I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 665: The Good Person You Spoke Of (5)

Nathan Leafcastle lifted his face, his dark eyes fixed deeply on her, "So... you want me to give up the lawsuit?"

Vera Wave bit her lip, unable to speak.

She knew well that this request was somewhat unreasonable for Nathan Leafcastle.

When her father passed away, she too had difficulty accepting the reality, thinking in his shoes, if she were Nathan Leafcastle, would she believe it?

"I know you... you’re really upset." She lifted her face, "I swear on my honor, I’m truly not lying."

Nathan Leafcastle clenched his palm, his gaze met her eyes, then slowly loosened his fingers.

"If he didn’t do it, the law will give him justice."

"I know I shouldn’t make such a request, but... I..." She squatted down, held Nathan Leafcastle’s palm, "I’m begging you, okay? Don’t you trust me?"

"Vera!" Nathan Leafcastle suddenly lifted his face, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, I don’t trust him. Have you ever thought about why he appeared there, why he clashed with my mom... do you know what the autopsy report says?"

He raised his hand to point at his own face, "Someone slapped my mom, it was Kris Cooper..."

"This... there must be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding!" Nathan Leafcastle snorted coldly, standing up, "This is no misunderstanding, Kris Cooper has bad intentions from the start..."

"No, Brother Nathan, there must be a misunderstanding, he has no grudge against Aunt Zhou, he has no reason to do this, I know Kris, he’s not that kind of person."

"You know him?" Nathan Leafcastle furrowed his brow, grabbed her wrist, "How much do you know him? Do you know what he’s done, you’re completely clueless, yet you say you know him? Now my mom is lying in the morgue, and you say to let him go, why should I?! I originally thought he was good for you, now it seems I’m wrong, such a despicable, cold-blooded man, he doesn’t deserve you, this time I won’t let him go, absolutely not!"

Vera Wave winced from his grip, her brows knitted together, "How... can you say that about him, I’m telling you, he didn’t, he didn’t do it, he’s not that kind of person."

"Ha, he’s just like his father, both shameless scoundrels."

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Vera Wave flung his hand away, "Brother Nathan, I understand your feelings right now, and I know my request is indeed a bit excessive. But I won’t allow you to say that about him, nor will I allow you to slander Mr. Cooper, they’re good people!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Good people?!" Nathan Leafcastle sneered, "Do you know what they’ve done, yet you still call them good people."

"I don’t care what they’ve done, all I know is they’re good people." Vera Wave picked up her handbag from the ground, "I’m sorry, I... I’m leaving now."

She turned to walk toward the door.

"Stop!" Nathan Leafcastle shouted urgently, "You don’t know what they’ve done, do you? Fine, I’ll tell you now!"

Sally Dalton walked up, carrying a tray of freshly brewed tea, frowning as she spoke.

"Nathan, don’t say anymore."

"I have to tell her, I want her to see what kind of people those ’good people’ really are!" Nathan Leafcastle stood in the hallway, walking step by step toward Vera Wave, "Do you know who’s responsible for Walter Wave’s bankruptcy? It’s that ’good person’ you call, Christoper Cooper!"
