Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 701

The two were still engaged in conversation when all of a sudden, Colton's phone began to ring. He gave the screen a quick glance and saw that the call was coming from a friend who worked at the police station. Curious, he answered the phone.

"Mr. Gardner, we have received a report on Nicole Anderson and Gardner Corporation's indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Since we have no definite evidence yet, someone will come to your house and notify you about it," the man said.

Indiscriminate killing? This is getting even more ridiculous as time goes on!

"What happened?"

The man explained, "Norman Clancy was previously detained in the country due to Gardner Corporation, but he died in prison for no justifiable reason. Some speculated that Gardner Corporation conspired with Nicole, and Norman's wife and children were murdered because they had kidnapped Nicole's son, so Gardner Corporation should also be considered a suspect in this case."

"Who is the informant?" Colton lowered his voice and questioned. Who was that bold person who dared to drag Gardner Corporation down?

"Norman's apprentice, Noah Bennett."

"Okay. I got it." Colton hung up the phone directly after getting the information he needed.

Noticing something wrong with his expression, Nicole raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

He put down his phone and looked at her. It seemed that things were not going to be easy this time.

"Norman's apprentice, Noah Bennett, reported that Gardner Corporation is an accomplice for murdering the four members of the Clancy Family together with you."

Noah Bennett? Hearing that name, she couldn't help furrowing her brows.

He had been Norman's apprentice before she became White's apprentice. Noah was a rigid person who acted methodically, or in other words, he was stubborn. If it was an ordinary person, they would only report her alone at most, but Noah was not afraid of power and status, so he didn't care about offending Gardner Corporation. Taking the chance, he reported them altogether.

Nicole found it quite amusing. She couldn't believe what a hard headed man Noah was. If Colton was bossy, she was afraid that Noah would live a hard life from now on.

"Noah is headstrong. He probably went to the police station because of the comments on the Internet and the instigation of others." She further explained that she didn't see him very often. She only met him while she was in the hospital, and they only exchanged greetings because they were not close.

Colton didn't bother to care. If someone dared to accuse him of something he didn't do, he would make that person pay the price!

"Be prepared. The police will come shortly, not to file the case, but to inform us about the situation," Colton informed her.

Nicole nodded and went to get ready. After all, she was on the cusp of a storm, and if she was taken to the police station, many eyes would be drawn to her. Once she was ready to head out, she noticed two uniformed men standing in the house.
