Lucinda glanced at him gloomily and said, âSince you knocked him out with one blow, now he wonât feel any pain at all.
You were too merciful! You shouldâve let him suffer slowly and painfully.
You shouldâve made him wish he was dead.
â
Nathanielâs jaw went slack.
It turned out that he was wrong about his ex-wife.
She wasnât kindhearted at all! On the contrary, she was very vindictive.
âIâll ask Flynn to look into this.
Donât be afraid,â Nathaniel said, changing the subject.
Lucinda rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.
What on earth made him conclude that she was afraid?
But Lucinda wasnât an idiot.
This man had come to her rescue.
As long as he didnât pester her anymore, she could at least try not to satirize him.
Looking around at the unconscious thugs on the ground, a thought suddenly occurred to her.
She locked eyes with Nathaniel and growled, âIf your family had something to do with this, I wonât let them go.
â
Nathaniel nodded.
âDonât worry.
Iâm not partial to my familyâ¦â
He paused and then broke into a smile.
âBut donât you think now is the time to talk about you and me?â
âYou and me? There is no you and me.
â Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him.
âThe day we got divorced, we were over.
Thereâs nothing to talk about.
â
After saying that, she turned around and was about to get in the car.
âWatch out!â

Nathaniel yelled all of sudden.
The thug that was closest to her had quietly gotten up from the ground.
He raised the stick he was holding and swung it towards her head with full force.
Unfortunately, Nathaniel was too far away to stop him.
For the first time in his life, sheer panic consumed him.
But the next second, Lucinda caught the stick mid-swing, kicked the thugâs leg violently, and then knocked the man to the ground.
The man passed out again before he could even cry out in pain.
After that, she turned around and met the manâs flustered gaze.
She raised her eyebrows and gave him a defiant smile.
