Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1717

He anticipated that Mekhi would initiate a search of him and his room after the banquet.

Turning off the light, he hid himself in the darkness.

He then discreetly tossed the key out the window.

It landed in the grass in the garden.

As someone was past, the key was inadvertently trodden into the soil.

This left only half its edge revealed and the rest concealed by the lawn.

At half past ten in the evening, the party came to an end.

Guests departed one by one.

Lucinda and Nathan left together.

“Honey, check this out!”

Only when they’ve gone from the Shaws’ house did Lucinda bring out two items from her bag.

He hurried to the Lab to wo
