Chapter 300
"So, you saw Nova and thought I was behind it? Not a tough leap to make."
Eliza's eyes were deep, avoiding his gaze and any admission. "I didn't suspect you; you had no reason to kidnap Brock. But if Nova's alive, she might come back for revenge."
Casper's dark eyes dimmed. If Nova was truly alive, his first order of business would be dealing with her.
"I'll have Dillon look into it."
Dillon, upon receiving the message, was stunned for a while before asking Casper uncertainly, "Mr. Casper, you think Nova might still be alive? But... I shot her straight in the heart. Even if that didn't kill her, tossing her into the open sea should've drowned her. How could she still be alive?"
"How are you struggling to figure out something so simple?"
Casper was growing increasingly frustrated with Dillon's slowness. Lately, Dillon had been so dense that Casper wondered if he was lovesick.
Dillon furrowed his brows, nodding. "I don't quite get it."
"Someone must have rescued her. You left, and someone else came to save her; naturally, she didn't die."
Dillon scratched his head, still puzzled. "But who would do that to her? She has no family, no friends..."
"It was Aaron."
No one else but him would have rescued Nova. Aaron and Nova had known each other before she met Casper. Aaron must have had his reasons for rescuing Nova. "Dillon, check what dirty work Nova did for Aaron after she was rescued."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Understood."
As Dillon turned to leave, Casper called him back, "After you've found out, bring her to me."
"Got it."
On Friday, Dillon came to see Casper with the information he had gathered.
"Mr. Casper, Aaron and Nova's relationship wasn't exactly clean."
Casper pressed his brows together. "What do you mean by 'not clean?"
"Before she met you, Nova had actually been involved in an illicit relationship with Aaron for years. When Miss May jumped off the building while pregnant, Nova was at the scene. I suspect she had something to do with it."
Nova was probably Aaron's pawn.
Dillon had conducted a thorough investigation this time.
"Aaron had secured many of the Martin family's projects that involved money and sexual transactions. Don't be fooled by Nova's limp; she's quite skilled in those matters and has done quite a bit for Aaron.
"Later, Aaron had Nova pose as your
wife, and during the years you've been infatuated with her, they didn't stop their illicit affairs. Aaron was always Nova's sugar daddy, and Nova was nothing but his lapdog.

"After rescuing her from the open sea, Aaron kept her hidden in the Pink Mansion, basically acting as her pimp. She lived under an alias, and whenever there were important guests, she'd take care of them. She didn't dare disobey.
"Aaron must have instigated this recent kidnapping as well."
Aaron wanted to play the hero, regaining his standing and trust in Eliza's eyes.
Clearly, Eliza had her suspicions.
Dillon had guessed what Casper had also figured out.
"Where is she?" Casper's tone was harsh.
"She's here."
Soon, Dillon dragged Nova into Casper's office.
Nova had become much more haggard over the past three years. She seemed even more timid. Fear made her tremble like a leaf. Casper loosened his tie and walked slowly towards Nova.
"Long time no see, Ms. Nova."
