Chapter 583
Elliot was very pleased with the comment. “Well said. I’ll give you a raise when we get back.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jenkins! You and Ms. Sheena are truly made for each other…‘
Colin watched as the two walked away, his eyes turning red, frustration building up as he punched the ground.
Upon returning to E&S Haven, Elliot immediately became serious, instructing Lionel, “Keep the pressure on the Upton family. Within three days, I want you to make sure of their bankruptcy and liquidation. Seize all their properties and make no exceptions. I want the Upton family to never rise again!”
“Understood.”
He continued, “Katie has done a lot of wicked things before, and the Upton family covered for her each time. Now, with a hefty reward on the dark web, I want to dig up evidence against her and help Nana send Katie to prison!”
Now that the Upton family was in a desperate state, many people were eager to kick them while they were down. The years of accumulated grudges would undoubtedly fuel many to take advantage of this golden opportunity.
“Mr. Jenkins, rest assured. All will be handled appropriately!”
After taking care of that, Elliot glanced at the sky outside.
Winter had officially arrived, and coupled with the constant gloomy rain, the sky became dark unusually early.
At this hour, it was already pitch–black outside.
Elliot lowered his gaze, a hint of melancholy settling in.
Lately, whenever Sheena went out, she would be gone the entire day without a single phone call.
Checking the time, it was already past seven.
Another day of Sheena returning late.
Elliot slouched on the couch, feeling drained, as if a part of him was missing.
Lionel, observing his lifeless demeanor, sighed. “Mr. Jenkins, are you missing Ms. Sheena again?”
Ignoring him, Elliot gazed out at the peacefully quiet garden path through the window.
Sheena’s car was parked at the corner, about two hundred meters from the entrance to the Jenkins estate. Her face was stern as she sat quietly in the car, listening to Ford’s report.
“Sorry, miss. Once he realized our people were tailing him, he shook them off after a few detours. We couldn’t keep up.”
Sheena’s expression darkened even further.
Ford’s head hung even lower, clearly frustrated. “I’m really sorry…”
“Forget it. He’s extremely cunning and trained in the elite forces. It’s too easy for him to shake you off,” Sheena replied, glancing at the scrap of paper with the unfamiliar number Nathaniel had left.
She silently repeated the number in her mind. “How did the investigation go with this number?”
“The serial number does belong to Froania. Although it’s not registered under a real name, our team traced the number’s current location. It’s in Laubabwe.”
Laubabwe?
Sheena squinted, pondering carefully.
She remembered Nathaniel’s mother being from Laubabwe, but in all her time with him, she had never heard him mention his mother or utter a single word about Laubabwe.
Could he… have some secret connections in Laubabwe?
Was he hiding something?
“Look into Nathaniel’s mother. I want detailed information. Also, check the flights from Laubabwe to Froania in the last six months. See if there are any suspicious arrivals. Provide me with a list later.”
Ford hesitated. “Miss, the flight data for six months is extensive, and there are many people. It’ll be time–consuming. Even if Mr. Corey personally looks into the data, it won’t be easy to find.”
“It’s okay. Take your time. I’m not in a rush for this particular task.”
Suddenly, her phone rang, and she found it was Elliot calling.
Sheena did not realize it was already past 8 p.m., and she guessed that Elliot had probably been waiting anxiously.
Thinking of him, a hint of sweetness filled Sheena’s heart. She silenced the phone, not answering, and said to Paul in the driver’s seat, “Turn around, head to Mia’s Eatery nearby, then back to the
Jenkins estate.”
In the living room, Elliot was waiting anxiously when he finally heard the sound of the door being
unlocked.
He rushed to the door.
As soon as he saw Sheena, he pounced on her, wrapping his arms around her waist so tightly that his
arms trembled.
