Nathan, sitting beside them, chimed in, âMekhi stopped Noelle from working.
If sheâs not truly ill, she might be confined against her will.
â
Lucinda nodded in agreement.
âIâve been thinking.
At the party, Noelle wasnât herself.
But just a few days ago, she appeared normal at a business event with Mekhi.
â
Cyrus clenched his fists.
âThat scoundrel! He might be harming his own sister.
I donât mind falling out with him and his family.
Letâs go with the aggressive plan we discussed yesterday!â
Lucinda and Nathan both agreed, and Lucinda added, âCyrus, we should split up.
You handle Quintin and ask Graham for assistance.
I believe Graham can find a way to make Quintin cooperate.
Iâll figure out how to see Noelle.
â
âAlright.
â
Cyrus left immediately to take action.
Lucinda and Nathan were left alone in the room.
They were both lost in thought.
After a lengthy silence, Nathan inquired, âLucinda, what excuse can we use to enter the Shawsâ house and search it?â
Lucinda contemplated for a moment before suggesting, âHow about involving Sally? In two days, Iâll host a tea party and invite her.
During the event, I can have her try on some of my valuable jewelry.
Then, Iâll claim some pieces have gone missing and ask Sonny to search her room.
What do you think?â
Nathan grinned and playfully tapped her nose.
âHoney, youâre incredibly intelligent.
Iâll definitely take your suggestion.
â
Lucinda grinned back.
Her thoughts drifted back to a time when Nathan was still battling the virus in his body, and she had to deal with Kyson.
During those days, Cyrus and Noelle had just begun their relationship.
It was sweet and uncomplicated and made her a tad envious.
Ironically, only a few months later, Cyrus and Noelleâs relationship encountered turbulence, while the bond between Nathan and her grew stronger.
âHoney, whatâs on your mind?â Nathan asked, leaning in close to Lucinda and gently brushing her nose with his own.
His warm breath tickled her face, bringing her back to reality.
âI was thinking that we havenât had an argument in a while,â Lucinda replied.
âWhat?â Nathan raised an eyebrow.
âIsnât that a good thing? Do you want us to fight?â
