Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 456

The woman before her looked young, and her facial features could be considered beautiful if she did not look so emotionless. Her eyes betrayed a hint of coldness as she met Nell’s eyes.

The little girl beside the woman stared at Nell with her head tilted to the side. She looked as if she could not understand why Nell would stop them.

Nell stared back at them and felt her throat tightened. There were so many questions she wanted to ask, but she could not get any of them out.

“Are you Old K’s family?” Nell whispered after a while.

The woman’s expression shifted, and her gaze grew cautious.

“You know Old K?”

“I…” Nell paused just for a moment before she continued, “I’m his friend. I used to race with him…”

She did not even finish her sentence before the woman’s expression went cold.

“I see you’re from that place, huh? What? You couldn’t get anything out of me back in the country so you came here? What are you going to do next? Lock us up against our will and interrogate us?”

Nell was taken aback. She did not expect such a response from her.

Her gaze darkened immediately after that as if she had realized something.

“Are you saying someone is after you two?”

The woman stared at her and chuckled darkly. “Don’t try to pretend. You are the good guys and apparently the bad guys too. You think just because I won’t admit it I’m an idiot who will trust you and tell you everything? Keep dreaming.”

Nell’s expression fell.

“Miss, I think you misunderstood. I was Old K’s comrade, but I left Dragon Regiment a long time ago. I’m not too clear about what’s happening inside.

It’s not just you who is saddened by his death; I’m devastated too. I came to Country F just to find out the truth about his death. If you know anything, you have to let me know. Don’t worry. I’m not the same as those people you just mentioned. I just don’t want him to die such an uncertain death. I believe you and I are thinking the same thing. Am I right?”

The woman regarded her coldly. She did not speak for a while.

Nancy and Matthew came to Nell when they saw what was happening.

They all knew Old K’s story and how much effort Nell had put into uncovering the truth.

It was expected of her to ask for some useful clues now that she met Old K’s family. Those clues could be where they based their investigation around.

The two of them chimed in to help her. “Yeah, miss! You can trust us! We came all this way to clear up your husband’s death. You must want to know who killed him, right?”

Even then, the woman did not say a word.

She stared at the four of them in silence as the alarm in her eyes dissipated. There was not much trust or warmth in them though.

“There’s no need to do that. You don’t need to ask me any questions. I don’t know anything. He’s dead. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace with my daughter. We don’t want to be disturbed. Please just give up.”

With those words, the woman was ready to leave with her daughter.

Nell scrambled for something to say. “If you guys are concerned about your safety, we can protect you…”

The woman turned and gave her a sardonic smile.

“Protect us? Do you even know who they are? The people looking for us? How are you so sure that you can protect us?”

Matthew saw Nell hitting a snag and knew that he had to do something. “If you know who they are, why don’t you tell us so we can help you take them down? It’s definitely safer than facing them on your own.”

The woman remained silent for a moment.
