The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 421

Sofia stood off to the side, her palms slick with sweat.

When the officers reached the living room, they spotted the fake documents scattered everywhere. One of them bent down, picked up a file, flipped through a few pages, and then eyed the two water glasses sitting on the coffee table. His expression grew even more serious.

“What are these documents?” Frank asked, lifting one of the fake agreements as he looked at Sofia.

Her heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the coffee table, quietly cursing Nathaniel. He’d left in such a hurry he hadn’t even bothered to take the evidence with him.

“That’s... just some old paperwork from a project at work,” she managed. “It’s useless, I just haven’t gotten around to throwing it out yet.”

Frank didn’t push further, but he gave her a long, searching look.

After more than half an hour of searching every corner of the apartment, the officers came up empty. There was no sign of Nathaniel.

“Captain, there’s no trace of the suspect,” one of the officers reported.

Frank’s brow tightened. He had been sure Nathaniel was hiding here. How could he just disappear? He turned to Sofia, watching her carefully. “Ms. Meyer, you’re certain Nathaniel hasn’t been here?”

“I really don’t know him. Why would he come here?” Sofia replied. Her eyes darted away for a split second, but her voice sounded steady.

Frank stared at her for a while, looking for any hint of a lie, but her face gave nothing away. Finally, he told the team, “We’re done here.”
