By the time Lucinda emerged from the villa, the policemen had already deposited Melody in one of the cars.
Santos and Tricia were having an animated conversation with a man, seemingly pleading for their daughter’s case. Tricia was sobbing hysterically.
Lucinda slowly approached them, briefly noting that the man the couple was talking to was wearing a military uniform and his back resembled Kyson’s so much.
He turned around at the sound of her footsteps.
“Miss Simmons,” Mekhi Shaw greeted with a smile.
“Do you still remember me?”
He Looked almost exactly like his younger brother Kyson.
But when he smiled, his amber eyes were sharper than Kyson’s.
“Mr. Shaw.” Lucinda gave him a polite smile.
“You are now the head of the Shaw family. Is there anyone in the city who doesn’t know you?”

Mekhi was the second son of the last Shaw patriarch, as well as the second-in-command within the National Security Bureau. He only answered to Nathan, no one else.
He gazed at Lucinda and sighed, his hand already reaching out to pat her head.
“You used to come over to our house all the time, to play with Kyson. I haven’t seen you in so many years. You’ve become even more beautiful than I remember.”
Lucinda sidestepped to dodge his hand.
“I’m sorry, but my fiance gets jealous easily. He would be upset if he finds out that another man has touched me.”
“Ah, I see. What an enviable relationship.” Mekhi withdrew his hand, his expression kind. He didn’t seem to be embarrassed by her sudden movement.

“I haven’t seen your fiance for quite a while, too. He hasn’t shown up at the National Security Bureau lately. How is he doing?”
Lucinda’s eyes narrowed slightly as she calculated the possibility that he might be fishing for information.
Sonny and Larry, and a handful of other subordinates, were aware of Nathan’s condition. Mekhi was his second-in-command, yet he knew nothing at all?
“He’s doing good, as always,” Lucinda answered lightly.
“Unlike me, he doesn’t get sick that often.”
“I see. Then, please take care of yourself. And say hello to him for me.”
They exchanged a few more pleasantries after that, but Tricia interrupted before they could bid each other farewell.
“Mekhi, Melody made some mistakes, but only because she was young and thoughtless. Don’t you know that she was diagnosed with a mental ailment before? Please look into it and evaluate her case properly!”
