Chapter 859

Nicole was well-versed in Hayden's demeanor, so she did not miss a beat and inquired, "Hayden, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Following that, she put down her cutlery and shifted her gaze to the boy.

However, he shook his head in reply. "Nope." After saying that, he lowered his head and began to eat silently.

Nonetheless, she felt there was something seriously wrong with her son. So, she frowned slightly, but she knew she shouldn't press the issue any further since he clearly had no interest in telling. In the end, she did not utter a single word.

Following the meal, Nicole cleaned the table while Hayden returned to his room.

Nicole scratched her chin and noticed that her son's behavior was off. Therefore, she looked for Zachary and asked him, "Do you think Hayden is acting strangely today?"

He chuckled and set down the magazine. Before responding to her, he lowered his eyes and pondered. "It's probably due to the buzz on the Internet."

The buzz on the Internet? Nicole was suspicious. What could have happened online for Hayden to be upset? After hearing that, she pulled out her phone and searched for it. Even though the news had already been suppressed, she could still find the reason for her son's mood.


'Mrs. Gould's Banquet—the Power Holder from the Gardner Family and Young Miss from the Wrenn Family's Illicit Relationship'

'Colton Gardner and Evelyn Wrenn'

'Colton Gardner and Evelyn Wrenn Naked in Bed'



There were as many truths as there were lies about them on the Internet, but it all boiled down to one thing— Colton and Evelyn's relationship had been exposed.

Evelyn was the first person who came to Nicole's mind as the perpetrator of these rumors.

After all, her affection for Colton has developed into an obsession, and she can likely do anything to win him over exclusively for herself. Nonetheless, such plotting is too risky. If he does not marry her, her name will be dragged through the mud, and it is implausible that she will marry into a respectable family. Anyway, she will go to any length to be with him.

After giving it some thought, Nicole's expression darkened. She finally comprehended why Hayden was not acting like himself that day. Her son, who had always been an Internet enthusiast, must feel depressed after reading that news.

Then, she let out a small sigh and mused, Even if Colton isn't with Evelyn, I can't possibly be with him.

She knew that her son liked Colton, and he wanted their family of three to reunite. However, it was a glaring fact that she and Colton could never be together.

There was a sudden change in her expression, and Nicole tapped twice unconsciously on the screen. She proceeded to scroll down the page based on the keyword she had searched for, and it wasn't long before she came across some latest news.
