Mekhi’s lips tightened, and he stayed silent.


    She went on, “She’s been dating Cyrus for nearly a year, yet you’re marrying her off to another man for gain.


    You’re a heartless monster.


    You can’t deny that.


    ”


    With a determined expression, Mekhi admitted, “You’re right.


    The Shaw family has never provided for her, mot even for a day.


    But I will make it up to her.


    As for the engagement…”


    He paused, his resolve evident.


    “I’ve decided that Noelle will get engaged to Quintin.


    Mrs.


    Payne, you were there and you saw that it was her choice.

    ”


    He stood up and offered a slight bow to Nathan and Lucinda, who still sat on the sofa.


    “Sir, madam, in the absence of anything else, I’ll return to my office to attend to my duties.


    ”


    Nathan turned to Lucinda, and seeing she had no intention of keeping Mekhi further, he nodded in agreement.


    Mekhi took a few steps towards the door, then paused and turned back.


    “Mrs.


    Payne, please tell your brother to move on with his life.


    I don’t think he and my sister are a good match.


    I hope he finds happiness in a new rtionship.


    ”


    Lucinda and Nathan didn’t say a word as Mekhi left with a smile.


    After he was gone, Lucinda’s anger red.


    She grabbed a teacup and wanted to fling it across the room.


    Nathan quickly intervened, “Honey, that’s a rare porcin worth over ten million dors, brought fromst month’s auction.


    You don’t want to break it, do you?”


    Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him.


    “Are you more concerned about money than me? Do you think I’m a profligate?”


    Nathan reassured her, “No, not at all!” he continued with a smile, “If you need to vent, I have seven other unique porcin sets in the kitchen.


    You can smash as many as you want.


    ”


    But the teacup’s price made Lucinda hesitate.


    It seemed wasteful to destroy such a valuable item because of Mekhi.


    Reluctantly, she put down the teacup and grabbed a crystal cup nearby.


    Nathan suggested, “Honey, this crystal cup was flown down from Rosewood and worth about two million.


    Much cheaper than the teacup.


    You can smash it if it helps.


    ”


    Lucinda pondered if her anger was worth smashing a two-million-dor cup.


    Clearly, it wasn’t.
