GoodReadChapter 252 Guardian Kright
After arriving at the campus city, Maia received a location from Errol, and both Errol and Elena had already reached the cafe in
the campus city. Maia forwarded the address to Buck and he immediately searched for the cafe in the campus city.
“Ms. Maia, the cafe should be right up ahead.”
“Mm.” Maia nodded, then looked out of the car window. Suddenly, she saw a streamlined
sports car parked at the entrance of a restaurant.
“Buck, stop the car!”
Upon hearing Maia, Buck quickly stepped on the gas, pulling over to the side.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Maia?”
“Isn’t that Nigel?” Maia looked towards a deserted restaurant. Following Maia’s gaze, Buck indeed saw Nigel.
“Yeah, that’s Nigel!”
“Weird, it’s so late. Why would Nigel be in the campus city?” Maia, watching Nigel come out of the restaurant, curiously asked.
It was far from his law firm, and he didn’t need to come all the way here for supper. Moreover, he was dressed in formal attire
and carried a briefcase. The more Maia looked, the stranger it seemed. She decided to get out of the car to find out.
“Ms. Maia, where are you going?”
“I’m going after Nigel.” Maia quickly headed towards the deserted restaurant.
Buck quickly found a parking space on the street. Maia looked up at the sign of the restaurant.
“Au Revoir?” The name sounded elegant, but it seemed out of place compared to the nearby buildings. Even odd was that there
were no customers dining in. Feeling curious, she approached the restaurant door, and Nigel noticed her.
“Maia?” Nigel never expected to see her here. “Why are you here? Is there really such a
coincidence in the world?”
Nigel was visibly delighted. He had also seen the news about the live broadcast of “The Quest” tonight. His mood, originally
gloomy and lonely due to work, changed instantly upon seeing Maia.
Nigel gave Maia a thumbs–up.

“Thank you, Nigel.” Maia expressed her gratitude, then asked with some confusion, “Nigel, why did you come to the campus city
alone so late? It’s quite far from your home or your law firm. Are you here for supper alone?”
Nigel shook his head and didn’t hide anything from Maia. He explained, “No, it’s business. Maia, you must be puzzled. Why is
this restaurant so elegant and clean, yet there’s not a single dine–in customer?”
Maia nodded, indeed feeling puzzled. Nigel sighed, reaching for Maia’s arm and leading her toward the direction where the car
was parked.
“The law firm received a new case, the daughter of the owner of this restaurant died inside the shop. When she was found, she
was in a terrible state. That’s why this place doesn’t allow dine -ins. However, some kind–hearted people occasionally order
takeout to show sympathy to the elderly couple who run the restaurant.”
“H–How could this happen?”
“It’s said that she took various neuroactive drugs to pay off debts for her beloved boyfriend. She was sent to experiment with
drugs by her boyfriend. The autopsy report showed numerous neuroactive drugs in her body, not to mention countless other
substances.”
“Neuroactive drugs? And other substances?” Maia found it unbelievable. It was the first time she heard of such a thing and felt
angry about it.
Nigel gently explained, “Silly girl, you still have such a sense of justice. You’ve experienced the darkness of the business world,
but in this abyss, there are things and people you can’t imagine.”
Maia nodded in agreement. “Then have they found those people researching the drugs? Just catching this scumbag won’t be
enough, right?”
Nigel shook his head. “It’s difficult, very difficult. The other party is hiding well. So, for now, the elderly couple who run the
restaurant can only sue her boyfriend to make him painful price. After hearing about this, I plan to personally handle it.

“Nigel, you’re an amazing lawyer. I believe in you.” Maia knew that Nigel was highly respected in the legal field. He handled
cases of all sizes, and the chances of losing were almost nonexistent.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Those few male celebrities who slandered you about being involved in a hidden rule situation have publicly apologized, right?
The compensation should have been received.”
“Yeah.” Maia nodded. “Thank you, Nigel. I’ll make sure to pay the legal fees promptly and

still so
“Silly girl, I don’t need your legal fees, nor do I want them. Every time you stuff them into my hands, it makes me feel like I’m
poor. But well, you’ve been like this for so many years, polite, with no change at all.”
Maia smiled at Nigel. Suddenly, she got a WhatsApp message from Errol.
“Sis, have you arrived? We ordered a lot of delicious food. We’re just waiting for you!”
Seeing Errol’s message, Maia immediately replied, “I’ll be there in a moment, wait for me!”
Nigel, observing Maia’s response to the message, asked, “Did you make plans for supper with friends?”
Maia nodded. “Yes, it’s Errol and the others.”
“Where are they?” Nigel inquired. “I’ve been here a few times. Let me take you there, consider it a role of being a guardian
knight.”
Maia burst into laughter. “Nigel, the campus city is so lively. There won’t be any threats to me.
“We need to protect our beautiful flower, Maia. Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”
Maia nodded, showing him the location Errol sent.
“It’s just right in front, let’s go,” Nigel said.
“Okay.” Maia responded and followed Nigel’s steps.
Buck, who had parked the car, didn’t know whether to approach or not. Standing across the road, he sent a WhatsApp message
to Maia. “Miss, I see you’re with Nigel. Do you still need me?”
Maia read Buck’s message and replied, “You’ve had a long day too. Go back and rest well.”
Buck sighed, watching Maia and Nigel walking away. He decided to head back, leaving the two to their conversation and the
lively atmosphere of the campus city.
