Chapter 365
Sheena did not mince her words and openly admitted, “Yes, if not for this, how else could i catch you?”
Nathaniel chuckled wryly. “When did you start being cautious around me?”
“Since you pulled out the revolver and demanded I choose between shooting Elijah and Jennifer. That’s when I sensed something was off.”
He stared at her, somewhat doubtful.
She remained expressionless, continuing, “It wasn’t until the last time you were leaving Farlem. I saw the person in black in the Eros Bar corridor and combined with the sulfuric acid incident that day, I began suspecting your connection with the Lawson family.”
Nathaniel managed a pale smile. “So that’s it.”
“Nate, you’ve been the only person I admired since childhood. Why would you want to kill me?

He shook his head, still denying, “I didn’t. When the Lawson family announced your death, you had no idea how devastated I was. I only found out you were alive half a month ago. I had to fake a cooperation to come to Farlem and see you.”
“If you still love me, I will fight against them for you. But… you’ve added an annoying dog to your side!”
“On the night at the bar, I stood on the second floor. I didn’t plan to take action until Elijah came in. I knew he would protect you, so I had to act. I didn’t mean to target you. How could I bear to let you get hurt?”
As he spoke, Nathaniel gazed at Sheena affectionately. Despite the bruises on his face, he was still incredibly handsome. Yet, Sheena had no time to appreciate his looks.
She scoffed and said, “Isn’t it ridiculous for you to say that? If he didn’t protect me, I would be the one injured right now, and you’re still claiming you weren’t targeting me.”
Her eyes grew colder, losing patience with the conversation. “Stop lying. I just want to know who from the Lawson family is trying to harm me. I won’t make things difficult for you if you
tell me.”
but that
person won’t.”
Nathaniel lowered his gaze, looking sad. “You might spare me,
“That person?” Sheena frowned. “Who are you talking about?”
Nathaniel met Sheena’s gaze and spoke with deep sorrow, “Nana, that little pet of yours isn’t a good guy. He’s been deceiving you with his acting, hiding more secrets than I have. Don’t fall for his tricks!”
“He has secrets, and I’ve always known. I just don’t bother to dig into them,” Sheena replied casually.
