Nathaniel didn’t reply; he was lost in his thoughts.
Lucinda hadn’t told him the name of the drug. But 23 had been used on prisoners of war. Admittedly, the effects of the drug she used on him did not seem as severe.
Sonny said, “We should go. Our men are waiting outside, awaiting your orders. Now you are free, you must leave her. We will take whatever action you demand.”
Nathaniel declined the offer.
“Lucinda has a secret. It could have something to do with the Roberts family. I will stay by her side and look for clues. We don’t have much time, so I’ll cut a long story short.”
Sonny nodded, and Nathaniel explained his doubts.
“Contact Jaxen. I believe Lucinda might be involved with one of the four largest clans in Stastle. Brinleigh and Cyrus attach a great deal of importance to her, which excludes the Hernandez Family and the Simmons Family from any involvement. It would also be impossible for the Payne Family to be involved. So, I need him to investigate the Shaw Family. Find out whether there is a daughter who disappeared six years ago and report back to me.”
“Yes, sir,” Sonny said.
He paused before adding, “Your uncle accused Miss Ross of killing your grandfather. Do you believe him?”
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, and no. Enoch is cunning. He only said that so Lucinda and I would fight against each other and then he would benefit from that discord. But Lucinda’s real identity is the key. We have to investigate her.”
“But, if Miss Ross did all of this on purpose,” Sonny said, “she may not be the daughter of an important family. It is equally likely that someone sent her to spy on you after they discovered your whereabouts? Judging from her ability, she might have worked as an agent. She is good at hiding.”
If she was a spy, it would be very difficult to uncover her real identity.
After thinking for a moment, Nathaniel said, “That’s why I need a plan B. If she really is the daughter of a big family, this could all be a coincidence. Tonight, I’ll find an opportunity to test her.
I will also arrange for you to meet two people in prison.”
Sonny nodded after Nathaniel told him the names.

“Go ahead then. I also have to go now.”
There was not much time left. Nathaniel was about to Leave.
But Sonny called to him. He looked hesitant.
“Boss…”
“Just say it,” Nathaniel urged.
“Do you think Miss Ross was the girl who saved you many years ago?”
Nathaniel lowered his eyes.
“She denied it. Maybe she is not that girl. I may have been mistaken. I won’t know for sure until we discover her identity and uncover her past.”
