Outside the ward, Eleanor could hear the sound of footsteps approaching. Knowing that it was probably just a nurse or a doctor walking along the corridor, she didn’t think too much of it.
“If all goes well, she can ki*s this world goodbye.”
Eleanor was so excited that she wanted to giggle at the thought of getting rid of Lucinda.
Melody was also very happy. If she could get rid of that bitch named Lucinda, she’d finally have Cyrus all to herself.
“Thanks to you, as soon as I leave the hospital, I‘U1-“
Eleanor was rambling over the phone excitedly when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Nathaniel stood by the doorway, wearing a gloomy expression.

“Nate! Wh-what are you doing here?”
Startled, Eleanor hung up the phone immediately.
“I was on a call with my friend just now and didn’t see you there.
She had arranged for her bodyguards to stand by the door, so she let her guard down and chatted with Melody without a care.
Did Nathaniel overhear what she said just now?!
Nathaniel quietly looked at Eleanor, his eyes ablaze with fiery rage.
“Nate, I can explain-” Eleanor said nervously, her eyes darting all over the place in panic.
“Don’t get me wrong. I was just chatting with a friend; that’s all!”

Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She had no idea if he had heard her whole conversation with Melody, so she just kept playing dumb.
“What were you planning?”
Ignoring her lame excuses, Nathaniel growled in a low voice.
Oh, God! Did he hear all of it?!
Eleanor subconsciously clenched the corner of the quilt so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
“N-nothing! I just told you. I was catching up with my friend. Don’t you believe me?”
Unmoved by the pitiful look on her face, Nathaniel said in a low voice, “You should know that even if you don’t tell me, I can always order my men to investigate. But by then, you won’t have the chance to explain yourself.”
He rubbed his watch expressionlessly and spoke so calmly that Eleanor couldn’t keep calm anymore.
She knew that her plot would be exposed sooner or later, so she had no choice but to come clean.
