Alvina was also held by the bodyguards, so she could only whine and threaten.
Lucinda paid her no mind and calmly ate her oranges.
Her eyes were fixed on the two captives.
Her expression was sly and mischievous and her cheeks puffed up.
As Nathaniel watched her, his heart raced.
He was tempted to reach out and touch her delicate cheek.
As he settled his gaze on Lucinda, Alvina saw him and shouted, “Nathaniel! Dustin is your uncle, and I am your aunt! How could you let your ex-wife treat us like this?”

Nathaniel’s handsome face was pale and his tone was icy as he responded, “Tess should have told you.
I have an employment agreement with Lucinda.
I work for her now and can’t help you.
”
Alvina continued toin, “You! You are siding with the devil! We are your family, not her!”
Lucinda found herints irritating.
“She’s too loud,” she remarked with a frown.
“Gag her.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
”
The bodyguard scurried off to grab a dusty rag and shoved it in Alvina’s mouth.
Lucinda had more questions for Tess, so the guard didn’t gag her.
Lucinda took the dagger from Sonny, stood up and walked towards Tess.
She lifted her chin gently with the tip of the dagger.
This caused Tess to flinch.
She was so scared that she held her breath.
In a soft tone, Tess said, “Lucinda, I swear it has nothing to do with me.
There’s no point in you seeking revenge on me.
”
Lucinda smirked and replied, “I know there’s someone behind you.
If you hand them and Eleanor over to me, I’ll let bygones be bygones.
What do you say?”
This meant that Lucinda would no longer go after the Green Group.
They would live peacefully in the future.
Tess was hesitant.
Then the thought of this bitch pping and humiliating her in front of everyone came to her mind.
How could she just let it slide?
Tess remembered how ashamed she had felt, and red hatefully at Lucinda.
“How should I know where they are? Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you! I prefer to wait for them to kill you!”
“So, you don’t want to tell me?”
