Chapter 31 Forced to Talk
Tony escorted Nicole to the office door and lingered outside without going in. With a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
Nicole thanked him before entering.
Upon opening the door, she saw Colton sitting at his desk at a glance.
As usual, Colton was sitting upright at his desk with his back ramrod straight. The black suit that he donned made him seem calm and grounded.
But unlike last time, there were four unfamiliar men kneeling on the floor in front of the desk right now.
Colton looked up when he heard the door open. When he saw that it was Nicole, his face softened, and he stood up, striding over.
“Miss Lisa.” His low voice was mellow and carried a hint of respect as he spoke, making Nicole feel like he was a completely different person compared to the last time she was here.
Colton’s upright figure was a head taller than her as he stood in front of her. When she looked up, her gaze fell on the dark circles underneath his eyes.
Although his face was full of energy now, it was not difficult to see the hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
“President Gardner, you didn’t have to do this.” Nicole nodded slightly, feeling a little apologetic.
“It’s not a big deal, Miss Lisa. If you have any questions, just ask them directly.” Colton was always gentle to her, and each of his actions were conducted flawlessly.
Nicole looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, her eyes narrowed. Without beating around the bush, she demanded, “Who sent you to kidnap my son?”
They shrank together without saying a word.
Nicole stood in front of them, looking condescendingly down at them, and continued in a cold tone, “F&M Apparel’s legal department can easily land you in jail for kidnapping underage children.”
The leader of the thugs finally spoke up, insisting, “We didn’t kidnap him. We were just ordered by the child’s grandfather to send him over to meet him. Don’t just accuse us blindly.”
Nicole’s eyes darkened. It seemed that this was indeed the Anderson Family’s doing.
“Answer me, was it Queenie’s instructions?” Nicole questioned.
William obviously didn’t know that Nicole had a son. Only Queenie knew that. If the Anderson Family did this, Queenie must have been behind it.
However, no matter what she asked the thugs, they only insisted that they were taking her son to see his grandfather. As for the house’s messy state, they weren’t sure what had happened, giving excuses like perhaps after they had left with her son, a robber had entered.
Nicole was trembling with anger. They refused to admit it even when threatened with death.
“Miss Anderson, you are all family. If there is a conflict within your family, you can’t take out your anger on us.”
Seeing that Nicole couldn’t get anything out of them, Colton took a step forward. His leg, clad in a pair of neat trousers, rose and landed directly on the man’s face.
He didn’t hold back on his kick at all. As a result, the man’s face immediately turned red, and a tooth popped out of his mouth.
“Yes or no?” Colton’s eyes were completely cold, and although he didn’t threaten them out loud, the meaning behind his words were very obvious.
The man’s eyes blazed with fury, but just as he was about to retort, Colton mercilessly kicked him heavily in the chest again.
“Yes! Yes!” Seeing blood in his mouth and Colton’s cruel behavior, the man was afraid that if he didn’t tell the truth, he would die here.
After Colton got his answer, he retracted his feet. When he looked at Nicole, the cruel expression on his face had already disappeared.
“Miss Lisa, your son should be in the Anderson Residence,” Colton said.
Nicole nodded, not concealing it. “I’ve already retrieved him from the Anderson Family. This time, I came here to find out who the mastermind behind the scenes is.”
Colton glanced faintly at the people on the ground before taking out a napkin from the table and throwing it on the ground. He used it to rub against his shoes, as if he disliked the fact that his shoes had just kicked the man in the face.
“These thugs hang out with Joseph all year round. You can look into that, Miss Lisa.”
Nicole thanked him. “All right, I see. Thanks for the info.”
It seems that this incident was planned by Queenie and Joseph. Nicole clenched her fists. They’ll definitely pay for what they did!
