Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2109

Confused by the question, Larry responded, “Yes, I’ve been following Sonny around recently.

What’s wrong with that?”

“No wonder you’re so clueless and can’t find a girlfriend.

You’ve caught the clueless aura from Sonny.

”

At a loss for words, Larry felt a pang of despair.

It was painful, especially since Sonny, often criticized by Nathan, had managed to find a girlfriend and they were even about to get engaged, casting Larry’s own romantic struggles in a harsher light.

The thought nearly brought Larry to tears.

Just as he was grappling with how to respond to Nathan’s relentless marriage talk, there was a knock at the door.

Seizing the distraction, Larry quickly said, “Sir, let me get the door.

” He went to the door, turned the handle, and exchanged a brief look with the police officer waiting outside before seizing the moment to slip away.

The officer, hesitant to step inside, remained at the doorway and reported, “Mr.

Payne, the butler from the Payne family is here.

He says he has a very important matter to discuss with you.

”

Inside the office, Nathan quietly stored away the documents containing Mylo’s confession.

As Kern bypassed the officer, he entered the room and discreetly locked the door behind him, his actions tinged with caution.

Nathan did not look up.

It was only after Kern had approached the desk that he sneered.

“You’ve come at just the right time.

Tomorrow, I will hold an assembly at the ancestral temple to denounce Mylo.

”

Kern sighed deeply.

“Mr.

Payne, you’ve misunderstood your grandfather.

He knows that you’ve made up your mind, and he has no intention of pleading on behalf of Mylo.

He’s simply concerned because you’ve been overworking, and on the night your wife took Colby and Destinee, you failed to visit him.

He’s worried about you, so he sent me to check on you.

”

“You’ve seen me.

I’m in good condition and quite healthy.

There’s no need for him to worry about me,” Nathan responded coldly.

Kern, looking sorrowful, asked, “Mr.

Payne, aren’t you concerned about your grandfather’s current situation?”

“He doesn’t need my feigned concern.

A medical team is attending to his health, which reassures me,” Nathan replied.

Straightening the cuffs of his military uniform meticulously, he added, “By the way, Norton has been having issues with his legs and is receiving medical care.

There’s no need for him to attend the assembly tomorrow.

Please assure him he can rest and entrust all matters to me, the current head of the Payne family.

I will handle everything appropriately.

”

Kern was visibly taken aback.

Though Nathan spoke diplomatically, the clear implication was that Norton was not allowed at the assembly.

Nathan intended to represent Norton, dealing with Mylo, the son deemed a disgrace, and severing their father-son relationship.

“Mr.

Payne…”

Nathan frowned in displeasure, not eager to endure more of Kern’s lectures.

“I still have much to do at the National Security Bureau.

If there’s nothing else, you should head back to the Paynes’ house first.

Having you by Norton’s side will put everyone at ease.

”

It was a clear dismissal, and Kern knew better than to linger and interfere with Nathan’s official responsibilities.

“Then I’ll head back.

Mr.

Payne, please remember to take care of your health amidst your busy schedule, and try to visit your grandfather when you can.

He misses you very much.

”

“Okay,” Nathan replied nonchalantly.

Kern realized that Nathan was just placating him with an answer.

He sighed as he exited the office.

The next morning, at the Payne family’s ancestral temple, the assembly for expulsion and denunciation was underway.

As Nathan’s legal wife, Lucinda was present.

Jeff, who was ill and couldn’t attend, left Uma to come on her own
