Chapter 262 Eating is the Most Important

Jayson stood beside him, watching Nolan sweat profusely. Jayson’s face was filled with a gloomy

expression.

Last night, under the effect of sleeping pills, Nolan finally managed to fall asleep. Throughout the night,

he kept murmuring.

“Mr. Dalton, did you have a nightmare?”

Nolan just woke up. His voice was hoarse. “I had a bad feeling.”

“Probably too many things happened recently…”

Nolan coldly interrupted Jayson’s consolation. “You should thoroughly investigate each checkpoint. I’m

afraid Peytie might leave Aelford City.”

“Leave? But Mr. Schmitt is currently missing. He is the only person Mrs. Dalton cares about. How could

Mrs. Dalton leave at a time like this?”

“You said there were a total of four groups who robbed Kason that day. Could one of those groups be

hers?”

“I don’t think this is very likely. Mrs. Dalton has been alone all these years. How could she know any

mercenaries? Mr. Dalton, you weren’t present at the time, so you didn’t see those people killing without

hesitation.”

Nolan leaned against the bed, furrowing his brow. His expression was the usual indifference.

“Why can’t we find any trace of Peytie even though she was clearly in

Aelford City?”

“Mr. Dalton, are you saying that Mrs. Dalton had an assistant?”

“It is not ruled out.”

Nolan threw off the covers and went straight to the bathroom.

Where would Peyton hide? He searched everywhere he could think of.

Now mobile payment is so advanced. She doesn’t have any cash on her. He also can’t find her

transaction records. So how does she survive?

She must have had an assistant.

Who could it be?

Kadence hummed a song while walking in high heels. She felt even her boss, who used to exploit her

every day, seemed more pleasing.

During this period, Kadence did not eat properly. She was thinking about what to eat today.

Kadence heard that a new barbecue restaurant had opened next to the mall. Crisp and fresh lettuce

wrapped around fragrant and tender pork belly. Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

She slurped her saliva and turned the corner to see Nolan smoking against the wall.

Everyone else meets love around the corner. But she is different. She met a psychopath around the

corner.

Kadence hoped Nolan couldn’t see her as she stepped back.

She took a few steps and realized that she was still going around in circles.

Nolan grabbed her scarf, showing no gentlemanly manners. His ink- black eyes stared directly into

hers. His voice was cold. “Shall we talk?”

Kadence really wanted to shake off and refuse, but she didn’t dare to provoke Nolan.

It was strange that in the past, Nolan was always a proud and successful figure in the business world,

no matter when.

Today, Nolan looked very lonely, like a bachelor whose wife had left him. He carried a sense of

desolation within him.

A few minutes later, they sat face to face in the same position as last time.

Nolan handed the menu to Kadence, who was constantly shaking her leg, and generously said, “This

meal is on me. You can choose whatever you like.”

When it comes to eating, Kadence is too skilled. After all, her life motto is that eating is the most

important thing.

This was Nolan!

He treated everyone. It was a once–in–a–century occasion.

Kadence took a deep breath and pointed at the menu. “This one and this one.”

Nolan spoke, “You don’t have to be polite.”

Then he heard Kadence add, “Besides these two, serve me all the other dishes.”

Nolan was speechless.

Kadence smiled. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dalton. That’s just how I am.”

Nolan shrugged indifferently. “Serve the dishes as the lady ordered.”

Kadence cursed silently in her mind. Nolan was so wealthy. It was such a pity that Peyton divorced him

without taking advantage of it

once.

Change it to Kadence, she had to play a trick on him!

She had a proud smile on her face. “Mr. Dalton, you must not have come to see me today just to invite

me for a meal, right?”

Nolan asked coldly, “Have you seen Peytie?”
