âWhat kind of deal did you make with Lucinda?â
Kyson burst out laughing.
âAh, so Lucinda didnât tell you everything, after all.
She didnât even tell you the details of our deal, huh? Donât you think your relationship is a little⦠fragile?â
Nathanâs hand trembled slightly, causing the tea that he was pouring to spill over and scald his fingers.
âI hit the nail right on the head, didnât I?â Kyson was even more smug now.
âHa! Think of all the things youâve done for her! Youâve endured so much suffering for her sake, but she went behind your back and made a deal with another man.
I canât even imagine what a sad, pathetic loser you will turn into once she comes to me.
I feel sorry for you!â
Nathan silently plucked a tissue from the table and wiped the tea from his hands, his every movement as elegant and dignified as ever.
âSeems like you refuse to give me the answer I want,â he said in a low, menacing voice.
âHit him!â
As soon as he received the order, Sonny raised the stick again.
âWait! Kyson yelled.
âI never said that I wonât tell you.
Iâll be more than happy to recount the details of our agreement!â
In fact, he had been itching to rub it into Nathanâs face.
That would certainly make things more interesting.
âThe terms say that once I give her the antidote, she will break off her engagement with you and marry me instead.
And two days ago, when I gave her the medicine to alleviate your symptoms, she finally agreed to seal the deal!â
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp, cracking sound echoed in the room.
Nathan had smashed the teapot right in front of Kyson.
Hot tea splashed on the ground as the broken shards of porcelain flew all over the place.
A few of them nicked Kyson on the shins by the impact, leaving several fresh bloodstains on his skin.
But the man seemed to enjoy Nathanâs furious display.
He laughed maniacally.
âSo what if you recover from the virus? Iâm willing to bet that you would suffer even more when you see Lucinda in my arms and realize that you have lost her forever!â
Nathan was livid.
A dangerous aura thrummed around his body.
He looked like he was ready to kill in the blink of an eye.
Sonny, the ever-observant subordinate, pointed at Kyson and turned to the men stationed at the door.
