âMr.
Roberts, I just approached that bodyguard sent by Lucinda.
I waited until he let his guard down and then slipped him a little something to knock him out.
But, he appears pretty burly, so he wonât be out for long.
We donât have much time.
Letâs cut to the chase!â Sonny whispered, looking around cautiously.
âNathaniel, who is there?â
Amanda sat up at the sound of footsteps by the door and looked at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel quickly stepped in front of her.
âItâs time for me to head back, Mom.
Just keep it cool for a bit, okay? And donât mention that thing again.
Got it?â
âOkay!â
Amanda was a bit impatient, but when she remembered her plan, she waved at him with a smile and said, âHurry back now.
Itâs getting dark.

Nathaniel thought Amandaâs reaction was weird but he left with Sonny nonetheless.
They got on the rooftop of the Roberts family house to discuss.
âWell, Mr.
Roberts, I did some digging and found out that thereâs someone in the Simmons family whose timeline matches up with Lucindaâs.
Sheâs the only daughter of Atticus, who is the head of the Simmons family.
But get this, she wasnât missing.
The Simmons family declared her dead six years ago, but mo one knows how she died,â Sonny said with a serious expression.
Nathaniel furrowed his brow at this information.
The more the Simmons family tried to hide this, the more suspicious it looked.
He asked, âCan you find a picture of her?â
âNo, not even her name can be found.
It was said that the Simmons family held a simple funeral for her, but there was no record of where she was buried.
What do you think, boss? Is this girl really dead?â
Nathaniel furrowed his brow, lost in thought.
After a while, he shook his head and said, âFrom the Simmons familyâs actions, one might think that they donât care about this young lady.
But I think the opposite is the case.
The Simmons family wouldnât go through all this trouble if they didnât care about her.
If anything, it shows just how much they love and want to protect her.
â
After thinking for some time, Sonny nodded in agreement.
âCould this girl actually be Lucinda?â
âI canât say for sure, but itâs definitely possible,â Nathaniel replied with a glint in his eyes.
Excitement bubbled up inside him.
He thought about the way Cyrus once rubbed Lucindaâs shins and blew on her palms, and how she pushed him away and acted like a spoiled brat around him.
ALL of these was because Cyrus was her brother!
He had thought that Lucinda was unfaithful to him during their marriage.
He regretted it so much now.
