He didn’t want to get entangled in this web of complications, but he lacked the confidence to make Nathan fully believe his words.

Thinking of his unmarried daughter, Jeff couldn’t hold back his tears any longer, sobbing quietly with his head bowed.

“Nathan, your parents met a tragic end due to the internal struggles within the Payne family, implicating many individuals.

It’s understandable if you seek retribution against everyone.

I have no right to stop you.

But could you please give me some time to ensure Uma’s well-being first?”

Nathan felt a mix of annoyance and frustration, but he simply stared at Jeff with cold indifference.

Jeff couldn’t tell what Nathan had in mind.

He could feel the coolness flowing from him, though.

Jeff sighed, “I lack evidence to support my assertions, and it’s understandable if you don’t find me convincing.

I…”

Before Jeff could say anything more, Nathan ignored his grievances.

He turned and walked away, not turning around.

“Nathan?”

Nathan’s military uniform accentuated his broad shoulders, exuding an intimidating air that softened Jeff’s tone in response to his commanding presence.

Jeff was left baffled as Nathan remained unresponsive and exited the interrogation room.

Then Nathan’s deep voice echoed from outside.

His voice was barely above a whisper.

But in the hushed confines of the interrogation room, Jeff caught every word.

“Take Jeff back to the Paynes’ house and assign two officers to keep watch over him.

He mustn’t be allowed to leave without permission.

“Yes, sir.

Jeff’s reddened eyes widened in astonishment.

He was aging, having experienced a lot in life, yet at that moment, he couldn’t restrain his tears.

Did Nathan believe him? Was he willing to grant him clemency?

An indescribable swirl of emotions surged within Jeff-part relief, part excitement, and a lingering sense of guilt.
