Right Person, Wrong Time Chapter 1287

Chapter 1287 Threatened

Colton opened up the folder while ignoring his butler. Then, he cursed himself for making this decision. Can't believe

I told him to stuff the result in a folder. Great, now it's making life hard for me too.

He pulled out a small stack of papers with trembling hands and hesitated. He wished the child wasn't his but

remained clueless about his actions when infected by the voodoo bug. Nonetheless, he questioned the validity of his

dreams, suspecting that his mind had rearranged scenes to shield him from the harsh reality.

"Mr. Gardner." The butler's voice broke through, his observant eyes noting Colton's shaken state. He recognized the

weight of Colton's turmoil and realized that acceptance was a bitter pill that had to be swallowed eventually.

Summoning his resolve, Colton took a deep breath and turned to the final page. His eyes widened in disbelief as he

read the result—a 99.9% match.

"This can't be," he gasped, stepping back in shock. He regarded the papers in his hand as molten coals, then angrily

tossed them to the ground. The revelation was unfathomable, and he refused to accept it. Oh God, is this a joke?

So, did I betray Nicole first, leaving me no right to accuse her of infidelity?

"We should go home now, Mr. Gardner," the butler advised, his cheek twitching slightly as he discreetly gathered

the scattered papers and stuffed them into a new folder.

He had served Colton faithfully for years and deeply understood the man's character. These were potential

evidence that might prove helpful. He believed in Colton's fidelity, suggesting that there might be more to the story.

Hence, a reevaluation of the results was necessary. Mr. Gardner is just overwhelmed by emotions and can't stay

calm. He's blinded by his heart, perhaps.

However, Colton slowly walked past his butler without a glance, his mind consumed by a tempest of emotions. In

the meantime, the butler watched Colton's retreating figure, clutching the folder tightly, and followed him.

After returning to the villa, Colton's demeanor was that of a shattered man. He had been reduced to a mere shell of

himself, crushed beneath the weight of the justice he had upheld and the guilt he could never escape.

Unbeknownst to him, Ryan emerged from the hospital, his gaze focused on Colton's retreating figure as a smirk

formed on Ryan's lips. This turn of events wasn't unfavorable. After all, Colton's vulnerability meant his guard would

likely be down, presenting an opportune moment for Ryan to strike while he was at his weakest.

Then, he slowly whipped his phone out and called a number he'd been frequently contacting.

"So, did it work?" the woman asked hurriedly.

Ryan understood the significance Evelyn attached to this endeavor. This understanding provided him the leverage

he needed, and he knew he could wrap the woman around his pinky. "Of course, your sources proved reliable, Miss

Wrenn. Called me yesterday, and he's already here today," he responded, a faint smile on his lips. Moreover, he

had to wheedle some information from her for his plan to unfurl smoothly.

Perplexed, she questioned, sensing that the man was hinting at something more. "What do you mean?"



"We are partners, Miss Wrenn. Do not think I am working for you. We are equals," he declared, his demeanor

shifting from casual to resolute. His smile disappeared, and venom flared in his eyes.

After hearing this, Evelyn felt a tightening in her chest, an unease settling over her. It dawned on her that Ryan's

aura of menace sent shivers down her spine. She recognized the extent of his capacity for treachery—he could

easily betray her when she least expected it or worse. "I know. I'll give you an important piece of info in exchange."

Then, she heaved a long sigh and brought up their past deed. "Don't forget that you couldn't have succeeded in

planting the voodoo bug in Nicole if not for me."
