Raising the whip again, Lucinda found her hand shaking.
After a prolonged wait, Nathan still felt no pain.

Despite her rage, she couldn’t bring herself to use such a vicious weapon on him. She felt a pang of pity and didn’t want to inflict severe harm.
His little scheme had defeated her.

Understanding that his words weren’t convincing, he attempted to rephrase and clarify, “Miss Simmons, Master Nathan did not know of this. It was me…”
However, Lucinda had made up her mind and didn’t bother to Listen any further, Without a glance backward, she left the house.
Once she was gone, Sonny regretfully sighed and rushed into the villa to check on Nathan.
