Chapter 341

Nathaniel was stunned, and his expression turned serious as he explained, “I’ve been busy dealing with Special Investigation Department matters during the day, so I didn’t inquire about last night’s case. I genuinely didn’t know, but…”

He stopped mid–sentence, looking at Sheena and apologizing sincerely, “I’m sorry, Nana. I was upset with you last night, so I didn’t stop Maurice from taking you away, causing you to suffer at the police station all night. But you have to believe me, I haven’t changed. I’m always the same Nate you knew!”

As he spoke excitedly, he reached out to hold Sheena’s hand.

“I certainly believe you.” Sheena smiled, calmly retracting her hand, and elegantly adjusting her hair as she continued, “Nate, my money has been with the Carver Group for too long. It doesn’t feel right to leave it uncollected. I’ll need your help with this matter too.”

Nathaniel willingly agreed, “Of course! As long as it’s something you want to do, I’ll help.”

Sheena smiled sweetly, appearing coy.
