Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Feeling uneasy, Nathan chose not to answer Kyson’s incoming call.

Instead, he sent him a text message.

His message read, “I’m tied up right now.

Look after the kids for me.

Don’t bring them home; just let them stay overnight at the Laboratory.

Send Sonny to N&L Fairy Land to pick up some clothes for them.

Also, could you arrange for Destinee to take a Leave from kindergarten? The laboratory is the safest place for them right now.

”

Despite his fingers trembling slightly, Nathan managed to steady himself and typed the message to Kyson.

Almost instantly, just as Nathan was about to put his phone away, a new text message arrived.

Kyson asked, “Where is Lucinda? Aren’t you coming back to see Colby and Destinee today?”

Nathan read his first question repeatedly, his eyes reddening from the rain.

He took a deep breath and responded, “She’s alright.

She’s working on the case with me.

Stastle isn’t safe right now.

I’ll leave the kids in your care.

”

After sending the text, Nathan turned off his phone, seeking tranquility.

With Colby and Destinee secure in the laboratory, his immediate concern was to find Lucinda.

He couldn’t relax until he knew Lucinda was safe.

Nathan left the valley in the downpour and hailed a taxi to the National Security Bureau.

Shortly afterward, Lonnie also returned to the Bureau.

The tow truck had already brought Lucinda’s badly damaged car.

Though the exterior was wrecked, the car’s interior remained largely intact.

Upon examination, the experts discovered various fingerprints on the back seats.

“Mr.

Payne, before Mrs.

Payne’s car was damaged, someone else was seated in the back.

We’ve confirmed the mobile phone we found isn’t hers.

Her phone is still missing.

Moreover, there’s no evidence of a struggle in the car, nor any dangerous weapons present.

”

Lonnie presented the findings to Nathan and said, “I’ve reviewed the surveillance footage around the accident site.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Mrs.

Payne’s car went off the road in a blind spot, so we can’t determine what led to the accident.

”

With a grave expression, Nathan perused the printed surveillance images.

As he examined the fourth photo, Lonnie added, “I’ve checked all the footage from when Mrs.

Payne left the Simmons Group to the accident.

She was alone when she exited the underground garage.

However, after Mrs.

Payne stopped at the bridge for a few minutes, the footage suggests that a person was seated in her car.

From the person’s figure, it seemed to be a man.

”

Nathan examined the enlarged photos and shook his head with conviction.

“It couldn’t be a man.

Lucinda is always alert.

She wouldn’t stop for a man who looked threatening.

”

Moreover, knowing Nathan’s tendency for jealousy, Lucinda always kept a respectful distance from other men.

She wouldn’t have allowed an unfamiliar man into her cherished car.

The person must have appeared non-threatening, perhaps a woman, a child, or an elderly individual, likely in some distress.

Only then would Lucinda consider letting them into her car.

Lonnie grasped Nathan’s line of thought and pondered it.
