Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2040

Sonny’s complexion paled.

“Nathan, how long have you been here? Did you hear our conversation?”

Nathan nodded solemnly, his expression unreadable.

Observing both Sonny and Larry gulp nervously, Nathan spoke.

“I overheard your thoughts about yesterday’s punishment, Sonny.

If you’re dissatisfied, you should come to my office and discuss it with me privately.

”

Sonny’s expression froze, his face slightly darkened from the sun exposure at the border.

Yet, despite the outward appearance, it was hard to discern the inner paleness of his heart.

“Na… Nathan… It was wrong of me to say that!” Sonny swiftly apologized, trying to clarify.

“I didn’t intend to complain.

I just wanted to convey that your disciplinary action was fair and ultimately beneficial for me! It really is!”

Actually, the punishment left Sonny’s waist and back in agony, prompting him to let out a cry of pain.

Nathan couldn’t help but be amused by Sonny’s silly expression.

Suppressing a laugh, he retorted, “Enough of your nonsense.

Follow me to my office.

”

The last sentence hit Sonny like a bolt from the blue, its echoes reverberating in his ears.

Regret gnawed at Sonny as he realized Nathan’s words meant trouble.

If he complied and went to the office, punishment was inevitable.

With his arms feeling weak and sore, Sonny pondered how much longer he could endure another wall handstand.

He felt a deep sadness and desperation as he trailed behind Nathan, contemplating how to plead his case later.

Should he grab Nathan’s legs and burst into tears once they were in the office?

Larry cast a sympathetic glance at Sonny.

In the blink of an eye, he hurried away, fearing he might become entangled in the situation.

Feeling frustrated, Sonny trailed behind Nathan into his office, his head hung low, contemplating how best to plead his case and avoid being dismissed.

Lost in thought, Sonny was startled when Nathan waved his hand in front of him.

“Nathan, what’s up?”

Nathan frowned, “What’s on your mind? You didn’t even hear what I said.

”

Sonny rubbed his forehead and quickly came up with an excuse.

I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’ve been feeling a bit distracted Nathan chose not to pursue the matter further.

“What about Mylo? Is he behaving well?”

Sonny shook his head.

“Last night, he caused quite a commotion in the room for half the night.

He was shouting, claiming you were disrespectful to him.

Eventually, after realizing no one was paying him any heed, he quieted down.

”

Nathan listened attentively, his expression unreadable.

“It appears he hasn’t faced consequences for his actions yet.

The National Security Bureau is under my authority, but he dares to challenge me because he holds leverage.

Unfortunately, I’m unable to take direct action against him.

”

“He holds leverage? Did he make any threats against you?” Sonny asked, his tone serious.

With a grave expression, Nathan took a deep breath and settled into his chair.

“I need your assistance with something crucial.

It concerns a car accident that occurred decades ago.

I need you to locate the news documents about that accident and see if there’s anything suspicious.

”

Sonny nodded in understanding.

“Okay, I’ll get right on it.

”
