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

Even if Nathan released her, Cory wouldn’t.

“Mr.

Payne, I am uncertain if the Cory you mention is the employer who directed me to deceive others, but I genuinely have no knowledge of his schemes.

My actions were purely motivated by financial gain.

I followed every instruction he gave.”

“What did he instruct you to do?”

The woman pondered before replying, “He ordered me to approach Lucinda.

Once I succeeded, he had his men tie me to the tree hole atop the mountain, claiming I would become Mr.

Payne’s wife, promising wealth and influence.”

Nathan tightened his grip on the woman’s chin and demanded, “Tell me how you approached Lucinda and succeeded.

Lucinda is not easily fooled.

If you had met her with this face, she wouldn’t have allowed you into her car.

Recently, you have frequently mentioned Colby and Destinee.

Did Cory instruct you to do this? Did he ask you to engage with the children and extract them?”

With these words, Nathan’s grip intensified, his eyes filled with hatred and anger, his voice laced with controlled fury.

The woman frowned.

She felt intense pain in her chin as if it might be torn off.

Under Nathan’s scrutiny, the woman shook her head and pleaded, “I’m sorry, Mr.

Payne.

I can’t recall many details.

I truly don’t know.

I am merely a pawn.

Please release me.”

Instead of anger, Nathan laughed.

He released her chin, adjusted his sleeves, and straightened up.

Standing tall, his eyes cold with contempt, he said, “You will recall every detail.

No one knows the truth better than you.

I’ve shown patience, but since you refuse to cooperate, I must resort to other methods.”

The woman trembled with fear.

Nathan considered pinching her neck and chin as patience.

What horrors awaited when his patience ran out?

Half an hour earlier, captivated by Nathan’s striking appearance, she had entertained thoughts of seducing him.

Now, she was desperate to escape this terrifying man.

Nathan, without further word, turned and left the room.

A minute later, the door reopened.novelbin

Three men entered.

The woman recognized one of them.

It was Lonnie.

Lonnie rolled up his sleeves, his expression menacing.

She retreated until she was trapped against the corner of the wall.

“What are you going to do? You…”

Outside the room, Nathan meticulously wiped his hand, which had touched the woman, first with a wet tissue, and then with a disinfectant wipe, ensuring it was thoroughly clean.

Leaning against the wall, he retrieved a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and opened it, revealing a lone cigarette.

Without Lucinda’s supervision, he hadn’t restrained himself, nearly finishing the pack.

Nathan’s eyes darkened as he picked up the last cigarette, lit it, and took a drag.
