After hanging up the phone, Nolan looked at the pile of new evidence in front of him.
During Peytonâs absence from Aelford City, Nolan devoted himself to tracking down the whereabouts of
the Poisonous Bug and investigating past events.
Nolan found Emanuelâs hometown, where it was said that the child had been missing for many days.
He obtained a photo of the child from the nearby villagers, who claimed that it was seven parts similar
to Caitlyn and three parts similar to Emanuel.
Emanuel also disappeared in this city.
Although Sun was not brought back, the childâs situation can prove everything.
So, the whole story about Caitlyn being pregnant with Kasonâs child. being pushed to a dead end, and
eventually suffering from mental illness and committing suicide, was a scam.
Someone blamed all of this on Kason.
The mastermind behind the scenes had already planned everything.
However, that person didnât seem to want to harm Nolan. His main goal was to ruin Nolan and Peytonâs
relationship.
In order to make Nolan and Peyton divorce, that person really went to great lengths, spending several
years, countless time and effort to set
1. up.
Most of the truth about the matter has come to light, but the most important part still remains hidden
beneath the surface.
Nolan thought, âWhat benefit does it bring to Peyton if we separate? Even if she is trying to get close to
me, there havenât been any other young women around me for the past two years.
â
âFurthermore, does Paulaâs death have anything to do with Kason?â
After reading these, Nolan turned to Lucian beside him and asked, âHas Kevin made any progress?â
âNo, he has been at the company these days and goes home after work. Besides occasional social
events, there is nothing special.â
âWhat about those people he socialized with?â
âWe had people watching, and currently no issues have been found. However, our bug should be
running out of battery soon.â
âMr. Dalton, I have been keeping an eye on that boy all week and havenât found anything suspicious.
Could it be that we were wrong in our assumptions? Maybe he really just wants to help his wife leave,
thatâs all.â
Nolan clasped his hands together, resting his chin on the back of his hand, with a serious and
indifferent expression. âNo, not being able to find the problem is the biggest problem.â
Kevin, a person who was not yet twenty years old, appeared very calm.
Even if Nolan was going to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, he showed no signs of fear on his
face.
Unless Kevin knew in advance that this consequence would not occur.
Nolan thought about Peytonâs actions that night. Even though Kevin
was standing further away, he almost simultaneously grabbed Peyton.
Kevin knew in advance what Peyton was going to do.
Nolan sighed helplessly and thought, âIn order to let me spare Kevin, Peyton actually staged a fake act
of being in distress.â
Even if Nolan exposed it, he was powerless.
Kevinâs deep and unpredictable scheming has already been witnessed by Nolan.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, Iâm afraid he had already figured out that we had tampered with him.â
Lucian was taken aback, âSo you mean to say that all this calmness in the past few days was just an
act put on by this guy for us to see?â
âDamn, this kid is really cunning! No wonder he always takes a detour after work. Sometimes he buys a
piece of cake, sometimes he buys some pastries, turns out he was just playing me!â
Nolan hummed lightly, âOver time, he would definitely reveal his true colors. If Peytie doesnât show up,
he will find a way. The initiative is in our hands.â
âMr. Dalton meantâ¦
âPeytie wanted to come back, so I had to clear the obstacles for her in advance.â
Lucian frowned, âBut we hadnât found the lair of the Poisonous Bug yet.â
âSince we couldnât catch the turtle in the jar, why not try luring the snake out of its hole?â
They have always been in a passive position, being led by others everywhere.
âProvoking a snake to come out of its hole? What can be used as bait?â
Nolan stood up, and his coat slipped off his shoulders. The tall figure standing in front of the desk
blocked the overhead light.
I could only outline his facial features, but I couldnât see the expression on his face.
Like a devil in the dark night.
He said, âI.â
At this moment, it was the Zhou familyâs courtyard.
Kevin played with a small bug in his palm until the bugâs battery ran out. Kevin smirked coldly, casually
threw the bug on the ground, and then stomped on it fiercely.
The bug was instantly crushed, and Kevinâs figure disappeared into the darkness.
