Chapter 2572
“Yes, sir.”
Sonny typed the message carefully, word for word, and hit send.
Two minutes later, Sonny redialed Kyson’s number.
This time, the call was answered almost immediately.

Kyson’s voice cut through the line.
“What happened?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Sonny glanced at Nathan, who gave a subtle nod.
Taking a deep breath, Sonny spoke, his tone teeming with urgency.
“The Lucinda we found was a fake.
She died on the operating table this morning.”
A long silence followed as Kyson processed the news.
After a while, the other end of the line still remained silent.
““Kyson?” Sonny’s voice grew more insistent.
“Where on earth have you been?”
Kyson’s usual frantic response to anything involving Lucinda was absent.
He remained unnervingly calm, not asking a single question about the situation.
Sonny felt a chill run down his spine.
There was indeed something wrong with Kyson.
Gritting his teeth, he emphasized, “Kyson, don’t do anything rash.
You know the influence of the National Security Bureau in Cadiered.
The truth will come out sooner or later.
You-“
Nathan’s cold glare cut him off mid-sentence.
Sonny forced himself to stay composed.
“Just think about it, Kyson.”
He hung up the phone and turned to Nathan, his shoulders hunched in defeat.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, he clenched his fists helplessly.
“Sorry, Nathan.
I couldn’t hold back and threatened him a bit.”
Before Nathan could respond, Lonnie reported, “Mr.
Payne, we’ve located him.
The signal is weak, but he doesn’t seem to be moving.”
“Where is he?” Nathan asked, striding over to the computer.
Lonnie pointed to a red dot on the screen.
“He’s in a small village six miles from Hilldale.
More precisely, in the mountains behind the village.
The signal is poor because it’s far from the cell tower.”
Kyson suddenly retreating to such a remote location was highly suspicious.
“How Long would it take to drive there?” Nathan asked.
Lonnie quickly checked the map software.
“We can only drive on the highway.
The mountain road is inaccessible by car.
If we hike, we won’t make it there today.”
The mentioned route would be too time-consuming.
They needed to hurry.
Nathan’s patience was wearing thin.
He swiftly donned his coat.
