Chapter 984 I’ll Definitely Find Them
Nicole mumbled softly in reply. Because of her pregnancy, she felt a little weak, and if she really went face-to-face
with Undercity, she might even be a burden. "Okay, let me know once you have any news. I would like to find out
who has been repeatedly trying to harm me!" she muttered threateningly.
"Okay, Boss," Roy answered and said no more.
Nicole's face turned solemn after she ended the call. Seated next to her, Colton had heard every single word of her
conversation with Roger earlier. While cleaning up the leftovers on the table, he raised his gaze at her and asked,
"Do you have any plans now?"
Looking down at the tabletop, she said after a while, "Since I've activated the men from Lome, that means there's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtno way back. I have to find that person from Undercity!"
All these years, even though Lome was doing things for money, they had offended quite a few people, and many of
them were even high-ranking officials and prominent people. Except during periods when they were on a mission,
the men from Lome were hanging out in the lawless part of Uzor. Not only Lome was there, but also other
mercenaries. If a regular person headed there for revenge, they might have perished even before they could find
Lome.
In fact, many wanted to have their revenge against the boss of Lome, but Nicole almost never contacted Lome all
these years. Besides an occasional call, the new joiners of Lome had never seen her before. If someone found out
that she was the boss of Lome, she was afraid that her enemies would come looking for her. At the thought of this,
her face turned a little sullen.
This was also the reason she didn't reach out to Lome in the beginning. If she was targeted, no matter where she
was, she couldn't be at ease for even a moment. On the other hand, if she didn't find this person from Undercity
this time, she was afraid that Hayden would be in danger in the future. Therefore, she had no other choice but to
use the men from Lome.
As though Colton had also thought of this point, he reached out and held her hand in his. His palm was big, sturdy,
and warm, carrying a trace of strength as he squeezed her hand tightly. "Nicky, don't tell anyone that you're the
boss of Lome. Don't let anyone find out about this, either."
Her lips broke into a smirk and she chuckled softly. Of course, she knew that as well, and she responded with a nod
and nothing else. Lowering his head to look at her, Colton deliberated for a few seconds before continuing, "Lome
had offended many people over the years, but they're always in the lawless zone, so those people don't dare to act
recklessly. If someone finds out that you're the boss of Lome, I'm afraid that you won't live a peaceful life after
that."

With his other arm, Colton draped it over her shoulder and pulled her toward himself. In a husky voice, he
murmured, "But don't worry. With me around, I won't let anything happen to you and Hayden."
His words were firm and strong, carrying an unknown sense of security that made her feel at ease. "Okay. Thank
you, President Gardner," she answered softly.
Releasing her, he traced his hands upward and stopped at her face. Holding her fair face in his palms, he pinched
her cheeks softly and said, "Why are you still calling me that? You should call me darling. That's more intimate."
A helpless look flashed across Nicole's face at the thought that he was taking a yard after he was given an inch and
acting completely shameless. Clearing her throat, she then said, "Alright, it's getting late and I need to rest now. I'm
feeling a little sleepy." After she diverted the topic of conversation, she yawned and headed upstairs to bed.
Watching her as she put on a pretense, Colton didn't say anything, but his dark eyes were filled with amusement as
he watched her retreating figure unblinkingly.
