Chapter 875
Colton did not show too much emotion on his face as he raised his head to look at Evelyn. "You threatened to
commit suicide because of it, but you have gotten over it enough that you don't care about it anymore?"
His question put her on the spot. Her attempting suicide was just to make him marry her due to pressure from the
public, yet she never thought he would use that to question her.
Biting her lip, she thought for a moment before forcing a smile. "N-no. A-aren't we about to be engaged? I don't
think it's necessary to get so emotional about it. The investigation can wait until after the ceremony. You will
definitely get to the bottom of the whole incident."
There was only one step left in tying herself to him and she didn't want anything to go wrong. While she believed
she had done everything flawlessly, he was extremely smart. If he detected even a trace of something doubtful,

Her multiple attempts to stop his investigation gave him some answers. Lowering his voice, he calmly said, "Well, I
still have to seek justice for you. Why? Aren't you happy about that?"
At his unyielding stare, she laughed drily and agreed with him. "Of course, I am. You are so thoughtful when it
comes to me."
He could also discern how forced she looked, but he did not expose her right away. Standing up, he told her, "I'll get
on with my work now. I will be busy over the next few days, so just call my assistant if you need anything."
He left as soon as he was finished. Evelyn watched him go, unable to speak. I thought he was meeting up with me
for a real date, but it turned out to be something concerning that woman again! How does she warrant such an
important place in his heart?
She squeezed her hands as her features twisted with anger. Her eyes narrowed and something flashed within them.
I will never let you go this time!
…
Nicole was puzzled. She had assumed that Evelyn would visit her personally, yet there was nothing from her even
after several days. Without Evelyn's troublemaking, she felt more relieved and continued her peaceful lifestyle.
The search engine trending topics had been dominated by Evelyn and Colton's impending marriage since the union
between their families was a grand event for both the business and political circles.
"Evelyn Wrenn and Colton Gardner Getting Engaged"
"The Marriage Union Between the Wrenns and the Gardners Is the Start of a New Business Empire"
While Nicole claimed to not be interested in such things, her phone kept recommending the news related to the
wedding to her to the point that she became frustrated. Believing in the proverb 'out of sight, out of mind,' she
threw her phone aside and lay against the sofa to rest her eyes.

Zachary was back.
Seeing her spread out lazily on the sofa made a small smile appear on his face. He was holding a beautifully
wrapped carrier bag, which he placed on the table when he saw her open her eyes. He murmured gently, "I
thought you were asleep when I saw you from some distance away."
She yawned, covering her mouth and working her neck briefly. "Nope, just resting my eyes. I heard a sound, so I
opened my eyes."
"This is from the bakery on South Ring Road. I brought you and Hayden some pastries since I remember you like
them."
She was stunned. No wonder the packaging looked somewhat familiar; she had eaten their pastries before.
She finally regained some memories after seeing the bag. The bakery was very famous and had long queues
waiting to buy their items every single day. I have tried their pastries once and only mentioned it to him
offhandedly, yet he has quickly taken note of that.
