Abel sighed heavily.
Nathaniel was indeed too strikingly handsome!
It was no surprise that Lucinda kept him close, his good looks were a pleasure to behold.
âAbel?â
The two men holding the rattan whip snapped Abel out of his thoughts.
It was only then that Abel returned his gaze to Nathanielâs limp body.
âGiven his physique, he has reached his limit.
â Abel observed seriously.
âIf we wake him up with water and continue to thrash him, he will most likely faint again.
Mr.
Simmons wants this over quickly.
Letâs just go now.
â
âBut how do we explain it to Mr.
Simmons?â one of the men asked.
âIâll tell him the truth,â Abel replied.
And with that, they began making their way back to the Simmonsâ residence.
Before departing, Abel called out to the other two bodyguards, Conor and Jose, who were lurking in the shadows.
âWhat did you witness just now?â he inquired.
Conor and Jose hung their heads and replied, âWe saw Mr.
Roberts pass out in the living room due to exhaustion from housework.
We didnât see anything else.
â
Abel nodded in approval.
âIf Miss Simmons asks, tell her what you just said.
If she doesnât inquire, forget about it.
Got it?â
âUnderstood,â they affirmed.
Following Abelâs instructions, Conor and Jose went about their tasks, completely disregarding Nathaniel who lay unconscious on the living room floor.
Lucinda was the apple of his brothersâ eye.
Nathaniel only deserved the punishment for hurting her!
Nathaniel was huddled on the frigid marble floor in the living room, his body contorted in agony.
Nathaniel was writhing in pain and feeling lightheaded.
Meanwhile, Sonny made a covert visit to someone in prison.
As the prison guard brought Eleanor out, Sonny was shocked at her appearance.
