Nathan nced at his wristwatch.


    He was certain that Lucinda and Sonny were not done with the investigation.


    With a stern expression, he rose abruptly from his desk and exited his office.


    He then drove to the Shaws’ house.


    Meanwhile, the soldiers, with feigned searches, took care not to damage any furniture inside the vi.


    “Sir!” A soldier emerged from the vi and respectfully bowed to Sonny.


    “Have you found anything?” inquired Sonny.


    “The top floor is locked, and we can’t gain ess,” he reported.


    Sonny cast a nce at the butler beside him.


    He appeared flustered and said, “Absolutely not! The top floor is where our madam resides.


    She’s resting at the moment, and it would be improper to disturb her.


    Moreover, it’s highly improbable that the earrings are on the top floor.


    ”


    Assertively, he continued, “No one is allowed ess, not even Miss Shaw.


    It’s inconceivable that she would conceal anything there.


    If Mr.


    Shaw returns and discovers that the top floor has been searched, he’ll be furious! He holds the position of deputy director at the National Security Bureau.


    Are you not concerned about the repercussions of conducting such a search in his house?”


    Sonny exchanged an embarrassed nce with Lucinda, who was rendered speechless by the butler’s unyielding stance.


    Then another soldier hurried over and whispered in her ear, “Madam, she’s not in her room.


    ”


    If Noelle wasn’t in the room, it meant she must be on the top floor.


    Lucinda gazed sternly at the butler and dered firmly, “My earrings are unique and worth hundreds of millions.


    If Sally has truly taken them, she’ll face criminal charges.


    If you want to prove her innocence, step aside.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ”


    Sonny added, “We’re acting under orders from the National Security Bureau.


    If you obstruct us, you’ll be charged for that.


    ”


    Their sudden desire to arrest him left the butler bewildered.


    The bodyguard had tried to call Mekhi, but received no response.


    The uncertainty of Mekhi’s return weighed heavily on his mind.


    He was terrified at the thought of going to jail.


    His fear grew, and the butler had no choice but to concede.


    “Alright, I’ll unlock the door for you.


    ”


    Lucinda and Sonny exchanged nces and followed him upstairs.


    As they reached the top floor, the butler brought out the key, hesitating as he considered the secrets beyond the door.


    His trembling hand betrayed his apprehension.
