Lucinda chuckled wryly.
Locking eyes with him, she answered cryptically, âYou can believe whatever you want to believe.
â
She then turned around and started to walk away, arrogant and unrestrained.
âYouâd better care more about your fiancee.
You said so yourself that she was nearly beaten to death.
â
When Nathaniel was about to follow her, the two bodyguards stopped him.
âsir?â
Just then, Flynn showed up, and he looked grim.
Nathaniel had no choice but to let Lucinda go.
He turned around and went to the empty smoking room on the fifth floor, followed by Flynn.
âItâs very strange, Boss.
We just started investigating, but whoever did this destroyed all the evidence.
We havenât found anything yetâ¦â
Flynn paused.
His eyes wavered as if he didnât know whether he should continue.
Nathaniel lit a cigarette and clamped it in his mouth, glancing at him expectantly.
Flynn had no choice but to bite the bullet.
âBoth Cyrus Simmons and Dwayne Gordon are capable of destroying the evidence without alerting us⦠And these two men are very close to Lucindaâ¦â
His implication was clear-that Lucinda was still his main suspect.
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and mulled over what Flynn said.
When he asked Lucinda about the text, she seemed to have no clue what he was talking about.

But when he asked whether she did it or not, she seemed to know something about it.
âI donât think itâs that simple,â Nathaniel said after stubbing out his cigarette.
âButâ¦â Flynn started to say.
After the while, he plucked up the courage to blurt out, âMaybe it is that simple and youâre just too lenient with Lucinda.
â
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes at Flynn icily.
The latter obediently lowered his head and kept silent.
âIf it was Lucinda who got injured, would you have suspected Ellie?â he asked.
âOf course not.
Miss Turnerâs a kind and innocent girl, and she would never do such a thing.
But Iâve seen how Lucinda deals with people.
Sheâs capable of such cruelty,â Flynn answered without hesitation.
