âYouâre such a naughty little girl.
I was so worried about you.
â
Rubbing the tip of her nose dotingly, Cyrus explained, âMary told me that you were going out for a fight, so I came.
Howâd it go? Do you need help?â
âNah, itâs over.
How can five weaklings defeat me?â Lucinda smiled at him innocently.
Overhearing this, even though Nathaniel already knew that she was a skilled fighter, he was still taken aback.
She beat up five men?
That definitely wasnât something an ordinary woman could do.
Confused, he began to wonder just how much this woman was hiding from him.
What happened these days had solidified his guess that she wasnât just an orphan.
She mustâve kept some secrets from him while they were married.
When he looked at her, his deep-set eyes had a curious light to them.
Cyrus, on the other hand, was completely unfazed, as though he had already expected her to win.
Lucinda trotted back to the cabin, followed closely by Cyrus, Nathaniel, and their respective bodyguards.
The kidnappers were strewn on the floor, groaning in pain.
But just when they thought they could relax, Lucinda returned with Cyrus and Nathaniel-two of the most formidable men in Forden.
Cyrus was the first to speak.
âHow dare you threaten her? Iâll teach you boys a valuable lesson today-donât mess with someone you canât afford to offend.
â
Nathanielâs eyes flashed with annoyance when he heard what Cyrus said.
The latter acted so intimate with Lucinda.
He then waved his hand, and several bodyguards immediately stopped the four men in black who were struggling on the ground.
âHow dare you lay a finger on her?â Nathaniel growled.
The kidnappers scrambled to get on their knees, desperately begging for mercy.
âPlease, we were hired to do it! We didnât mean to hurt this beautiful lady.
Weâre sorry.
Please spare me!â

It never occurred to them that Lucinda was backed up by both Cyrus and Nathaniel! Even a gangster like the leader of this group knew about how ruthless these two men were.
Thinking about the various torture methods these men were known for, he regretted crossing paths with Lucinda.
Lucinda, Cyrus, and Nathaniel all looked at the man who spoke.
Lucinda walked up to him and demanded, âWho hired you to kidnap Noelle?â
âIt was a woman! She ordered us to kidnap Noelle.
Then we were ordered to send you a message.
She said sheâd give us a million dollars when the job was done.
A million dollars! So I agreed.
Please believe me.
I didnât mean to hurt you!â
If he had known that there were so many powerful men backing up his employerâs target, he would never have agreed to the job!
