Chapter 1799: Chapter 2013

“That’s the one,” she said.

Sonny’s anger was palpable.

“Even now, she fought tooth and nail, resorting to such desperate tricks.

It’s clear she’s beyond hope.

”

Graham’s gaze was cold and calculating as he fixed Danilo with a stern look, his voice hoarse yet commanding.

“Danilo, open the cage now.

”

With a subtle nod, Danilo signaled a bodyguard, who promptly walked to the wall across them and hit a switch.

The large cage began its slow ascent towards the ceiling.

As they approached Lucinda, Graham inquired, “Has Nala disclosed how our mother died?”

Lucinda affirmed, “Yes, she’s told me everything.

This chapter is closed.

Sonny, she’s all yours.

I intend to delve into the crimes she committed years back.

”

“Understood, Lucinda.

”

Without another word, Lucinda turned to Leave.

On the floor, Nala’s breath came easier as oxygen returned.

Watching Lucinda’s retreating figure, she let out a scornful laugh.

“Lucinda, you hesitated to end my life earlier, but I won’t hesitate to end yours.

”

Before Sonny’s soldiers could arrest her, Nala swiftly drew a pistol she had prepared beforehand and aimed it at Lucinda, firing without a second thought.

“Lucinda!” Graham, who was nearest to Lucinda, instinctively caught her in his arms.

Bang!

The sound of the gunshot echoed as the bullet struck Graham’s back, causing him to wince in pain.

Yet, he stood firm, shielding Lucinda from the line of fire.

Before Nala could fire again, Sonny’s soldiers had her restrained swiftly.

Graham’s back was stained with blood, yet Nala couldn’t help but smile at the sight, a mix of triumph and eeriness painting her features.

The moment Graham was injured, Lucinda turned to him, concern etched on her face.

She then directed Sonny, her voice laced with fury.

“Take Nala to the National Security Bureau.

”

Sonny needed no prompting.

Nala’s actions, having fired a shot, were serious.

Lucinda, though enraged, maintained her clarity of thought.

“And take Danilo as well.

”

Danilo protested, his voice filled with disbelief, “Ms.

Simmons, I didn’t fire that shot.

I had no idea Nala would do such a thing.

I’m innocent.

”

Lucinda’s response was cold.

“Then how did she obtain a gun? Why was it news to me that she could shoot with such precision? Don’t pretend innocence, Danilo.

”

Danilo met her gaze, his expression solemn, yet he remained silent.
