I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 531 - 529: Becoming Famous (Part 3)

Because of the island’s development, it caused quite a stir at the time, with Environmental Organization members even staging a protest, and later the government canceled the project.

Her family is also in the real estate circle, so Sally Dalton was naturally aware of such a large project.

"Oh, it’s... it’s like that!" Nathan Leafcastle put down the tray in his hand and took the documents from her, "We’re working on an island project recently, so I’m looking at similar projects."

As he spoke, he quickly closed the documents in hand, organizing them with other documents and deliberately pressing them to the bottom.

Due to his hasty movements, the documents slipped from his hand and scattered everywhere.

Sally Dalton quickly bent down to help him pick them up.

"No need, no need, I’ll do it!"

Nathan Leafcastle crouched down nervously, trying to pick up the documents.

Too late.

Sally Dalton looked at the document she picked up, her eyes caught the red-circled words, and her face grew serious.

"Walter Wave Real Estate? Ashton Group?! Nathan..." She looked up with a serious expression at Nathan Leafcastle, "What exactly are these documents?"

"This..."

The man hesitated, his face showing uncertainty.

Seeing his expression, Sally Dalton spoke softly, "If I’m not mistaken, Walter Wave Real Estate should be part of Vera’s family business, right?"

Nathan Leafcastle pursed his lips and nodded gently.

Saying nothing more, Sally Dalton just handed the document back to him and stood up.

"If you’re only with me because of what happened that night, actually... you really don’t have to." Sally Dalton took a deep breath, "I... don’t need you to be responsible for me!"

With that, she stepped towards the door.

Nathan Leafcastle investigating the Wave Clan’s documents, trying to hide it from her, surely there was something hidden in this.

It seemed the person he truly cared about was still Vera.

"Sally!" Nathan Leafcastle quickly got up and grabbed her arm, "Listen to me explaining, no... it’s not like that!"

"I know." Sally Dalton sniffed, "Feelings can’t be forced, so I’ve never forced you either. If you... really can’t forget her, perhaps we should... just let it go!"

She loved him, but didn’t want to force him, nor did she want him to be with her because of that incident.

She wanted him to genuinely care for her and want to be with her.

This was a completely different concept!

"Sally!" Watching her about to leave, Nathan Leafcastle pulled her over, "I truly want to be with you, not just because of what happened that night. I’m investigating these documents to find out who was behind Walter Wave’s bankruptcy. You know, the Wave Clan helped our family a lot back then, and I owe them that. This matter isn’t just about Vera; it’s about justice too."

Sally Dalton turned her face, "You mean to say..."

"The Deer Island incident was not an accident. It was a deliberate act targeting the Wave Clan."

"What?!"

Sally Dalton was extremely shocked.

She had heard Nathan Leafcastle talk about the matters concerning Walter Wave Real Estate before.

A family going from billions to bankruptcy overnight, Walter Wave jumping off a building to commit suicide, only Vera and her grandmother left to rely on each other.

In her heart, Sally Dalton also genuinely sympathized with Vera.

Upon hearing that this was man-made, she naturally understood the gravity of the situation.

"Are you... are you sure?"
