Kyson kept repeating his amorous declaration, and the fire in his eyes never diminished. And although his face was covered with bruises, Lucinda had to admit that he was still handsome.
Not that she wanted to waste her time appreciating his beauty.
“Do you even hear yourself? If Nathaniel hadn’t protected me, I would have been the one to get hurt. Yet you say that you didn’t mean to do it?”
Her eyes turned even colder.
“Stop lying. I just want to know which member of the Simmons family want me dead. Tell me, and I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Kyson lowered his eyes, his smile turning into one of sadness this time.
“You might let me go, but he won’t.”
He?
Lucinda frowned.
“Who is this person, exactly?”
Kyson sighed and looked up again.
“That manservant of yours is not a good person. He has been deceiving you all this time. Believe me, he has even more secrets than I care to keep. Don’t fall for his tricks!”
“Of course, I know he has secrets,” Lucinda retorted indifferently.
“I’ve always known. I just don’t care enough to look into them.”

She wasn’t interested in whatever secrets he had since they would eventually part ways.
Kyson’s face lit up.
“Ah, it seems that you don’t care about him, after all! That’s great. You should be thanking me, don’t you think?
I mean, I did help you get rid of that pest.”
When Lucinda looked confused by his words, Kyson made a show of looking surprised.
“You don’t know? My, he really isn’t an honest person, is he? You should check his wound and see for yourself. Then, you will know just how much he has kept from you.”
Check his wound?
It was burned by the sulfuric acid, right?
What more could there be? Lucinda’s eyes narrowed at the faint smile playing on Kyson’s Lips.
