Chapter 88 Mr Handsome, Shall We Do a DNA Paternity Test Too?
Zachary was still not home the next morning, so Nicole reckoned that he indeed had some serious matters to attend to.
Nicole and Joseph had agreed to meet at the ground floor of Gardner Corporation, so she rushed to the destination with Hayden in tow.
When they arrived at Gardner Corporation, not only Joseph was there but Queenie too.
Nicole brought Hayden out of the car and felt amused to see Queenie. She curled her lips and snickered. “What’s going on? Are you so free that you want to meddle with every affair, or you can’t bear to be apart from Mr. Mann, so you need to tag along wherever he goes?”
Queenie was ruffled by Nicole’s comment. Narrowing her eyes, she snorted, “Cut your nonsense! By the time the DNA paternity test report is out, you’ll be extremely sorry!”
Nicole didn’t care about her and smiled while continuing to stand with no intention of moving.
When Queenie cast a strange glance at her, she blurted, “Aren’t you coming? Don’t tell me you’re scared.”
“I’m waiting for someone,” Nicole hummed.
As soon as she said that, a tall man dressed in casual attire walked out of the building.
Although Colton did not wear a suit today, he actually looked good in whatever outfit that he chose to wear because of his well-defined physique. When he walked closer and noticed that Queenie was around too, he furrowed his brows and darted a side glance at her. “What brings you here?” he asked coldly.
She had not thought that Nicole would actually ask Colton to come. Pressing her lips, Queenie pinched her hand and bit the bullet to explain, “Nicole is my sister after all, so I’m worried about her…”
After saying that, she wore a smile that looked like she was fawning.
Nevertheless, he did not bother to talk to Queenie and retracted his gaze after glancing coldly at her.
In fact, his arrival had disrupted her plan as he was not as gullible as Nicole, in which her mischief could be easily seen through.
As her fists were coated in a layer of perspiration, Queenie looked at Colton and felt her throat becoming dry. “Colton, what brings you here…” she mumbled.
The moment she asked the question, she could feel Colton’s frosty glare, which made her tremble in fear and subconsciously shrink her neck.
Colton looked toward Queenie with eyes that had unconcealable detest. “Miss Nicole Anderson is a VIP of Gardner Corporation. Someone is attempting to set her up, so I naturally have to come and be a witness.”
Queenie’s heart jolted when she heard Colton’s statement. Then, she gulped and quickly attempted to cover her tracks. “You’re right. If Mr. Mann’s DNA paternity test hadn’t shown a positive test, I wouldn’t believe that he is actually Hayden’s father either.”
He remained silent while pressing his lips. He had been well aware of her schemes in the past, but prior to this, he never fancied having a woman around, so he didn’t take steps to deal with her.
However, the situation was different. If Queenie had gotten rid of Nicole, the collaboration between Gardner Apparel and F&M Apparel would be severely affected.
It was an opportunity for a collaboration that Colton had waited for years, so the last thing he wanted was for the plan to be screwed up due to a jealous woman.
“If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it later after the report is out.” Colton looked downward as impatience flashed through his dark eyes.
On the other hand, Joseph was scared speechless when he saw Colton because he had already received a fierce kick from Colton back at the Anderson Residence, which left the man intimidated even until now.
Nicole had directly decided to carry out the test in Town Central Hospital. Since Colton was around, Queenie could not object and merely tagged along.
Meanwhile, Hayden was extremely fond of Colton. When he saw the older man’s arrival, he tugged on Colton’s pants and squealed in a cute voice, “Mr. Handsome, shall we do a DNA paternity test too? I somehow feel that you’re my dad…”
Standing aside, Queenie freaked out at once when she heard that. As she broke out in cold sweat, she scoffed, “Stop saying stupid things. Colton is the president of Gardner Corporation. How can he possibly be your father?! Stop claiming kinship with him.”
When Queenie had such a huge reaction, it left Colton feeling strange.
It was only much later when she regained her composure and sensed his gaze. Knowing that she had acted too recklessly, she quickly explained, “Colton, I’m just afraid that he’ll keep pestering you…”
Nevertheless, Colton ignored her and reached out with his hand to carry Hayden and bring him into the car.
Queenie did not dare to come after Colton, so she could only drive to the hospital on her own.
