Kyson stared at her through the glass and picked up the phone.
Lucinda followed suit, placing the phone against her ear.
âLucinda, itâs been a while.
You look surprised.
Canât you remember who I am?â
Without betraying any emotion, Lucinda responded in a particularly cold voice, âI didnât come here to catch up on old days.
If you donât want to discuss business, Iâll leave.
â
Kyson smiled playfully and clicked his tongue.
âYou are still so mean to me.
All you care about is your little servant.
â
Watching Lucinda about to drop the phone, Kyson quickly said, âAlright, letâs get down to business.
â
His eyes narrowed, and he smirked wickedly.
In a husky voice, he said, âLucinda, even though Iâm behind bars, I know better than anyone else that your fiance, Nathan Payne, is none other than your beloved ex-husband in Forden, am I right?â
âWho told you that? I wasnât even aware,â Lucinda acted stunned with a cold smile forming on her face.

âNo need to hide it.
Itâs just hard to believe that he got engaged to you while suffering from a grave illness.
â
Lucindaâs expression turned serious, and she pounded the table.
âWhat else do you know? Whatâs wrong with him?â
Kyson smiled weirdly.
âI know everything, and I reckon only a few people are privy to that information, apart from me.
â
âWhat do you want in return?â Lucinda tried to maintain her composure so she could focus.
Kyson applauded, a smirk playing on his lips.
âYouâre still as sharp and adorable as ever.
Itâs a delight talking to you.
â
The disdain in her eyes was clear.
âI donât want to hear your nonsense.
Tell me what I need to know!â
With a wicked glimmer in his ice blue eyes, Kyson leaned closer to the speaker and whispered in a low voice, âTell Graham to bail me out, cancel your engagement with Nathan and get married to me.
â
Hearing this, Lucinda scowled.
âI can arrange for Graham to bail you out.
Donât think about anything else beyond that.
â
Kyson lowered his head and said sadly, âIt appears that you truly have feelings for him.
After being thrown in jail, the entire Shaw family fell under Mekhiâs control.
He sacrificed me for power and the familyâs reputation.
Once Iâm out of here, I need the support of the Simmons family before I can stand on my own.
â
However, Lucinda remained unmoved.
Her face was as cold as ice.
