Chapter 1796: Chapter 2010

Graham’s complexion paled, a stark realization dawning upon him.

This consequence was of his own making.

While Graham couldn’t fault Lucinda for her lack of trust, he remained steadfast in his insistence.

“I understand that it’s entirely my fault.

But could you please hear me out this time? I truly have no knowledge of any hidden details regarding our mother’s situation.

Please, do not place your trust in Nala.

Let us return and conduct a thorough investigation.

”

Nala chimed in, her tone probing, “Graham, what is it that you fear? Lucinda is skilled in martial arts.

How could I possibly bully her, being but a frail woman? If only she would refrain from bullying me.

”

“Then I shall accompany you.

As the eldest son of the Simmons family, I believe I hold the right to uncover the truth behind our mother’s death as well,” Graham asserted.

Nala’s irritation grew as she observed Graham’s persistent concern for Lucinda.

“But I have no desire to disclose this to you.

My intention is solely to share this with Lucinda, my dearest sister.

”

Lucinda’s mother’s death had long been a source of sorrow for her.

Moreover, it was this tragedy that led to her drifting apart from Kyson, who inadvertently joined the Secret Investigation Department just when she needed his support the most.

If there was indeed an alternative explanation for her mother’s demise, Lucinda was determined to uncover it.

However, Lucinda remained wary, knowing Nala to be a cunning woman.

“Fine, I will accompany you alone,” Lucinda agreed, her tone firm.

“But I must warn you,

should you deceive me, I will not show mercy.

”

She turned to Violeta, her gaze steely.

“Violeta, relay a message to Sonny: have him and his men enter the island and wait at the gate of this villa.

If I do not emerge within ten minutes of entering, or if any mishap occurs, apprehend Danilo.

He shouldn’t escape justice just because of his royal identity.

”

Violeta nodded dutifully.

“Alright, I will take care of that.

Please be cautious.

Your safety is paramount.

We will stand guard outside the gate.

”

Lucinda nodded in acknowledgment, her trust unwavering in Violeta’s capabilities.

Before stepping into the villa alongside Nala, Lucinda cast a glance at Graham, noting his solemn expression.

Though no words were exchanged between them, she sensed his concern.

Swiftly diverting her gaze, she followed Nala into the villa, her resolve unwavering.

As a half-sister, Nala had undergone plastic surgery to alter her appearance upon returning to exact revenge on Lucinda.

However, despite the surgical alterations, there remained striking similarities in the facial features of the two women.

Nala took the lead, engaging in casual conversation.

“Lucinda, I’ve always pondered why Luck seems to favor you at every turn.

No matter how many schemes I devise, it seems you always manage to evade harm.

”

Lucinda retorted in a cold, arrogant tone, “Perhaps it’s because you’re simply not clever enough.

”

Lucinda was known for her directness.

Despite Nala’s dissatisfaction, she chose to remain silent.

Nala had attempted to take Lucinda’s life but failed due to lack of caution and saw no point in defending her actions.

They walked side by side.

Breaking the silence, Nala spoke with a hint of excitement.

“My dear sister, the layout of this villa has changed.

It’s been transformed.

Allow me to show you today.

”

Without waiting for a response, she darted ahead.
