Graham looked up and stared at the bedroom window on the third floor of the villa. There was a determined glint in his eyes.
“Sir…” Abel tried persuading him repeatedly, but Graham stayed put.
After a while, Abel heaved a long sigh and turned away, shaking his head as he left Graham.
As luck would have it, Sonny and Luisa arrived just a few moments later. They had come over to visit Lucinda. Naturally, they saw Graham standing stoically in front of the gates.
His eyes were still fixed on the third floor windows, and he paid no mind to the visiting pair.

Luisa had learned from Sonny all that had gone down within the Simmons family. Upon seeing Graham, she couldn’t resist stomping over and giving him a piece of her mind.
“You are Lucinda’s eldest brother, yet you helped another woman hurt and frame her. Not just once, but so many times! You are the worst!
You know what? Your betrayal hurt her the most, and if I were Lucinda, I will never forgive you for as long as I live!”
Her disdain was clear as she looked Graham up and down.
Sonny didn’t try to stop her or scold her for berating the other man.
He simply stared at Graham and waited for Luisa to finish before speaking.
“Do you want to know how to convince Lucinda to forgive you?”
Graham’s interest was finally piqued. He turned to Sonny, his eyes silently seeking an explanation.
Recalling Nathan’s recent message, Sonny proceeded, “Lucinda is a woman of principle. Valerie has hurt her multiple times, and she deserves to face the consequences. You shouldn’t have come to plead for mercy on her behalf.”
“Pleading for Valerie?” Graham frowned.
“Lucinda didn’t kill Valerie, which is merciful enough. I won’t plead for Valerie. She deserves whatever punishments come her way.”
Graham’s voice was hoarse from standing in the cold rain all night.
Seeing that Graham was being fair this time, Sonny continued, “Valerie was sent to the countryside to work. After completing her daily tasks, she will receive ten lashes and then be required to kneel down and read the Buddhist scriptures aloud throughout the night. If she fails to finish the reading, she cannot rest. This is a suitable means of repentance, don’t you think so?”
Understanding the unspoken message, Graham nodded.
“Nathan asked you to talk to me? Please thank him for me. This time, it’s indeed my fault. I’m glad he’s willing to help Lucinda with the development of the Simmons Group.”
Having said that, Graham turned away, walking slowly, his Legs feeling numb and unable to move quickly.
Sonny gazed at Graham’s back, sighing inwardly, hoping that this time, Graham would truly comprehend Nathan’s intentions and make the right choices.
“Don’t worry about him, Sonny. Let’s head inside. If we’re too late, there might not be any food left for us! Besides, don’t you want to try Nathan’s famous fried eggs?”
Luisa tugged at Sonny’s hand, bringing him back to the present.
