âStop right there!â Nathan barked.
âSir, I have work to doâ¦â Sonny faltered.
Seeing his flustered expression, Nathan now had a rough idea about what happened last night.
âDo it later.
â
âOkayâ¦â
Then, Nathan turned to Valerie again.
âIâll investigate what really happened last night.
If I wronged you, Iâll reinstate your position as our spokesperson and help you recover your lost resources.
â
âThatâs it?â Valerie frowned unhappily.
âIâve suffered a huge loss here, Mr.
Payne.
Donât I deserve some kind of compensation?â
A trace of disgust flashed through Nathanâs eyes.
In a low, angry voice, he growled, âItâs unbecoming to be so greedy, Miss Garrett.
Please see this woman out.
â
âYes, sir,â the assistant replied.
As soon as the door was closed behind them, Sonny fell to his knees.
âsir, I swear Iâm innocent! I havenât even reported my bonus to the financial department yet.
Please! I was just an accomplice!â
âThen who was the mastermind?â Nathan asked coldly.
âIt was.
Sonny lowered his head, his trembling voice trailing off.
Last night, Lucinda had said that if Nathan found them out, then Sonny could pin all the blame on her.
After all, Nathan wouldnât dare to hurt her, but he could easily kill Sonny for this.
Sonny decisively raised his head and declared, âIt was Miss Simmons!â
âThe lipstick marks on your body-that was her.
The words on your chest? That was also her.
I just helped her a little!â
Nathan stared at Sonny in disbelief.
Soon, his doubt turned into fury.
âTell me everything that happened last night.
If you miss anything, Iâll take you to the interrogation room and help you recall every last detail Sonny could tell that this man wasnât joking.
âNo! I mean, of course Iâll tell you everything! I swear! Iâll tell you everything down to the last detail! Please donât take me to the interrogation room!â
