Nick was taken aback, his expression serious. “I’ve been occupied with secret investigations during the day, so I didn’t inquire about last night’s incident. I genuinely don’t know, but“”

He paused for a moment and looked apologetically at Sylvia as he explained, “I’m sorry, Sylvia. Because I was angry with you last night, I didn’t stop Ben from taking you away, leading to your suffering at the police bureau all night. But please believe me when I say that I haven’t changed. I’ll always be there for

you, Nick!”

With excitement in his voice, he reached out and held Sylvia’s delicate hand.

“Of course, I believe you.”

Sylvia replied with a smile. She calmly withdrew her hand and elegantly tucked her hair behind her ear. “By the way, my money has been in Evans’s possession for too long, and I won’t be content until I get it back. Nick, please assist me with that.”

Nick felt obliged to say, “Certainly, I’ll help you with anything you want to do.”

Sylvia smiled, her eyes filled with warmth.

The two of them chatted for a while, and it wasn’t until 8 o’clock in the evening that they finished their

meal.

Sylvia declined Nick’s offer to escort her and instead drove back to Cloud View Villa with Twelve and

Nineteen.

As she stepped into the backseat of the car, the smile on her face instantly froze.

The atmosphere inside the car was oppressively heavy, sending chills down her spine.

Twelve and Nineteen noticed her bad mood and wisely remained silent.

When they arrived at Cloud View Villa, Sylvia was surprised to see that the living room light was on.

She entered the house and found Patric sitting on the sofa, wearing a peculiar expression.

“Patric, what’s the matter?” Sylvia asked, blinking her eyes in confusion.

Patric pointed to the phone in his hand and said, “It’s Chris. He called you and you didn’t pick up. So he called me just then.”

Sylvia held her breath for a moment, her heart racing.
