Nathan remained motionless. His head hung low and his gaze was icy.
Knowing that he suffered from angina pectoris, she gently patted his cheek to offer him solace.
“Just do as I said. Sit here. Maybe you can prove your innocence later.”
Gradually, his anger subsided, and he reluctantly settled onto the sofa.
Fifteen minutes later, Sonny rushed in.
The tense atmosphere in the living room immediately startled him.
Noticing the pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, he instantly understood what was going on.

Mission accomplished!
Standing tall across the coffee table, Sonny felt satisfied.

When Nathan glanced at Sonny, he noticed a smile playing on his face.
Struggling to suppress his anger in Lucinda’s presence, he said in a low voice, “Lucinda found the cigarettes in the drawer. Now, help me explain honestly to her what really happened. If you dare to lie to her, I’ll subject you to a polygraph test and an electric shock machine!”

How did things take such an unexpected turn for Lucinda?
Wasn’t Nathan hoping to face consequences? Shouldn’t he be relieved?
Sonny was too frightened to utter a word.
Lucinda furrowed her brow and glared at Nathan.
“Why did you threaten him?”

His tone softened immediately.

After a brief pause, Sonny unconsciously looked Nathan’s way.
“Electric shock machine,” Nathan reminded.
Trembling with fear, Sonny replied, “No, he didn’t! He asked me for a cigarette, but he threw it away after sniffing it.”
