Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1057 Negotiations

In the evening, a group of heavily armed men suddenly swarmed into the villa.

These people were very disciplined. Dressed in army camouflage, they marched uniformly, their faces expressionless.

Nicole was shocked at the sight of the men before her. There were at least hundreds of them, and they crowded the villa's garden.

The man leading them trotted up to Colton upon seeing him. After saluting him, he said respectfully, "Everyone's here, Major General."

Colton nodded. Pointing to Beryl behind him, he said, "Follow his orders."

"Roger that," the man complied immediately without asking why.

Having slept during the day, Colton was in good spirits that night.

Beryl took the Pioneers to hide in ambush first in preparation for the fierce battle tomorrow.

Seeing their weapons, Nicole finally had a faint realization that the battle was really about to begin.

It was almost early morning when everything was set up.

At a little past 7.00AM, they had breakfast and drove back to Jerry's base.

Beryl's men had surrounded the place after they had left previously. Knowing that Jerry hadn't moved Wendy out of here, they went into action.

This time, they arrived more directly than the previous time.

In the evening, a group of heavily armed men suddenly swarmed into the villa.

Jerry waited at the entrance with Sasha. Seeing them drive over, he greeted them with a smile, saying, "You look much prettier than when I last saw you a couple of days ago." The remark was directed at Nicole.

Colton frowned slightly without saying a word. He merely looked at Sasha, asking, "Where is Wendy?"

Sasha's ink-black eyes were fixed on him in an attempt to detect anything suspicious on his face. However, after studying him for a long time, she still didn't notice anything wrong. She lowered her eyes and asked with a smirk, "Have you really decided to trade Nicole for Wendy?"

A faint smile spread across Colton's face. He replied in a calm voice, "I've got no shortage of women around me. As long as I want it, there are lots of women who would throw themselves at me one after another. Wendy is my own sister, so it's only natural that I'd choose her."

Listening to his words, Sasha suddenly burst into a guffaw. Looking at Nicole with a hint of cruelty on her face, she said, "Nicole, did you hear that? This man was so nice to you when everything was fine, yet he chose to abandon you the moment something goes wrong. How laughable that you've borne him a child!"

Nicole's face was expressionless. After lowering her eyes for a long time, she slowly curled her lips into a bitter smile as if to laugh at herself. "I love him, so I respect his choice."

A hint of ferocity flashed across Sasha's eyes when she saw how Nicole remained devoted to Colton in such a situation. Clenching her fists, she repeated, "Are you sure you're gonna trade Nicole for Wendy?"

"Yes, I am," Colton replied with an air of indifference as his tall figure stood in place, as though the woman before him had nothing to do with him.

Sasha's eyes narrowed. After a long time, she said, "Do you know that I want Nicole for the purpose of torturing her? Alvin died because of her, so I'll make her life a living hell."

Colton still looked as indifferent as ever with his hands in his pockets. He replied in a soft voice, "She's yours now, so whatever you want to do with her is none of my business. Right now, I want to see whether Wendy is safe before we can proceed."

Sasha stared at Colton meaningfully. At this very moment, she really couldn't understand him. She thought he would never abandon Nicole, yet it surprised her that he agreed to it so quickly.

It wasn't until Jerry gave her a nudge that she snapped out of her trance. She asked with a smile, "What if you guys decide to snatch Wendy by force when I bring her here?"
