Chapter 739

    The others kept shooting him looks that practically screamed, "Are you seriously buying your own story?"


    Officer Baldwin finally gave up and plopped down into his seat with a sigh.


    Then, out of nowhere, the quiet and unassuming records keeper, who''d been sitting silently in the corner, dropped a bombshell: "I''m with Officer Baldwin on this. I really think No. 13 is genuinely trying to help."


    All eyes snapped to him. Unlike Officer Baldwin''s gut feeling, this guy came armed with facts. "You''ve all missed something crucial: No. 13''s past. He was kidnapped as a kid. I reckon that because he''s been through such hell, he''s motivated to help us save kids in simr situations."


    The room went quiet as everyone exchanged nces, their fierce debates about No. 13''s character suddenly morphing into nods of understanding.


    "Turns out, No. 13 isn''t the cold-hearted viin we pegged him for. Getting him on our side is a must."


    "If he''s got a soft spot for kidnapped kids, maybe there''s more to his past actions than meets the eye," Officer Baldwin mused, his view on No. 13 doing aplete 180.


    In the end, they took a vote, and the majority agreed to let No. 13 lend a hand in the investigation.


    Over at the Stewart Estate...


    When the gifts were sent back yet again, Nathalie waspletely stumped.


    Lizzy pouted, muttering, "Sure, I get it if he snubs everyday stuff, being the rich heir and all. But these limited edition gifts? Why reject those?"


    Nathalie stared at the pile of gifts, lost in thought.


    "What a peculiar guy," Lizzy chimed in.


    Nathalie looked over the fancy gifts once more. "Even thesevish gifts didn''t win him over. What does he really like?"


    Lizzy''s eyes widened. "Sis, you''re not seriously thinking of sending more gifts, are you?"


    Nathalie replied, "I need his help, so I''ve got to keep at it until I win him over."


    Lizzy said, "But he already told us to stop bothering him."


    Nathalie asked, "Did he say why he refused them?"


    "Nope."


    After a moment, Nathalie decided, "Then we''ll keep sending them."


    Lizzy sighed, "You two are so simr, both stubborn as mules."


    Determination shed in Nathalie''s eyes-she was not going to

    At the Dawson family mansion...


    Cameron was having a perfectly pleasant dinner with Nina, the setting serene and cozy.


    But then the maid had to go and break the peace. "Cameron, Madam came backst night."


    Cameron paused, his fork hovering mid-air.


    He looked up at the maid. "If she''s back, why wasn''t she called to join us for dinner?"

    The maid shot a nce at Nina, then cautiously exined, "For some reason, Madam saw the mess in the livingroom and was visibly upset. She left that very night."  swnovel


    Cameron frowned. "The living room''s mess is a one-off. Is she really that bothered by it?"


    In a low voice, the maid added, "Madam sighed and said, ''The while the streets
