He adeptly loaded it and pressed it against his forehead, a faint smile dancing at the corners of his lips.


    Shiloh was visibly rmed.


    “Sir! What are you doing? Please calm down! We’re not at the end of our rope.


    There’s always a chance for things to change.


    ”


    With a subtle grin, Mekhi set the gun down and ran his fingers over it.


    “Don’t be scared.


    You think I’d take my own life? Only someone who’s utterly defeated resorts to that.


    It’s not over yet.


    The one who has thestugh often has the best one.


    ”


    He had spent several years practicing shooting, leaving calluses on his fingers.


    As he ran them along the firearm, a rush of excitement ran through him.


    “I believed Kyson was back for revenge against Nathan, so I sympathized with him and extended a helping hand.


    Little did I know that he would sell me out.


    I’m determined to bring him down, even if it means my own death!”


    Having spoken those words, he forcefully ced the gun on the desk with a resounding thud.


    In a nonchnt tone, he said to Shiloh, “Considering the theft of the drugst night, I suspect Nathan may have already uncovered the drug’sposition.


    While he’s busy gathering evidence of my crime, you must dispose of the remaining drugs by flushing them down the toilet.


    You must also shatter the ss containers, bury them in the ground, and incinerate all the packaging.


    Ensure there’s no trace left behind.


    Regarding those rooms on the top floor, destroy anything suspicious in them, Tell the servants to disinfect the rooms and ensure they are spotlessly cleaned.


    There’s no time to waste! You mustplete this task before midnight.


    ”


    Shiloh nodded and said, “Sir, if you’re concerned about leaving evidence, why not simply dispose of the drugs? Also, you purchased those drugs at a considerably high cost.


    Destroying them would result in a significant financial loss, wouldn’t it?”


    In this crucial moment, mary matters held no significance for Mekhi.


    He responded with seriousness, “Perhaps Nathan has sent his men to observe our actions.


    If the servants were to discard the drugs, it might arouse Nathan’s suspicion.


    Just follow my instructions.


    ”


    “Very well, sir,” Shiloh responded, offering no further words.


    After Shiloh left, Mekhi adjusted his cor and left the study.


    He then ascended to the top floor at a leisurely pace.


    He opened the heavy iron lock on the top floor and entered the third room on the left without ncing

    As he pushed the door open, he saw a frail woman lying on the bed.


    Her wrists bore the red imprints of heavy iron chains.


    Mekhi made his way to the bed, took a seat, unfastened the chains, and tenderly massaged her wrists.


    In a gentle tone, he said, “Mom, please don’t me me.


    You’ve always said you’d do anything for me.


    Now, the person you despise the most, Kyson, has joined forces with Nathan to harm me.


    You alone cane to my aid.


    ”


    He cradled Kaitlin in his arms, soothingly caressing her back, though his eyes remained cold.


    Almost as if catching a familiar scent, Kaitlin blinked her eyes and started to regain some rity.


    She gazed up at her handsome son, wearing a content yet somewhat eerie smile.


    “Yes, my dearest son, I’ll grant your wish, even if it means sacrificing my life.


    ”


    Upon hearing Kaitlin’s gentle words, Mekhi’s eyes welled up with tears, and he began to sob.


    “Mom, I’m truly sorry.


    I want to continue living.


    I don’t want to forfeit the respect and influence I’ve gained.


    I dread the thought of being sent to that high-security prison.


    I refuse to lead a wretched life.
