Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Chapter 40 “Find someone for me. His name is Ezekiel. Bring him to me at any cost.”

Nathan’s voice was cold and menacing.

“Yes, Mr. Hill.”

**A few days later.**

The assistant brought Ezekiel to Nathan’s residence.

“So, the Crown Prince wants to see me?” Ezekiel smirked, his tone casual and irreverent.

Nathan’s eyes darkened. “Ezekiel, I underestimated you.”

“Do you still remember my wife, Isabella?”

Ezekiel nodded. “Vividly.”

Nathan clenched his teeth. “Good.”

“Ezekiel, I need to know–what exactly did you do to my wife? Why is it that after meeting you, she’s become a completely Chapter 40 1288 Noucherp ”

different person?”

His accusatory tone, layered with the authority of someone in power, instantly thickened the tension in the room.

Ezekiel chuckled nonchalantly. “Crown Prince, you’ve seen the contract between me and your esteemed wife. I simply fulfilled its terms–helping her forget her past with you.”

“So, if my guess is correct, your wife likely no longer loves you.”

Nathan’s expression turned vicious. “I want you to restore her memories.”

Ezekiel shrugged. “If I restore her memories, it would mean breaching my contract with her. That would subject me to a huge penalty.”

“I’ll pay it,” Nathan said.

Ezekiel raised an eyebrow. “The penalty is set at a 10,000–to–1 ratio. That means breaching it will cost me a hundred million.

Are you sure, Crown Prince?”

Nathan swallowed hard. “You...”

He changed tactics. “I promise Isabella won’t pursue you for breaching the contract. How about that?”

Chapter 40 288 (Vouchers Ezekiel shook his head. “You’re not the client; you can’t make decisions on her behalf. Unless she personally tells me she’s willing to nullify the contract.”

“Ezekiel...” Nathan’s voice rose in anger, “Do you know the consequences of opposing me?”

Ezekiel faltered slightly. “Crown Prince, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you. But I’m a businessman–integrity is everything.”

Nathan’s tone turned icy. “Ezekiel, it seems you don’t plan on leaving this room today.”

The threat was unmistakable.

Hearing this, the assistant shifted to block the door, cutting off Ezekiel’s exit.

Ezekiel feigned alarm. “Crown Prince, are you planning to imprison me?”

Nathan’s expression was resolute and merciless.

Ezekiel sighed, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

“Crown Prince, when I hypnotized your esteemed wife, I actually discovered a shocking secret... One I think you’d find very Chapter 40 interesting.”

“What secret?”

1200 Vouchers Ezekiel paused, carefully choosing his words. “Let’s put it this way: your wife is both herself and not herself.”

Nathan frowned in confusion. “What does that mean?”

Ezekiel replied, “Crown Prince, do you believe in reincarnation?”

Nathan narrowed his hawk–like eyes. “Past lives?”

Ezekiel continued, “If you’re willing to undergo hypnosis, I believe you’ll understand why your wife has changed so drastically.

But I must warn you–hypnosis can lead to life- altering revelations. You’ll need to be mentally prepared.”

Nathan scoffed at the absurdity. “Nonsense.”

Ezekiel shook his head helplessly. “If you don’t trust me, then there’s nothing more I can do.”

In the end, Nathan refused to undergo hypnosis, forcing him to abandon his interrogation.
