Chapter 96 Could It Be Him?
Nadine closed her eyes and forced the words out. “That’s why I need your help.
“Get that golden retriever out of here. If you can’t, just let it die inside.”
Her voice was cold and sharp, with a dark edge.
Max snorted. “You’re such a lousy partner.”

His eyes, usually warm and kind, now glinted with icy contempt. “I’ve done enough for you already, and you haven’t given me anything worthwhile in return.”
Nadine frowned, sensing something behind his words. “What do you want?”
Max didn’t waste time. He lifted his chin. “I’ll handle the mess with the golden retriever, but you need to find something close
to Finn.”
“What?”
Relieved the problem might be solved, Nadine let out a small breath.
“One year ago, Tess leaked some secret Lock Group files. Now that you’re the head of the legal department, finding them shouldn’t be hard.”
Max’s words only made Nadine more confused.c
She blinked, puzzled. “A year ago, Finn was furious and barely let Tess defend herself before throwing her in jail. What files could she possibly have leaked?”
Max’s expression turned serious. His usually casual tone grew sharp. “Charles probably has stuff we don’t know about.”
“Charles?”
Nadine’s voice rose in surprise as a youthful, serious face flashed through her mind.
A cold chill ran up her spine.

He probably found something!

Something felt off to her.
Max answered coldly, eyes shadowed, “Finn’s been looking into last year’s case lately.”
He stared at Nadine. “He doesn’t act without reason. If he’s making a move now, he must have found something.”
Those words made Nadine’s heart race.
Sweat broke out on her palms.
Although we handled everything back then, it wasn’t perfect. It only stayed hidden because Finn was too angry to dig deeper.
But what if he starts digging again?
