Casting a quick glance at his watch, Sonny decided not to prolong the conversation.
We will ascertain the truth once weve searched the house. For now, please step aside.
With a commanding gesture, he signaled the soldiers to storm into the villa.
The Shaw familys bodyguards couldnt intervene, as this operation was backed by the National Security Bureau. Mekhi wasnt around, leaving the butler uncertain about how to respond.

Abruptly, his phone rang, drawing a disapproving look from Nathan.

Startled, Mekhi quickly muted his phone and anxiously addressed Nathan, Sir, theres a crisis involving my family. May I be excused?

Sir, one of my sisters is very unwell. Ive arranged for a nurse to care for her. I just received a call from the nurse, and I must rush back to check on my sisters well-being. If my actions displease you and are seen as disobedience, I am prepared to return and face the consequences tomorrow.
With those words, he turned around and quickly opened the door.
Mekhi!
Nathan called out, but Mekhi paid no heed. His determination to return home was unwavering.
