Chapter 1516: Chapter 1729

Struggling to accept the reality, she turned and fled from the study in tears.

With a gloomy face, Mekhi felt his useless siblings were annoying.

Subsequently, he called one of his men and instructed, “Nathan took Kyson to the interrogation room.

Monitor how he handles Kyson closely.

”

In the car, Kyson, who had lost consciousness, gradually awoke after receiving an antibiotic injection.

While the car moved, he opened his eyes and watched Sonny, seated beside him, adeptly tending to the wound on his own hand.

Sonny gazed at him and said, “You’re finally awake.

You’re quite weak, but you managed to bite me so hard.

Was that intentional? It was a revenge move, right?”

With a smile, Kyson responded, “If I don’t genuinely bite you, how can I express my pain, anger, and despair? Mekhi is sharp.

It’s difficult to deceive him.

”

“If I’d known sooner, I would’ve slapped you harder.

What a shame,”

Sonny sneered.

Seeing Sonny still upset, Kyson giggled.

He slowly propped himself up and sat upright.

Nathan, seated across from them, attentively perused some documents.

In a hushed tone, Kyson inquired, “How did you know I was in trouble?

You arrived quickly.

”

“Sally messaged Lucinda, urging her to return the stolen items to save you.

”

Touched, Kyson remarked, “Sally is genuinely innocent.

She’s oblivious to the complexities of human nature.

”

If Lucinda indeed returned the drug, Mekhi would confirm him as the thief.

Not only would Lucinda’s efforts be in vain, but Mekhi would likely attempt to kill him discreetly.

His only way to stay alive was to deny it.

Kyson, smart in his own right, gazed at Nathan and inquired, “How’s the drug test progressing? Mekhi kept emphasizing its significance to him last night.

”

“The results aren’t out yet.

Aldric has to cross-reference the data.

If all goes smoothly, we’ll have it by noon.

”

Nathan glanced at Kyson casually and quipped, “Had we discovered the truth, it would have led to Mekhi’s arrest, not yours.

”

Kyson grinned.

“Yeah.

”

An air of quiet settled in the car as no one spoke.

After tending to his wound, Sonny looked at Kyson’s blood-stained shirt and expressed his concern, “While treating your injuries, I noticed numerous bruises and cuts.

How harshly did Mekhi lash out at you?”
