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

Chapter 2226

To maintain the facade, it was imperative that the mysterious Mr.

Murray be made aware of Nathan’s knowledge about Lucinda’s purported abduction and his deep concern.

For three consecutive days, the villa remained untouched, ensconced within Nathan’s tightening perimeter like a spider ensnaring its prey.

As dawn broke, casting its soft glow upon the foliage, Everett reclined in a chair within the villa’s modest confines.

A curl of smoke twirled lazily from his cigar as he savored a moment of tranquility.

His partnership with Nathan offered a sense of security, yet Lucinda’s insistence on residing in the basement perturbed him greatly.

“Mr.

Gomez!”

The sudden interruption jolted him from his reverie, causing him to startle and inadvertently scatter ash from his cigar.

Turning, he fixed his subordinate with a steely glare.

“Can’t you see I’m resting?”

The man lowered his gaze.

Murray are here.
