While engaging the way that Ocean tells stories is a bit frustrating for this media, is like reading a book a chapter per year. I think that you noticed something that never crossed my mind. I don't think that Nami is faking, but we got hints that she may be overcompensating duo to some event in the past that we do not know. Nika says that she is partly responsible for the way he is, so maybe she is always tries to lift him up because of that ? I remember she complaining about it to him.Obviously these are only speculations, I believe that Nami aims to mitigate, for lack of a better definition, Nika's negative aura. Seen together they are almost a comic duo

My guess is based on two scenes:
-I don't remember exactly when but during a discussion between Nami and Nika we discover that in the past Nami has been particularly manipulative (perhaps in a less cruel way than Nika but it remains)
-When Nami accompanies Nika to the hospital, and gets angry with him, confesses that she does everything to make sure people don't hate him
I am gonna drop a hot take here. Nami reminds me of Leia a lot. Obvious not in demeanor or appearance but Leia, and to some extent Katie as well, shares a experience with MC prior to the story that we do not know, and that experience shaped their personality now. Leia became more cold and distant, Nami more vibrant and goofy. Leia loathes William, Nami is devoted to Nika. I always saw a pretty clear mirror in the relationship of William and Leia and Nika and Nami. I could dive a little more in it but do not want write a wall text. I don't know if it is intentional or I am tripping balls here. Point being, I think you are righ.
I thought something along those lines as well, but his interest may not even be sexual, if the Von Halens are this prestigious and wealthy at that he may be after some leverage that we don't know. Maybe he thought that diverting the police to Mila, someone who Bella loathes he would be gaining a favor ?Could it be that he's after Bella and not her mother?
