Chapter 857

Colton turned around and left after he said that.

Gabriel's frown deepened as he watched Colton's figure fade into the distance. He felt that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. Moreover, he knew that if Colton was a smooth talker, he would have wooed every available woman in the past. So, when he entered the ward and saw Evelyn's elated expression, he could not bear to express his doubts.

After leaving the hospital, Colton went directly to Gardner Corporation instead of returning to the Gardner Residence. As soon as he entered the building, Tony came up to him with a blue file in his hand. While keeping his head bowed, Tony reported, "After the public opinion on the Internet started to circulate, I tried to stop it, but it was futile. The administrative department was unaware of it because the news was released in the middle of the night. However, it was too late by the time they discovered it the following morning."

Suddenly, Colton stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. Lips pursed, he turned to look at Tony and asked, "You mean someone deliberately released the news?"

"Yes." Tony nodded. "It was released around 2.00AM."


"I see," Colton replied in a low voice before he strode to his office.

Tony kept up with him and continued, "What are you planning to do now? I heard that Miss Wrenn tried to end her life because of you. I kept the news from spreading the moment I got it, which is why there's nothing about it on the Internet."

A sneer appeared on Colton's face as he snorted. "What else can I do? I guess I'll marry her, then."

After hearing that, Tony was stunned for a moment, and a flicker of disbelief crossed his eyes. He knew that Colton was not someone who would compromise so easily. Then, he opened his mouth and stammered, "A-Are you still half asleep?"

Colton quirked his eyebrows and scoffed, "She's trying to force me into marriage with a suicide. I'll fulfill her wish."

Toby could tell something was wrong from the look on his face. Then, he took a moment to think before asking, "What about Nicole? Your entire heart was with her a few days ago, no?"

"No one said anything about me not being able to go after the person I like simply because I'm married," Colton calmly replied.
