In the car.
Floyd took out a stack of photos from the side.
"I got these from the police. They want to investigate openly, but we'll also do a private investigation.”
Nicole took the photos. When she saw that car, the image of Eric pushing her out of the way flashed in her mind.
How did he have the courage to run over when the car was easily charging towards them at 70 miles per hour?
Nicole's pale fingers trembled.
Grant sighed. "We owe Eric Ferguson twice now. Lil N, I'm afraid he won't let you go that easily...”
If Eric would give up on Nicole, why would he risk his life for her three to four times?
They could turn a blind eye if it only happened once, but it was increasingly hard to ignore.
Floyd closed his eyes. "He still can't expect Lil N to devote herself to him just because of this. Although I've begun to admire that boy, Lil N's wishes still come first."
Nicole pursed her lips. Her heart stalled as she lowered her eyes silently.
The next photo was of the person inside the scrapped car.
That was the person who wanted to kill Nicole.
It was a completely unfamiliar and ordinary face that would not catch any attention if placed in a crowd. His head was covered with blood. He did not fasten his seatbelt and slumped lifelessly on the steering wheel.
Seeing Nicole's frown, Grant explained, "He died on the spot. He was drunk, so the police tentatively classified it as drunk driving, but more than one million dollars was wired to his account from overseas, so they dare not close this case so easily."
"One million... For my life?" Nicole murmured.
'One million for Eric to die on my behalf?' Nicole thought about it and found it absurd.
Grant pursed his lips. "For a good-for-nothing alcoholic, this may be the only chance he has to get a million bucks in his life."
"Don't worry, Grant will get to the bottom of this. For your safety, you shouldn't go out for now. Even if you want to go out, take bodyguards with you. Otherwise, you might not be so lucky the next time."
Floyd looked at Nicole with a worried and tired gaze. His eyes were gloomy.
Grant nodded in agreement.
Nicole paused. "I can’t hide forever. Get me some bodyguards then."
