Chapter 1182 Back to Gould Residence

Nicole headed straight to Gould Residence after getting off the plane. When she returned, a still silencewas hovering over the living room. Several people sat together, but none of them spoke.

Nicole ran inside as soon as she got out of the car. When she arrived, her breathing wasn't steady. Shepanted heavily, her eyes reddening the instant she saw the man she yearned for day and night.

Seeing how hurt she looked, Rita stepped forward in an attempt to comfort her, asking, "Nicole, are youalright?"

Nicole shook her head and sniffled. In a voice choked with emotion, she replied, "I'm okay, Grandma.Don't worry about me."

Rita took her hand and asked under her breath, "Nicole, what exactly is going on between Colton andEvelyn?"

"Grandma, this is a long story, but it's not what Colton intended. I'll take care of this," replied Nicole in alow, soothing voice.

Hearing her say that, Rita was a little relieved. She nodded without asking any further questions. "Okay,this is your business, so I won't poke my nose into it. That being said, if you have any trouble and needmy help, just tell me."

Nicole was moved to see that Rita was determined to side with her. She nodded without saying anotherword; then, composing her features, she regained her usual composure. Her bright, clear eyes staringat Colton, she slowly called out, "Colton."

Hearing her voice, Colton showed some response; his good-looking eyes flickered and darted towardher.

Seeing the man react to her voice, Nicole got somewhat emotional. In a quavering voice, shecontinued, "Colton, look at me."

Seeing Nicole like this, Evelyn immediately stood up and stepped between the pair. She looked up atthe woman with a frown, saying in a stern voice, "Nicole, now that Colton doesn't love you anymore,what's the use of calling out to him? Just hurry up and divorce him if you know what's good for you!"

Nicole's eyes grew frosty the instant she listened to Evelyn's words. This woman infected Colton with avoodoo bug and even fed him blood in order to control him. Luckily, Colton is in good health, or hemight end up being tormented to death right away by the symptoms. That's how selfish Evelyn is; whenshe loves someone, she holds them against their will whether they love her or not. "Evelyn Wrenn, howcould you infect Colton with a voodoo bug? Did it ever cross your mind how much harm this would doto him?!" she questioned coldly in a voice as icy as a freezing ice-cold pool in the dead of winter. "Youkeep saying that you love Colton, but your love is really cheap! All you know is to deprive others of theirrights and control them. How despicable!"

Evelyn nearly changed color at Nicole's criticism, and her hands gradually clenched into fists by hersides. Letting out a sneer, she retorted, "Fine, your love isn't cheap, and you're generous. In that case,just divorce Colton!"

Nicole shot a frosty look at her without saying another word. Then, she brushed past her, coming

straight to Colton's side.

At the sight of this, Evelyn tried to step forward to stop Nicole. However, no sooner had she gottenclose than she heard the latter say, "Stay away from me if you want to stay alive." Her chilly voice wasso piercing, it was scary just to listen to it. It was as though Nicole would really kill her should she takeone more step closer.

But how could Evelyn give up this immediate opportunity? Feigning composure, she replied, "Nicole,what exactly do you want? Surely you know Colton will go insane if you force him to stay by your sideat this time."

Nicole's eyes darkened at Evelyn's words. However, what Evelyn said was right. Someone infectedwith a voodoo bug couldn't be away for too long from the person who infected them with it. This wasthe disgusting thing about voodoo bugs. These bugs had been studied in the early years, but the studywas scrapped afterward because it was too much against people's will.
