Chapter 1979: Chapter 2193

Back then, his focus was entirely on Lucinda.

He felt relieved entrusting the babies to Norton, so he didn’t have to worry about them.

There was definitely a possibility that something happened during that period.

“I’ll look into it, but since it’s related to the Payne family, I can’t share more details,” Nathan said plainly.

“I understand,” Kyson replied and said nothing more.

In the quiet moments that followed, Kyson sipped his coffee leisurely.

Meanwhile, Nathan pulled out his phone and typed out an order which he sent to the prison.

“Wake Mylo up and take him to the secret visiting room.

I’ll join you shortly.

”

Nathan got a response almost immediately.

“Got it.

”

When he had uncovered the truth behind his parents’ death, Nathan had vowed not to concern himself with Ronan.

Now, he had no idea whether Ronan had gone abroad or was living somewhere remote.

Before sending people to locate Ronan, it was smarter to gather information from Mylo first.

In the office, silence hung in the air.

Both men said nothing as they were deep in thought.

They were contemplating the same issue.

After some time, Nathan broke the silence.

“What’s the third possibility?”

Kyson replied, quickly regaining focus, “If we rule out the first two possibilities, there’s still a likely scenario.

Something could have happened during the transportation of the milk powder from the factory to the Payne family.

I don’t know what might have occurred during this time that caused the milk powder to be swapped, but I know you’ve considered this possibility.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had Sonny investigate the transportation records and everyone involved.

”

Nathan paused.

His eyes looked calm as he said, “You truly are the best from the Secret Investigation Department.

It’s been a year and a half since you were removed from your position as director.

In that time, you’ve faced beatings, run for your life, and even taught on a remote island.

Despite the fact that you’ve been through a lot, your knowledge and skills remain sharp.

You’re still very smart.

”

Kyson looked at Nathan’s handsome face and smirked mischievously.

“It’s not often I hear you compliment me.

Are you running low on staff at the National Security Bureau and looking to recruit talent?”

Nathan’s eyes grew more serious.

“If you manage to beat Sonny, I might consider writing you a recommendation letter if you are interested in working in the National Security Bureau.

”

Kyson’s smile widened.

“Thank you, Mr.

Payne.

I’ll give it my all when competing with Sonny in the future.

”

Nathan gave no response.

His dark eyes became unfathomable.

Kyson had once led the Secret Investigation Department and was now the head of the Shaw family.

He was driven and ambitious.

Nathan understood that Kyson was just as ruthless as his half-brother, Mekhi.

The more power someone like him gained, the harder he would be to control.

Kyson could be both a valuable ally and a formidable enemy.
