Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1924

Graham was taken aback.

He had once offered himself for punishment, only to be halted by Lucinda.

Why did she now decide to reinstate his penance?

He was uncertain of her intentions, but her distant demeanor left him feeling wounded.

“Alright, I understand.

I’ll do as you say.

Lucinda glanced at her watch with an indifferent expression.

“It’s the afternoon already.

Shouldn’t you be heading to the ancestral temple?”

Without a backward glance, Graham stood and exited the villa.

The ancestral temple was located in the old villa previously occupied by Atticus, necessitating Graham’s visit there.

As he departed, Nala rose to her feet.

“Where are you headed, Mr.

Simmons?”

Before Graham could reply, Lucinda interjected, “He’s undergoing a family sanction.

It concerns only the Simmons’ matters; your presence isn’t required.

I shall check on him myself.

”

With that, Lucinda left the villa as well.

Outside, she sought Gilbert, the butler at Atticus’s former residence, for a private discussion.

“What is it you need, Miss Simmons?”

Gazing towards the ancestral temple, Lucinda instructed, “Gilbert, I need you to monitor the ancestral temple in the coming days.

Ensure you’re outside whenever Graham is there to read the scriptures.

Should anyone else arrive, inform me immediately.

”

“Understood, Miss Simmons.

You can count on me.

”

“Okay.

Remember, keep a low profile.

We don’t want to draw attention.

”

“Understood.

”

Lucinda then made her way past the ancestral temple, pausing briefly.

Through the walls, she could distinctly hear Graham’s strained chants.

Mixed emotions surged within her as she stood listening.

After a moment, she continued on her way.

Her observation of Nala had been keen throughout their visit.

Initially, Nala seemed impeccable, yet upon reflection, inconsistencies began to emerge.

Nala showed a particular interest in Graham.

While she was cordial with Violeta, her interaction lacked the same intensity as with Graham.
