Finally, a normal reaction to pain.
âSo, you do know how painful it is.
Why didnât you dodge Enochâs attack? You had plenty of time to react.
â
If she hadnât protected him, Enoch might have hit him even harder.
How would he have dealt with being badly wounded?
Nathaniel compressed his lips.
âWhere were you on the day my grandpa died?â
Lucinda stared at him.
His face was inscrutable.
Was he asking for her alibi? Did part of him believe Enochâs story?
Did he suspect her of killing Logan?
She didnât lie.
âI was with Logan.
The last person he saw before he died was me.
â
âWhat did he say to you?â
Lucinda was silent for a while.
Logan had asked her to protect the Roberts Group.
He also said that although Nathaniel seemed cold, he was a one-woman man and that if he fell in love with her, he would do anything for her.
Logan made her promise not to divorce Nathaniel.
She had broken that promise.
She had devoted herself to Nathaniel for three years, and he hadnât returned her love.
Now she didnât want him.
So, she fulfilled Loganâs other request and protected the Roberts Group from a hostile takeover.
Seeing that she was reticent, Nathaniel asked again, âWhat did he say to you?â
Lucinda leaned back.
Her eyes were cold.
âI wonât tell you.
â
It was a provocative response, and anger ripped through him.
âWhat?â she said.
âDo you believe I killed Logan?â
