The ramifications of his actions extended beyond himself, casting a long shadow over Ronan and even Ronan’s future children.

Due to Nylo’s tainted reputation as a criminal, Ronan’s hopes of restoring his position in high society would be irreparably damaged.

Ronan’s prospects would indeed be shattered.

Mylo’s deeds would undoubtedly cast a dark cloud over Ronan’s future.

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Mylo’s mind, his panic intensifying with each passing moment.

Nathan’s unwavering resolve had caught him off guard, leaving him grappling with the harsh reality of his predicament.

Abandoning the unfinished cigarette, Mylo hastily rose from the floor, his desperation driving him to pursue Nathan in a last-ditch attempt to negotiate once more.

“Nathan, please, hear me out! I was intoxicated when the accident occurred; it wasn’t intentional.

I’ve carried the burden of guilt for all these years.

You can’t cast me out of the Payne family.

You can’t!”

The iron door of the cell sealed shut just as Mylo reached out, his fingers grazing Nathan’s coat, but it was too late.

“Nathan!”

Despite Mylo’s furious outburst, Nathan maintained a composed demeanor, his expression unruffled as he calmly exited the detention room.

Upon his return to his office, Nathan found Lucinda waiting patiently at the door, her presence a comforting sight amidst the turmoil that had unfolded.

Concern etched across her features, Lucinda stood steadfast at the door, her worry mounting with each passing moment of Nathan’s absence.

“How did everything unfold?” she inquired, her concern evident in her gentle tone as Nathan drew near.

Nathan tenderly caressed her delicate cheek before responding with a reassuring smile, “Everything’s in hand.

The matters will soon be resolved, allowing us to journey forward unburdened by any lingering concerns.

Despite Nathan’s outward calmness, Lucinda couldn’t shake off her internal apprehensions, her worries silently lingering beneath the surface.

“What are your plans regarding Mylo?”

“Expulsion from the family, exclusion from elite circles, legal consequences, and imprisonment for reflection.

Lucinda found the last two punishments acceptable.

However, the first two were not easy to achieve.

“Mylo is Grandpa’s biological son.

It’s doubtful Grandpa would consent to severing their father-son bond.

Furthermore, from what everyone has attested, Mylo consumed a substantial amount of alcohol that night and was behind the wheel while intoxicated.

Although the resulting accident was severe, it wasn’t premeditated.

Convincing the Payne family elders to disown him will likely prove challenging.

Nathan maintained his composure.

“It was Jeff who was inebriated.

Mylo has quite a high alcohol tolerance.

He was sufficiently Lucid to talk with Jeff while he was driving.

He feigned intoxication.

Mylo aimed to exploit the situation to deflect the charge of attempted murder.

Anyway, Mylo couldn’t get away with his crime.

The difference lay in whether he received a light or heavy sentence.

This issue could be resolved easily as long as Norton stayed out of it.
