“You underestimate the seriousness of my engagement with Nathan. I can’t make a decision like that.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. You are the apple of the Simmons family’s eye.
Calling off the engagement would only result in a minor financial loss for you. If you desire it, I believe Graham would be willing to comply,” Kyson asserted.
Lucinda pursed her lips, choosing not to respond.
Kyson pressed on, “Besides, aren’t you curious about his secrets? I guarantee you’ll be dying to know them. Bail me out, end the engagement, and marry me. These three conditions are non-negotiable.”
Lucinda bowed her head and was silent for a long time.
She clenched her fists. The blue veins beneath her smooth and delicate skin was very visible.
“What’s your decision? Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind.”
Raising her gaze to meet Kyson’s, she stated with determination, “I despise being threatened the most. Breaking off the engagement and marrying you is utterly impossible for me.”
Kyson had caused harm to Nathan in Forden before. If Nathan discovered that she ended their engagement to marry Kyson, he would be devastated.
Nathan had done so much for her. She didn’t want to betray him or have him misunderstand her.
The smile vanished from Kyson’s face.
He sat there, stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t anticipate Lucinda rejecting him so decisively.
“It seems we can’t come to an agreement. Goodbye then.”
Lucinda placed the phone down and walked away without glancing backward.

Kyson was stunned and then he snapped.
Suddenly, he rose to his feet and slammed his handcuffed hands against the bulletproof glass, creating a deafening noise.
“Lucinda! Come back! Don’t you want to know his condition? He doesn’t have much time left. He’s surely on the verge of death. Is it worth it? I am the one most suited to be your husband.”
The prison guards swiftly intervened, subduing the frantic Kyson.
His head was forced onto the ground, and he erupted into deranged laughter.
“Lucinda! Sooner or later, you’ll come back to me! You’ll be mine for the rest of your life!”
In the visitation room, the man’s eerie and unhinged laughter echoed until a prison guard struck him with an electric baton. The caused his entire body to jerk before he lost consciousness.
The glass had excellent sound insulation, preventing Lucinda from hearing his outburst, and she never looked back.
