And there was only one man who could pull that off.


    Norton was behind this.


    Nathan frowned as his fingers clutched the dagger’s hilt.


    He waspletely overwhelmed by hisplicated feelings.


    He only shook off his musings when Larry walked up to him.


    “You don’t look well,” Larry remarked quietly.


    “Are you all right, sir? Would you like to head back and get some rest?”


    Nathan looked at Larry, his face nk, and handed the dagger over.


    “Mylo tried to murder me with this.


    Put it in his case report, and I will deal with it in theing days.


    ”


    Larry bowed respectfully.


    “Understood.


    “


    Nathan strode away, his military boots falling heavily on the floor as he made his way back to his office.


    Lucinda was sittingfortably on the couch, sipping coffee while waiting for him.


    “How did it go?” she asked as he walked through the door.


    “What did Mylo say?”


    Nathan took his coat off, his expression grim.


    “Mylo said that the car ident was not really an ident, but a deliberate murder.


    He imed that Jeff was behind the incident.


    ”


    Lucinda blinked in surprise.


    “Jeff? But how is that possible?”


    Jeff was Uma’s father.


    Lucinda didn’t know him well, but Jeff had spoken up for Nathan when thetter was condemned by his own family.


    From what little Lucinda knew of Jeff, she pegged him to be honest and kind.


    Besides, Jeff had never been involved in the rivalry between Nathan and Mylo.


    By all ounts, he was just an old man who wanted to spend his retirement days in peace.


    How could he have murdered Nathan’s parents?


    Nathan drew close to Lucinda and stroked her face.


    “I see that you have trouble believing it.


    I don’t believe it, either.


    ”


    “We’ve heard twopletely different confessions tonight,” Lucinda said in a cautious tone.


    “Who do you think is lying? Or perhaps… Both Mylo and Grandpa could be lying.


    ”


    Nathan considered it for a moment.


    le’ll have to look into these matters.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    There are too many contradictions between the two ims.


    We can’t afford to rely on guesswork.


    We need tangible proof.


    ” Lucinda nodded in agreement.


    “What do we do now? Where do we start?”


    “ording to Mylo, Jeff nned everything, and Grandpa lied to protect him.


    I suppose we’ll have to talk to Jeff first, and Listen to what he has to say.


    ”


    Something suddenly urred to Lucinda, and she stiffened.


    “What is it, honey?” Nathan asked in concern.


    “I tried to gather some information yesterday, and my first thought was to ask Jeff about what he knew.


    But Uma told me that he isn’t in Stastle.


    He is on a business trip.


    She’s not sure when he’sing back.
