Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1929

Nathaniel remained silent, already guessing what Elliot wanted to ask.

He had heard Elliot had visited the Nicholls residence before coming to Ralvista Waters.

Moreover, he knew that Elliot was a focused man who would not chase after something without good reason.

"What could be so important that it makes you come all this way? Does the National Investigation Bureau have a case involving me? I haven't done anything illegal recently."

Elliot smiled, clearly seeing through Nathaniel's act.

"Whether it involves you or not isn't for you to decide."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing much. I heard there was a gunfight here yesterday."

Nathaniel was surprised by how quickly Elliot got the news.

Thinking about Kristen, who had been shot and fell into the sea, he quietly refilled Elliot's tea.

"Your information network is impressive, but I doubt you came all this way just because of yesterday's gunfight."

Elliot took a slow sip of tea, his movements unhurried.

Nathaniel waited until he finished drinking before smiling wryly.

"Based on psychology, your actions just now were to probe me. Did you find what you were looking for?"

Elliot chuckled. "You were once the head of the Special Investigation Department, skilled in tactics and psychoanalysis. It's hard to hide anything from you."

The two of them continued their subtle verbal sparring.

After they finished their tea, Elliot finally got to the point. "I heard you recently took in a woman named Kristen Serrano?"

At this, Nathaniel's hands froze, his expression turning grim.

"Yes, she saved my life. Her parents died, and she only had her grandma, who also passed away. To repay her, I promised to take care of her."

"What kind of care?"

However, if he did not care, why had he left Mavis for her?

Elliot's suspicions deepened.

He cut to the chase and asked, "Before all this, did you know Kristen's true identity?"

Nathaniel shook his head. "I always thought she was just a simple woman from a small fishing village. She disappeared a while back, claiming she went hiking, which didn't make sense. Later, she was caught stealing confidential files from the company, so I kicked her out. Then, the incident at the port happened…"

He recounted everything that had happened with Kristen recently.

"...It was only before she died that I learned who she really was."

Elliot observed that Nathaniel's mood was clearly affected by Kristen's death.

The trail of clues had been fully uncovered, but finding Declan's location would be difficult.

That place was chaotic, situated at the border between two countries, with complex terrain.

If a conflict erupted, it was uncertain who would come out on top.
