After much contemplation, she came to a decision.
The following morning, she got dressed and put on makeup before heading to the Payne family’s residence. However, instead of seeking out Nathan, she went straight to Norton.
Norton noticed the solemn expression on her face and realized that she had something important to discuss. He led her to the reception room after breakfast.
However, upon hearing her out, he looked at her incredulously, as did Kern.
“Lucinda, are you being serious right now?” Norton asked.
“You and Nathan just got engaged two days ago. Are you really going to call it off so soon?”
With her eyes gleaming with determination, Lucinda stated, “Sir, I don’t think we’re compatible. We can still be friends, though.”

Norton, who was still taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, demanded, “Did Nathan do something? Tell me if he did. I’ll punish him for you!”
“No, he didn’t. It’s just..”

Cancelling it would result in devastating losses for both the Payne Group and the Simmons Group, and they would be subject to widespread online public condemnation.
It would have a major effect on their standing in the community.
Moreover, Norton was not the head of the family anymore. Since Nathan was now dealing with all the Payne family’s business, she would have to consult with him before ending the engagement.
However, based on his personality, he would not agree to end the engagement even if she pointed a gun at his head.
Lucinda was upset, but there was nothing she could do about it.
It looked like Nathan’s plan had succeeded.
She knew now why Cyrus had stayed engaged to Melody for over two years, despite his intense dislike for her. Cancelling an engagement with another member of a wealthy family was not an easy task.
Lucinda sighed.
She had to come up with a new strategy. For the time being, she was going to avoid Nathan.
