Chapter 594
Elliot did not even look at the screen, simply replying, “The Upton family brought it upon themselves.
Sheena nodded, agreeing, “Mmhm. They reaped what they sowed.
The atmosphere between them remained peaceful as they continued their meal.
Midway through, Elliot’s phone pinged with a message from Lionel. He glanced at it and then at Sheena, who was absorbed in checking the trending topics.
“Nana, besides their company’s bankruptcy, the bank will probably go to the Upton mansion today to assess the property rights. Do you want to go over and see the commotion?”
Sheena raised an eyebrow, looking at him oddly. “Do I look like someone who’d kick someone when they’re down?”
He smirked. Although he did not confirm or deny it, his expression conveyed the obvious.
Opening his phone, Elliot pushed it toward Sheena.
Earlier, he had instructed Lionel to purchase information on Katie from the black market, and Lionel had compiled all the evidence, sending an electronic copy to Elliot’s phone.
“Take a look at this. Don’t you want to send her to jail personally?”
Sheena looked at the evidence on his phone and chuckled. “I may not be one to kick someone when they’re down, but a few extra stabs? That I can manage! I’ll go check out the scene later!”
She had some matters to attend to before sending Katie to prison.
After finishing their meal, Sheena quickly tidied up and left.
Elliot stood in the garden, watching her departure. For the first time, he did not insist on accompanying her.
Once Sheena was gone, his indulgent smile turned instantly cold.
Lionel entered through a small alley to avoid bumping into Sheena.
“Mr. Jenkins, we caught Nathaniel late last night. He’s currently located in the suburbs. Do you want to go see him?”
Elliot nodded. “I’ll be ready to leave in half an hour.”
After half an hour, Lionel drove them to the suburban location.
Nathaniel was held in a secluded interrogation room in a small cottage.
When Elliot arrived, Nathaniel was bound to a cross–shaped post, unconscious.
Lionel threw a bowl of cold water at him, and as he abruptly woke up, he saw Elliot sitting in the

“Wow! What an honor to be caught by Mr. Jenkins of the National Investigation Bureau twice. Truly a privilege,” Nathaniel remarked with a hint of sarcasm.
Elliot, expressionless and uninterested in Nathaniel’s banter, cut to the chase.
“Do you know where the antidote to the virus in my body is?”
Nathaniel was taken aback.
“It seems Nana has already informed you,” he admitted without intending to conceal the fact. “Yes, I know. I’ve known from the very beginning.”
Elliot pressed on, “So, back at Eros Bar, you knew my identity early on and were intentionally targeting me?”
Nathaniel chuckled. “Not really. Who would have thought you’d stoop so low as to becoming an ordinary CEO in a small place like Farlem? When it comes to hiding, you’re indeed the best.”
Elliot, unfazed and still clear–minded, continued, “So it was all about targeting Nana. You planned to accept the cooperation with Barrett and Keanu for benefits while pretending to have the antidote to gain Nana’s gratitude.”
Nathaniel laughed even louder, taunting, “Mr. Jenkins, are you a mind–reader? You’re surprisingly accurate in analyzing my thoughts at that time.”
As he finished speaking, Elliot’s brows suddenly furrowed, and a cold, ominous aura enveloped him.
Lionel, understanding the cue, immediately fetched a stick and delivered two heavy blows to
Nathaniel’s abdomen.
Nathaniel gritted his teeth, emitting a muffled groan, blood soon trickling down from the corner of
his mouth.
The pain was evident in his blue eyes.

Elliot poured himself a cup of tea, savoring it leisurely as he admired Nathaniel’s expression. He added, “You thought your plan was foolproof, but who would’ve guessed I’d appear? So, you to go all out and kill me.”
“If you’ve already figured it out, why bother asking me?”
Elliot poured a second cup of tea. “What deal did you make with Nana?”
