To him, Nova was a possession, loyal, predictable, and unlikely to overstep certain boundaries, even if she dabbled in schemes of her own. However, with Kinslee present, Brook couldn't simply dismiss the matter. He felt obligated to address the situation formally.
"How exactly are you connected to Barton?" he asked.
Nova's reply was a carefully calculated blend of truth and deception. “I did encounter him outside the Lloyd house," she admitted smoothly. "When I realized he worked at..." Kinslee's nursing home, I stopped to hear him out. But I never imagined he'd go so far as to accuse Ms. Clarke of theft."

Clearly, if he took all the blhimself, he would certainlybe m tortured to death. Finally, his voice wavered. "It was... it was..."
But before he could finish, Nova stepped in, her demeanor amasterful blend of innocence and authority.
With a calm expression, she gestured toward the surveillance footage in the phone Barton clutched.
