Upon hearing this, Sally stared at Lucinda in disbelief.


    “Lucinda, is this some kind of joke? How would Mekhi lock up our mother and inject some drug into her? You might be mistaken.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    My mother has a difficult temperament.


    She avoids going out and only attends important events for Mekhi’s sake.


    She’s indifferent towards us.


    In any case, she’s cold to everyone except Mekhi.


    She unquestionably listens to him.


    ”


    Lucinda sighed, offering an exnation, “Your mother only listens to Mekhi.


    Doesn’t that strike you as strange?”


    “Well…” Sally looked at her, puzzled.


    Lucinda went on, “Noelle and Cyrus have been together for over a year and they are deeply in love.


    But, at the Shaw family banquet, she publicly agreed to get engaged to another man.


    She no longer recognized me and Cyrus and only followed Mekhi’s instructions.


    Sound familiar?”


    Sally pondered the revtion.


    Each time Kaitlin attended a formal event, she truly did exactly as Mekhi instructed.


    Sally’splexion turned ashen.


    She knew Mekhi could be ruthless but she couldn’t fathom he would do such a thing.


    Shock gripped her entirely.


    Lucinda grasped Sally’s hand, attempting to persuade her.


    “Sally, he’s going against thew and should be convicted.


    Help me once more, for your mother and for the Shaw family.


    ”


    The news unsettled Sally deeply and she struggled toe to terms with it.


    “How… How can I help you?”


    “Find a way to the top floor and look for the drug Mekhi injected into your mother.


    Then bring


    it to me.


    ”


    Sally withdrew her hand and shook her head decisively.


    “No, I can’t go there.


    He keeps a close watch on the top floor.


    There’s no chance for me to get in.


    He’s now the family head, short-tempered, and very prone to tantrums.


    If I get caught, he’ll surely punish me.


    I can’t take the risk.


    ”


    Lucinda did her best to assure Sally of her safety.


    “Don’t fret.


    I’ll assist you and ensure no harm befalls you.


    Can you bear to leave your mother to continue to endure his control and torment?”


    “I… I don’t know…”


    Tears filled Sally’s eyes, and she felt overwhelmed.


    She never felt maternal love.


    Kaitlin had never cared for her.


    Since birth, only her father and brothers looked after her.


    She had no profound love for Kaitlin, which made doing the daunting task for this woman an impossibility.


    The mere thought paralyzed her.


    “No, I absolutely cannot,” she eximed, burying her head in her hands.


    In distress, she continued, “Noelle managed to get to the top floor effortlessly before, but I can’t.


    The iron gate is my only entry, and the keys are guarded by Mekhi and the butler.


    They are locked away securely, and there’s no way I can get them.


    I apologize, Lucinda, but I can’t help.


    I’m terrified, and I can’t do what you’re asking of me.


    ”


    Lucinda dropped her head and sighed.


    “It’s alright.


    I won’t make you do it.


    ”
