Chapter 1441: Chapter 1654

Casting a quick glance at his watch, Sonny decided not to prolong the conversation.

“We will ascertain the truth once we’ve searched the house.

For now, please step aside.

”

With a commanding gesture, he signaled the soldiers to storm into the villa.

The Shaw family’s bodyguards couldn’t intervene, as this operation was backed by the National Security Bureau.

Mekhi wasn’t around, leaving the butler uncertain about how to respond.

Some of the bodyguards discreetly retreated to a quiet corner and tried to reach out to Mekhi.

Meanwhile, Mekhi was in Nathan’s office.

Abruptly, his phone rang, drawing a disapproving look from Nathan.

“Do you have no manners at all? Why didn’t you silence your phone before entering?”

“My apologies, I’ll silence it now,” Mekhi responded, retrieving his phone from his pocket.

He glanced at the incoming call, which was from a Shaw family bodyguard.

Furrowing his brow, he checked the time and realized Nathan had been berating him for an entire hour.

Initially, he had assumed Nathan sought to assert his authority forcefully.

However, the call from the bodyguard hinted at an emergency back at the family house.

Was Nathan deliberately buying time for someone?

As Mekhi pondered, a knock brought him back to reality.

Nathan rapped his knuckles on the

table to regain Mekhi’s attention.

Startled, Mekhi quickly muted his phone and anxiously addressed Nathan, “Sir, there’s a crisis involving my family.

May I be excused?”

Nathan’s countenance remained cold, reflecting his displeasure.

He remained silent, but his expression suggested a reluctance to grant permission.

Mekhi’s phone was still on, and he got another call.

Wrestling with concerns about the top floor of the Shaws’ house, he felt a growing unease and decided to stand his ground against Nathan’s disapproval.

“Sir, one of my sisters is very unwell.

I’ve arranged for a nurse to care for her.

I just received a call from the nurse, and I must rush back to check on my sister’s well-being.

If my actions displease you and are seen as disobedience, I am prepared to return and face the consequences tomorrow.

”

With those words, he turned around and quickly opened the door.

“Mekhi!”

Nathan called out, but Mekhi paid no heed.

His determination to return home was unwavering.
