He also doubted Kyson was capable of such an act, but hearing Lucinda defend him so staunchly made his blood boil.
After ending the call, Lucinda paused in front of her computer, contemplating for a moment before deciding to call Kyson.
Kyson, having wrapped up a month of toilet cleaning duties, was now in a meeting at the Shaw Group.
With his phone on silent, Kyson glanced at the screen displaying âLucindaâ and promptly paused the meeting.
He left the room with a serious expression to answer the call.
The group of senior executives at the Shaw Group looked on, puzzled, as Kyson left abruptly.
âLucinda, whatâs the matter? Why are you calling me at this moment?â
Lucinda spoke gravely.
âSomething terrible has happened to the Perez family.
Theyâve all been killed.
Have you heard?â
Kyson paused briefly before responding, âI saw the news this morning but didnât give it much thought.
Is that why youâre calling me?â
A realization dawned on him and he asked, âAre you suggesting that I did it?â
âThe Perez family was on the verge of leaving the upper class.
Kobyâs family didnât have many enemies while they were alive.
The last time he had a dispute with someone was at the Shaw Group, regarding the issue between you and Phillisâ¦â
Kyson listened quietly, and then sneered, âSo you suspect me?â
Before Lucinda could respond, he said in a chilling tone, âLucinda, you think too highly of me.
Over a hundred people killed overnight? I donât have that kind of capability.
Even if I wanted to harm Phillis, I wouldnât harm anyone else.
â
Lucinda sighed softly, âI know it wasnât you.
I never thought it could be.
â
Kysonâs expression softened.
A N G E L A âs L I B R A R Y
With a serious expression, Lucinda continued, âI donât think itâs that simple.
Although the Perez family was declining, they were still wealthy.
If it wasnât personal, could the motive be to not only target the Perez family but also all affluent families in Stastle?â
Most importantly, Kyson would inevitably be questioned by the National Security Bureau.
It was a significant case, and Nathan had to handle it personally.
Was the mastermind targeting the Payne family, the Shaw family, and the Simmons family?
Kyson pondered for a moment before saying, âAfter my company meeting, Iâll personally visit the Perez family residence to meet and speak with Nathan.
â
âOkay, take care,â Lucinda replied softly.
Kyson felt a warmth in his heart at the casual concern she showed before ending the call.
He rubbed the caller ID he had set for Lucinda on his phone screen.
It had been a long time since she had contacted him.
After a while, he composed himself and returned to the meeting room to resume the discussion.
