Chapter 219

In the past, Zach disliked Louver. Now, on reflection, he didn't dislike him that much. After all, Louver was young, good-looking, and liked Skylar; with Skylar's willingness, everything was fine.

“Regarding Nina, do you have any thoughts?” Zach felt this matter was quite strange. Since the man who hurt Nina was targeting the Miller family, it must relate to Elvira. The other possibility was to frame him, but there was no point. He couldn't be blamed for something he hadn't done. Who would be so crazy for Elvira?

Zach had already sent people to investigate. For now, they hadn't found any useful information. Those men seemed to have appeared and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

“What can I think? Even if Nina deserved to die, I don’t agree with those people’s methods,” Elvira shook her head. She truly didn't know what was going on, let alone who did it.

“Honey, thank you for believing that I am innocent,” Zach hugged her gently, letting her lean against his chest with a gentle smile.

“Of course. I believe you. You are the person closest to me. If I don’t believe you, who else can I trust? Your scumbag father? That’s a joke,” Elvira held his chin gently and smiled.

I have to say, that person did something I couldn’t. I don’t want to let anyone from the Miller family off. Nina has received the punishment she deserves. This is good. The whole Miller family is getting what they deserve. Zach felt this result wasn't bad.

“Then shouldn’t your scumbag father and his mistress go and cause trouble?” Elvira felt this was a certainty. She reckoned Zach would have a headache later.

“The only thing they can do is make a scene. They’re just a toothless tiger. Don’t worry,” Zach didn’t care about them at all.

“Does your wound still hurt? Can you sleep?” Zach touched her injured arm gently.

“It still hurts a little. I can sleep if you hug me and tell me stories,” Elvira rubbed against his chest and closed her eyes contentedly.

Zach took his phone, found a fairy tale, and read it to her. After three stories, Elvira was asleep.

The next day, Elvira received a call from Cole. There was a tricky matter she had to handle personally, so she went to the company, accompanied by Zach. After arriving, Elvira asked Zach to attend to his own business, and they separated.

Elvira went to her office. Cole followed her in. Seeing she didn't look well, Cole worriedly asked, “Are your injuries quite serious?”

“No, it’s just a superficial wound. It’s a little painful, but no big deal. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. Let me take a look at the proposal,” Elvira gestured to Cole.

Cole opened a cooperation agreement and placed it before her. Elvira sat down and examined it carefully. Cole had been staring at her. Sensing this, Elvira raised her head and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Nothing. It’s just that Carmen didn’t come to the office again,” Cale reported to her.

“Oh, she sent me a message and resigned. She won’t be coming anymore. If you’re short of manpower, find another person to take her place,” Elvira said indifferently.

“So, she was the one who planned what happened that day and almost killed you?” Cole looked at Elvira with certainty.

Elvira sensed Cole was repeatedly confirming this. He seemed to care deeply. She said, “It’s a long story. She was Zach’s savior. When the assassin fired, she tried her best to pull me away. She didn’t expect anything to happen to me, so it was even between us. She has resigned and left. I don’t want to pursue it anymore.”

“Since she pulled you away, how did you get injured?” Cole pressed, unwilling to let go of this question.

“This was an accident. It has nothing to do with that matter, Cole, what happened to you?” Elvira was more concerned about his condition.

Cole lowered his eyelashes slightly, as if thinking. Elvira sensed he was in a bad mood, so she added, “I’m really fine. It’s just a superficial wound.”

“Take a look first. Ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand,” Cole stood up and left. Elvira could tell he was unhappy. Elvira wanted to say something, but didn't know what else she could say. She could only watch him leave. She felt Cole was a little strange lately; he’d changed too much, making her uncomfortable.

Elvira’s phone rang. It was Leonard. She answered to see what he wanted; after all, she’d spent a lot of money hiring him to protect her.

“You picked it up pretty quickly this time,” Leonard said teasingly.

“If you have something to say, say it. Don’t call me if there’s nothing else,” Elvira was a little unhappy and spoke harshly.

“Who provoked you? Forget it. I’m calling you to tell you something. Do you want to know who hurt Nina?” Leonard asked.

“You know who did it? Could it be you?” Elvira asked coldly.

“Of course it’s not me. Nina is my cousin after all. How could I do such a beastly thing? I do things openly, alright?” Leonard retorted immediately.

“Is that so? Then is it fair for you to secretly take photos of me?”

Leonard was speechless for a while.

“Do you want to know or not? If you don’t want to know, then forget it,” Leonard was truly angered by her.

“If you want to tell me, say it quickly. If you don’t want to tell me, hold it in,” Elvira could tell he really wanted to tell her. “Alright, you’re good. I’m telling you, don’t scare me. The person who hurt Nina is your sidekick.”

“I don’t have any sidekicks,” Elvira was confused.

“Isn’t Cole your sidekick? He did all that to Nina. He was sinister and ruthless. Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover,” Leonard lamented.

“Nonsense! It can’t be him! Where did you get this information from? How dare you slander Cole? Don’t go too far!” Elvira retorted agitatedly. How could it be Cole? It was totally impossible.

When Leonard heard her say this, he was also angry. He said angrily, “If you don’t believe me, just ask him. If it’s not him, I’ll take your surname! Believe it or not!”

Beep, beep, beep…

The call was hung up, but Elvira was so angry she felt dizzy; her chest heaved violently, and she cursed Leonard for being crazy. He actually spouted nonsense and badmouthed Cole in front of her. Did he not know how close her relationship with Cole was? She would rather believe it was a show prepared by Nina herself than believe that Cole had done it.
