Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2075

“Until twelve o’clock.

”

After a pause, Lucinda replied, “Are you going to have dinner at the National Security Bureau?”

“Yes, I am.

”

After sending his reply, Nathan waited, but Lucinda didn’t respond for a long while, which deepened his sadness.

Lucinda was used to the meals Nathan prepared, and knowing she’d miss out tonight because he couldn’t cook for her would surely upset her.

Nathan sighed, his resolve hardening.

He was resolute in uncovering the answers today.

Just after six pm, there was a knock on the door, and a police officer from the detention room walked in.

In a foul mood, Nathan asked in a low, angry voice, “What’s up?”

The police officer, momentarily startled, quickly replied, “Mr.

Payne, we’ve delivered breakfast, lunch, and water, but Mylo hasn’t eaten anything.

He gave it all to Ronan.

”

“Ronan is Mylo’s only son; of course, he’s going to take good care of him,” Nathan responded.

The officer added, “There’s also been a touching scene of father and son embracing in the cell.

It appears Mylo has no intention of confessing yet.

”

Without looking up and continuing to write, Nathan said evenly, “I see.

Keep watching them.

”

“Yes, Mr.

Payne.

”

Once the officer had left, the tension in the office escalated.

Nathan’s expression turned cold and threatening, and his handwriting quickened.

He was haunted by Kern’s earlier words.

Could his grandfather have planted a mole among his staff, or maintained some old military contacts within the National Security Bureau?

He also wondered why his grandfather was so eager to intervene on behalf of Ronan, who had only sustained minor bruises and scratches.

Could his grandfather have had a role in the car accident that killed his parents?

These thoughts circled in his mind until he heard a snap.

Nathan had pressed so hard that he bent the pen’s nib.

Black ink spilled out, ruining the document he had just completed.

One drop of ink spoiled the entire page, rendering it unusable.
