CHAPTER 1037 ALMOST CHOKED TO DEATH

She bit her lip and sobbed. "Collie, you've only known Nicole for a few days, but we've known eachother for so long. How can you believe her words without question?"

Evelyn took a few steps forward and her glamorous face was filled with compassion. She blinked hereyes and tears instantly streamed down her face.

She continued in a hoarse voice, "Collie, you can't just believe whatever Nicole says."

He looked at her tear-streaked face and an inexplicable impatience rose within him.

He had already issued his warning. If Evelyn disregarded it and continued to pull tricks, he wouldn'ttreat her politely anymore.

Colton exuded a faint aura of indifference and didn't say anything more. He turned around andintended to leave.

Evelyn wasn't willing to let this rare opportunity to be alone with him slip away. Seeing that he wasabout to leave, she quickly stepped forward and held onto him as her voice choked with emotion.

"Don't go, Collie! You know that I've liked you for so many years. Can you give me a chance? I reallylike you."

There was no trace of emotion in Colton's pitch-black eyes when he was faced with Evelyn'spassionate confession. There was even a hint of coldness that flashed through as he squeezedEvelyn's hand, making her release her grip on him. He turned to face her with his tall figure and cast adisdainful glance at her.

She winced in pain as she held her hand. Her eyes were also brimming with tears. She exclaimed,"Collie, I truly like you. How good can Nicole be? I can also give you whatever she can give you."

At the mention of Nicole, he slightly squinted and emitted an intimidating aura. "You're not worthy tocompare yourself to her."

Evelyn's face turned pale, and her lips trembled for a moment. She gritted her teeth unwillingly andasked, "Why am I not worthy? She's just a woman who had a miscarriage. What makes her sospecial?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her breath being constricted. His large hand was nowgripping her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

His eyes darkened, and his grip tightened gradually. Her face turned red, and she desperately tried topush his arms away. She hoped that this man would let her go, but at this moment, he seemedpossessed, and his grip on her grew tighter.

"Col… Collie…"

Evelyn gasped for air as she felt darkness engulfing her mind. It felt like she was about to suffocate anddie. She was terrified as she desperately tried to break free, but the hands around her neck tightenedfurther.

No one witnessed this scene as they were in a dim corner, far from the bustling banquet.

The next second, Colton suddenly released his grip as if he realized something.

She collapsed on the ground while she propped herself up with her hands and desperately gasped forfresh air.

It was a close call…

She almost died just now.

Colton almost choked her to death.

She had never been so afraid of someone before. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked up atthe man who seemed like an emperor in the darkness.

Colton's icy gaze met hers, and as he observed her disheveled state, there was not a trace of pity inhis eyes.

Looking down on her from a superior position, Colton uttered with a cold voice, "Remember that this isyour last chance. If you ever lay a hand on Nicole again or say a single bad word about her, I won'tspare you."

The frigid tone sent shivers down her spine.

In the past, she might have thought that he was just trying to scare her, but she nearly died in his handsjust now. She knew that he wasn't joking.

This man might really kill her.

Thinking about the suffocating feeling from earlier, Evelyn still hadn't fully processed it. She lay limp onthe ground as her whole body trembled.
