After their brief exchange, they focused back on their work, tackling the challenges before them with renewed determination.
The minutes ticked by, and soon it was almost time to leave the office.
Nathan stood up, taking a deep breath to steady himself.
âLucinda, Iâve found the truth,â he said, placing his laptop on her desk and showing her the evidence he had uncovered.
The evidence pointed to Crosby as the one who leaked the confidential information of the project.
It appeared that Crosby had felt humiliated after Lucinda publicly reprimanded him a few days ago, and as revenge, he sold information of the project to Ronan in secret.
Ronan had worked for a number of years and hadnât achieved much.
Mylo begged Norton for a long time to fix Ronan up with a better job.
Therefore, Norton personally asked Nathan to arrange a job for Ronan in the Payne Group.
Nathan didnât trust Ronan, so he let Ronan work in the subsidiary company.
He didnât expect that Ronan still made so many troubles even when he was in the subsidiary company.
Ronan, who had been eager for a better job opportunity, had a motive to cause trouble and discord between Nathan and Lucinda, hoping to ruin their wedding plans.
Crosby, on the other hand, saw it as a chance to remove Lucinda from her position of power in the company.
The two of them immediately decided to work together to make trouble for Nathan and Lucinda.
The revelation of their deceitful alliance made Lucindaâs anger boil within her.
âCrosby framed me and caused the company to suffer a loss of nearly one hundred million dollars.
I wonât let him get away with it!â she declared fiercely.
Nathan nodded, fully supporting her in seeking justice.
Seeing Nathanâs lack of response, Lucinda couldnât help but inquire, âWhat are you planning to do about Ronan?â
Nathan smiled, curious about her thoughts.
âWhat do you suggest I do?â
âItâs your family matter, and I wonât interfere,â she replied.
Nathan picked her up, placing her gently on his lap, and said earnestly, âYour suggestions wonât be considered interference.
Please, share your thoughts.
â
With an evil glint in her eyes, Lucindaâs smile turned wicked.
âHow about a whipping? He should be punished according to your familyâs rules.
â
âAlso, I heard that you assigned his father to a small company in a remote region.
You could send Ronan there to keep his father company,â she added with a devious grin.
Nathan playfully rubbed her nose and gazed at her admiringly.
