Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2088

He snorted and continued, “Not only that, he kept it hidden.

The reason he raised you was to assuage his guilt.

Plus, he wanted to personally groom a worthy successor.

And now, you’re growing more and more defiant.

Do you think he won’t find a way to rein you in?”

Nathan’s face twisted with malice as he recalled his recent conversation with Norton.

Norton had feigned illness, urging him to return.

Right after he left the National Security Bureau, Ronan vanished.

Furthermore, Norton had planted spies within the National Security Bureau.

Nathan had been investigating earlier in the afternoon, and now something had gone awry in the prison at night.

It was impossible for anyone not to suspect Norton.

Yet, Nathan remained silent, simply listening to Mylo’s words.

“Nathan, have you heard the truth from Norton?” Mylo wore a mysterious smile and said, “You know best if his words hold any truth.

Only I know what truly happened to your parents all those years ago.

But what I want from you is to call off the pursuit of Ronan.

Whether he’s alive or dead out there, it’s none of your concern anymore.

It should be a piece of cake for you.

Surely it won’t be troublesome, will it?”

Upon hearing this, Nathan fell silent for a moment before swiftly agreeing, much as he had done before with Norton.

“Fine.

I won’t send anyone to bring Ronan back.

Whether he lives or dies out there, it’s no longer my concern.

I simply want to uncover the secret you’re hiding.

”

Mylo was satisfied, but he emphasized cautiously, “Remember what you said.

No more arresting Ronan.

Lucinda heard it too.

As the master of the Payne family, Nathan, you must keep your word.

”

Nathan hummed coldly, his hands tucked in his pockets.

Though his attitude seemed nonchalant, Mylo was convinced, plus there was no other choice.

He glanced at Lucinda before declaring, “Nathan, I want to share the secret with you alone.

”

Nathan looked back at his wife.

Catching his drift, Lucinda nodded and left.

Once she was gone, Nathan peered down at Mylo and asked, “Now, can you tell me?”

Mylo extinguished his cigarette, motioning for Nathan to come closer.

“Walls have ears! I have my concerns.

”

Wearing a cold expression, Nathan suppressed his impatience, walking over and crouching in front of Mylo.

Mylo stood up, closing the distance between them.

In a hushed tone, he revealed the truth, a stark contrast to Norton’s version.

Nathan listened intently, his expression growing grimmer with each passing moment.

Immediately, he refuted, “That can’t be true!”

Mylo sneered.

“But it is the truth.

You only see how I’ve competed with you for family power all these years, but you’re oblivious to the role he played in the family.

If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself.

”

Nathan’s eyes darkened, torn between the opposing truths presented by Mylo and Norton.
