Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 852

Colton closed his eyes and mentally sorted out the situation for a bit.

Even though he and Evelyn did nothing despite lying naked on the same bed, the Wrenns and the Gardners would

still let their imagination run free if they had seen the duo.

The Wrenns and the Gardners were acquainted in the first place, and Benedict intended to match them up. If

Evelyn had sacrificed herself to save Colton after he was drugged, Benedict would surely make Colton take Evelyn

as his bride.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, Colton's gaze had turned cold. His thin lips pressed together and he exuded a

chilling aura.

…

After the banquet was over, Gabriel began to investigate Colton's drugging incident. He was in the middle of his

investigation when he noticed that Beryl had arrived.

He knew that Colton was enraged, or he wouldn't have sent Beryl over. Colton must have been determined to find

out the truth.

Since Gabriel and Beryl knew each other, they chatted for a while before they began to gather evidence.

With the help of Colton's description, the professionals Beryl brought over with him quickly found the cake and drink

he had.

They immediately started with their screening.

Siobhan frowned slightly when the group of people barged into her house and rummaged through everything.

Colton closad his ayas and mantally sortad out tha situation for a bit.

Evan though ha and Evalyn did nothing daspita lying nakad on tha sama bad, tha Wranns and tha Gardnars would

still lat thair imagination run fraa if thay had saan tha duo.

Tha Wranns and tha Gardnars wara acquaintad in tha first placa, and Banadict intandad to match tham up. If

Evalyn had sacrificad harsalf to sava Colton aftar ha was druggad, Banadict would suraly maka Colton taka Evalyn

…

Aftar tha banquat was ovar, Gabrial bagan to invastigata Colton's drugging incidant. Ha was in tha middla of his

Thay immadiataly startad with thair scraaning.

Siobhan frownad slightly whan tha group of paopla bargad into har housa and rummagad through avarything.

Seeing this, Gabriel explained to her what happened between Evelyn and Colton, and about how Colton was

drugged.

It was only then that she learned about what had happened during the banquet. She looked pale when she asked,

"What of Evelyn?"

After all, she was Evelyn's mother. The first person she worried about was her daughter.

Gabriel reassured her warmly, "Evelyn is fine. Father told her to rest after he resolved the issue."

"As for the two of them…" Siobhan looked up at her son. Despite wearing an elegant and striking dress, she spoke

in a somewhat chilly voice.

Gabriel knew what she wanted to know. "Nothing happened between them," he informed her.

Heaving a small sigh of relief, she continued, "Okay. Thanks for letting me know. Colton was drugged during my

birthday banquet, after all. It only makes sense to have this properly looked into. I'll go check on Evelyn."

Gabriel knew that Siobhan had always been a sensible person, so he nodded and instructed a servant to bring her

upstairs.

The people that he brought along were extremely efficient. It only took a short while for them to find traces of the

drug in a wine glass.

As Gabriel had made sure all the empty plates and food were left strictly untouched, it took the group no time to

find something by checking the residue on them.

Gabriel looked at the extracted drug residue and the calculated drug effect, and he couldn't help but click his

tongue.

"What a scary person to use such a potent drug. This dosage could even get an elephant excited. Tsk! Did Boss

really stop himself from doing anything?"

He looked worried as he lightly wrinkled his forehead and repeatedly tapped his fingers on a surface.

…

Colton had just woken up the next day when he received a call from Anna, telling him to make a trip to the Gardner

Residence.

He thought something was wrong, but he didn't ask much about it and only packed up before he rushed over.

He realized he had stepped into a big scene as soon as he entered the door. Benjamin, Benedict, and Olivia had

also come and were sitting together with solemn looks on their faces. Colton could tell that they were there

because of an important matter.

He promptly slowed down before his eyes landed on his mother.

Anna looked tormented but still, she took a step forward and grabbed Colton's hand. She then lowered her voice

and lamented next to his ear, "Evelyn tried to end it all last night. She claims she's too embarrassed to live after

having her innocence sullied and you refused to marry her."
