The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 92

For a moment, he forgot to answer Nathan's question.

It wasn't until he saw Nathan frown that he snapped out of it. He thought for a moment before speaking. "I don't think anything happened..."

"What kind of thing are you referring to, Officer?"

"Anything that might have caused a commotion."

Nathan's tone was cold, and his eyes never left the crowd as he spoke to the manager.

"Ever since the news of Chloe's death arrived, the factory has been in an uproar… No one can believe Chloe would die, let alone that she was…"

"Officer, I was reluctant to take that girl, Chloe, at first. She was just too young! But her stepmother just dumped her at our factory gate with a bedroll and a few changes of clothes. The girl didn't have a penny to her name, and even the shoes on her feet were torn. I only took her in because I felt sorry for her; I had no other choice."

"She learned things quickly and said she wanted to earn money to save up for school. I figured it was a good deed, so I agreed."

"We work in two shifts here. She'd work during the day and study at night, or work at night and study during the day. She only slept a few hours each day, a really hardworking girl. A month ago, she told me she had saved up enough to go back to school. I was so happy for her. I even gave her a thousand-dollar bonus, hoping it would help cover her books and meals."

"I never thought…"

"That girl just had bad luck. How could she run into a robber?"

Nathan's brow twitched. "Who told you she ran into a robber?"

The manager's lips trembled. He asked with a mix of surprise and fear, "Wasn't that it?"

"Who else would want to harm her? That girl barely interacted with anyone at the factory. She was always on her own, focused on her studies. It's not like she could have made any enemies."
