Chapter 1359 More Care, More Trouble
'How's your brother, Wendy? He didn't seem too well when he left earlier.'
'It's been a while, Wendy. Haven't you arrived at the hotel?'
'Give me a response when you see this, Wendy.'
Wendy felt a pang of regret when she saw the series of texts she had received from Nicole. I was too focused on
Colton earlier, and I forgot to update Nicole. I made her worry for nothing, Wendy thought. After that, she hastily
typed out a bunch of words in their chat. I should reply to her immediately. I'm sure she's still awake, Wendy
figured.
'I just got back to my room, Nicole. Something happened, but I don't know what. I'll update you once I get more
information,' Wendy texted. She was certain that something was up. Otherwise, Beryl wouldn't show up and stay

Meanwhile, Nicole stayed up to wait for Wendy's text. Wendy didn't respond immediately, so Nicole watched the
news while waiting. She finally received Wendy's text slightly past midnight, and she felt her chest tightening upon
reading Wendy's message. Did something happen back in the country? I don't think that's possible. Colton might be
in Florend, but there are still people handling the situation back home. I don't think Ryan can cause problems for
the Gardners within such a short period, Nicole thought. Could this be about that person?
She seemed to realize something then. I have to know what's going on. I'll be able to work better once I find out
more about the situation. Then, I'll have a clearer goal to work toward, she thought. 'I'll need your help to find out
more, Wendy,' Nicole replied.
By the time Wendy received Nicole's text, she had already devoured most of the takeaway food. She fell deep into
thought after she saw Nicole's text. I won't be able to get much from Colton, so… Beryl! Wendy packed up the rest
of the unfinished meatballs before she headed out of her room. Well, if that's the case… Here I come, Beryl Helm!
On the other end, Beryl had just gotten out of the shower, and he was glad to finally get some rest for the next few
days. He had put in a lot of time and effort to do his research on Kendrick over the past few days, and his work was
almost done. Colton's team would complete the rest of the research, and Beryl figured that he would get to rest a
little while he was in Florend.
Beryl had just settled down in bed when he heard a knock on his door. Is someone knocking on my door? He
hurried to his feet.
Knock knock! The knocks grew louder, and it sounded as if someone was trying to knock his door down. Beryl
frowned a little—he was displeased by the person's actions, but he tried his best to stay calm as he walked over to
open the door.
"Hello!" Wendy held a box of meatballs in her hands as she introduced herself to Beryl. "It's nice to meet you. I'm
Wendy!"

Beryl's expression was blank as he stared at the woman before him. He knew Wendy well, and he was sure that she
was here to ask him for a favor. I'm probably not going to benefit from this conversation. With that thought, Beryl
pushed Wendy out of the room without any hesitation. "I'm about to sleep. You should leave," he uttered.
Wendy took a step back as she glanced at the man's large hand pressing against her arm. "Ah! A pervert!" she
screamed. Beryl was taken aback by her shout, and he immediately pulled his hand away before stumbling
backward. His face was filled with terror as he stared at the woman. He was genuinely shocked by her scream—he
hadn't expected her to be so loud, and he hadn't expected her to call him a pervert. It's just the two of us here.
Who's the pervert?!
Beryl instinctively glanced at his surroundings to make sure that there weren't any other people around. So… I'm
the pervert that Wendy is referring to? He seemed to realize something then, and he was just about to step forward
when Wendy made a move first. Thump! Wendy rushed into the room and slammed the door shut behind her.
