Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2041

Nathan instructed, “Then, please begin now.

”

“That’s all?” Sonny was taken aback.

Did Nathan just let him off the hook? No physically punishment?

Noticing Sonny’s lingering presence, Nathan adopted a_ serious expression.

He tapped his fingers on the table and teased, “You don’t seem to be in a hurry to leave? Do you want to do hundreds of push-ups to warm up? Or perhaps you’d like to do a wall handstand for two hours to clear your mind?”

Sonny’s nerves fluttered at Nathan’s words, but he quickly steadied himself.

“Of course not.

I’ll attend to your instructions immediately.

It’s of utmost importance.

”

He swiftly pivoted and dashed off with purpose as though fearing Nathan’s reprimand should his pace falter.

Observing Sonny’s brisk departure, Nathan couldn’t help but chuckle softly to himself.

“Hmph, mischievous fellow!”

With Sonny gone, Nathan turned his attention to his tasks, diving into his responsibilities with resolve.

Thirty minutes later, he summoned Larry.

“Organize a team to locate Ronan and ensure his swift return.

We can’t risk him fleeing abroad.

”

“Understood, sir!”

As noon approached, Lucinda’s appetite vanquished, her thoughts preoccupied with Nathan’s revelations about his parents’ demise the previous night.

Ronan and Mylo harbored a shared desire for power, each yearning for the position of master of the Payne family.

Their ambitions had led them to conspire against Nathan on multiple occasions, driven by their relentless pursuit of authority.

Nathan chose not to mete out harsh punishment to Ronan and Mylo, despite their continued scheming, as they were Norton’s grandson and son.

Instead, he relegated them to subordinate positions within a subsidiary company, banishing them from returning to their former prominence.

This leniency stemmed from Norton’s influence, prompting Nathan to make this concession.

Yet, Norton heeded Mylo’s request and facilitated Ronan’s return to Stastle.

Ronan proved to be the most troublesome of the two.

Despite his recent return, his actions quickly escalated, culminating in intentional harm inflicted upon Norton.

It became clear that without severe repercussions from Nathan, Ronan would not learn to exercise restraint.

Should Nathan acquiesce to Mylo’s plea and release Ronan from consequences, it would signify a relinquishment of his authority and strategic advantage.

Given the gravity of the situation, particularly with Nathan’s parents implicated, Lucinda recognized the imperative to assist Nathan in finding a decisive resolution.

Lost in contemplation, she found herself pushing her food around on the plate, barely managing to consume half of her meal in the canteen.

After the lunch break, Lucinda returned to the Paynes’ house and made her way to Norton’s villa.

Norton was deeply sensitive regarding Nathan’s parents’ death.

Lucinda knew that if she asked him directly, he wouldn’t disclose the details.

Thus, she needed to seek information from someone else.

Lucinda visited Norton in the bedroom.

After several days of recuperation, Norton’s mental state had improved.

He was now able to sit in a wheelchair and was being escorted to the garden by Kern for some relaxation.

Norton’s face lit up with joy upon seeing her.

He reached out to hold her hand and engaged in cheerful conversation.

Amid their interaction, he instructed Zenia to take the two babies outside to enjoy the sunshine in the garden.

The sight of them laughing and playing together in the garden radiated harmony and beauty.

Colby and Destinee’s bright smiles lifted Norton’s spirits, putting him in a joyful mood.
