With an apologetic bow to Mekhi, Quintin rushed out of the reception room.


    Before the door shut, Quintin heard the resounding crash of something shattering inside.


    Fear coursed through him, and sweat continued to bead on his brow.


    But he couldn’t afford to dwell on it now.


    His partnership with the Simmons family was of utmost importance.


    With that thought, he quickened his pace as it was almost twelve o’clock.


    On his way back, he instantly instructed hispany’s public rtions department to announce his decision to end his engagement with the Shaw family’s daughter.


    Meanwhile, inside the reception room, Mekhi’s temper red.


    A set of expensive tea cups and saucersy shattered in pieces.


    Lucinda! Cyrus! Nathan! They had once again disrupted his carefullyid ns.


    He clenched his teeth and his eyes were sharp with a cold determination.


    The butler hesitated, reluctant to step forward.


    He kept his distance and said in a low tone, “Sir, the Hudson family has showered you with a generous cash gift and is willing to take full responsibility for calling off the engagement.


    The Shaw family won’t suffer significant losses, and you’ve gained a substantial sum of money.


    ”


    The butler’s words made sense, for the Shaw family did profit from the engagement.


    Mekhi’s anger began to subside, and he slouched on the sofa, contemting the whole thing.


    “If the Hudsons want to break the engagement, let them.


    Since the Shaw family won’t incur losses, there’s no reason to hold on.


    Our immediate concern is Noelle.


    ”


    Although in Noelle’s current state, she was unable to reveal the Shaw family’s secrets, Nathan


    and Lucinda were doing everything in their power to help her recover.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Keeping Noelle around them was Like a ticking time bomb.


    After some hesitation, Mekhi instructed the butler, “Get some men to watch both the Paynes’ house and the National Security Bureau.


    Focus on wherever Noelle will be ced.


    ”


    “Understood, Mr.


    Shaw.


    ”


    With a dangerous glint in his narrowed eyes, Mekhi issued a coldmand, “If they detect any signs of Noelle regaining her sanity, they should take immediate action without hesitation.


    They should do whatever it takes to kill her, and report to meter.


    ”


    The butler was dumbfounded.


    “Mr.


    Shaw, she… She is your own sister.


    ”


    Mekhi’s eyes were nk.


    “I’ll spare no one, even if they happen to be family, when ites to safeguarding the Shaw family’s interests,” Mekhi dered firmly.


    Seeing Mekhi’s cold and emotionless expression, the butler let out a sigh and left obediently without uttering a word.


    At lunch, the air in the dining room of the Shaws’ house was thick with tension.
