Chapter 471 Finding Douglas
“Don’t catch his attention for no reason. He is not as stupid as you think,” Colton added a reminder.
Nicole didn’t seem all that surprised after hearing his words as she only gave a short reply with a small smile on her
face. “Got it.”
“You are not going to ask me why?” He was also smiling now while he asked her.
There was no way that Nicole, a smart woman, wouldn’t already know the answer.

Smilingly, she explained, “The person in charge of the Fleming Family can’t possibly be such a useless person. He
was putting on an act for the most part just now. I felt it when I took his pulse. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to
break free, but he pretended he couldn’t.”
As Colton looked at Nicole speak openly without a sense of guilt, he couldn’t help the admiration that appeared in
his eyes. As expected of the woman he fell for. She was brilliant in every way.
Nicole suddenly thought of something then. From what she remembered, the Flemings didn’t have a lot of business
within the country. As the only heir, Joshua shouldn’t be any more free than Colton was. She started wondering the
reason Joshua came back from abroad.
“Is Joshua Fleming back in the country for something?”
Colton didn’t try to hide anything as he told her the plan to have Joshua seduce Christi.
Her first reaction to it was that it was a nonsensical plan. However, she started considering about the possibility of it
succeeding when she thought about how Joshua had acted dumb and naive earlier.
“Did Richard come up with the plan?” she asked.
Because if it was, it meant that Richard still hadn’t gotten over Julia.
“Richard is good at hiding his feelings. If something is within his capability, he will do it all. He never wants to trouble
others. It is because of his personality that he and Christi ended up together. But I can see that he cares about Miss
Hull. That was why he came to me to help him get rid of Christi.”
Nicole’s heart skipped a beat, and her fingers hanging on her side jolted unnaturally.
However, she was still somewhat doubtful about the seduction plan. “Are you sure it will work?” she asked.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now that the Gardner Corporation is competing with the Kohlberg
Group for F&R Enterprise, I can’t personally come forward. I have no choice but to do it in a roundabout way,” he
stated.
Colton was glad that Joshua owed him a favor in their early years. Joshua definitely wouldn’t have agreed to do this
kind of thing otherwise.
Nicole gave it a thought, and finally decided that following the plan was better than doing nothing. Now that Julia
was pregnant with Richard’s child, it would be great if Richard could cut ties with the Zunigas.
“What if Christi ends up falling for Joshua?”
Colton only replied indifferently, “Let Joshua deal with it. He has tainted so many women. It would be a contribution
to society if there was a woman who would latch on to him.”

Nicole couldn’t help thinking how bad of a friend Colton was.
However, the Fleming Family was an influential family whose business was on a global scale. Coupled with their
control over the oil industry, both the Flemings and the Zunigas would only end up battered if the Zunigas chose to
force the Flemings.
It wasn’t like Nicole would worry about Christi anyway. After all, she was no saint.
It was a hot day which sunlight easily left people feeling aggravated all over.
Whitney was all dolled-up when she arrived on the first floor of F&R Enterprise with an exquisite purse in her hand.
F&R Enterprise had a spacious lobby downstairs. As soon as she entered the door, she was stopped by the woman
at the front desk who had a faint smile on her face. The words that left her lips then sounded detached.
“Hi. May I have your name, please?”
Whitney was extremely polite to the woman.
“I am Whitney Campbell from the Campbell Corporation. Please inform President Douglas that I am here to see
him.”
“The president has been very busy recently. You won’t be able to see him without an appointment, Miss. Perhaps
you can try again in two weeks?”
Whitney’s face immediately froze as a stiff smile stayed on her face.
“I really do have something urgent I need to talk to him about. Also, Douglas and I were classmates. Can you please
just let him know that Whitney Campbell is looking for him?”
