What was Nathaniel saying?
Was he aware? Did Amanda reveal the secret?
Enoch stumbled backwards a few steps.
After taking a deep breath and composing himself, he put on a smile and feigned ignorance.
âWhat are you talking about, Nathaniel? I donât get it.
â
However, Nathaniel wasnât convinced of Enochâs feigned innocence and his expression remained icy.
Enoch scanned the room nervously, eyeing the bodyguards stationed behind Lucinda.
They looked fierce and menacing, sending a shiver down his spine.
He didnât want his family to be dragged into any trouble, so he turned to Zola and said in a low voice, âCoco has just woken up, hasnât she? Take her upstairs to wash up.
We shouldnât look so disheveled before our guests.
â
âOkay.
Zola understood what her husband was implying and turned to pull Coco.
âCome on, Coco.
Letâs go.
â
However, Lucindaâs four imposing bodyguards quickly blocked their way.
Abel and Rickey stood in front of the stairs, while Leon and Conor guarded the door, effectively trapping them in the living room.
âYou⦠What do you think you are you doing? You are too full of yourself! This is my house.
â
Enoch was seething with anger that his face flushed red.
Coco cowered in fear and hid in Zolaâs arms.
âNo one leaves until everything is settled.
â
Lucinda smiled, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
She maintained a calm and collected demeanor.
Finally, Enoch sighed and said, âActually, itâs not what you think.
When I found out that Amanda had become a servant in the Roberts mansion, I went to see her.
She told me about her plan and asked for my help, but I refused and tried to persuade her to not go through with itâ¦â
He paused for a moment, and then seemed to come to a realization of something.
âI guess she went ahead with it anyway.
Lucinda, are you feeling alright? I heard that the drugs she talked about could have serious side effects.
Itâs all my fault, I should have tried harder to stop her.
â He sighed and pretended to be regretful.
Enochâs speech was really clever as he denied his involvement in this incident as well as showed his concern for Lucinda and Nathaniel.
