Is this your way of proving loyalty?”


    “Alright, I’ll do it.


    Trust me,” Kyson affirmed.


    “Good.


    ” Mekhi sprawledzily in the chair, puffing on his cigarette.


    He watched the ascending smoke with his captivating eyes, appearing brooding and aloof.


    “Before the dinner party, for your safety, can you hand over all yourmunication devices?”


    Kyson was taken aback.


    He hesitated for a moment and then ced his phone on the desk.


    “I have little money so this is the only phone I have.


    If you doubt me, you can have your bodyguards search my room.


    ”


    Mekhi reassured with a warm smile, “Of course I believe you.

    Later that day, the official Shaw Group website announced that Kyson was alive and had only


    been sent abroad for a year of further study.


    When Lucinda supposedly shot Kyson dead, Cyrus had a tough time quelling the online uproar.


    With Kyson’s return, the rumors were put to rest.


    Lucinda sat on the sofa, watching the Shaw family news.


    After washing the strawberry, Nathan held one up to her lips and took a look at her iPad.


    “I didn’t expect that after a year abroad, Kyson would return to his old life.


    Any idea why, Lucinda?”


    Chewing on the strawberries in her mouth, she pondered but didn’t respond to Nathan’s question.


    He went on, “I’ve always felt he came back for someone or something.


    What could he be hiding?”


    Nathan couldn’t exin it, but he sensed there was more to Kyson’s return.


    When Kyson left Cadiered and Eurfrica, he was grappling with his illegitimate child identity and had grown tired of living under the names Kyson or Lance.


    Nathan believed Kyson would keep his real identity a secret for life.


    Unexpectedly, after just a year away, Kyson returned as if he had taken a short trip abroad.


    Lucinda patted Nathan on the arm and inquired softly, “Do you still despise him?”


    “No, it’s been an entire year.


    Now I’m in good health and high spirits.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    It’s better to carry a tune than a grudge,” Nathan replied.


    Stroking his attractive face tenderly, she expressed, “That’s good.


    Since he’s willing to help us, we can rely on him for now.


    As long as he poses no threat, it’s okay for him to keep his little secrets.
