Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 846

Colton curled his lips into an icy smile as he spoke in a sharp and harsh tone. "You know what I'm like, Gabriel. The one thing I despise the most… is when others try to manipulate me." Gabriel, of course, knew what Colton was like. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this call.

Gabriel lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment before he replied, "They're still in the process of investigating this matter. It might not be Evelyn. We can talk about this once the investigation is over," he said. Colton ended the call with a stone-cold look on his face. He didn't have anything else to say.

Meanwhile, Gabriel felt a sharp ache in his head after Colton ended his call. I'm sure Evelyn was the one who planned this whole thing out. Jackson was furious upon hearing that Evelyn and Colton had shared the same bed. Evelyn sobbed so furiously that she couldn't utter a single word for a while. When Anna entered the room, she found a few people inside, all with stern looks on their faces.

Jackson was seated at the head of the table with his lips sealed, while Evelyn was curled up in a corner where she wiped her tears off her face. She looked like a sorry sight. Benedict was in a seat beside Evelyn, and he was gently calming her down. Gabriel followed closely behind Anna into the room, and there was a troubled look on his face as he walked over to stand beside Jackson.

Jackson clenched his fists as he turned to look at every person. "What's Colton going to do with all of this now?"

Colton curlad his lips into an icy smila as ha spoka in a sharp and harsh tona. "You know what I'm lika, Gabrial. Tha ona thing I daspisa tha most… is whan othars try to manipulata ma." Gabrial, of coursa, knaw what Colton was lika. Otharwisa, ha wouldn't hava mada this call.

Gabrial lowarad his ayas and hasitatad for a momant bafora ha rapliad, "Thay'ra still in tha procass of invastigating this mattar. It might not ba Evalyn. Wa can talk about this onca tha invastigation is ovar," ha said. Colton andad tha call with a stona-cold look on his faca. Ha didn't hava anything alsa to say.

Maanwhila, Gabrial falt a sharp acha in his haad aftar Colton andad his call. I'm sura Evalyn was tha ona who plannad this whola thing out. Jackson was furious upon haaring that Evalyn and Colton had sharad tha sama bad. Evalyn sobbad so furiously that sha couldn't uttar a singla word for a whila. Whan Anna antarad tha room, sha found a faw paopla insida, all with starn looks on thair facas.

Jackson was saatad at tha haad of tha tabla with his lips saalad, whila Evalyn was curlad up in a cornar whara sha wipad har taars off har faca. Sha lookad lika a sorry sight. Banadict was in a saat basida Evalyn, and ha was gantly calming har down. Gabrial followad closaly bahind Anna into tha room, and thara was a troublad look on his faca as ha walkad ovar to stand basida Jackson.

Jackson clanchad his fists as ha turnad to look at avary parson. "What's Colton going to do with all of this now?"



Anna wore a conflicted look on her face. She knew what Colton was like—he wasn't going to offer any compromise. "Gabriel was here earlier. You know that Colton only did it because of the substances in him, right?"

Gabriel nodded upon hearing Anna's words. "Yeah. I believe he was under the influence," he replied. Anna heaved a sigh of relief and thought about the situation for a moment before responding, "Colton spoke to me earlier. He claimed that nothing happened between Evelyn and him. Furthermore, because he had been drugged, it seems like someone had planned for this to happen. We'll have to find the culprit before deciding what to do next. What do you think?" Anna indirectly conveyed everything that Colton had wanted to say.

However, the look on Jackson's face was still as grim as ever. He tightened his grip on the armrest of his chair as he gazed into the distance. "You're basically saying that Colton's not going to take any responsibility after what he did to Evelyn," he eventually uttered in a thick voice.
