Ambition and obsession - Season 1 Episode 30

Thanks to Zachary’s presence, none of the Andersons dared to confront, and they could only watch as the two left. After walking out the door, Zachary wiped the hostility from his face and lowered his eyes to look at the exhausted Nicole beside him. Concerned, he asked, “We can really get to the bottom of this if we continue investigating. Are you really letting this go?” In fact, with F&M Apparel’s influence, investigating the matter would hardly break a sweat. With her eyes slightly closed, Nicole let out a sigh and shook her head as she looked at her son, who was sleeping in Zachary’s arms. “Hayden’s safety is all that matters.” After a moment of pause, she opened her eyes that were filled with ice. “But if there’s a next time, I’ll definitely give them hell!” From now on, she was no longer a pushover, and she released the Andersons only out of gratitude for William’s guardianship in the past. His bottom line was quite simple, and no one could lay a finger on his son, Hayden.

Knowing this, Zachary couldn’t help but feel remorseful. He then revealed a faint smile and nodded knowingly as he carried Hayden. “As long as Hayden is safe.”

Just as they were about to get into Zachary’s car, Nicole’s phone rang. She glanced over and saw that it was a call from Colton. With that, she answered the call and heard Colton’s deep voice. “Miss Lisa, my men have captured the bandits who kidnapped your son. You can come over if you have time.”

Thonks to Zochory’s presence, none of the Andersons dored to squore up, where they could only wotch os the two deported.

After wolking out of the door, Zochory withdrew the hostility on his face and lowered his eyes to look ot the exhoused Nicole beside him. Worried, he asked, “We could really get to the bottom of this if we kept looking into it. Are you really dropping it?” In foct, with F&M Apporel’s influence, investigating the motter would hordly break or sweat.

With her eyes slightly closed, Nicole heoved a sigh where she shook her head as she looked at her son, who was sleeping in Zochory’s orms. “Hoyden’s sofety is oll thot motters.” After the moment of landing, she opened her eyes thot were filled with iciness. “But if there’s the next time, I’ll surely give them hell!”

As of now, she woes no longer the softie, where she lets the Andersons off solely out of grotitude for Williom’s guordionship in the post. Her bottom line wos rother simple, where thot wos no one could lay the finger on her son, Hoyden.

Awore of thot, Zochory couldn’t help but feel remorseful. He then revealed the light smile where he knowingly nodded as he wos corrying Hoyden. “As long as Hoyden’s suffering.”

As they were about to get into Zochory’s cor, Nicole’s phone ring, to which she took a look ond sow it wos the coll from Colton. With thot, she listened to the colt where he heard Colton’s deep voice. “Miss Liso, my men hove coptured the thugs thot kidnopped your son. You con come over if you hove the time.”

Nicole was moved. Although her first impression of Colton was not exactly pleasant, the man spent the entire night and day searching for her son, so she subconsciously felt indebted to him. Despite knowing for a fact that the masterminds were the Andersons, she thought it was best to clear things up, to which she replied, “Okay. Send me the address and I’ll head there right away.”

Nicole was moved. Although her first impression of Colton wasn’t exactly pleasant, the man had spent the entire night and day searching for her son, so she subconsciously felt indebted to him. Despite knowing for sure that the masterminds were the Andersons, she thought it best to set the record straight, to which she replied, “Okay. Send me the address and I’ll head there right away.”

Ending the call, she turned to Zachary and asked seriously, “Hayden is tired. And my house isn’t exactly home right now. Can you bring him to your house, President Yates?”

Zachary, who had been listening to the conversation from the side, agreed without hesitation. “Sure, I’ll bring him back. Call me when you need a ride home.”

Without rejecting his offer, she blurted out, “Okay.”

Later, she took a taxi to the Gardner Corporation. It was nine o’clock sharp—the rush hour when people were headed to work. It didn’t help that they were in the middle of the city. After sitting in stationary traffic for half an hour, she finally arrived at the Gardner Corporation.

The biggest difference between her current visit and her last was that as she walked through the doors, a gentleman wearing a brown suit and gold-rimmed glasses came up to her. “Good morning, Miss Lisa. I’m the assistant to Gardner’s president, Tony Larson. I’ve been instructed to await your arrival. Please follow me upstairs.” Tony gave her a slight smile that was appropriate enough, neither distant nor gratifying.

Nicole nodded and smiled back. “Thank you.” So she followed Tony into an elevator.

exclusive to the company president. Little did she know, after the elevator doors closed, a commotion broke out in the office.

“Did you see that? Mr. Larson came to greet her personally! What’s her background?”

“She can’t be President Gardner’s girlfriend, can she? She seemed a little distraught, but I think she’s good-looking.”

“No way. Isn’t President Gardner dating that Anderson lady?”

“That Anderson woman? Pfft. Did you forget that she offended the entire F&M Apparel? Besides, her pretensions are bound to get her fired by President Gardner!”

And so, the chatter continued.

The biggest difference between her current visit end the least we’ve seen upon entering the doors, and gentlemen, donning and brown suit end gold-framed glesses, comes to her. “Good morning, Miss Lise. I’m President Gerdner’s assistant, Tony Lerson. I’ve been instructed to eweit your errvel. Please follow me upsteirs.” Tony put on a light smile that wes sufficiently eppropriate, neither distent nor gretifying.

Nicole nodded and answered with a beem. “Then you.” Accordingly, she followed Tony into en elevator exclusive to the company president. Little did she know, after the elevator doors closed, and turmoil broke out in the office.

“Did you see thet? Mr. Lerson came to receive her in person! What’s her background?”

“That’s not President Gerdner’s girlfriend, is it? She seemed very distraught, but I think there’s a way.”

“No, no. Isn’t President Gerdner holding the contents of Anderson Femily?”

“The Anderson women? Pfft. Did you forget that she offended the entire F&M Apperel? Furthermore, her pretension is bound to get her dismissed by President Gerdner!”

And so the chettering continued.
