Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1720

“Guard!”

A bodyguards promptly entered and responded with respect, “Sir?”

Pointing to the newly soaked vines, Mekhi issued a cold command, “Continue striking him until he confesses.

”

“Yes, sir.

”

Kyson put his hands on the floor.

He was dizzy and shivered instinctively as he saw the bodyguard beside him wielding a vine.

“Mekhi, even if you beat me to my death, I won’t confess to something I haven’t done.

”

“It means little if you’re truly innocent! I can’t afford the risk of letting go of you.

” With a disdainful smirk, Mekhi brought out a sharp dagger and hurled it at Kyson.

“Since you’re so insistent on your innocence, prove it.

End your own life, and I’ll believe you’re innocent.

”

Kyson stared at the dagger, slowly picked it up, and grasped the hilt tightly.

“No! Please spare him.

He’s in a terrible s

tate.

Despite your brutal whipping, he maintains his innocence.

I truly believe he’s telling the truth.

”

Sally’s eyes welled with tears as she clung to Kyson to stop him from killing himself.

Mekhi let out a contemptuous snort.

“You don’t know him.

He’s been through Secret Investigation Department’s training.

Extracting information from him won’t be easy.

I must be cruel.

”

“Please, Mekhi! Kyson tends to go to extremes.

If he didn’t do it, he would truly kill himself to prove his innocence.

I don’t want him to face such a dire consequence.

Despite having different mothers, we are family.

Please, don’t be excessively harsh on him,” she pleaded tearfully.

Seeing the wounds on Kyson’s back up close intensified her shock.

Seeing Kyson’s potential self-harm, Shiloh swiftly intervened, “Sir, spare Kyson.

It might be a mere coincidence…”

“Coincidence?” Mekhi narrowed his sharp eyes and said, “You’ve always been careful with the top floor key.

It’s either you lost it due to carelessness, or Kyson stole it.

”

“Well…”

Shiloh found himself in a dilemma.

Admitting negligence meant that Mekhi would hold him accountable for the lost key.

And he was too old to endure the beating.

Mekhi shifted his gaze back to the battered Kyson.

Sally tightly embraced him, preventing the bodyguard from further beating him.

Her cries resonated with despair.

“Kyson, return the key and the stolen medicine, and I’ll show mercy this time,” Mekhi declared.

“Kyson, if you indeed took them, give them to him.

Else, he’ll beat you to death today!” Sally pleaded.

Kyson forced a bitter smile.

He felt sharp pain as cold sweat dripped from his chin to form pools on the floor.

How could he surrender something no longer in his possession?

Admitting guilt certainly meant death.
