The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 275

Nora nodded. "That's good."

"So the Devereaux Group is in the clear?"

"Yeah."

Nathan continued, "Honestly, they were never really in any actual danger."

"The initial wave of public outrage was intense, but once the company's PR team and the police released a joint statement clearing their name, the toxic rumors disappeared on their own."

"Besides, the kidnapping made major headlines."

"Anyone with half a brain could see what was really going on."

Nora's expression grew serious.

"Compared to our usual cases, the crime itself was incredibly simple."

"But the web of relationships behind it is a massive mess."

Nathan met her gaze, his eyes dark with meaning. "Exactly."

"For Rosalind to get ahold of Nolan's DNA, someone in his inner circle had to betray him. There's no way she could have gotten her hands on that otherwise."

"When you two were kidnapped, the mastermind demanded the kidnapper stall for time, which was an obvious attempt to weaponize public opinion against the Devereaux Group."

"Which means there's a mole inside the company, too."

"But that falls outside the scope of our investigation. The kidnapper has been handed over to the Prosecutor's Office, so we don't need to follow up on the rest."

Nora nodded. "I hope Mr. Devereaux stays on high alert and catches the traitors inside his family and his company soon."

Otherwise, a disaster like the gala could easily happen again.

"Don't worry. The older the ginger, the spicier the bite. From what I hear, Mr. Devereaux has already made his move."

"We should hear something in a few days."

Nora wasn't surprised that he had this kind of insider information.

Given Nathan's background, having connections in the business world was entirely expected.

She trusted his judgment and was ready to just sit back and watch the drama unfold.

Three days later, on the day Nora was finally cleared for discharge, she got a call from Nolan.

"Nora..."

His voice trembled, as if he had just been struck by a devastating blow.

"I just can't believe he would do something like this..."

Nolan's entire reality was shattering.

He was closer to his cousin than he was to his own two sisters.

He had trusted the man implicitly his whole life.

Yet the person stabbing him in the back turned out to be his own cousin.

"How did you guys catch him?"

Nolan clearly considered Nora a true friend, revealing the entire story without a second thought.

The day the kidnapper called, Mr. Devereaux instantly grew suspicious of his inner circle.

He played it cool, pretending to be a desperate father who had completely lost his mind with worry over his son.

When he rushed to the scene, he deliberately left the company seemingly unguarded, setting a massive trap.

"Felix stole the bidding documents for one of our key projects."

"My dad was dead set on winning that contract, and the entire company had been working overtime on it for weeks."
