Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1832

Nala, adorned with delicate makeup, answered with a poised smile, “He’s in the restroom.

I’m waiting for him.

”

Lucinda gave a relaxed nod and suggested, “Miss Diaz, how about sitting down and chatting with me?”

“I’d be delighted.

”

Lucinda shifted aside, and Nala gracefully took her seat.

They remained a noticeable distance apart.

This sense of distance between them wouldn’t go away.

A minute passed by.

The silence was finally broken when Nala took the lead and began to speak.

“Miss Simmons, your collaboration with DoWeier Group means that your business can now expand into international markets.

Congratulations!”

Lucinda gazed at her lovely visage and replied in a composed manner, “I appreciate it.

”

Nala expressed her disappointment, saying, “It’s such a shame.

Your idea of expanding into the international market with DoWeier Group’s assistance may not work out.

However, it’s important to recognize that in this country, the Simmons and Payne families don’t hold the ultimate sway.

There’s always someone more influential.

”

Lucinda fixed her gaze on Nala, sensing a familiar air about her.

“Miss Diaz, upon our first encounter, you reminded me of someone from my past.

”

Nala’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, “Oh? Who might that be?”

“My sister.

” Lucinda spoke casually, yet her gaze remained locked on Nala.

A hint of astonishment crossed Nala’s face.

“Really? It was intriguing to hear you find a semblance between us.

”

Lucinda scoffed, “But I have no fondness for her.

She is just an illegitimate daughter of my father, harboring illusions of taking my place.

How laughable!”

Nala’s initial amusement faded, her eyes moistening.

“Are you trying to u
