Chapter 2566
Lucinda connected Siena with a lawyer who successfully won the case, securing Siena’s husband’s removal from the house.
As a result, Siena obtained ownership of the house and the car.
After recovering, Siena visited the Simmons Group to express her gratitude to Lucinda.
Nathan had learned that Siena went abroad for relaxation afterward, explaining that she needed to distance herself from what her husband had done to her.
Since then, Nathan had not received any updates about Siena from Lucinda.
“You repaid her wholehearted help with enmity and hurt.
You deserve to suffer.”
Nathan clenched his fists, blue veins standing out on his arms, his eyes blazing with intensity.
Siena dared not look at Nathan, overcome with fear.
“I didn’t mean to.novelbin
She’s so wealthy.
I thought helping me meant nothing to her.
It was just charity from the rich to someone like me…”
The more Siena spoke, the more embarrassed she became.
“I’m sorry.
I haven’t forgotten her kindness.
I’m truly grateful to her, but I felt compelled to act this way.
I had no other choice.
I went abroad because they held me captive.
They instructed me to stay in contact with Lucinda occasionally.
I underwent multiple plastic procedures in six months, more than a hundred times, until the man was satisfied with my appearance.
Later, I was imprisoned.
The man showed me all of Lucinda’s interviews and news clips.
He demanded that I mimic her expressions and mannerisms, and memorize everything about her.
If I failed to comply, I faced severe beatings.
However, if I learned well, the man would be pleased, showering me with money and transferring funds into my mother’s account right before my eyes.
As long as I obeyed his commands, I avoided beatings, had money, and enough food to survive.
I felt I had no other choice but to comply.”

Siena sobbed uncontrollably, too drained to even wipe away her tears.
Just moments ago, Lonnie brought in some men who injected her with a drug and painfully jabbed needles into several points on her back.
The sensation was excruciating, as if her bones were being shattered.
After a while, Siena lifted her eyes to meet Nathan’s gaze.
Despite the pressure, she pressed on.
“Eight days ago, that man Learned Lucinda’s schedule.
He instructed me to intercept Lucinda’s car by the bridge.
Disguised with a mask, hat, and wig, I approached her.
When Lucinda recognized my voice, I showed her our chat records and asked for a lift.
She agreed.
On the way, she asked me many questions.
We talked for quite some time.”
Nathan fidgeted with his wristwatch, squinting impatiently.
“Get to the point,” he urged.
Siena paused briefly, and then nodded.
“As her car entered the Bay Tunnel, I followed the plan and removed my hat and mask.
I revealed my face, which mirrored hers exactly.
I watched as she stared at me through the rearview mirror, shock in her eyes.
But before she could say anything, a speeding truck bore down on us.
Lucinda, being a skilled driver, swerved to avoid the oncoming truck.
She attempted to call for help using her Bluetooth headset, but the signal was jammed, and she couldn’t establish a connection on her phone at all.
I warned her that she couldn’t escape, that they had everything set to capture her.
I urged her to surrender and stop the car by the road.
But she refused to pull over.
As another truck threatened to collide with us, she accelerated the car down into the valley.”
Listening to Siena recount the harrowing events of that day, Nathan clenched his fists.
His heart ached, and his breath grew shallow.
“Continue.”
“That man had everything meticulously planned for a long time.
He was confident that everything would go as expected, but we didn’t anticipate… Lucinda escaped,” Siena admitted.
“She escaped?” Nathan was mildly surprised.
Siena nodded solemnly.
“When her luxury car plunged into the valley, I was knocked unconscious.
By the time I regained consciousness, she had disappeared.
The boss had been searching for her ever since.
Initially, he planned to force you to choose between the real Lucinda and me, playing some cruel games with you, but he couldn’t locate the real Lucinda.
As you continued to track him, he had no choice but to change his plan and instruct me to disguise myself as her.”
Siena’s emotions were palpable.
Taking a few steps forward, she addressed Nathan.
“That’s all I know.
I’ve never seen the boss myself.
All I know is he wears a black baseball cap and a black trench coat.
He’s very tall.
I don’t know his name or background.
I’ve told you everything.
I was forced into all of it.
Please, don’t torture me.
Just put me in prison and leave me there!”
Even if Nathan released her, the boss would not relent.
Siena preferred the certainty of prison; there, at least, she would have food to sustain her.
Nathan’s face remained impassive as he glanced at Lonnie.
Understanding his silent cue, Lonnie accessed the information on his tablet and placed it on the floor in front of Siena.
