Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2242

Nathan gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and chuckled softly, though it seemed somewhat forced.

“I can’t keep anything from you, can I?”

He confided in Lucinda about his concerns, and as he opened his hand, there was a note in his palm.

Lucinda took the note, turned on the light, and read it.

With a furrowed brow, she asked, “Was this left by Kenneth, the leader of the bodyguards?”

She scrutinized the note again and distinctly noticed Nathan’s body tensing, his expression turning serious, and his fingers trembling slightly as they held the note.

As a seasoned commander in the military region, Nathan had survived numerous gunfights on the borders of Cadiered.

He had witnessed countless horrifying scenes.

Yet, why did a simple note elicit such a profound reaction from him?

Lucinda instinctively sensed that the contents of the note were far from trivial.

She stood on her toes, embracing his sturdy frame gently, and whispered softly in his ear, “Is this related to your past? Tell me, maybe I can help ease some of that weight.

”

Nathan buried his head in the soft, fragrant crook of her shoulder, taking a long time to settle his emotions.

He straightened, took a deep breath, and began to slowly recount the past.

Lucinda listened quietly to his story, an then offered her rational perspective.

“It’s indeed tragic that he died.

But, if Cory was indeed buried in that fire with no chance of escape, how could he have orchestrated the poisoned milk powder case? Moreover, if he somehow survived, why would he bear a grudge against you and seek such revenge against the wealthy families?”

Nathan’s eyes were intense, the turmoil of emotions still swirling within him as he forced himself to revisit unresolved cases from his past.

Back then, they were embroiled in a murder case, and both he and Cory were the main suspects.

Ultimately, Cory faced expulsion from the military.

Nathan appealed this decision extensively until Cory’s punishment was downgraded to a severe reprimand.

Yet, for reasons unknown, Cory began to resent Nathan, targeting him repeatedly, and their relationship deteriorated until the incident of the fire.

Reflecting on this, Nathan wondered if there might be undisclosed details in that murder case.

“Honey, could it be possible that this note was forged by someone seeking revenge, aiming to trick you and escape?”

The more Lucinda considered it, the more she believed in the likelihood of this scenario.

“Why don’t we pursue this lead and investigate further? We’re bound to uncover something.

Cory is gone, yet someone continues to use his identity to stir trouble, which is truly despicable.

”

Nathan’s expression slowly darkened.

To consider Cory as the mastermind wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.

After a long moment of reflection, he began to detail that specific incident.

“He was always harsh and merciless in his actions, lacking any form of conscience.

Besides, we had unresolved grievances.

If he survived the fire, he certainly had the motive.

”

Lucinda remained silent upon hearing this.
