The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 352

"You guys were actually standing right there, discussing your dinner plans. The whole group of you walked right past my car."

"Haha, bet you didn't expect that, right? Evelyn was in the trunk the entire time."

Weak, powerless, and watching in absolute despair as the only people who could save her walked further and further away.

Liam sneered. "Seeing her like that gave me an incredible rush. But at the same time, I knew I truly couldn't keep her anymore."

"So, I invited a bunch of people over to the apartment. I wanted to throw a grand farewell ceremony just for Evelyn."

Outside the glass, Nora instantly remembered the strange, prickling sensation of being watched in the parking garage that day.

"This guy is a total..."

Remembering her professional boundaries, Nora swallowed the curse before it could leave her lips.

The rest of the team remained dead silent.

Faced with a killer this depraved, they couldn't just scream and hurl insults like ordinary citizens.

A deathly quiet spread through the observation room.

Liam looked at Nathan with smug triumph, as if he had just won a major battle.

Nathan's dark eyes remained completely devoid of emotion. He tapped his fingers lightly against the table. "So, you also admit that you had your brother provide a false alibi for you that day?"

The smugness on Liam's face instantly froze over.

"W-What?"

Nathan stared him down, enunciating every word. "When you struck Evelyn with that heavy object, she didn't die immediately, did she?"

"She struggled in the apartment for a long time. She made that phone call in a desperate bid for help, but she was delirious and couldn't even remember who she dialed. Your brother found out and voluntarily stepped forward to claim he was her boyfriend."

Liam never expected Nathan to know about this. He sat there, utterly paralyzed.

How... how could he...

"Your brother has already confessed."

The case finally came to a close.

Nathan gathered the team for one last debriefing, organized all the evidence, and submitted the files. Liam was transferred to the prosecutor's office that very night to await trial.

After the meeting, Nathan asked around and learned that Nora had packed up early and headed down to the parking garage. He quickly grabbed his things and hurried out.

It was late, and the parking garage was dead quiet.

Nathan found Nora's car and spotted her curled up in the passenger seat.

A flash of concern crossed his eyes as he approached quickly. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"

Seeing him, Nora reached out her hands. Nathan seamlessly pulled her into his arms, letting her rest against his chest. His voice was impossibly gentle. "Overthinking again?"

"Is it because of what Liam said?"

Nora pressed her face tightly against Nathan's chest. Feeling the solid, comforting strength of his muscles, she shifted slightly until she could finally take a deep breath.

"When did you piece everything together?"
