As soon as the call connected, before she could utter a word, Mekhi’s voice chimed in, “So, you’ve finally come around?”
Inhaling deeply, she composed herself and responded, “Yes, I’m ready to move back to the house.”

“Great news! Just tell me where you’re at. I’ll have the driver pick you up.” Mekhi’s laughter echoed with a sense of elation.
“There’s no need for that. Cyrus will take me there.”
Mekhi’s voice turned cold.
“You are a member of the Shaw family, and I’ll have my driver come get you. Why are you insistent on having Cyrus drive you?”

Once the call ended, both Noelle and Cyrus were left with solemn expressions etched upon their faces.

Lucinda and I can’t get involved in your family affairs.”
Immediately he finished speaking, he caught a flicker in Noelle’s eyes, and suddenly realized something.
“Hmm.. Is it wrong to badmouth your brother to your face?”
Noelle was amused by his reaction.
“Well, the cat’s out of the bag.
