“Where did you hear that?”
“The agent of that female star spread the news that the two of you had a brawl at the Payne Group. If I hadn’t intervened, both the Payne and Simmons families’ stocks would be in turmoil by now.”
Valerie was such a troublemaker!
Lucinda felt a surge of annoyance, but she had more pressing matters at hand.
She hung her head, unsure of how to explain the situation to Graham.
After all, she couldn’t divulge Nathan’s illness just yet.
Graham rose from his seat and elegantly rolled up his suit sleeves.
His voice dripped with coldness as he asked, “What excuse do you plan to conjure up to deceive me this time?”

Lucinda cast her gaze downward, unable to meet Graham’s wrathful stare. In the face of her brother’s anger, she felt suffocated and her throat tightened with unease.
Despite being the pampered princess of the Simmons family, a profound fear of Graham had etched itself into her heart since she was little.
