Chương 412: Chapter 412 – Shame

"Nick, listen, I'm sorry for what I said earlier," Carl said. "I did not mean to say-"

"It's fine," Nick interjected. "I get what you mean. You don't need to apologize."

Carl looked at Nick in relief.

"In fact," Nick continued. "I should be the one who should apologize."

"You were just asking what happened, but I immediately jumped to the conclusion that you wanted to bury this entire matter and silence me."

Nick sighed. "I nearly killed you because of an unfounded speculation."

"We talked about this earlier," Carl said. "We both made a mistake. Two idiots, right?" he added with a smile.

"Two idiots," Nick repeated with a small smile of his own.

The two of them fell silent.

It was relieving to talk like this, but there was still one obvious matter that hadn't been dealt with.

Nick looked at Irwin, who refused to look at Nick.
