Chapter 1033 What Will You Do With Me?
Evelyn, who was sitting to the side, noticed Rita's smile.She couldn't help but appear glum.
Rita's expression was dark when Siobhan brought Evelyn in.
Even after Evelyn brought out the gift that Siobhan had chosen a long time ago, Rita remained silent.
After some convincing from Siobhan, Rita finally icily said, "Make yourself at home."
However, as soon as Nicole arrived, Rita's demeanor abruptly changed.
Today, Colton was also decked out in a dapper black suit, and he looked tall and handsome.
Holding a black box, he gently placed it on the table and said, "This is a gift from Nicole and me.I hopeyou'll like it, Old Mrs.Gould."
When she opened the box, Rita was thrilled to discover an emerald- stone necklace in gold with a largeemerald embedded in the center.
Although this green necklace appeared a little kitsch, the shiny green color would suit elderly peoplelike Rita.
"You must have gone to great lengths to get this necklace.It is an imperial green emerald, and everystone was set flawlessly."
Rita kept staring at the necklace and wouldn't let go.
These opulent items were popular among the elderly.
With a faint smile, Nicole shook her head and said, "Oh, it's all thanks to a friend.We hope you like it,Old Mrs.Gould."
"I like it! I definitely like it."
Rita chuckled.
Immediately after Rita accepted the gift, the butler standing to the side suddenly moved forward andwhispered a few words into her ear.She immediately adopted a slightly more serious expression.
Looking at Nicole, Rita said, "I'm going to see some of my old friends who have just arrived.The partywill soon begin, so just hang around."
"Sure, Old Mrs.Gould.I'll be with Colton," Nicole replied with a nod and a smile.
Rita then walked away.
Instantaneously, silence descended throughout the space.
Colton sat next to Nicole as he peeled and fed her grapes.
On the other side of the room, Siobhan and Evelyn sat in silence, creating an unusual atmosphere.
At last, Siobhan got up first, took a few steps next to Colton, and asked, "Is this a good time to speakwith you right now?"
Colton set the grapes down, looked up to see Siobhan, then turned to look at Nicole.
"Go ahead," Nicole said to Colton without looking at Siobhan.
Colton rose to his full height and smiled, saying, "Sure, Madam Gould."
Colton still had respect for Siobhan because the Gardners and the Wrenns had been close friendssince the previous generation.
The silence in the room grew even deeper when Nicole and Evelyn were left alone after Colton andSiobhan had left.
Nicole didn't want to talk to Evelyn, so she kept her head down and focused on her phone.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels could be heard, and Nicole looked up to see Evelyn approaching.
She frowned slightly, put her phone away, and gave Evelyn a cold look.
When Evelyn noticed Nicole's expression, she snickered and asked, "Miss Anderson, are you afraid ofme playing tricks in a public setting?"
"Well, it's true that you're always up to dirty tricks," Nicole responded sternly.
Evelyn smirked.
Looking at Nicole, she softly said, "Yes, I've indeed played a lot of dirty tricks.One of them was yourmiscarriage."
Nicole's face darkened instantly, and she locked her gaze on Evelyn.
At this moment, Evelyn's smirk turned menacing.
Then, she covered her lips and said, "Look at you, Miss Anderson.What will you do with me? Even if Idid cause you to miscarry, I would still be the Wrenns' superior and precious daughter, and I wouldalways have my mother's support."
