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

Chapter 2840



Lucinda, unfazed by Hollis attempt to intimidate her, met his gaze coldly.

Mr.

Cruz, if youre aware of my ties to Nathan, then you should know that crossing him tends to end poorly for those who try.

Nathan had earned his reputation with the National Security Bureau, handling high-profile international cases that made his name known far and wide.

Even someone like Hollis would think twice before challenging him without good reason.

But here, in this room, they were on Hollis turf.

A low chuckle escaped Hollis lips as he absentmindedly stroked the large dog at his feet.

The dog, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out, lay at Hollis feet.

Its and tense radiated a sharp eyes posture menace, sending shiver down Dulcies spine.

Mrs. Payne, Hollis said, his voice dripping with arrogance, Ive faced danger all my life.

Itll take more than a few words to rattle me.

Lucindas smile was poised, unwavering.

Then it seems theres no point in continuing this discussion if youre not truly interested.

Alyan, who had been silently observing, spoke up.

Mr.

Cruz, if we walk away without a deal today, youll have more than one powerful enemy on your hands.

Hollis paused, weighing the situation.

Here, in his domain, he was untouchable.

No one had the strength to bring him down.

Suddenly, Hollis let out a boisterous laugh, slamming his hand on the table.

Mrs.

Payne, youre far too naive.

Even if your husband has influence, whats stopping me from taking you hostage right now? Do you believe hed risk your safety to fight me? No, he wouldnt dare.

He added with a dark smile, Even if I lose in the end, Ill drag you down with me.

One way or another, hes going to pay, and Alyan, choose your side wisely-unless youre itching for trouble.

Indeed, Hollis was a fox in human skin! Lucindas face hardened.

Hollis was never content, no matter how much you fed his greed.

With todays stakes, Alyan knew he had to navigate carefully, especially since hed need to cross paths here again in the future.

His main purpose today was safeguarding Dulcie and her companions. Lucinda wasnt one to be easily bullied.

Hollis, lets cut the games.

Hand over my people, take this money and let us go.

You know exactly what Simmons Group and Payne Group can do.noveldrama

We might even work together in the future-if you play your cards right.

Lucindas voice was calm, but the unspoken threat lingered in the air, her stare commanding the respect she deserved.

The tension in the room spiked.

Hollis stood up, his towering figure casting a menacing shadow over Lucinda.

And what if I say no? But before Lucinda could respond, Hollis yanked his dog closer, approached Dulcie, and reached out toward her hand.

Dulcie tensed, maintaining her composure despite the shock.
