âVery well, thatâs your promise.
If your attitude changes later, the law wonât be lenient.
â
Nathanâs deep voice carried a threat as he warned.
Shiloh swallowed hard and nodded.
Sitting next to Nathan, Sonny had his laptop open in front of him, diligently recording every detail of Shilohâs statement.
Nathan cut straight to the chase.
âThe glass fragments in the backyard have been examined, and theyâre very new and clean.
On the day following the welcome banquet, did the servants in the Shaw family house have any specific tasks assigned to them?â
Shiloh was taken aback and beads of sweat immediately formed on his face.
âWhy do you ask, Mr.
Payne?â
Nathan, still idly toying with his watch, replied, âYouâre not the only one in the Shaw family aware of the truth.
Someone has already divulged the fact to me.
Are you sure you want to keep hiding it?â
Shilohâs fists clenched under the restraints of the handcuffs.
âWho is it? Who dares to spread baseless accusations and tarnish Mr.
Shawâs reputation in the Shaw family?â
Nathan arched an eyebrow coldly and inquired, âWhen did I imply that it concerns Mekhi?â
Shiloh couldnât find the words to respond.
Nathan grinned.
âThatâs correct.
Heâs the head of the Shaw family.
Naturally, your actions to tidy up and conceal the evidence are his orders.
â
Shiloh bowed his head and explained, âYouâre mistaken, Mr.
Payne.
Mr.
Shaw is a calm and busy person
and is rarely concerned with the servantsâ matters.
He doesnât interfere with the cleaning of the villa either.
â
Nathan refrained from arguing further.
He seized the moment to state, âIndeed, heâs entrusted you with all these tasks and has successfully entangled you in this situation.
â
Shiloh was puzzled and inquired, âWhat do you mean?â
âIâm aware youâve done much for Mekhi.
If you donât tell me the truth, you might be implicated.
Heâs involved in numerous crimes.
Are you absolutely certain you donât wish to confess and potentially receive a more lenient punishment?â
âI⦠I truly donât have any knowledge about it.
Mr.
Payne, please, make a fair judgment.
I had nothing to do with this,â Shiloh pleaded.
Nathan didnât want to spend too much time on him.
He brought out an intact glass tube with a little clear liquid.
When Shiloh saw the tube, his eyes widened in sheer terror.
Nathan observed his reaction and brought out another glass tube, filled with clear liquid.
This was the one Kyson had taken.
âThe expert examiner has compared the medicine Kyson stole from the top floor with this one intended for disposal in the Shaw familyâs backyard.
They match perfectly.
â
Shiloh was soaked in sweat.
Sonny chimed in, âShiloh, Mr.
Payne came to question you personally to offer you a chance.
Weâre already aware of the truth.
If you persist in staying silent, youâll be seen as an accomplice to Mekhi.
In that case, you might spend the rest of your life in prison.
