Ford nodded. “Okay.”
Sheena looked at the phone number Nathaniel had written and added, “Contact Dark Bell and have them investigate this number.”
‘Yes, miss.‘
Meanwhile, at Santiago’s mansion…..
“Grandpa, you wanted to see me?” Elliot stepped into the hall and bowed respectfully at Santiago.
At first glance, Santiago failed to recognize Elliot as he was wearing a wool coat.
“You’ve changed a lot now that someone’s looking after you. Look at that outfit. It shows so much more character than before,” Santiago commented as he curiously inspected him from top to bottom, smiling with satisfaction.
Elliot did not respond, just standing there with a calm expression.
“Take a seat.”
Running his wrinkled hand over the cane’s head, Santiago hesitated before saying, “Actually, I called you here today because someone wants to meet you. They wanted to apologize in person, and I had to
be the mediator.”
Just as Elliot settled into the adjacent sofa, he frowned at those words.
Clearing his throat, Santiago continued, “Come in,”
Ron entered, and Colin followed closely behind with his head lowered. The injuries he sustained a few days ago had mostly healed up.
Elliot did not look at them, still appearing indifferent. Then, he elegantly poured himself a cup of tea
and calmly took a sip.
After Ron came in, he sat on the sofa opposite Elliot, smiled, and then greeted Santiago, trying to get on his good side.
Later, he turned to Elliot and asked, “How have you been these past few days?”
Elliot ignored him, not bothering with the pleasantries.
Santiago tapped his cane lightly and reminded Elliot, “Eli, is this the proper attitude you show your elders? Hurry up and show some respect.”
‘Respect for elders who don’t deserve it? Elders who raise such beasts for children? Do they deserve it? I know well who deserves respect and who doesn’t.”
Colin stood beside Ron, and upon hearing Elliot insult his father, his temper flared, shouting, “Elliot!

“It’s fine.”
Ron smiled warmly, seemingly unaffected. He lowered his posture, speaking softly to Elliot, “Elliot, about what happened… Colin did act inappropriately, and I gave him a good beating afterward. I brought him here to apologize to you in person. If you still feel unsatisfied, feel free to whip him as you see fit! I have no objections whatsoever!”
As he reached the end of his statement, he exchanged glances with Colin.
Colin, suppressing his humiliation, circled the coffee table and approached Elliot. Then, he bent down, maintaining a deep bow.
“Mr. Jenkins, I apologize for what happened that day. I was drugged and was not in my right mind when I called out Sheena’s name. I didn’t intend to tarnish her reputation, and I genuinely respect the
relationship between you and her.”
Elliot scoffed when he heard Colin’s words. He set down his teacup, giving him a cold, disdainful look.
“Do you
take me for a fool? Both you and I know that this dramatic apology is unnecessary. It’s a
waste of time.”
He stood up, addressing Santiago, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back. There’s an online meeting later.”
Santiago noticed his determination and sighed.
The Upton family had already pleaded before Santiago, yet Eliot was still so stubborn.
Though a bit annoyed, Santiago remained composed.
“Alright, go ahead. The Jenkins family is under your control now. Do as you see fit.
