Chapter 1425 The Investigation
For Nina, the most important thing she should do right then was to establish a good relationship with her grandfather. After I’m close with Grandpa, he’ll definitely agree to everything I say. Haha! Daddy, have you forgotten who I am? Unlike Maya, I’m not an honest person. I’m Nina, the wiser one. I guess I have to let you down again! However, you won’t have the reason to punish me no matter how disappointed you feel. Just wait and see!
Meanwhile, Juan gave Sally a call before heading to Xander’s place. “We’re going to start investigating Xander. I’ll pick you up now. You have to visit his place with me.”
“Why do you need me to follow you? He’s just a small fry.”
“Why? You don’t want to go? Are you afraid that Xander will expose you? You’re scared that we’ll find out your true colors, aren’t you? Or are you—”
“Nonsense. You’re really good at twisting the facts, huh? You want to use me for your investigation, but you insist on making a false accusation against me. How dare you still have the audacity to call me a cunning fox? You’re the most devious and pretentious person here!”
“Since you know that I’m no gentleman, you better stay obedient to me. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay for it. My wickedness knows no bounds!”
Sally snorted. “Do you think I’m frightened of you? The reason I promised to help you with the investigation isn’t that I’m scared of you. It’s just because your mother is a good person! She’s a kind and benevolent doctor, so she doesn’t deserve to be slandered like that! That has nothing to do with how evil you are. Also, let me give you a friendly reminder. I’m not a good person either. I can be even crueler if I want to!”
“Fine! Fine! We should stop threatening each other. I’ll go pick you up right now. We’re going to meet Xander.”
Sally was already waiting outside her apartment when Juan arrived in his car.
“Wow! You’re really waiting here? You’re so obedient!”
“Cut the crap. I don’t want to waste my precious time on you.”
“You’re talking to me in such an annoying manner again. I bet you would never act like this if Kyle was the one here instead. You’d definitely pretend to be a kind, caring lady in front of him. I know what you’re thinking. You want him to think of you as a good woman, right?”
Sally frowned. Kyle thought of her as a caring woman because they used to take care of Zachary and the elderly in Bernian Hospital.
She was sincere toward the patients, and she had never pretended to be kind. That was her true feeling.
However, Sally could not be bothered explaining all of those to Juan.
After all, she felt it was pointless to explain to someone who had been holding prejudices against her.
Besides, she knew that Juan had the reason to suspect her, since she had some ulterior motives toward the Seet family.
Suddenly, Sally received two text messages on her phone. She unlocked the screen impatiently. As soon as she finished reading them, she urged Juan, “I think we should stop arguing about that. Something more important came up!”
Juan glanced at her phone. He then drove in the direction of Xander’s house without saying anything.
However, as they arrived at Xander’s house, something unexpected happened.
“Why are there so many people?”
“They’re blocking our way. What’s going on? Let’s go down to have a look.”
Juan and Sally got off the car and walked straight toward the crowds.
After walking closer, they noticed that it was a crash site. The deceased had died terrifyingly on the spot. The crowd could not help but discuss the car accident.
“Such a poor thing! How did he get killed all of a sudden?”
“I know, right? A car appeared out of the blue and knocked that man over. That was scary!”
