“You’re such a naughty little girl. I was so worried about you.”
Rubbing the tip of her nose dotingly, Cyrus explained, “Mary told me that you were going out for a fight, so I came. How’d it go? Do you need help?”
“Nah, it’s over. How can five weaklings defeat me?” Lucinda smiled at him innocently.
Overhearing this, even though Nathaniel already knew that she was a skilled fighter, he was still taken aback.
She beat up five men?
That definitely wasn’t something an ordinary woman could do.
Confused, he began to wonder just how much this woman was hiding from him.
What happened these days had solidified his guess that she wasn’t just an orphan. She must’ve kept some secrets from him while they were married. When he looked at her, his deep-set eyes had a curious light to them.
Cyrus, on the other hand, was completely unfazed, as though he had already expected her to win.

Lucinda trotted back to the cabin, followed closely by Cyrus, Nathaniel, and their respective bodyguards.
The kidnappers were strewn on the floor, groaning in pain. But just when they thought they could relax, Lucinda returned with Cyrus and Nathaniel-two of the most formidable men in Forden.
Cyrus was the first to speak.
“How dare you threaten her? I’ll teach you boys a valuable lesson today-don’t mess with someone you can’t afford to offend.”
Nathaniel’s eyes flashed with annoyance when he heard what Cyrus said.
The latter acted so intimate with Lucinda. He then waved his hand, and several bodyguards immediately stopped the four men in black who were struggling on the ground.
“How dare you lay a finger on her?” Nathaniel growled.
The kidnappers scrambled to get on their knees, desperately begging for mercy.
“Please, we were hired to do it! We didn’t mean to hurt this beautiful lady. We’re sorry. Please spare me!”

It never occurred to them that Lucinda was backed up by both Cyrus and Nathaniel! Even a gangster like the leader of this group knew about how ruthless these two men were. Thinking about the various torture methods these men were known for, he regretted crossing paths with Lucinda.
Lucinda, Cyrus, and Nathaniel all looked at the man who spoke.
Lucinda walked up to him and demanded, “Who hired you to kidnap Noelle?”
“It was a woman! She ordered us to kidnap Noelle. Then we were ordered to send you a message. She said she’d give us a million dollars when the job was done. A million dollars! So I agreed.
Please believe me. I didn’t mean to hurt you!”
If he had known that there were so many powerful men backing up his employer’s target, he would never have agreed to the job!
