The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 299

"My wife passed away years ago, and Evelyn was the first woman I genuinely fell for in a long time. When she rejected me with that fiercely loyal speech about her boyfriend, my ego took a massive hit."

"So, when I heard they were house-hunting together, I casually recommended my own complex."

"I developed this place myself. The amenities are world-class, perfectly aligning with what they wanted in a starter home, so they signed the paperwork fast."

"When they first moved in, they really were the picture-perfect couple. They went everywhere together, leaving a solid impression on all the other wealthy residents."

"But it didn't last. Liam lost his job. Apparently, he had a stellar degree, climbed the corporate ladder straight into management, and then got fired out of absolutely nowhere."

"He spiraled after that. He never left the apartment. He just sat on the balcony all day, staring blankly. Honestly, everyone was terrified he was going to jump and completely tank the property values. Building management complained to me so many times that I figured, since I knew Evelyn, I'd step in and mediate."

"I asked Evelyn out for coffee to talk about it. But Liam tracked us down within minutes and punched me square in the jaw."

Mr. Lawson tapped his chin indignantly. "Look here, officers. You can probably still see the bruising."

"After Liam dragged Evelyn back home, they didn't step outside for days. The neighbors above and below them complained constantly. If they weren't screaming at each other, they were smashing things. The constant crashing sounds were driving everyone insane."

"Management went up there several times. Every single time, someone answered the door and promised to keep it down, only for a massive blowout to erupt an hour later."

Nathan gave Mr. Lawson a deeply calculating look.

He had pegged the billionaire as shady from the start, but he hadn't expected him to spill such crucial details so easily.

Even if the timeline needed verification, Mr. Lawson's account proved definitively that Liam's sworn police statement was a total fabrication.

"Liam told us he was just Evelyn's neighbor. What's that about?"

Mr. Lawson rolled his eyes dramatically, completely unfazed.

"They were incredibly toxic. On again, off again. Evelyn always bragged that they had been together for years."
