Luisa was jealous.
She pursed her lips and cast a gaze at Sonny beside her.
Seeing their countenance, Lucinda smiled awkwardly.
Nathan was genuinely displeased.
He leaned his head on her shoulder, seeking comfort.
Lucinda allowed him to embrace her.
She then wrapped her arms around the back of his neck to soothe his restlessness.
âSince you are all here, letâs not waste any time.
We should commence our discussion,â Lucinda suggested, redirecting their focus.
Sonny said earnestly, âI checked on Miss Shawâs condition and consulted psychologists.
They all noted her rapid change and heightened stress response.
It is unlikely that her change was the result of a major shock over the course of just a few days.
â
Luisa nodded.
âYes, we believe Mekhi might have injected her with some unknown drugs.
â
The atmosphere grew serious in the living room as the conversation shifted.
After some thought, Cyrus recalled, âI remember something Noelle mentioned before.
â
Lucinda inquired, âWhat is it?â
âDo you recall when Noelle sought proof of Kyson being an illegitimate child? Noelle moved to the Shawsâ house then.
â
Lucinda affirmed, âCertainly, I remember.
â
Cyrus continued, âShe recounted that she was assaulted on the top floor, and now, comparing it to Noelleâs relapse, itâs strikingly a similar situation.
At that time, Kaitlin, her mother, was the only resident on the top floor.
Noelle has always held a suspicion that Kaitlin might be involved.
â
Lucinda suddenly remembered something while speaking.
âDuring the last business dinner, Mekhi brought Noelle to the party.
She asked me about Mrs.
Shaw, mentioning a red mark on her wrist during dinner.
I told you about it when I got back,â she shared.
Cyrus nodded.
He could still remember.
The air in the living room grew more serious.
Even Nathan stood up from Lucindaâs arms and asked with a frown, âSo, are you suggesting that Mekhi might have confined his mother, drugged her, and then did the same to Noelle?â
Lucinda and Cyrus nodded with serious expressions.
Nathan bent his head to hide the malice and viciousness in his eyes and remained silent.
The conversation went on.
Luisa pondered, âIf thatâs the case, does it mean Mekhi still has the drugs?â
