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

Mileys words were not without merit.

After all, there were all sorts of gangs here, and even some smaller ones were eager to replace them, itching for power.

Eason and Nathan exchanged tense glances.

Easons brow furrowed, his voice steady yet tinged with urgency as he said, Mr.

Payne, I need your help to take out Hollis lab.

The other gangs didnt pose an immediate threat, but Hollis lab was a Pandoras box he could not afford to ignore.noveldrama

Eason hadnt yet grasped the full extent of what was contained within those walls, and the uncertainty gnawed at him, so he didnt dare to act hastily.

If Hollis had devised some sort of chemical weapon, the repercussions would ripple far beyond their own lives.

That was the reason Eason hadnt taken action yet.

This fear held him back, a protective instinct flaring within him that prioritized his daughters safety above all else.

Nathan responded coldly, Of course. But dont forget your promise.

With Nathans agreement, Eason nodded, determination hardening his features.

Dont worry, Mr.

Payne.

I stand by my word.

Ill repay your kindness, no matter what it takes.

As they solidified their battle plan, Lucinda and Nathan prepared to take their leave, the air thick with anticipation and resolve.

But before they could step outside, Eason stopped them.

I have a request, and I hope its not too much to ask.

Lucinda raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued.

What is it? Eason hesitated for the briefest of moments, his eyes flicking toward Miley, who stood just behind him, He asked, Would you mind if Miley stayed with you for the time being? Hollis was unpredictable.

Mileys eyes widened in surprise, her spirit flaring with defiance.

Dad, Im not a kid anymore! I can protect myself.

She was, after all, an adult, already twenty.

Miley, this isnt the time to be stubborn.

Im doing this for your own good! Mileys lips tightened, but before she could retort, Lucinda intervened.

She exchanged a brief glance with Nathan, and then calmly reassured, No problem.

Shell be safe with me.

Lucinda understood exactly what Eason was feeling.

As a parent herself, there was a quiet understanding in her gaze, an empathy for the weight of his worries.

If it were her son or daughter in danger, she would stop at nothing to hunt down the mastermind responsible. Stepping forward, Lucinda patted Mileys shoulder, her touch Light but comforting.

Come with me, Miley.

Your father will feel better knowing youre safe.

Mileys heart sank, but Lucindas calm presence offered some reassurance.

Reluctantly, she agreed, her voice softer now.

Okay, Dad.

Just… take care of yourself.

As Miley left with Lucinda, her heart felt heavy, the weight of worry pressing down on her chest.

She knew her father was sending her away so he could face Hollis head-on.

Medican was a country fraught with rival gangs, each more cutthroat and opportunistic than the last.

In the chaos of a fight, it wouldnt take much for someone to exploit the situation, putting Eason in grave danger.
