Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2104

Mylo’s indifference remained palpable as Nathan entered the cell, his gaze fixed on the cigarette between his fingers as he continued to smoke, seemingly unfazed by Nathan’s presence.

Despite Mylo’s apparent disinterest, he couldn’t help but sense the chilling hostility radiating from Nathan as the cell door creaked open.

Mylo’s exhale mingled with the smoke, his tone tinged with a hint of relief as he spoke.

“Seems like you’ve got it all figured out.

You think I’m the one spinning lies and pointing fingers, while Norton’s playing the protector.

”

Nathan’s silence was deafening as he advanced steadily toward Mylo, his every step resonating with purpose.

Mylo’s sneer deepened as he spoke, his words laced with a bitter truth.

“Truth be told, there are no innocents in the Payne family.

While I may have orchestrated the accident, Norton, Jeff, Kern, and even your beloved Aunt Agate were all complicit in its concealment of the truth.

They’re all guilty.

”

His gaze lingered on Nathan’s clenched fists, a smug satisfaction flickering in his eyes as he savored the moment.

With a sense of triumph, he indulged in a few more drags of his cigarette.

“Why do you think your aunt Agate has been overseas for so many years, adamantly refusing to return home? It’s because she carries the weight of guilt and can’t bear to face you.

Everyone in the Payne family knew I was responsible for your parents’ deaths.

Yet, for years, they kept you in the dark.

If it weren’t for me bringing it to light, you might have remained oblivious for a lifetime.

You lost your parents when you were just a child.

All those who professed to love you kept the truth hidden to protect a murderer.

Don’t you find that utterly pathetic?”

With each barb he delivered, Mylo’s Laughter grew louder.

Nathan’s eyes narrowed, a fleeting glint of murderous intent concealed within their depths.

“It appears you’ve grown rather accustomed to the confines of this solitary cell, Mylo.

However, let’s not forget that you attempted to assassinate me, the Director of the National Security Bureau.

It would be prudent for you to join other prisoners until the outcome of your trial is determined.

”

Mylo’s disdainful snort echoed through the cell, a testament to his confidence.

Nathan’s retaliation, though formidable, failed to intimidate a seasoned individual like himself.

Nathan’s sarcastic smirk widened as he observed Mylo’s reaction.

“Do you think this is the end of it?”

A moment of hesitation flickered across Mylo’s features as his hand faltered.

With tendrils of smoke swirling around him, Mylo lifted his gaze, his eyes clouded with uncertainty as they met Nathan’s unwavering stare.

In the hushed stillness of the room, Nathan’s words cut through the air with chilling clarity.

“I intend to convene a family meeting to formally expel you from the Payne lineage, Mylo.

Your wife and son will be stripped of their ties to the Payne family as well.

Your cherished son will never again find refuge under the mantle of the Payne family.

How do you suppose he’ll fare without the protection of the Payne family?”

Mylo’s expression darkened, a storm brewing behind his eyes, as his fingers tightened around the cigarette with a rigid intensity.

“You intend to kick my whole family out of the Payne family? Nathan, do you believe you hold authority to dictate this?”

Nathan’s demeanor remained composed as he replied, “Let’s wait and see.

”

With a final glance, Nathan pivoted on his heel and strode away.

Refusing to concede defeat, Mylo’s voice echoed after Nathan.

“I refuse to believe it! Your grandfather will never allow such actions.

He will never allow the truth of the car accident to be exposed to the public eye.

He will never sever ties with me! Never!”

Nathan’s voice sliced through the air with icy precision, devoid of emotion.

“He has retired.

Henceforth, he no longer holds authority over the Payne family.

”

“Nathan! My dear nephew, please reconsider!”

At this juncture, panic began to grip Mylo’s demeanor.

Exclusion from the family lineage signified a loss of the formidable protection afforded by the influential Payne name.

In prison, he would be reduced to just another inmate, stripped of the privileges and connections that had shielded him thus far.
