“Yes.”
With that confirmation, Nora grew even more confused.
“What on earth is Elias’s girlfriend after?”
If she and Elias had finally gotten together after having a mutual crush, why would she start cheating on him right after they started dating?
And why would she try to mislead the Morel family into thinking Elias was murdered by someone else?
“The specific details require further investigation. What we know for now is that there is definitely something wrong with Elias’s suicide note. His reason for raping and murdering Olivia is absolutely not what he wrote.”
Nora nodded in understanding.
It was true; the explanation in Elias’s suicide note had been very flimsy.
“Then our next focus will be on the third party in Elias and his girlfriend’s relationship.”
“In addition, we also need to pay attention to…”
As Nora listened to everyone’s reports, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
She hadn't been sleeping well lately, and in this environment, her intense focus was only making her more exhausted.
A faint scent of cedar lingered in the air. Nora’s head drooped, bumping against something hard.
The impact hurt a little. Nora frowned, and just as she was debating whether to open her eyes, a hand gently patted her head.
When she was little, her mother, Grace, used to coax her to sleep just like that whenever she refused to nap.
A wave of familiarity washed over her, and Nora stopped struggling, quickly falling asleep.
In the conference room, everyone stared, dumbfounded, as Nora slept soundly on Nathan’s shoulder.
Acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary, Nathan made a gesture for them to dismiss. Everyone got the hint, quietly packing their things and leaving the room, glancing back repeatedly as they went.
Colin returned to his desk with his laptop and was immediately grabbed by the arm by a colleague before he could even sit down.
He turned his head to see the person say, “Hey, Colin, what’s the deal with the boss and Dr. Hayes?”
