âNathaniel, sheâs not lying.
Iâve had my men look into the matter.
These are the results of the investigation.
â
Nathaniel took the material and read through it carefully.
His indifferent expression did not change, and his eyes remained cold.
âI thought it was Lucinda who saved me.
It seems that she lied to me.
Hearing this, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief.
Then her eyes flashed with anger.
âLucinda is a vicious bitch.
Sheâs the one who made me like this.
You canât let her go!â
Tess added fuel to the flames.
âNathaniel, I heard that ever since you signed the employment agreement with Lucinda, she has often abused and tortured you.
She harmed Miss Turner, the woman who saved your life, as well as the Roberts family.
Donât you want to take revenge?â
Nathaniel lowered his head and pretended to focus on the document in his hands, deliberately concealing the anger in his eyes.
âWhat do you want to do?â he asked in a low voice.
Tess grinned evilly.
âLetâs join hands.
You gain her trust and tell me everything she does.
Together, weâll find the perfect opportunity to kill her.
â
âNo! Donât kill her right away!â
Eleanor shrieked with a crazed look in her eye.
âHand her over to me.
Iâll make her suffer for all the things she did to me!â
Nathaniel remained expressionless, but his tightly clenched hands betrayed his true emotions.
He looked at Tess and asked calmly, âI can do that all by myself.
Why should I join hands with you?
But I have to admit, the plan to let Ellie appear at the charity party was very clever.
I doubt you came up with this plan all by yourself.
If you want us to cooperate, you have to be honest with me and give me a reason to work with you.
â
Hearing this, Tessâ eyes lit up happily.
He was right.
If they were to cooperate, she should at least be honest.
âYour right.
I didnât come up with the plan; I was just responsible for the execution.
But donât worry.
The person who planned all this is notoriously good at setting traps.
If you cooperate with us, you wonât suffer any Loss.
â
âIs that so?â
