Chapter 614
Elliot turned his attention back to Sheila. “I’ll investigate last night’s incident. If you’re innocent, I’ll restore your endorsement and the missed opportunities.”
“Merely returning them? After carrying such a big blame, shouldn’t you offer some compensation?”
Elliot’s dark eyes flickered with a touch of disgust, his tone growing stern. “Being too greedy isn’t a good thing. Mr. Holst, escort Ms. Sheila out.”
“Yes, Mr. Jenkins.”
As the two left, Lionel fell to his knees right when the door closed.
“Mr. Jenkins, I’m innocent! I haven’t even had a chance to report the bonus to the finance department yet. I’m just an accomplice!”
Elliot’s cold expression remained unchanged. “Who is the mastermind?”
“It’s…”
Lionel lowered his head.
Sheena had mentioned that he could pin everything on her if things went wrong. After all, Elliot did not dare to harm Sheena, but he could make Lionel pay for it!
He lifted his head and replied resolutely, “It’s Ms. Sheena! The lipstick marks on you were left by her, and she also wrote the words on your chest. I just played a part in her little drama!”
Elliot stared at him in disbelief, an ominous chill filling the air.
“Explain that night’s events clearly and thoroughly. If you miss a single word, I’ll take you to the interrogation room and personally make you spill.”
The sharpness in his eyes made Lionel tremble with fear.
“No, Mr. Jenkins, I wouldn’t dare! I’ll talk! I’ll confess everything!”
Meanwhile, Sheena walked through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate, heading toward the garage. While on the way, she unexpectedly sneezed twice.
“Who’s been thinking of me?”
Ford, serving as her driver today, looked at her with concern. “The temperature has been dropping every day recently, miss. You’re not catching a cold, are you?”
Sheena waved her hand dismissively. “No, I’m fine. But…”
“But what?” Ford inquired.
She strolled, attentively feeling her back. “I’ve been feeling chills running down my spine. This

doesn’t seem like a good sign! Looks like something big is going to happen today!”
Ford was speechless.
When did Sheena become so superstitious?

“Miss, please don’t make jokes like that. You must have caught a cold. How about taking the day off and resting at home?”
Sheena shook her head, declining the suggestion.
Elliot’s car pulled up as they approached the garage door, stopping right in front of them. With a stern expression and suppressed anger, he stepped out of the car.
Sheena, puzzled, looked at him. “Eli, didn’t you go to work? Why are you back?”
Elliot remained silent, walking up to her, bending down to lift her off her feet, and throwing her over his shoulder.
Then, he headed back in the direction of E&S Haven.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Elliot’s tone was icy as he spoke, “Going home. I have something to ask you.”
“But… I need to go to Angle Group. There’s important work today!”
Elliot remained unbothered, continuing to walk. “Take a day off. I’ll have Lionel stand in for you.”
“Lionel? He doesn’t understand the entertainment industry. Can he handle it?”
Elliot narrowed his cold eyes. “He can handle it. Instead of worrying about others, you might want to worry about yourself!”
She had so much fun pranking him, causing him to feel guilt and discomfort for quite a while. Well, today, he would set things right!
