In that sense, he did owe Lucinda.
Nathaniel had been wanting to divorce Lucinda for a long time, but because of Logan, he had been forced to delay it and ended up wasting three years of her life.
“Okay, I’ll sign.”
He picked up the pen on the desk and signed his name on the right corner of the document immediately.
He thought that would be the end of it.
But to his surprise, Lucinda pulled out a small gift box from the drawer and presented it to him. With a smile on her face, she said, “This is for you too. Open it and take a look.”
Nathaniel grew suspicious as he took hold of the gift box and pried it open. Inside, he found a syringe that was about the size of a little finger.
The syringe contained a strange, transparent substance.
It didn’t look like anything good.
With a furrowed brow, Nathaniel glared at the syringe. Lucinda noticed his expression and quickly chimed in to explain herself.
“I know that you’re a skilled fighter, and I can’t take you on in a physical fight. So I have to take precautions.”
It was truly not something good!
Nathaniel’s expression grew even more serious as he considered what he was holding in his hand.
Lucinda seemed to understand his thoughts and quickly assured him, “Don’t worry, it’s not poison or anything. It’s just a drug that will make you weak for the next two months. You’ll still be able to do the household chores and everything else. Well, you’ll feel some pain while the injection is active in your system, but that’s it.
You also have to take another one every two months.”
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Lucinda seemed almost nonchalant about it all.

She smiled as though they were simply discussing what to have for dinner.
Lucinda paid no attention to the fact that Nathaniel’s demeanor was growing colder by the moment.
He shot her a warning glance with his piercing eyes.
“Aren’t you scared? You do realize that if you push me too far, I could easily attack you right now, right?”
Lucinda was unfazed. She waved her hand dismissively.
“Oh please, we’re in my territory now. If you make a move, the bodyguards in this building will swarm in and take you down. I know you’re strong enough to take on ten men, but what about twenty?
Thirty?”
She paused for a while and then flashed an evil grin.
