She halted and turned to inquire, “Mekhi, you heard that, right?”
Sonny interjected, “I heard what sounded like the clinking of chains.
Isn’t it strange to hear such noise in a house? Could it be… Could someone be imprisoned up there?”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Sonny!” Mekhi snapped, his eyes shing with anger.
“This is a family matter.
It’s none of your concern.
It’s not chains making the noise.
It’s just the wind blowing the curtain as the window is open.
”
Lucinda shot a skeptical nce at the closed door behind her.
The curtain? She wasn’t buying that feeble excuse.
She had worked hard to get into this house, and if she couldn’t find Noelle, Mekhi would only be more vignt, which would make it tougher to return.
Lucinda wasn’t ready to admit defeat and return home with nothing.
Instead, she resolved to go all-in.
The instant Lucinda resolved to act, she clenched her fists and swiftly moved towards the closed door when Mekhi’s gaze was averted.
Even Sonny didn’t see iting.
“Lucinda!”
Mekhi was the first one toe to his senses.
He instantly raised the loaded gun he was holding.
He was on the brink of pulling the trigger.
In this critical moment, a man forcefully grasped his wrist, causing him to nearly lose his grip
on the gun.
He turned and saw Nathan, who had just arrived, fixing him with an cold re.
“Mr.
Payne…”
“How dare you aim a gun at my wife? I could have you ousted from your position this instant.
”
Nathan’s intense look grew with his words.
He wrested the gun from Mekhi’s grasp and flung it to the floor.
With Nathan present, Mekhi’s earlier bravado dwindled.
Realizing Nathan’s timely intervention, Lucinda pushed the door open and hurried into the dark lit room.
As she turned on the light, she saw the contents of the room clearly and was utterly stunned.
Sonny, following closely behind, was equally shocked by the grim scene.
