Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1534

She combed through every bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, yet Zenia and Destinee were nowhere to be found.

With each passing moment, the unease in Lucinda’s heart grew stronger.

In a hurry, she rushed outside the villa and instructed Abel and Rickey to guard the front and back doors.

No one was to be allowed to leave at this critical moment.

Her hands trembled, and her heart pounded in her chest.

She clutched the microphone and wanted to ascend the stage to deliver a fierce message to anyone with sinister intentions.

Nathan gently clasped her wrist, urging her to calm down.

“Lucinda, let me handle this, alright?”

She shook off his hand in disbelief, her emotions running high.

“Nathan, what if someone took Destinee away while we were distracted?

Kidnappings happen in wealthy families every time.

She’s your daughter as well.

Aren’t you bothered that she might have been taken away?”

His eyes welled up with tears, and he stood resolutely in front of her.

“Lucinda, I understand your concerns, but acting recklessly won’t help.

Trust me, I’ll take care of it.

”

Lucinda said nothing and agreed.

Nathan then instructed Sonny to continue entertaining the guests in the garden and asked Abel to find out if any guest had just left the garden.

Once assured that no suspicious person was identified among the guests, Nathan tasked Larry and Lonnie with a discreet search of N&L Fairy Land.

Ten minutes later, in a secluded corner of the backyard, Larry spotted Zenia, cradling little Destinee in her arms.

Lucinda and Nathan rushed over.

When Zenia spotted them, she looked puzzled.

“Sir, madam, what the matter? You both look worried.

”

Lucinda was about to inquire further, but Nathan intervened and spoke in a composed manner.

“Zenia, why did you take Destinee to the backyard?”

Zenia explained, “Mr.

Payne, as soon as you left, Destinee woke up all chatty and eager to play.

I was worried she might wake Colby up, so I brought her to the quiet backyard to soothe her.

She had just slept back, and I was about to bring her back to her room.

”

Lucinda let out a relieved breath and approached Zenia to take a look at Destinee.

True enough, Destinee was sound asleep.

She was wearing the delicate silver bracelet with her name etched on it.

It was a special gift from Lucinda.

In that moment, all of Lucinda’s anxiety dissipated like mist under the sun.
