The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 276

"Felix immediately sold the bid to a rival company, walking away with a massive payout."

He thought his crime was flawless, but nothing escaped Mr. Devereaux's watchful eye.

He played the role of a patient hunter, waiting until the funds officially cleared into Felix's account before laying his cards on the table. Felix hadn't expected everything to be a part of Mr. Devereaux's master plan. He panicked, slipped up constantly, and eventually confessed to every single detail.

His mother flew in specifically to beat the living daylights out of him.

Caught between her brother and her son, she was trapped in an impossible situation.

In the end, Mr. Devereaux made the call, sending Felix straight to the police to face justice.

"I suspected so many people, but never him."

Nolan's voice was hollow. "I asked him why he did it, and he told me my existence disgusted him."

Nora remained silent.

But she knew all too well that jealousy could destroy everything.

Nolan was born into a world of unimaginable wealth and privilege.

As his cousin, Felix had to sit and watch Nolan coast through life without a care in the world while having everything handed to him. Resentment was bound to build up over time.

"I don't care if he targets my family, but I just don't understand why he threw Rosalind's life away for nothing."

"He chatted with Rosalind on a burner account for years. Whenever they texted, it actually sounded like he liked her. She was even willing to elope with him and move abroad. If he didn't want to run away, fine, but he actually bribed someone in my circle to steal my... to get her pregnant through artificial insemination."

"What the hell was going through his head?"

Nora's response was sharp and decisive.

"He's an ignorant fool."

Nolan's grief stuttered to a halt.

"What?"

Nora elaborated, "Your cousin is uneducated, maybe even entirely uncivilized."
