The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 379

"Are you saying they just yelled at you to get away at first?"

"Yeah..."

Sophie's eyes looked vacant. Being slapped with such a heavy accusation made her feel entirely helpless, staring into a bleak abyss.

Her voice was barely a whisper, thick with tears. "Nora, are they going to destroy me online?"

"I've heard Michael's fans are absolutely ruthless..."

"If they doxx me and spam my department with complaints, will I lose my job?"

"What if they harass my parents? They're old, they can't handle something like that!"

"Oh god, what if my neighbors get dragged into this mess... I swear I had no idea Michael Devereaux was in that car..."

Seeing Sophie spiraling into panic again, Nora could only gently rub her back to soothe her.

Until the official collision report and case details were finalized, empty reassurances were pointless.

Besides, a nagging instinct told her something about this whole situation was deeply flawed, even if she couldn't pinpoint it just yet.

"Captain Peyton."

An officer's voice rang out from the hallway. Nora looked up just as Nathan strode into the interrogation room, trailed by several others.

"Who are you?"

The moment Quinn laid eyes on Nathan, a flash of pure astonishment crossed her face.

She had seen countless gorgeous men in the entertainment industry, but the man before her was on an entirely different level.

No.

He was spectacular!

Hollywood had no shortage of rugged action stars or pretty-boy idols.

But she had spent her entire career managing talent and had never seen anyone like Nathan—flawless, striking features paired with an intensely commanding, explosive physicality!

Nathan nodded and gestured for Michael to take a seat, formally introducing the team behind him.

"This is Officer Lyons from the Traffic Division. The collision report has been finalized."

Hearing that, Nora immediately pulled Sophie up and walked over.

"Mr. Devereaux. Ms. Ziegler."

"Here is the official accident assessment."

"Based on our investigation, Ms. Ziegler is entirely at fault for the rear-end collision."

"The vehicle damage assessment has been handed over to the insurance adjusters. They'll provide a final compensation amount shortly."

"However, I must point out one detail."

Officer Lyons's face was grim. "Since the dashcam in your van, Mr. Devereaux, was broken, all the footage for this incident was pulled from Ms. Ziegler's vehicle, as well as traffic cameras and dashcams from passing cars."
