Chapter 293

Herman had been having a pretty lousy couple of days.

He had been secretly investigating Naylor due to lack of solid proof…

Throughout this undercover investigation, he had been a whirlwind of emotions, almost bursting into Naylor’s office a few times to confront him, to find out if his suspicions are true and why they would be.

But he had to suppress his urges, keep his cool, endure to the brink, all in the name of gathering solid evidence.

Whether Naylor is guilty or not, he needs an answer backed by proof.

However, reality hasn’t been playing out as he’d hoped.

He’s sifted through all the cases Naylor’s handled in the past, and the deeper he digs, the more tangled up it gets with the Martin family. Even though there’s no direct evidence in those cases linking Naylor and the Martin family, the Martins keep popping up, and the hidden connections are bound to surface sooner or later.

For the first time, the case is making progress, but Herman felt far from relaxed or excited.

One afternoon, after going through a batch of files, Herman headed to the rooftop for a smoke.

Just as he was halfway through, Naylor, in his uniform, suddenly showed up too.

Herman had been avoiding him for days and seeing him now has a surprisingly calming effect.

He watched Naylor approach, lets his gaze linger on Naylor’s composed face for a moment, then softly greeted, “Sir.”

Naylor ambled over and cracked a small smile, “Saw your team in the canteen, they said you’ve barely been eating these days, just smoking a lot. Figured I’d find you here.”
