Lucinda furrowed her brow. Wasn’t Nathan at the border three days ago?
He returned to Stastle ahead of schedule, but he didn’t come back to her that night. It was strange that he went to the lab instead.
Her intuition nagged at her, telling her that something was amiss.
“Can you hack into the lab’s database and check Nathan’s records there?”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
“I’m sorry, boss. The lab is a highly classified facility. We can’t risk hacking into their system. If we tried, we’d be detected instantly.”
“Okay, I understand.”
After Lucinda hung up the call, her mind was once again consumed by thoughts.
As the leader of the National Security Bureau, Nathan held a position on par with Graham. If he wanted to conceal something, even if Lucinda asked Graham to investigate, the evidence would likely have been tampered long ago.
She felt utterly powerless, left to rely on her own conjectures.
While she contemplated, Lucinda got a call from Gilbert.
“Miss Simmons, the high-level prison in Stastle contacted the Simmons family today. They said Kyson wants to see you.”
“Kyson?”
Lucinda found herself perplexed. Kyson had been behind bars for over six months, so why did he suddenly want to see her?
‘s
Gilbert added, “Kyson claims to have a crucial secret. He’s convinced that it’s something you’d want to know, and it involves your ex-husband.”

Hearing the last few words, Lucinda frowned and her expression grew increasingly serious.
“Alright,” she replied curtly.
With determination in her eyes, Lucinda immediately ended the call and headed to the high-level prison. She was eager to know what Kyson had to say.
Lucinda sat in the visiting room and waited quietly across two soundproof windows.
After about five minutes, Kyson was escorted into the room.
This was the first time Lucinda had laid eyes on Kyson in over six months.
Kyson was wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles which caused his steps to be slow.
His arms and neck bore visible bruises, and his appearance was disheveled, with rough skin. He looked entirely different from the once delicate and charming man he used to be.
If it weren’t for his striking blue eyes, Lucinda wouldn’t have recognized him.
