A distinct sound filled the room.


    It caused him some difort when she struck him, but he endured it.


    Strangely, aside from being shy, he didn’t despise the experience.


    Late into the night, when even the birds were asleep, the doors and windows of the N&L Fairy Land’s master bedroom were shut.


    The sounds inside didn’t escape.


    After about thirty strikes, Nathan’s fair skin had turned red, but Lucinda hadn’t employed her full force.


    She set down the ruler, untied him, and then quickly positioned herself on top of him.


    She gently grasped his chin with her fingertips and beamed enchantingly.


    “The sight of your red and swollen behind strangely arouses me.


    I’ve never seen you like this.


    Let’s explore something different tonight!”


    Nathan willingly closed his eyes, allowing her to take control.


    It turned out to be a great night for both of them.


    Two dayster, Nathan sat in his office in National Security Bureau and was reviewing the evidence of Mekhi’s crimes.


    If everything proceeded as nned, the verdict of the trial would be delivered that day or the next.


    With the umtion of penalties for various offenses, Mekhi would receive the death penalty, just as he had desired.


    Suddenly, a gentle knock echoed through the door.


    Sonny entered the room and began, “Nathan, things have taken a rough turn for the Shaw familytely.


    ”


    Nathan’s attention remained fixed on the papers he held and he inquired without looking up, “What’s troubling them?”


    “Ever since Mekhi’s arrest, a swarm of Shaw family members have returned.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    It appears they’re gearing up for a power struggle.


    ”


    Nathan acknowledged with a stoic nod.


    Sonny was puzzled over Nathan’s unexpected calmness.


    “You said that Kyson wanted to be the head of the Shaw family, right? He stole the key and provided us with the drug.


    He’s been quite an ally.


    Should we support his bid for leadership?”


    Nathan’s brow furrowed as he recollected Mekhi’s words.


    “Let’s watch Kyson’s intentions first.


    If he’s genuinely after power, he’ll seek my help.


    We can decide whether to support him at that point.


    ”


    Sonny agreed with a nod.


    “You’re absolutely right.


    ”


    Their conversation was interrupted by another knock at the door.
