“I took it upon myself to dig deeper into it. And then Nathan told me it wasn’t sulfuric acid, but some potent corrosive substance.”
Sonny let out a heavy sigh.
“He didn’t tell you the truth because he didn’t want you carrying the burden of guilt. Truth is, it was the $404 Virus.”
Virus?
Lucinda frowned and her heart skipped a beat.
Even though she had little to no knowledge of the medical practice, she could sense the gravity of the situation. It was far from a trivial problem.
Sonny sighed again and explained further, “This virus is strong and it is spreading rapidly. Currently, there’s no known antidote…”
Ten minutes later, Nathan sat in the head seat in the meeting room.
He was listening to Harry’s report and glanced at his watch.
Where was Sonny? He hadn’t returned yet.
Beneath the mask, his eyes darkened. He exuded an air of displeasure that permeated the entire meeting room.
The other directors held their breath, doing their best to make themselves inconspicuous.
They had all noticed that Nathan wasn’t in a good mood. They sensed that his anger could erupt at any moment.
Suddenly, a noise came from the outside.
“Miss Simmons! Mr. Payne is in a meeting. You can’t go in.”
Then, the meeting room door swung open forcefully.
Standing at the door, Lucinda locked her gaze onto Nathan.

ALL eyes in the meeting room fixated on Lucinda.
Yet, it seemed as though she was oblivious to their stares as her focus was solely on Nathan.
Nathan casually reached for the coffee on the table with his slender hand and took a sip with elegance. Without bothering to turn his head, he said in an indifferent tone, “Miss Simmons, if you have something to say, let’s discuss it after the meeting. Please, escort Miss Simmons to my office.”
“Yes, sir.”
The security guards were respectful and wanted to lead Lucinda away, but she shot them a cold glance.
Lucinda strode past them and headed straight for the man occupying the main seat in the meeting room.
