Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2233

As soon as Troy finished his question, he received a death glare from Nathaniel.

Troy quickly backtracked and said, "Mr. Nicholls, I was just kidding! You usually assign these tasks to me, and since I know nothing about this, it clearly wasn't your doing!"

Nathaniel's expression softened slightly. "When Mavis returns, tell her exactly that."

"Understood!"

Just as he finished speaking, Mavis opened the car door and froze at the entrance.

Troy, looking embarrassed, tried to explain, "Mrs. Nicholls, please don't misunderstand. Mr. Nicholls and I…"

Mavis interrupted with a cold snort. "Bad timing. I just overheard you two plotting to deceive me."

Troy was breaking out in cold sweat, wondering how the situation had suddenly worsened.

Nathaniel was fuming with anger but held back as best as he could, uttering, "Mavis, you've never trusted me."

"It's your own misdeeds that make you untrustworthy."

The anger was real and intense.

Faced with Mavis's icy stare, this false accusation felt like it was stuck to him, impossible to shake off.

"If you insist this was my doing, where's your evidence?"

"I've already called the police. The National Investigation Bureau will quickly look into this matter, and we'll soon find out if it was you or not."

Troy tried to explain, "Mrs. Nicholls, you're really misunderstanding Mr. Nicholls. He didn't do it this time. Besides, Mr. Nicholls has a military background. If he had done it, it would have been flawless. The National Investigation Bureau wouldn't find any evidence. But last time, when you accused him, he didn't deny it at all. This time, he's denying it, which means…"

Mavis only caught a few keywords and interrupted with a cold laugh. "I underestimated your abilities. I shouldn't have expected the National Investigation Bureau to uncover the truth. You've probably already erased all traces. You're truly shameless."

Nathaniel was bewildered and glared at Troy.

Troy felt wronged too.

That was not what he meant at all, but everything was taking a turn for the worse.

While the high-quality car glass did not shatter, Nathaniel's hand was bleeding. Troy hurriedly found the small first aid kit in the car and moved to the back seat to bandage Nathaniel's hand.

"Please don't get so worked up or hurt yourself. If Mrs. Nicholls doesn't believe you, you should find a way to prove your innocence instead of not explaining anything."

He was even more anxious about the couple's conflict than Nathaniel himself.

The pain was sharp as the alcohol was poured on the bloody knuckles, seemingly reaching straight to his heart with an unbearable ache. However, the discomfort seemed to clear Nathaniel's mind.

He instructed Troy, "Send people to look for Evan's whereabouts. Start with the airport surveillance footage from the day he was supposed to board. Let me know immediately if you find anything."

"Yes, I'll get right on it."

…

With the National Investigation Bureau on the case, the investigation progressed quickly. By noon the next day, they had pinpointed Evan's location.

The Nicholls family's men, following the National Investigation Bureau's lead, also found Evan's location.
