Chapter 552
Lionel was in a complete mess, throwing himself at Elliot’s feet, hugging his sturdy thighs, and wailing at the top of his lungs:
“Mr. Jenkins, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault. Can’t you just give me a double beating? I don’t want to go to Thiran to mine coal! I’d rather die than leave you! Considering the many years of hard work and loyalty I’ve dedicated to you, please give me another chance to make amends!”
At the end of his plea, he made sure to add a little spit near his eyes, looking sorrowful as his how seemed genuinely heartfelt.
Elliot thought, ‘Here we go again…‘
He was thoroughly disgusted by this performance and gave Lionel a gentle kick.
“I’m not leaving! I’d rather die than go to Thiran, so you might as well kill me! Dying at your hands would be my blessing!”
Lionel clung to Elliot’s legs, refusing to let go, swaying back and forth with each kick.
Elliot was annoyed, yet he could not help but laugh at Lionel’s shameless antics.
In an angry tone, he said, “If you don’t want to be sent to Thiran, then get lost. Don’t bother me these next few days! Get the hell out of here right now!”
“Alright! I’ll go now!” Lionel left the room.
Elliot sighed, watching Lionel leave. Nonetheless, the fire in his heart had eased a bit thanks to Lionel’s shameless performance.
However, as soon as he redirected his attention to the screen, something grabbed his calf before his hands could start typing.
Elliot glanced down, furrowing his brow. “Why are you back so soon?”
Lionel spoke with a straight face, “Mr. Jenkins, just now, it was Lionel, the captain of the National Investigation Bureau’s Fourth Team. Now, the one who has returned is Lionel, commanded by Ms. Sheena to supervise your medication. I’m under Ms. Sheena’s command now…”
“Lionel!” Elliot was furious, clenching his teeth.
He picked up the coffee cup on the desk, ready to throw it at Lionel.
Lionel simply shielded his head, not daring to dodge. “Mr. Jenkins, go ahead and vent! I have a sturdy body, like a sandbag, ready to be punched! But I won’t leave. Otherwise, I won’t be able to report to Ms. Sheena, and I’m sure you don’t want her to find out about you settling scores with me, right?”
After all, Sheena gave him a get–out–of–jail–free card that day!
“Wow! With someone backing you up, you dare to threaten me now?”

Elijah’s chilling aura filled the room.
Lionel responded, “No way! But… if I leave, and Ms. Sheena finds out, she’ll surely think you never admitted fault and intentionally shifted blame onto me. She’s bound to be mad at you!”
“It’s all for your own good! My loyalty to you is unwavering!” Lionel crawled up from the floor, squatting by Elliot’s feet, earnestly massaging his legs.
Elliot was in disbelief. “How are you becoming so shameless? Who did you learn from?”
“Of course, I learned from you-” Lionel quickly changed his choice of words. “Youtube! They have everything there. Besides, I’ve always been shameless!”
Elliot was both angry and amused, shaking his head in resignation, choosing to ignore him and redirecting his thoughts to official matters.
In the end, Lionel did not leave. He remained kneeling on one knee by Elliot’s feet, diligently massaging his legs.
After a whole morning of trying to please him, Elliot finally calmed down.
Days passed peacefully with playful banter and antics.
A few days later, it was Katie’s birthday banquet.
Sheena was helping Elliot with his tie, her brows furrowing. “The weather is getting colder, and I don’t really want you to attend the Upton family event.‘

Elliot caught her fingertips. “It’s precisely because it’s not a simple event that I must attend.”
If Sheena wanted to murder someone, he would hand her the knife.
If Sheena wanted to cause trouble, he would thoroughly stir up trouble for the Upton family!
