“Mr. Roberts, I just approached that bodyguard sent by Lucinda. I waited until he let his guard down and then slipped him a little something to knock him out. But, he appears pretty burly, so he won’t be out for long. We don’t have much time. Let’s cut to the chase!” Sonny whispered, looking around cautiously.
“Nathaniel, who is there?”
Amanda sat up at the sound of footsteps by the door and looked at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel quickly stepped in front of her.
“It’s time for me to head back, Mom. Just keep it cool for a bit, okay? And don’t mention that thing again. Got it?”
“Okay!”
Amanda was a bit impatient, but when she remembered her plan, she waved at him with a smile and said, “Hurry back now. It’s getting dark.”

Nathaniel thought Amanda’s reaction was weird but he left with Sonny nonetheless. They got on the rooftop of the Roberts family house to discuss.
“Well, Mr. Roberts, I did some digging and found out that there’s someone in the Simmons family whose timeline matches up with Lucinda’s. She’s the only daughter of Atticus, who is the head of the Simmons family. But get this, she wasn’t missing. The Simmons family declared her dead six years ago, but mo one knows how she died,” Sonny said with a serious expression.
Nathaniel furrowed his brow at this information.
The more the Simmons family tried to hide this, the more suspicious it looked.
He asked, “Can you find a picture of her?”
“No, not even her name can be found. It was said that the Simmons family held a simple funeral for her, but there was no record of where she was buried. What do you think, boss? Is this girl really dead?”
Nathaniel furrowed his brow, lost in thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said, “From the Simmons family’s actions, one might think that they don’t care about this young lady. But I think the opposite is the case. The Simmons family wouldn’t go through all this trouble if they didn’t care about her.
If anything, it shows just how much they love and want to protect her.”
After thinking for some time, Sonny nodded in agreement.
“Could this girl actually be Lucinda?”
“I can’t say for sure, but it’s definitely possible,” Nathaniel replied with a glint in his eyes.
Excitement bubbled up inside him.
He thought about the way Cyrus once rubbed Lucinda’s shins and blew on her palms, and how she pushed him away and acted like a spoiled brat around him.
ALL of these was because Cyrus was her brother!
He had thought that Lucinda was unfaithful to him during their marriage.
He regretted it so much now.
