Chapter 602
Being able to knock out the guards of the special interrogation room was not something an ordinary person could achieve unless they were someone within the organization.
“What has Romello been up to lately?”
Lionel checked the attendance records and reported, “Mr. Romello has been occupied with Katie’s case lately. He can’t spare any time.”
Elliot scoffed. “What’s there to investigate in Katie’s case? Does it require him to be busy for so many days?”
“Mr. Jenkins, what are you implying?”
Elliot’s tone remained cold, saying, “Nothing much. They’re brothers, after all. Since he’s released, let him be. Being able to capture him and beat him up to vent my anger was enough.”
Nathaniel still had the secret to the S404’s antidote. Hence, Elliot would not kill him for now.
and that was why he was unwilling to compromise.
Of course, Nathaniel was well aware of this too,
aware of this too, and that was v
“Yes, Mr. Jenkins.”
Not leaving immediately, Lionel hesitated before asking, “Mr. Jenkins, what are your plans regarding Ms. Sheena? When do you intend to make amends?”
Elliot showed no expression and remained silent.
Lionel, gathering courage, continued, “If you find a way out now, while Ms. Sheena isn’t angry, reconcile with her, you can continue your sweet relationship.
“But if you wait for a couple more days and she gets upset, then it’ll all be your fault…”
and
Elliot frowned, an icy aura enveloping him. Without a word, he forcefully knocked the coffee cup off his desk, creating a loud crash.
Lionel’s face turned pale, and he quickly stepped back to avoid being splashed by the coffee.
“I’ve not even punished you for not following my orders the other day!”
Lionel pleaded, “It’s a misunderstanding! Even you listen to Ms. Sheena. How could I dare not listen to her? But rest assured, my loyalty lies with you!”
Elliot, with a stern expression, questioned, “If the next time there’s a disagreement between me and her, whose side will you take?”
Lionel responded decisively, “I’ll stand with you!”
Secretly, Lionel was still inclined to take Sheena’s side!
“If I have a disagreement with her, whose side would you be on?”

Lionel quickly responded, “Yours, of course! Do I even need to think about it? I’ll definitely help you persuade Ms. Sheena!”
Elliot slammed the table and scolded, “Then hurry up and find her! Let her take the initiative to give in first this time!”
Lionel understood.
The day Elliot was forcefully injected with the drug, he had been so stubborn. However, if he eagerly ran over to please Sheena within a few days, it would be rather embarrassing!
“Mr. Jenkins, rest assured, I’ll cherish the opportunity!” Lionel grinned, showing his loyalty.
“Wait.” Elliot regained his composure and stopped him. “Clean up the mess on the floor before leaving.”
Though Lionel felt frustrated, he maintained a cheerful expression and said, “Sure thing, Mr. Jenkins! I’ll make sure it’s spotless in just two minutes!”
“Okay,” Elliot muttered, reminding him in a low voice, “Don’t mention that it was my idea. Do you understand?”
“Absolutely, I won’t tell her a thing!”
A few minutes later, Lionel tidied up the CEO’s office and quietly returned to his own workspace. Then, he immediately took out his phone and called Sheena.
As soon as she answered, he began a pitiful fake sob, “Ms. Sheena! Mr. Jenkins got really angry vented his frustration on me, threatening to cut my salary. Please help me out!”
Sheena was startled by the dramatic crying at the end of the call.
It was hard to imagine the imposing figure of Lionel, who stood over 180cm tall, making such exaggerated expressions.
and
She cleared her throat to ease the awkwardness, saying, “Okay. In a couple of days, I’ll make him give you a bonus. But did you convey what I told you to him?”
Lionel continued to wail, “I did! But he refused, and he said this time, you need to give in first. Why don’t we… compromise a little this time?”
