Chapter 1086 I Did Not Do It

When Queenie was about to rebuke Gabriel's words, a deep voice sounded behind her. "He's right.One should always take responsibility for their actions."

She stiffly turned around to look behind her in response to the familiar voice, which sent shivers downher spine. Huh! How long have Colton and Nicole been standing behind me? They seem to haveoverheard the entire conversation. With this realization, she pressed her lips together nervously,uncertain of what to say.

After observing her daughter in such a distressed state, Lydia gently tugged on Queenie's arms, andshe gradually calmed down.

Then, Queenie clasped her hands as she stared at Colton, forcing a smile, and said calmly, "Please letme go, Colton. We dated for five years at one point. Please forgive me and accept my heartfeltapologies for what I've done." After saying that, she turned to Nicole and fell to her knees with a thud,tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "I'm so sorry! I was a fool to do what I had done. Sis,please forgive me!"

"Yes, Nicole," Lydia hurriedly said. "We've lived under the same roof for years. Queenie understandswhat she has done wrong. We apologize, so please let us go."

On the other hand, Nicole regarded the two women begging on the ground with icy eyes that lackedeven a trace of compassion in her bright eyes. Lived under the same roof... Are they referring to theyears when I could only eat leftovers? The ordeal of being kidnapped earlier left her physicallytrembling with exhaustion. So, she closed her eyes and sighed, "Do with them as procedure dictates."

Her lack of mercy caused the usually gentle and meek Lydia to burst out cursing. "Are you looking

down on us just because you are a member of the esteemed Wrenn Family? The Andersons takingyou in were the only thing that kept you from freezing to death and starving to death! You ungratefulwretch! You are an absolute ingrate!" As soon as she was done speaking, she saw Colton approachher. Then, before she could say another word, he stomped on her knee. The impact of that stomp wasso powerful that it sent her body tumbling to the ground, and she found herself in a position where shewas kneeling on it.

Afterward, he looked down at her with icy eyes. "You have no right to criticize my wife."

It was only then that Lydia realized she had misspoken in her fit of rage. She opened her mouth todefend herself but was interrupted by his frigid statement. "If you wish to keep your tongue intact, shutyour mouth. Do not say another word or else..."

The mother and daughter promptly fell silent upon hearing that threat. Colton had always been a manwho kept his word. That was something Queenie had known for a fact after the years she had spent byhis side.

As he led Nicole away from them, he turned to Gabriel. "I leave them in your hands. Do with them asyou will."

It was a chance for Gabriel to choose for himself. Then, he stared at the women on the ground asemotions warred in his eyes. It took a few long moments of staring before he eventually pulled out hisphone and called Evelyn.

"What is it, Gabriel?" she asked nonchalantly.

Staring down at the two women, he softly spoke into the phone, "Colton and I have rescued Nicole. We

even captured a few people in the process. One of the women says that you're involved in this."

After hearing that, Evelyn's hand tightened around her phone as her breath hitched. She hurriedlyspoke up to defend herself. "That's impossible! Gabriel, don't believe what other people say. I'vealready given up on Collie. I do not need to do that!"
