“Where did you hear that?”


    “The agent of that female star spread the news that the two of you had a brawl at the Payne Group.


    If I hadn’t intervened, both the Payne and Simmons families’ stocks would be in turmoil by now.


    ”


    Valerie was such a troublemaker!


    Lucinda felt a surge of annoyance, but she had more pressing matters at hand.


    She hung her head, unsure of how to exin the situation to Graham.


    After all, she couldn’t divulge Nathan’s illness just yet.

    His voice dripped with coldness as he asked, “What excuse do you n to conjure up to deceive me this time?”

    “Don’t!”


    Lucinda protested, her voice filled with desperation upon seeing the murderous gleam in Graham’s eyes.

    In their childhood days, she and Cyrus were mischievous troublemakers, beyond their parents’ control.


    It was Graham who would step in, discipline them, and restore order.


    The memories of those times still haunted her, leaving a lingering fear.


    Lucinda was filled with terror.


    But only after getting through this, could she take the chance to mention the issue of Kyson.


    Without uttering a single word, Graham rose from his seat.


    His countenance was grim and dark.
