Chapter 827
She was engrossed in thoughts when she suddenly noticed another sentence behind the paper. 'Miss Wrenn, I know
you're not one to trust strangers easily, but I have a strong grudge against Nicole and wish nothing more than to
see her dead! That's why I would be glad if someone could take away everything she has.'
Evelyn's doubts dissipated for a moment, and she could not help sneering coldly. This is unexpected. Nicole's
surprisingly gained quite a few enemies.
Subsequently, she removed the box from the courier package and opened it to glimpse the content, which revealed
a white plastic bag with some capsules.
At that moment, she realized the purpose of the capsules.
She clutched the letter and bag of capsules tightly with a calculative look in her eyes.
Today was Siobhan's birthday party, and the Gould Family had an established relationship with the Gardners. This
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, the party was held in the country and not abroad. As such, not only would Colton be present, but Benedict and
Anna would most likely attend the party too.
As soon as Evelyn thought of that, her expression darkened significantly. If I drug Colton, by then, he might not be
able to curb his urges, and if I'm in the same room as him…
Regardless of whether anything happened afterward, her marriage to Colton would essentially be set in stone as
long as members of both the Goulds and Gardners witnessed them.
Besides, ever since the incident with William previously, Benedict had been keen to matchmake her and Colton. If
something unspeakable happened between the two of them, he would inevitably force Colton to marry her.
At the thought of this, the smile on Evelyn's face gradually deepened. She would resort to anything at all to gain
Colton for herself!
Meanwhile, Siobhan's birthday party started on the dot at the specified time. This was the first party she hosted
after her near-death encounter. As such, many of the guests came bearing nutritional gifts.
However, most of them were not concerned about her health at all. They were merely here taking this opportunity
to build up ties with the Wrenns and Gardners. As long as they were in Siobhan's good books, not only would they
benefit commercially, they could even get their political matters sorted.
As soon as Nicole and Zachary walked out of the main hall, the party started with plenty of food arranged on the
vast lawn. In the center of the field was a massive performing stage.
The stage was not considered high, for it was only about a few inches above the ground, so one could easily step
onto it.
"It looks like the party has started. Nicole, do you want to go over?" asked Zachary as he lowered his head.
She looked at the crowded scene and felt a looming headache. When faced with such social events in the past, she
was the chief designer at F&M Apparel, so she had no choice but to front up. However, she was no longer holding
any position, so she could relax and enjoy the party.
At the thought of that, she shook her head. "No, thanks. I'd have to come up with some fawning and backhanded
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcompliments if I did. That'd be pretentious. I've finally relinquished my position, and I no longer need to deal with all
that, so why should I go over there and make life tough for myself?" She pouted slightly.
At the thought of that, she shook her head. "No, thanks. I'd have to come up with some fawning and backhanded
compliments if I did. That'd be pretentious. I've finally relinquished my position, and I no longer need to deal with all
that, so why should I go over there and make life tough for myself?" She pouted slightly.
She had been sitting in the same position for too long, so she felt drowsy and could not help yawning as she
covered her lips. Her voice even sounded hoarse. "Let's find a quiet spot in the corner. It's rude to leave early, so
why don't we sit somewhere and wait for the event to end?"
Zachary noticed that Nicole's head drooped from her tiredness. He frowned, but his eyes displayed hints of
tenderness. Subsequently, he steered her to a couch nearby.
There were several dainty couches placed on the lawn. Since the crowd was mainly here to socialize, no one
wanted to waste their time sitting around.
Around the empty couches, Nicole chose a secluded corner and took a seat before crossing her legs. Not having to
work lately, she mainly wore ballet flats while she was at home and went on for months without wearing heels.
Unaccustomed to the heel pressure, she found the soles of her feet hurting from standing too long.
