Chapter 281
Upon hearing this, Atticus quickly grabbed the phone, and Holden followed closely to look.
Michael wanted to take a look but was scared off by a glance from Holden, standing obediently to the side listening to Nolan's explanation.
Nothing could bring him more peace than knowing Isabella was still alive.
Even facing Nolan, who wanted to compete with him for Isabella, he found him more agreeable.
The surveillance footage captured the time when Isabella would appear, and just two minutes later, Holden's eyes suddenly lit up.
Pointing at the license plates of several speeding cars on the phone, he said, "Atticus, these are the cars I sent to pick up Isabella."
But Atticus frowned and looked up at Nolan, "These cars all went onto Elysian Bridge. What do you mean by showing us this?"
Before Nolan could explain the misunderstanding, Holden shouted in surprise, "Atticus, it's true, he said it's true!"
"Although I don't remember how many cars were sent out, the one you specially modified for Isabella is not among them. This means Isabella might really not have gone onto that bridge."
Atticus and Holden exchanged glances, reading joy and happiness in each other's eyes.
Isabella was really safe.
Atticus returned the phone to Nolan and thanked him solemnly, "Thanks to you today, the Wilson Family won't forget this favor."
Nolan just shook his head lightly, "No need for that, Atticus. It was my duty."
Atticus's impression of him deepened.
The Wilson Family had investigated these matters, but to discover the problem in such a short time and keenly observe the missing car from the surveillance footage was no small feat.
Nolan was definitely not simple.
It was said that before Michael became the sole heir, the Brown Family's business had flourished under Nolan's hands.
In just a few years, the Brown Group had expanded more than double, even making impressive strides overseas, earning the admiration of many enterprises.
He had significantly contributed to the Brown Group's economic status in the country.
However, after those few years, Nolan suddenly disappeared without a trace, so in Atticus's eyes, Nolan was just a smart businessman.
But now, after this incident, Atticus had a newfound appreciation and admiration for him.
If Nolan had been chosen as the heir of the Brown Group, perhaps it wouldn't have developed any worse than it did under Michael.
Unfortunately...
Atticus's gaze fell on Nolan's legs in the wheelchair, a flash of sympathy in his eyes.
Holden didn't understand what Atticus was thinking. He only knew that Nolan was the first to discover the clue about Isabella.
To him, Nolan was a benefactor to the Wilson Family.
"Nolan, if you ever need anything, just let us know. Atticus is right; the Wilson Family won't forget this favor."
Atticus was now eager to see Isabella's safety with his own eyes, ignoring everything else. He cast a warning glance at Michael and hurriedly left with Holden.
As they left, Holden glanced at Nolan in the wheelchair and turned to Atticus.
"Atticus, don't you think the Brown brothers look too similar? But I think this Nolan is quite reliable. It would be great if Isabella liked him."
These words naturally reached Michael's ears.
A few minutes later, only Michael and Nolan were left.
Michael, relieved to know Isabella was safe, sat on a nearby bench, his eyes falling on Nolan.
They had grown up together, and Michael knew Nolan's abilities and intelligence better than anyone.
That's why, when he first took over the Brown Group, Aiden always compared him to Nolan.
Because in this family, the only one who could rival him was Nolan.
But now, he was puzzled by one thing.
Given Nolan's feelings for Isabella, if he knew she had survived a big explosion and found clues that she was still alive, why didn't he find her at that moment?
When she was most vulnerable and insecure, giving her a hug would have been the best way to win her heart.
But instead, he brought people here just to tell Atticus and Holden the clues?
Despite his many doubts, Michael chose to believe him.
After all, it was Nolan who brought the news that Isabella was still alive when he was at his weakest.
Nothing was more important than that.
The two looked at each other, Michael pale and battered, while Nolan, sitting in the wheelchair, looked like a noble gentleman, calm and composed, without a crease on his clothes.
Neither spoke, and finally, Nolan broke the silence.
"Michael, I brought such good news and saved you from Atticus and Holden. Don't you have anything to say?"
Nolan's eyes gleamed with pride, and his mouth curled up in an undisguised smile.
After years of rivalry, if Michael couldn't see through Nolan's intentions now, he would have wasted all those years as an opponent.
Especially Holden's words before leaving, which served as a heavy reminder.
He thought Nolan had come to save him out of goodwill.
But in reality, Nolan had anticipated that the Wilson Family would be the most anxious if something happened to Isabella, so he waited for this opportunity.
When he was beaten to a pulp by his uncles, Nolan appeared and spread the news that Isabella was still alive.
The Wilson Family was in chaos, and Nolan's words were like a savior descending from the sky. Naturally, they treated him as a benefactor.
So, his target was getting favored by the Wilson Family, not just to save him.
Nolan was indeed smart, knowing that the most important step to winning Isabella was to win over her family.
Michael lowered his head and sneered, "What do you want me to say, thank you? Nolan, you can pretend in front of others, but in front of me, you're still the same as before, unchanged."
"But I must admit, you played this move well, leaving a good impression on the Wilson Family. But don't be too happy too soon. Isabella is mine. As long as we're not truly divorced, you can't take her away!"
Nolan not only made an appearance in front of the Wilson Family but also took the opportunity to suppress him.
Nolan was indeed someone Aiden remembered for years, very smart.
But he wouldn't back down easily.
As long as Isabella was alive, he still had hope.
