Chapter 409 She Couldn’t Remember
“What… What happened?” Nicole asked reservedly.
Zachary had never mentioned it to her. Whitney sighed at that. She was now a double agent, telling Zachary everything about Nicole and vice versa.
“Yes. President Yates is returning to take over his father’s company.”
Nicole frowned right after hearing Whitney’s words.
She recalled Zachary saying that he started his own company because his family’s business did not appeal to him. Why did he want to take over it now?
However, after recalling what his father had done previously, she understood his decision.
“Okay, just follow him then. I’m fine over here. Everything is going as planned. Don’t worry.”
“Nicole, President Yates…”
Whitney wanted to say something, but she resisted her urge to do so as she couldn’t think of anything appropriate to say. Hence, she simply hummed and responded casually, “Okay. If there’s anything important, I’ll let you know right away.”
After that, Nicole ended the call.
Hayden was standing next to her. Though he couldn’t understand what Nicole and Whitney were saying, he could tell that something had happened.
“Has anything happened to Mr. Yates, Mom?”
Nicole nodded, rubbing her brows. There was a lot going on in these few days.
Zachary’s family matters were not something she could get involved in. The Yates Family, though not very influential within the country, was highly authoritative abroad.
Their sphere of influence was extensive. Even F&M Apparel, the global leader in the fashion industry, paled in comparison.
“Yes, but he can handle it on his own. We don’t have to be concerned about him.”
Despite saying so, Nicole still had her brows furrowed in frustration.
When Hayden noticed this, he reached out to grab Nicole’s pants. Raising his head, he said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll definitely give him a discount if he needs my assistance!”
That made Nicole laugh. She squatted down and pinched Hayden’s chubby face as she exclaimed, “You’re so money-minded!”
Hearing that, he quickly patted her hands and rubbed his cheeks. “I’m not, Mom! I simply want to save more money so that I can provide for you,” he said aggrievedly.
Nicole felt warm all over when she heard that. She knew that despite his young age, Hayden was obedient and thoughtful, and she had nothing to worry about.
“I don’t need you to provide for me. My only wish is that you grow up safely and happily.”
He nodded in response. The boy then went on his toes, slipping his lips across Nicole’s face before kissing her on the lips loudly.
It made her so happy that her smile spread across her face.
Just as both mother and son were enjoying their time together, her phone rang.
Nicole thought it was Whitney calling to say something that she had forgotten earlier, but when the former took the phone out, the screen displayed Betty’s name.
“Hello, Ms. Betty! What is it?” Nicole answered the call and asked softly.
“Nicole… Nicole, I remembered something.”
Betty sounded anxious. Her voice was trembling while she spoke.
Nicole had a strange feeling. Her gaze twinkled with uncertainty and after a brief moment of hesitation, she asked, “What happened, Ms. Betty?”
“Lydia chased me out not long after she joined the Anderson Family, Nicole. Before I left, both Lydia and Queenie fed me a pill, and after that, my memory declined. I can’t remember a lot of things now.”
