My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 610

"Madam Angelica, I'm Natalia. I'm 19 this year!" Upon hearing Angelica address her as a kid, Natalia responded with a peculiar tone.

"Madam?" Angelica's hands tightened on the steering wheel, nearly causing a collision with the car in front. She was only 24 years old, yet this woman called her Madam?

In the end, Angelica just brushed it off. She did not know the young woman's relationship with Nash. There was no need to lower herself to her level. As an inspector, she needed to maintain a good image.

Nash lounged comfortably at the back and casually asked, "You haven't told me who sent you to kill Rowan."

Angelica could not help but smile when she heard that. "So, you're an assassin. Looks like I'll have to investigate you when I go back."

"Tsk, you won't find anything, Madam Angelica. Don't waste your time!" Natalia shot back while maintaining her calm. Her tone was even somewhat mocking. This was her first mission, and she had failed. What was there to investigate?

"At least the charge of attempted homicide might stick," Angelica said as she looked at Natalia through the rearview mirror.

The moment she said this, Natalia seemed a bit flustered. She bit her red lip, lowered her head, and pretended to sob. “Miss Angelica, you don’t know this, but I've been an orphan since I was a young child.

"My grandfather struggled to raise me by collecting junk, and the money he earned only covered my high school education. Recently, my grandfather, he…” Natalia could not help but feel tears well up in her eyes at this point.

When she heard this, Angelica’s expression softened a lot. "You... You're not lying to me, right?" Despite thinking that Natalia was lying, her tearful appearance made it hard to believe Natalia was deceiving her.

Natalia's eyes were red from crying, and she looked at Angelica pitifully, saying, "I’m not lying to you. I had to borrow money from my neighbors to arrange my grandfather's funeral. They even threatened to sell me off if I couldn't repay the debt.

"I was forced by my circumstances to take on the assassination gig. This is my first mission!"
