âAlright, Iâll leave you to your peace then.
Heading upstairs now.
â
âVery well.
â
Kyson left the dining room and ascended the stairs.
As he turned away, the smile vanished, replaced by a cold aura of resentment.
In the huge dining room, just Mekhi was eating, which appeared a bit cold and empty.
Undeterred, he continued eating.
Minutes later, he discreetly summoned his bodyguards.
In a hushed tone, he instructed, âFind out where Kyson went before coming here and check if he met Nathan.
â
Sitting on the bed in the guest room, a sense of unease crept over Kyson.
Aware of Mekhiâs suspicious nature, Kyson doubted he would fully believe him.
Concerned, he reached out to Nathan via message.

The following morning, during breakfast, Mekhi and the others remained silent.
The only audible sound was the munching of food.
After some time, Mekhi said, ââKyson, now that youâre back, Iâll publicly declare your return and organize a welcome-back dinner for you.
â
Wearing a bashful expression, Kyson responded, âBut if Nathan finds out, heâll surely apprehend me and subject me to torment.
â
Seeing Kysonâs uneasy demeanor, Mekhi relaxed his guard.
âDonât leave the house before I announce it.
Your safety is guaranteed.
â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts.
You said last night that you would follow my orders.
Have you forgotten already?â Mekhiâs expression turned sour.
This left Kyson with no choice but to acquiesce, âAlright.
â
âIn two hours, come to my study.
We need to discuss something,â Mekhi instructed.
âOkay.
â
A hush fell over the dining room again.
After breakfast, acting on Mekhiâs directive, Sally headed to N&L Fairy Land again to check on Noelle.
Meanwhile, Ryder headed to the National Security Bureau, tirelessly juggling responsibilities at both the company and the Bureau.
As a result, he was very exhausted and had even more resentment towards Mekhi.
