Chapter 102

Perhaps... He never came in at all?

Nell tugged at her hair and rubbed her face.

The images of her dream faded away as her mind woke up, but her temples throbbed with the start of a headache.

She pressed her fingertips to her forehead and gently rubbed a few times before lifting the blanket and getting out of bed.

“Missus, you’re awake!”

Aunt Joyce just happened to come in and smiled at her.

Nell forced a smile. “I overslept. Why didn’t you wake me?”

“Sir said that you weren’t feeling well before he left, so he told us not to disturb you so you could rest longer.”

Nell was surprised.

She looked at Aunt Joyce who was all smiles, and asked, “Where did he sleep last night?”

“You didn’t know? He stayed up too late working last night and slept in the study itself.”

Nell was silent for a moment.

So he really did not come back.

An indescribably complicated feeling rose up in her heart. She did not know what was going on either.

She had clearly planned to guard her heart from the beginning, so she would not get stuck no matter the purpose and final outcome of this marriage.

However... Why did she feel lost?

Nell did not look well, and Aunt Joyce asked carefully after scanning her appearance. “Missus, would you like some breakfast?”

Nell came back to her senses and shook her head.

“It’s fine. I’ll go straight to the company.”

Perhaps because Gideon had sent Matthew in advance to notify, but the people in the company were not surprised even though Nell was late. It was as if they already knew about it.

When she arrived at the company, she handled her work as usual.

Throughout the day, Gideon did not send a single message or called her.

Nell tried her best to suppress the strange feeling in the heart. She knew that she could not ask for too much.

Their marriage had never been a union of love. Whether he had a girlfriend or not, or even whether he had children or not, in the end, it had nothing to do with her.

Therefore, she did not have to be upset or ask questions.

Yes. That was right.

Even though she was moved by him because of that incident, it was only a little.

Perhaps it was thanks to that that the heavens wanted to show her what she did not know in advance, to remind her of the truth.

Nell closed her eyes and scratched her head in vexation.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.

She frowned and picked it up. However, her expression immediately shifted when she saw the caller ID.

“Old K?”

“It’s me.”

The voice on the other end was hoarse and low. “I’ve gotten a rough sketch of what you asked me to look into for you, but it’s not convenient to say on the phone. When are you free? We’ll talk face to face!”

Nell’s breathing tightened abruptly.

The fingers holding the phone turned white from her grip. It took awhile for her to calm down.

“Alright. Send me the address and I’ll come meet you this afternoon.”

“Got it.”

In the afternoon, Nell left work early and went to the agreed cafe.

The one called Old K was a bald middle-aged man wearing sunglasses. He had arrived early and was sitting at a seat by the window.

Upon seeing Nell, he nodded at her.

Nell walked over and sat down across from him.

“How was it? What did you find?”

She was a little anxious and went straight to the point as soon as she settled into her seat.

Old K looked at her through his sunglasses and said in a low voice, “As you guessed, the car accident five years ago wasn’t an accident.”

Nell stiffened as her breathing hitched.

Old K pulled out a folder from his pocket and laid out some photos from it on the table.

“The wreckage of the car was cleaned up, but the traffic police brigade still kept the police records of the case in that year. I asked some of my connections to get detailed photos of the original accident. If you look here, you can see obvious cases of man-made sabotage.”

Nell looked carefully in the direction of his finger and saw that there was an obvious cut mark in one of the photos.

“This is... A brake pad?”

Old K nodded.

“During Ms. Morrison’s accident, not a lot of evidence could be found because the car was burned on the spot, but the police still took some photos of the wreckage.

“These were ones that I picked out from hundreds of others. The person who did this was very smart and knew that all evidence would be destroyed since the car would burn up. However, what they did not expect was that the car would break through the bridge guardrail when it was burning and plunge into the river. It ended up dousing some of the fire and leaving some evidence behind.”

Nell’s face was faintly pale.

Her eyes, which were always cold and quiet, were as quiet as an old well. No one could tell her current emotions.

“Who did it? Did you find out?”

Old K shook his head.

“I rushed to let you know the moment I got these photos. I didn’t have time to find the culprit”

“Will it be hard?”

“Most likely.”

He frowned. “Too much time has passed, and the people involved in this matter back then might not even be in Jincheng anymore. The people behind the scenes would not let the culprit stay back for others to catch. I’m guessing that all the loose ends had been tied up already. To investigate now would undoubtedly be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.”

Nell was silent.

After a moment, her eyes became icy cold.

“Actually, you don’t need to look into it. I already know who it is.”

She stared at the photo of the severed brake pad and sneered. “Whoever profited the most is naturally the murderer.”

Old K was quiet.

“What a shame. One more day without finding direct evidence is one more day we are unable to use justice to send that person to jail.”

Nell smiled coldly.

Justice?

So what if they could not use justice?

As long as it was proven that her mother was indeed murdered and not killed in an accident, Nell would find a way to get that pair of mother and daughter to tell the truth by themselves.

Her eyes swelled with ferocious hostility. Old K looked at her and fell silent for a moment.

“What are your plans now?”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 101 He Has A Daughter Nell said in a soft voice, “Of course, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!”

“You’re planning to work alone?”

“Is there a problem?”

Old K hesitated.

Nell looked at him and frowned. “When did you learn to stop talking in the middle of saying something?”

Old K. “...”

He said helplessly. “I heard that you’re with Gideon Leith now. Why not ask him for help? It’ll be effortless for him to destroy a little family like the Jennings.”

Nell smiled wryly.

Old K wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that her eyes grew colder than before at the mention of that man.

“I don’t need an outsider to interfere with my affairs.”

After a pause, she stood up. “Alright, thank you for informing me about this. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

Nell finished speaking and turned and walked away.

At the same time, a black Rolls-Royce passed by the cafe. The person in the car inadvertently glanced out the window and saw a familiar figure.

The woman was dressed in black and white casual clothes and wore a cap on her head. She walked out of the cafe with her head slightly lowered.

He paused slightly before ordering Matthew to stop the car.

He was about to get out of the car when he saw another man quickly walk out of the cafe and call out to her.
