Chapter 470
“Now that your illness is almost healed, I should go back to the Lawson family. What’s the purpose of this act?” Sheena twisted his earlobe a bit harder.
Elliot winced in pain but did not pull away. “Almost healed doesn’t mean completely healed. Since Corey’s last punch, I seem to have some internal injuries. I need at least a month of rest. I took that hit for you. Shouldn’t you be responsible?”
Sheena struggled to keep a serious face but ended up laughing.
How could he deliver such a lame excuse with such a righteous tone?
She remained silent as Elliot continued, “I’ve already had Lionel return to the Lawson family to help pack your things. As your fiance, it’s reasonable for you to stay at my place. Uncle Albert won’t object, and Corey can’t say anything about it.
“You sure are efficient with your little schemes, aren’t you? I’ve underestimated you, Elliot!” Sheena let go of his earlobe and turned to look out the window, her small face pouting.
Barbara was right!
Elliot was too cunning. If she could not tame him, she would end up being led by the nose. Some mischievous thoughts began to sprout in her mind. She needed to think carefully and plan a big surprise for him once he fully recovered from his illness.
Time to let off some steam!
Sheena had completely moved into Elliot’s mansion. Along with Ford, Elliot brought over her other bodyguards from the Lawson family.
The days passed peacefully.
During the day, Sheena took care of Elliot’s medication as usual, handled Angle Group matters remotely, and gave instructions to Wendy.
Elliot, on the other hand, delegated most of the Jenkins Group’s work to Lionel apart from the monthly board meetings. He only needed to attend those in
person.
In the living room, Sheena lounged on the sofa, scrolling through short videos on
her phone.
Elliot, dressed in a suit and tie, exuded an air of elegance and seriousness as he attended a conference online. On the screen, Lionel was seen leading the board of directors in a meeting.
Mr. Saliburn, in his forties, stood up and faced the large screen displaying Elliot in the meeting room.
“Mr. Jenkins, regarding your decision to invest in the 11–billion–dollar project for Angle Group, when do you plan to honor it?”
Elliot glanced at the petite beauty sitting beside him, just out of the camera’s view.
Sheena continued to focus on her phone screen, but her eyebrows lightly furrowed.
The two had discussed this matter a few days ago, and Elliot understood her implications.
“Let’s put this matter on hold for now. I’ll discuss it with Ms. Lawson and notify you afterward. Lionel, go ahead and present the performance data for this month.
“Of course, Mr. Jenkins.”
Lionel opened the files and began the serious report.
Meanwhile, Sheena, nestled on the sofa,
making her mouth water. She reached out to grab some fruit from the coffee table but realized the fruit plate was on the left side of Elliot’s laptop.

If she moved to take it, she would be on camera. Hence, she softly said, “Eli, I want some oranges.”
Her sweet voice, though quiet, echoed through the vast conference room, to the loudspeaker for Elliot’s video call.

Every shareholder in the room heard her.
Many widened their eyes.
What a sweet voice!
Elliot must be feeling great having his lady by his side during the meeting!
However, that was not the most outrageous part.

Elliot, unfazed, took an orange from the fruit plate. In front of the camera, he patiently peeled the

which he promptly discarded in the trash by his feet.
This sequence of events left everyone in the boardroom utterly stunned.
