Seeing that he looked cold and indifferent, the housekeeper sighed, said nothing, and obediently left the room to do his job.
At lunchtime, the atmosphere in the Callahan family's dining room was particularly gloomy.
Noticing that Shane was preoccupied and not in a good mood, Rebecca and Timothy didn't dare to speak, and silently kept their heads down to eat.
In the large dining room, there was only the sound of dishes.
Shane face looked gloomy and remembered the other person locked on the top floor. Melissa had
learned the Callahan family secret ...
Having her stay on Malcolm's side was always a great threat.
Shane hated that he couldn't kill her right away.
With a snap sound, he sulked and set his fork down heavily on the table.
The sudden crisp ringing sound startled both Rebecca and Timothy, who were too scared to chew the spaghetti in their mouths.
Timothy, who was a coward and had little idea, saw that Shane was not eating, so he put down his fork, swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth and sat in silence.
Rebecca was also embarrassed to continue eating, followed by putting down her fork and turning her head to look at Shane.
"Shane, what's wrong with you?" With the cautious tone, she tentatively continued, "Is it because of ... Melissa being taken away?"
Shane lifted his eyes, looked at her for a few moments, and had an idea.
"Lyra's earrings, since she said she lost them, you should return them to her. If you like them, I will send you a similar one later."
Rebecca didn't dare refuse and could only respond less than happily, "Got it."
Shane continued, "Lyra used you to take Melissa way. She should be sorry for you. During this time, you make a few more trips to Lyre Spiti."
"Huh?"
Rebecca was all confused, "Didn't you say last night I should stay away from Lyra ...?"
"Last night was bygone. Now Melissa is over there. I don't know how safe and sound she is. You take this excuse to go over there see her. Can't you do it?"
Rebecca was wordless.
Was this asking her to be a double agent?
If Shane knew that Melissa was taken away and that she volunteered to help, would he kill her in a fit of rage?
Her heart fluttered and her head lowered; she didn't want Melissa back at all.
"Shane, Lyra and Melissa are bosom friends. She will certainly not harm Melissa, and didn't you say that Melissa is very sick? Lyra took her away for the treatment. Is not just right? We also save ourselves the trouble."
Snapping-
A loud noise.
Shane, in a fit of rage, directly lifted the plate in front of him to the ground. The broken porcelain was everywhere.
Both Timothy and Rebecca shuddered.
Rebecca's eyes were filled with tears of fear, and she bit the corner of her lip in grievance, cowering and apologizing, "Shane, don't be angry. I am sorry."
Shane's face eased for a moment, "Although you have little affection for Melissa, she is after all your sister. She is seriously ill and has some mental problems. You're her sister. Shouldn't you go to see her?"
"Yes, I'll finish the meal and check it out this afternoon."
"Be safe. I will arrange two strong bodyguards to follow you."
Rebecca was slightly stunned and didn't think much of it, "Okay, I get it."
Shane soon calmed down considerably.
A servant brought a new set of dishes and set them up in front of Shane in a disciplined manner.
Shane picked up his fork and returned to his usual easy-going demeanor, "The food is getting cold. Don't just sit there. Keep eating."
Only then did Timothy and Rebecca dare to move their forks and focus on their food.
After another moment, Shane continued, "Timothy, have you been busy over at the company lately?"
