Chapter 1271

’You’re at the airport?” he asked. “How much longer is it going to take?” ‘Not very long, I guess.” Nicole looked at the time and realized that it had been half an hour.

She had figured that it would not take longer than that.

‘Okay. I’ll come over to pick you up now,” Martin said.

“Aren’t you busy?” she asked.

‘Don’t worry about that. Just wait for me at the airport.” Martin hung up after saying that.

The air marshal finally came out after some time, whereupon he went up to Nicole and said, “Excuse me, ma’am. That person has confessed everything.”

‘What did he say?” Nicole looked at the air marshal expectantly.

“According to his words, he said that he only had the idea of doing something he shouldn’t have done because of how pretty you look,” the air marshal said. “He’s willing to apologize and ask for your forgiveness.”

Nicole looked at the air marshal in disbelief. “Is that all?”

“Yes, ma’am. We have been looking into, and we can confirm that he wasn’t lying,” the air marshal said in a solemn tone of voice.

‘Impossible. I’m sure that he’s hiding something. The reasons he gave are ridiculous.” Nicole protested, unable to convince herself to believe that such was the outcome of the investigation.

‘How about this? I can bring you inside and talk to him personally if you don’t believe what he had said,” the air marshal suggested.

“Sure,” Nicole agreed, as she had been waiting for him to say that.

After entering the investigation room, Nicole made a beeline for the man and looked him right in the eyes. “You’re not going to fool me with those made-up explanations. I have my own ways to make you talk even if you wouldn’t tell me the truth here.”

“Lady, I’m admitting to what I have done. Please forgive me. I’m so sorry, but I really have no idea about the things you asked me about.” He began begging with a dejected look on his face.

Nicole ignored him as she felt that the man was just acting in front of the air marshal.

Then, she took a step closer to that person, and in an attempt to prevent the air marshals from hearing what she was about to say, she murmured, ‘I can let you go if you’d just whisper it to me now.”

“Lady, I honestly have no idea about what you’re talking about,” the man said.

Nicole looked him in the eyes. “Fine. I gave you the chance, but since you’re not taking it…’

Then, she turned around to face the air marshal. “I forgive him. Let him go.”

A smile immediately appeared on that person’s face as soon as he heard what Nicole had said. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

“You better not do that again!” the air marshal warned him.

“Yes, sir. I won’t!” he replied, after which he proceeded to leave in a hurry.

“Is it okay for me to leave now then?” Nicole asked the air marshal.

“Yes, ma’am. I’m so sorry for taking up your time.”

Nicole did not even look at the air marshal when he spoke as she went right out to follow that person.

That person immediately felt that somebody was following him after leaving the room, and he was right, as the moment he whirled around, he saw Nicole staring at him.

It was at that moment that he froze. ‘Hasn’t she forgiven me? Why is she following me now?’

So, he stood in place and waited for Nicole to approach him. Afraid to make eye contact, he quickly swept his eyes across in a fleeting glance at her. “Lady, I thought you’ve forgiven me. Why are you still coming after me?”

“And you’re right. Just keep walking. I’m heading in the same direction as you.” Nicole leered.

“After you then.” That person extended his arm, gesturing for Nicole to walk ahead first.

Nicole looked at him coldly. “No, I’m good.”
