Chapter 1901: Chapter 2115

Lucinda’s attention was briefly captivated by the retreating figures of Zander and Rolf, but Nathan’s familiar voice quickly brought her back from her thoughts.

Nathan approached Lucinda, his aura a blend of reassurance and authority.

His fingertips, warm against her skin, traced a gentle path along her cheek as he posed his question with a soft timbre.

“Did the events in the ancestral temple unnerve you?”

Lucinda’s head swayed in a confident denial.

“While the spectacle was undeniably harsh, Mylo’s transgressions warranted such a response.

I am far from the naive girl that Uma is; fear does not find purchase within me so easily.

”

“After all, my wife is a formidable and independent woman, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with me.

To be honest, she’s someone I must even admit to fearing a bit.

” Nathan praised with genuine admiration.

In the ancestral temple, his demeanor remained chillingly stoic, exuding an aura of ominous intimidation that truly sent shivers down the spine.

But when gazing upon his beloved wife, Nathan’s countenance softened, radiating an abundance of tenderness and warmth, devoid of any trace of anger or malice.

Lucinda cast a fleeting glance at him, her mood not inclined to entertain his flattery, and inquired, “What did you say to Zander and Rolf? They appeared rather flustered.

”

“I’m simply using this gathering as an opportunity to distance those who were once aligned with Mylo,” Nathan explained, his tone resolute.

Lucinda, taken aback, regarded him with a hint of unfamiliarity.

“But they are also your kin.

Even if they were close to Mylo, they Likely didn’t participate…”

“Lucinda, Nathan interjected firmly.

“I’ve imposed penalties on those who were close to Mylo, deducting their pension dividends for three months and assigning their descendants to oversee subsidiaries in the counties, restricting them from leaving their positions for a year.

They sided with Mylo in the past, and during my parents’ advocated for him before Norton.

Shouldn’t ordeal, they likely there be consequences?”

Lucinda was stunned by the severity of Nathan’s actions.

It dawned on her that when it came to matters involving his parents, Nathan was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You’re the head of the Payne family, Nathan.

It’s only right that you have full authority over its affairs and how to handle them.

”

Lucinda stated calmly, yet Nathan sensed a hint of displeasure in her tone.

“Honey, are you upset with me?” Nathan asked, concerned.

“You know you’re not an outsider in the Payne family’s affairs.

Your input is invaluable.

”

Lucinda smiled faintly.

“I don’t see it that way.

”

However, Nathan’s fixation on his parents’ car accident still worried her, particularly concerning Uma’s family.

“Now that the matter with Mylo is nearly resolved, what are your plans for Jeff?” she inquired.

Speaking of Jeff, Nathan quietly looked down and got lost in thought for a moment.

Lucinda patiently waited, without pressing him.

They both stood at the door of the ancestral temple.

Nathan’s gaze was lowered, while Lucinda stared straight ahead.

Nathan broke the silence with a question.

“Lucinda, how would you handle this if it happened in the Simmons family?”

Lucinda turned and began to walk away from the temple.

“But this is about the Payne family.
