Chapter 1409: Chapter 1622

After a few moments of quiet, Cyrus said, “Lucinda, I’m sorry.

I shouldn’t have said what I said.

”

He sounded a bit weak since he had stayed an entire day without food.

Lucinda’s voice raised slightly as she responded, “It’s good that you’ve taken time to think it over.

”

Cyrus said sincerely, “I was impulsive.

The engagement announcement was made publicly, and it’s a binding commitment now.

Even if I offer Mekhi 20% of our group’s shares, I doubt he’ll change his mind.

”

Lucinda breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that you’re thinking rationally now.

Do you have a plan?”

Cyrus replied, “I’ll find a way to speak with Noelle first to understand why she agreed to Mekhi’s decision.

If she’s genuinely in love with someone else, I won’t interfere anymore.

But if Mekhi has coerced her into this, I’ll do everything to get her out of there.

”

Lucinda sighed, finding the first part of his plan commendable but considering the latter half too impulsive.

“She’s Mekhi’s sister.

You can’t just whisk her away.

Are you planning to elope with her? Mekhi could easily involve the police,” she cautioned.

Adding to her concern, Mekhi’s profession as a police officer made it even more likely that Cyrus would end up behind bars if he pursued that course of action.

Cyrus said nothing.

He always struggled to remain calm when it came to Noelle.

If Mekhi had truly harmed Noelle, his self-control might crumble, and he’d be driven to confront him with violence.

Both Lucinda and Cyrus fell into a thoughtful silence, their minds deeply absorbed in contemplation.

A few minutes later, she broke the silence.

“We can’t discuss this over the phone.

I’ll arrange for the guards to leave.

Meet me at N&

L Fairy Land, and we’ll devise a plan together.

”

“Alright.

”

Shortly after, Cyrus arrived and knocked on the door.

Sonny and Luisa were also present.

The five of them sat on the sofa and brainstormed to find a solution.

After they took their seats, the living room fell silent and each person wore a grave expression.

Eventually, Luisa broke the silence.

“Lucinda, this situation is very challenging.

Noelle is now considered part of the Shaw family.

Even if she’s under duress by Mekhi, as long as he provides a plausible explanation, he can get away with it.

Interfering in their family affairs won’t be easy.

We can’t forcibly take her away or persuade her to break off the engagement.

”

Sonny chimed in, “Mekhi claims Noelle is unwell.

She rarely Leaves the house or goes to work.

It would be tough to even see her.

”
