Chapter 646
Corey stood proudly, expressionless and silent.
Peter continued, “If Elliot’s condition isn’t too severe, I’d appreciate it if you could make way. We have a family gathering at noon, and as the current head of the Jenkins family, Elliot must attend.”
After speaking, Peter signaled to his accompanying bodyguards.
They moved swiftly, but E&S Haven’s bodyguards blocked them firmly
Two particularly audacious ones who attempted to force their way were promptly subdued with
electric batons.
With hands casually tucked in his suit pockets, Corey calmly questioned, “Mr. Peter, what if I insist on not letting them in?”
Peter’s expression darkened, yet before he could respond, Stanley jumped in, demanding, “Corey, this is the Jenkins estate! You’re an outsider; what gives you the right to act so arrogantly on the Jenkins estate?”
“Indeed, I am an outsider,” Corey sneered. “But considering Elliot is engaged to Nana, and I, as his future brother–in–law, am here to express my concern for his well–being. It’s disappointing that his family only cares if he’s too ill to move.”
Peter’s face stiffened. He was about to offer an explanation, but Corey interrupted, “You know well if Elliot wants to meet you. Anyway, goodbye, and I won’t see you off.”
“Corey, this…” Peter began.
Corey did not want to listen, his face clearly expressing no room for negotiation. When he was serious, no one would dare to defy him.
Peter did not want to escalate tensions with the Lawson family and had to relent, leaving with his group of people, feeling somewhat disgruntled.
Just as Corey finally had some peace, Logan arrived, presenting his identification to Corey.
“Mr. Corey, I’m directly under Mr. Jenkins, the captain of the National Investigation Bureau’s seventh team. I’ve been on missions with Mr. Jenkins for nearly a decade. Please trust me and let me
in.”
Corey scrutinized his credentials, cautiously asking, “Why are you here?”
“The charges against Colin are finalized, and I’ve come to report to Mr. Jenkins. Also, I’d like to ask if we need to arrange ‘special treatment‘ for Colin.”
“Understood. Since the charges are settled, there’s no need for a report. I’ll pass the message along. As for special treatment…”
Corey pondered for a moment. Recalling the events during Katie’s birthday celebration organized by

Logan, even though he was not in Svelton at the time, he had heard about what happened that day.
“I’ll take charge. Give him the special treatment and let him experience some ‘love‘ in prison.”
“Yes…”
Unable to see Elliot, Logan remained anxious and insisted, “Mr. Corey, let me meet Mr. Jenkins. Is he not in good health lately? I can stay and take care of him.”
Corey remained unmoved. “He doesn’t lack caretakers. Since you’re his direct subordinate, you should know better than to ask and talk too much!”
Corey only trusted his own people; Elliot’s subordinates were not to be trusted.
As Corey walked into the mansion, Logan sighed silently, glancing worriedly at the balcony of the master bedroom on the third floor.
Several hours later.
In Laubabwe, Sheena was picked up by Jamie to go to the royal palace after she was done getting ready.
Lionel accompanied her.
After over half an hour, Sheena finally laid eyes on the magnificent castle, the grand royal palace.
The Bentley circled around the defensive walls and eventually stopped at the eastern gate.
From a distance, Sheena could already see Nathaniel, who was exceptionally dressed today, wearing an elegant deep blue gentleman’s suit. With those exquisite blue eyes, he did appear somewhat like a noble exotic prince, captivating anyone who set eyes on him.
Unfortunately, Sheena had no time to appreciate even the most handsome face.
Jamie got out of the car first and opened the door for her.
Nathaniel immediately walked over.
Upon seeing her casually dressed in a coat, his smile gradually faded. “This is your first time meeting my mom, and you chose to wear this?”
