Dustin’s expression darkened, and his voice came out sharper than before. If he stayed quiet and let Nathaniel search him without protest, it would only make him look suspicious.

“Logan, there’s been a break-in. The whole mansion is on lockdown. For your safety, we need to search the place,” Nathaniel said, his expression darkening.

He was convinced Dustin was the thief. But without solid evidence, he couldn’t make a direct accusation. If Dustin resisted, Nathaniel wouldn’t hesitate to act.

“Break-in?” Dustin raised an eyebrow. ” Really? Is that what the tremor earlier was about?”

“We’ll go over the details later. Right now, we can’t risk letting anyone slip away. So, I must search your place,” Nathaniel said.

He wasn’t in the mood to explain further. Then, he waved a hand toward Lycas and Bryce and signaled them to act.

The two exchanged a glance, then stormed into the inner room with a squad of guards behind them.

Nathaniel gave Dustin one long, measured look before following them inside.

In the warm glow, a woman in a red dress sat serenely. Her dark hair was pulled back in an elegant updo with a golden ornament swaying gently. The pearls on it caught the light and cast soft shadows along her face.

Her eyebrows were finely shaped, and the slight tilt of her eyes gave her a graceful, almost playful expression. The way her gaze shifted made her eyes sparkle with an allure deeper than any jewel.

Her nose was sculpted with delicate precision, and her lips, naturally red, curled into a smile that seemed as captivating as a flower blooming in the snow. Even her dimples hinted at a playful charm.
