Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2046

Irritated, Ronan turned to Darin.

“Darin, please beat him severely.

Let’s see if he dares to insult me again.

”

Darin hesitated, feeling a twinge of discomfort at being bossed around by Ronan.

Given the animosity between Nathan and Ronan, he eventually yielded to Ronan’s request.

He rose to confront the trembling men, but one of his associates pulled him back, whispering, “Darin, I doubt Ronan’s reliability.

If he truly had the power to challenge Nathan, he wouldn’t be here.

”

Ronan’s confidence wavered, yet he retorted boldly, “Everyone makes mistakes.

Even Darin, with all his gang and martial arts prowess, was caught by Nathan.

I might not have physical skills, but I use my intellect.

Is one slip not permitted?”

The associate fell silent, realizing that to argue further would undermine Darin’s own credibility.

From across the cell, another voice chimed in, “What’s your father’s name, Ronan?”

“My father is Mylo Payne,” Ronan stated.

A murmur ran through the cell as the inmates whispered the name among themselves.

Darin repeated it several times, contemplative.

In Stastle, Nathan’s name was well-known, but Mylo? He was unheard of.

The man in the corner laughed softly, continuing, “Perhaps not everyone is aware, but I am.

Mylo has been marginalized within the Payne family and holds no real power.

Does he even stand a chance against Nathan?”

Darin’s understanding clicked immediately.

He seized Ronan by the collar, his anger palpable.

“How dare you deceive me?”

Ronan shook his head frantically.

“No, I haven’t lied.

My father was far stronger than Nathan before he was sidelined.

He’s been preparing, and once I’m out, he’ll definitely take Nathan down.

”

Darin maintained his grip on Ronan’s collar, his actions betraying a mix of skepticism and restraint.

From the corner, the man with the deep voice added, “Just last night, I overheard the guards talking.

Your father, Mylo, is also here, imprisoned just a few soundproof cells away.

”

With both Ronan and Mylo behind bars, how could they possibly challenge Nathan?

In a fit of irritation, Darin slapped Ronan across the face.

Ronan collapsed, unable to stand.

“Son of a bitch! How dare you manipulate us all afternoon? Do you think we’re fools?” Darin bellowed.

Ronan covered his face, groaning as he was trampled upon.

Through the pain, he yelled desperately, “No, I swear! Nathan is my sworn enemy.

If you mistreat me, Nathan would only be pleased.

”

Darin’s men, who had been under Ronan’s orders all afternoon and were already disgruntled, now surged forward to lift him up.

“You! What are you doing?” Ronan huffed.

Darin pinched Ronan’s chin and smirked at his pained expression.

“You wanted them to demonstrate the game.

Why don’t you show us how it’s done?”

Ronan shook his head violently.

“No, I can’t! Absolutely not!”

As a member of the Payne family, such humiliation was inconceivable!

“Come on.

You’ll adapt soon enough.

You can either cooperate and demonstrate, or face a beating,” Darin sneered, offering Ronan a cruel ultimatum.
