she was, she could immediately guess what was going on.

As everyone came into the residence, the atmosphere in the living room instantly turned gloomy to the point where
it was scary. Olivia’s face was sullen and the instant she saw Nicole coming in, she raised her voice and exclaimed,
“I am not going to allow a b*stard child to become one of the Gardners!”
Nicole knew that Olivia was talking about her. After the bodyguards let her go, she reached out and rubbed the
soreness in her shoulders. She was still confused by Anna’s sudden and unexpected announcement.
Anna’s expression didn’t look any better than Olivia’s, but her voice went soft when she saw Nicole walking in.
“Come over here, Nicole,” she gently ushered.
Nicole hesitated for a moment before she obediently walked over.
Anna took a look at Nicole, and turned to look at Olivia briefly before she said calmly, “Nicole’s child is also Colton’s
child. Nicole, we would like to give you an official position in our home if you and Colton aren’t against it.”
Nicole still hadn’t snapped out of her reverie when she heard those words that gave her another shock. She didn’t
expect to hear something like that coming from Anna.
Of course, Olivia was unhappy with the offer. She proceeded to noisily stand up and roar, “What right does a
promiscuous woman like her have to be one of us?!”
Even though Anna was usually a gentle person, she refused to budge in this matter.
“Olive, you are Mrs. Schumacher now. Why don’t you take care of your family before you stick your nose into
ours?!”
“Don’t you take advantage of the situation, Anna. I was a Gardner, and you were a Lowre. You are the outsider
here!” Olivia shrieked.
Anna Lowre was Anna’s maiden name before she got married.
Benjamin, who had been quietly thinking off to one side, was getting a headache from watching the two women
going for each other’s throat. “Enough! Stop fighting.” He grunted. “It is Wendy’s birthday. Don’t make a scene
today.”
Hearing that, Olivia let out a huff and sat down again. “I would have chewed you out if it wasn’t because of Wendy’s
birthday banquet. I won’t let that b*stard child into our house as long as I am still alive.”
Nicole’s face had started to darken as she listened to Olivia calling her son a b*stard.
Truth was, she never even thought that her son was related to the Gardners in any way.
“Olivia, I don’t care who you are, but you have no right to call anyone a b*stard. You can’t possibly think that the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchildren you gave birth to are the only ones who aren’t b*stards, can you?”
Nicole stood up, her face frigid.
Olivia couldn’t help but think of her two children who had passed away after hearing Nicole’s words. As pain flashed
across her eyes, she squeezed her hands tightly and continued speaking in a tone more disrespectful than before.
“I have seen my fair share of women like you. I am sure you are coveting our property.”
As Colton listened on, he had figured out the reason Olivia was adamant on not accepting Hayden and Nicole.
Seeing as to how his aunt relentlessly pushed Nicole, he finally spoke up. “Aunt, this is our family business. You don’t
have to concern yourself with it.”
Olivia’s face dropped in an instant, as Colton sounded as though he wanted her out of the picture.
“What are you talking about, Colton? Are you really thinking of bringing a b*stard child into the family?!”
Colton’s eyes dimmed at that. “If Hayden really is my son and Nicole isn’t against it, I would like to give them my
name.”
Nicole was surprised to hear that. She didn’t think Colton would be on her side.
Anna immediately looked relieved after Colton said that. She only made the announcement on stage because she
could tell that her son liked Nicole.
“What a joke! Don’t you know what kind of woman she is? She sold her body for money five years ago, and she also
got into an ambiguous relationship with Zachary Yates from F&M Apparel. God knows what she did to become the
Chief Designer of F&M Apparel within two short years! You are now going to let a dirty woman with a dirty past be
one of us? Tell me you are joking, Colton!”
Olivia was particularly agitated about this. In her opinion, both sides should come from similar backgrounds to take
marriage into consideration. Nicole, on the other hand, didn’t deserve the Garner family name.
