âIt seems like youâve been staring at my photos a lot lately.
Itâs been years since we last saw each other.
Iâm sure Iâve grown to be more gorgeous than you last remembered.
And yet you recognized me at first sight.
â
She walked over to the chair and sat down.
Then, she gestured at someone in the doorway.
Abel stepped into the room and ripped the tape off of Leviâs mouth.
A few of his facial hair came out with it, and he winced in pain.
âIâm your uncle!â He glared at Lucinda.
âHow dare you make collude with Cyrus to abduct me? Is this how you treat your elders?â
Lucinda leaned forward and cupped her chin, and then flashed him a smile.
âIâm sure this isnât your first brush with my⦠defiant attitude.
In all honestly, you should be grateful for the way Iâm treating you right now.
You may be my elder, but we both know that you are without morals and deserve no ounce of respect from anyone.
â
Levi narrowed his eyes.
âI am without morals? Iâve never meddled in the familyâs affairs! How dare you call me immoral?â
âOh really? Why donât you take a look at this, then?â
Lucinda nodded at Abel, who then held up Kysonâs statement in front of Leviâs face.
âUncle Levi, Iâm not interested in dragging this out and making things harder than they should be.
Just answer the question.
Is Kyson telling the truth?â
Levi peered at the document and read Kysonâs confession carefully.
His face changed with every word he read.
âOh, my God! This has nothing to do with me! Why would I want to kill you? I was very fond of you when you were younger, do you remember? I used to carry you around all the time! Besides, Kyson is the director of the Secret Investigation Department, whereas I am just another ordinary civilian.
How can I possibly order that man to do anything, let alone kill someone?â
âIs that so? But I heard that your son, Nikolas, is currently working for the military.
If not you, then perhaps he is the one involved in this matter? Should I ask Graham to look into it for me?
âNo! It has nothing to do with my son!â
Lucinda banged her fist on the table.

âWhy would you say that?â she snarled.
âKyson admitted everything.
Do you think I would believe any of your bullshit? I know you told Nikolas to give orders to Kyson.
Let me guess, you did all of this for the inheritance, right?â
Levi stared at Lucinda with a solemn expression and said nothing.
âYou resent the fact that my father is breaking tradition by leaving everything to me, his daughter, so you joined hands with other good-for-nothing relatives to get rid of me.
You were planning to snatch the entire family fortune afterward, werenât you? Who else took part in your little scheme? Is Uncle Norris involved, too? What about Florrie?â
