Lydia muttered nervously.

Queenie naturally understood her mother's point. That was why she didn't tell the truth when she was questioned by Colton.

"Mom, what is important now is that Colton was drugged and taken away by Nicole!"

Lydia gritted her teeth when she heard that, as she had thought of this as well. She then grumbled, "Let's put this matter aside for now. It is most crucial that you don't admit that you were the one who drugged him!"

Queenie nodded wordlessly in response. She already knew that this was what she had to do.

"President Gardner can't do anything to you so long as you don't admit it," Lydia comforted her.
