Chapter 508 Shattered Trust

Nathaniel hung up on Freya, taking a deep breath. He couldn't believe she was still pressing him about the divorce agreement. Although ignoring her calls felt a bit childish, it was less painful than hearing her talk about divorce directly.

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen walked in, standing before Nathaniel. He had changed into a jacket, which was bulging suspiciously, clearly hiding something.

"Everyone is ready. Should we head to Ravenwood now?"

Koen and his team had discovered that Ethan's hometown was Ravenwood, where he owned a large vineyard. Nathaniel had stationed people at all the exits and the airport, combining forces with Sawyer's men to ensure Luna couldn't escape. Right now, Luna's only refuge would be Ethan.

Nathaniel's expression darkened. He despised being played, and Luna had crossed a line. Freya was his bottom line.

"Let's go. I'm coming too."

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen quickly interjected, "we can handle it. It's better if you stay here."

Nathaniel pocketed a handgun into his coat and shot Koen a cold glance. "I no longer trust you all."

Koen was left speechless, his face twitching slightly, unable to argue.

The situation in Pontenero had deteriorated, and they all bore some responsibility.

It was no wonder Nathaniel had lost faith in them.

"Mr. Nathaniel," Koen hesitated. "Hudson... he wants to join us too."

"He stays here."

Nathaniel's tone was icy, and Koen didn't dare plead further for Hudson. He followed Nathaniel out of the room.

Nathaniel paused after taking a few feet and turned to face Koen. "We must properly inspect every individual holding authority in Pontenero. Deal with those that need to be dealt with, and eliminate those that should be removed. We are at Pontenero, and I am in charge of it."

He added, "Check all the surveillance footage. Anyone found conspiring behind my back, throw them out."

thin layer of sweat appeared on Koen's forehead. Checking all the surveillance felt excessive, but it showed just how furious
