chapter 229

Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Sudvilla. Suzanne followed Nathan out of the car and into the living room.

They had just settled down when Cole hurried over, holding a dozen or so listening devices in his hands. His face was pale, filled with nervousness and anger. "General Morrison, take a look at this." Nathan frowned, looking at the pile of listening devices. His expression changed drastically, while his gaze turned even colder.

Suzanne was also shocked, looking at Cole and then at Nathan, feeling lost and confused.

The air suddenly became stern and serious.

The search team conducted a thorough search including the garden and lawn to ensure there were no other bugs. After reporting to

Nathan, they left promptly.

Anxiously, Suzanne asked, "Who installed these?"

Cole looked uneasy, shaking his lightly, while Nathan smirked mysteriously, remaining silent.

He felt ashamed and angry at his own incompetence and ignorance. He was quite sure about the true identity of the culprit. To follow the trail, he couldn't tip his hand. Seeing Nathan lost in thought and ignoring her, Suzanne pressed on,

Could it be Sally?"

Nathan looked up with a mysterious gaze and whispered, "Chubs, you need to act like you don't know anything. Don't make a fuss, don't question, and don't investigate." "Why?"

Nathan coaxed her, "Just listen to me, don't ask."

Cole nodded. "Yes,"

"You can go now."

After bidding farewell, Cole left with the equipment.

Her heartbeat accelerated, her cheeks warmed up, and she felt at a loss, avoiding his gaze.

Suzanne felt suddenly awkward. She didn't know when it started, but Nathan's gaze toward her had become very different.

His intense and passionate stare always seemed to lay bare his feelings, leaving her confused, unwittingly creating illusions in her

mind.

Nathan noticed Suzanne's cheeks flushing for some reason, and her gaze was evasive. He chuckled softly. "Are you feeling hot?"

Suzanne shook her head. "No."

Nathan glanced at his watch; it was only 10:00 am. "Do you want to fead?"

Suzanne looked at the array of books in front of her, pursing her lips. and nodding.

Nathan then stood up. "Pick a book and come to the study."

Suzanne also stood up, feeling somewhat awkward. "No need. I'll just read in the living room.”

Nathan's tone was light as he insi

Suzanne felt bewildered. She blinked and stared at him incredulously.
