Nathaniel said, “Well done. Investigate the Simmons family further.
Any branches or distant relatives of the Simmons family, anyone related to Lucinda in any way, check them all.”
After thinking for a moment, Sonny replied, “Boss, do you remember six years ago, when the youngest daughter of the head of the Simmons family seemed…”
Beep! Beep!
Before Sonny could finish, a car light flashed.
Lucinda had returned.

Why was she here so late?
“Boss, be careful climbing back up. Take care not to fall. I will find out everything I can.”
Sonny looked worried. Then he disappeared into the night.

Nathaniel would have preferred to go through the door that connected the garden with the living room, but Lucinda had already gotten out of her car, and there was a light in the garden. If he went that way, she would see him.
He had no choice. Nathaniel looked at the pipe, helplessly. It was the only way.
Enduring the pain, he began to climb.

Lucinda frowned and glanced at her watch.
It was only half-past nine. Why did he go to bed so early?
“Have you checked on him? I don’t trust him when he seems obedient.”

Was she just overthinking?
Lucinda closed the door. Conor and Jose heaved a sigh of relief.
She took a couple of steps and then stopped.
