Nathan then said, “Your actions brought about all this. It’s your duty to clear Dwayne’s name of any wrongdoing. Sonny will document everything you say. You need to own up to your mistakes. Do you understand?”
Lionel lowered his head and said, “It’s on me. I’ll take full responsibility.”
Nathan exchanged a meaningful look with Sonny.
Sonny caught the meaning and promptly escorted Lionel and Dwayne back to the National Security Bureau. Their plan was to issue an official statement through their official channels to prove Dwayne’s innocence.
Once they left, Lucinda and Nathan were the only ones left in the interrogation room.
She frowned and said in a serious tone, “This isn’t about Dwayne.
They’re after me. They’re simply using Dwayne to get to me.”

Nathan pondered for a moment and said, “It won’t be easy to identify that woman without any leads. I have a feeling she used a fake identity when contacting Lionel. Do you have any suspects in mind?”
After giving it some thought, Lucinda replied, “It could be my third uncle. They know I won’t give up on Dwayne easily. And there’s something else bothering me. I can’t shake the feeling that they’re trying to divert my attention. There’s probably a bigger conspiracy at play.”
“Are you still planning to go back home in two days? Will Atticus make you the president of the Simmons Group by then?” Nathan asked.
She nodded.
“Yes, and not only that, I’ll gain full control over the family’s wealth. Once I sign the agreement, I’ll inherit everything when my father passes away.”
Becoming the head of the Simmons family meant gaining the right of inheritance.
Nathan reached out and drew her close into his arms, his handsome face filled with concern.
“Don’t sign anything until we uncover the people plotting against you.
They’ll make their move soon. But this is your family’s affair, and we’re getting married next month, and for now, I’m still an outsider to your family.
Lucinda, I’m worried. .
Lucinda’s hand cradled his face and her eyes brimmed with determination.
“We have a mere two days left before they can sabotage me signing the contract with my father. They’re bound to grow restless and expose themselves when they make their move. If we let this chance slip by, when they’re fully ready, it’ll be even riskier for me. But fret not, I have my brothers looking out for me. I won’t be in harm’s way.”
“Lucinda…”
Nathan started to speak, but she tenderly pressed her finger against his lips, hushing him.
“You know me too well, Nate. You should know that you can’t change my mind,” she said, a faint smile tugging at her Lips.
“And who knows, maybe in two days‘ time, the truth will reveal itself naturally, and things won’t be as complicated as you fear.”
After an hour, all the online rumors about Dwayne had been completely debunked.
