They exchanged smiles.


    Mekhi, back at the banquet hall, was intercepted by the concerned butler.


    “Mr.


    Shaw, something bad has happened.


    ” the butler, visibly anxious, muttered, “My key to the top floor is missing.


    Before the banquet, only Mr Kyson Shaw came near me.


    ”


    Mekhi’s face instantly changed and anger burned in his eyes.


    Through gritted teeth, he growled, “Kyson! How could he!”


    As Mekhi moved to enter the vi, the butler held him back.


    “Mr.


    Shaw, don’t be hasty.


    It’s just a suspicion.


    With so many guests, revealing news about the top floor isn’t appropriate.


    Mr.


    Payne’s presence could stir up quite amotion.


    ”


    After a brief surge of anger, Mekhi swiftly


    suppressed the fiery resentment in his eyes.


    He handed his key to the butler and calmly instructed, “Keep quiet for now.


    Find a chance to head up to the top floor, assess the situation, and thoroughly inspect for any missing items.


    ”


    “Absolutely, Mr.


    Shaw.


    ”


    The butler quickly turned and proceeded to carry out the task.


    Mekhi summoned two more bodyguards and instructed, “Go upstairs and watch over Kyson.


    Ensure he stays put in his room.


    ”

    Kyson, having just returned to his room, paced restlessly.


    He had given Lucinda the items and now needed an opportunity to return the key to the top floor to the butler.


    He watched the situation in the garden from time to time.


    When he was about to leave his room, he saw two bodyguards stationed outside his door.


    “What’s going on?”


    Respectfully, the two guards turned and replied, “Mr.


    Mekhi Shaw mentioned that you’re not feeling well.


    Kindly remain in your room and get some rest.


    ”


    “I’ve already rested.


    I’m perfectly fine now.


    My wee dinner is ongoing.


    I intend to join my brother downstairs to host our guests.


    Is that not allowed?”


    Firmly, the bodyguard stated, “No, you can’t.


    Mr.


    Mekhi Shaw insists that you remain in your room.


    He may check on you after the dinner.


    ”


    Regardless of Kyson’s protests, the two bodyguards adamantly prevented him from leaving and cited it as Mekhi’s order.


    Stifling his anger, Kyson mmed the door and left the two bothersome bodyguards outside.


    Did this surveince mean that his cover was blown?


    Checking his trouser pocket, he confirmed the stolen key from the butler was still in his possession.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
