Chapter 477
Relieved, Albert patted Elliot on the shoulder.
It was not that Albert was unkind to Sheena. However, having been scolded and managed by her mother for a lifetime, he wished Sheena could lead a different life. Sheena’s spirited and arrogant nature, reminiscent of her mother, concerned him.
Albert hoped Sheeha would be obedient and under someone’s guidance, avoiding risks and safely navigating through life.
After leaving the study, Elliot’s gaze deepened as he contemplated the conversation.
Sheena waited for him in the hallway, noticing his troubled expression.
“What did Dad say to you? Why do you look so uneasy?”
Elliot collected his thoughts and took her hand. “It’s nothing. He just told me to take good care of you in the future. Let’s go. It’s getting late.”
Hand in hand, they boarded the car back to the Jenkins family estate.
In the car, Sheena observed Elliot’s pale lips and overall unhealthy complexion, feeling a bit concerned. “Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your health? Should we go back and call a doctor?”
“No need, really.” Elliot lightly shook his head.
The brief episode of temporary blindness and deafness in the garden had not recurred. Perhaps he was just overthinking things.
Nonetheless, Albert had presented him with a challenge. Without winning over his future father–in- law, their marriage proved to be uncertain, even though they were already engaged.
The question was, how would he handle Sheena?
Seeing him lost in thought, Sheena did not press further.
The following morning, the monthly employee meeting at the Jenkins Group required Elliot’s personal attendance. Coincidentally, Sheena had a meeting at the Angle Group. They left together, with Elliot dropping Sheena off at the Angle Group before heading to the Jenkins Group.
Lionel awaited him at the entrance.
The lengthy meeting finally concluded after three hours.
In the CEO’s office, Lionel handed over the summary materials to Elliot.
Elliot took them but found himself staring at the documents absentmindedly.
“Mr. Jenkins?”

He snapped back to reality. “What?”
“Y–You’ve got the documents upside–down…”
Elliot did not seem embarrassed. He casually rotated the materials and flipped them over.
Lionel sensed that something was bothering him. Last time, with the deduction and the ban from entering the mansion, Lionel had grievances and was eager to find a chance to make amends.
“Mr. Jenkins, if there’s anything on your mind, you can share it with me. I’ve got plenty of ideas!”
Lionel offered.
After some consideration, Elliot finally asked, “In your opinion, who wears the pants in my marriage with Nana?”
Lionel was puzzled.
Was this a matter to contemplate?
“Certainly, it’s Ms. Sheena!”
“Why? And where did you get that idea?”
Lionel replied earnestly, “Mr. Jenkins, isn’t it obvious? Besides, every higher–up in the company now knows you fear your wife!”
Elliot’s eyelids twitched, obviously provoked by the comment.
He keenly noted that Lionel had said all the higher–ups in the company were aware.
“I’m just being considerate of Nana. How did it turn into me being afraid of her?”
