Chapter 657
The girl, feeling upset, lowered her head, appearing unsure how to explain.
Elliot spoke in a stern tone, “Let it go. Let’s go back.”
Scolded by Elliot, the girl’s boyfriend became unhappy and retorted, “Do you think you’re all that just because you’re rich? It wasn’t intentional, so why were you being so aggressive?”
As he finished speaking, he swiftly threw a snowball toward Elliot when Noah and Howard were not paying attention.
The snowball burst near Elliot’s heels, leaving snowflakes on his elegant black shoes.
Elliot showed no reaction, guided by Howard, his gaze straight ahead, without looking to the side throughout the incident.
However, Howard was genuinely annoyed. After entrusting Elliot to Noah, he instructed the security. at the entrance to apprehend the couple, and they were swiftly caught.
Howard glared at the two, instructing, “Take them to the station, charge them with intentional harm and attempted assault!”
“Yes, Mr. Howard!”
With the arrangements made, Howard turned and walked away, quickly boarding Elliot’s car, and racing back to E&S Haven in the heavy snow.
However, shortly after the couple was taken to the station, they were picked up by the National Investigation Bureau.
The man who threw the snowball at Elliot stood respectfully in Romello’s office.
“Mr. Romello, it seems like Mr. Jenkins is blind.”
Romello instantly put down his legs, sitting up seriously.
“Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
“I’m sure. He needed assistance throughout. Even though he wore sunglasses, a normal person would have glanced down when the snowball was thrown at them, but he had no reaction.”
Romello leaned on the table, supporting his chin with his fist, pleasantly surprised. “How can he continue to lead the National Investigation Bureau if he’s blind? He should step down from his position.”
Finding it amusing, he added, “Good news should not be kept to ourselves. Tell Peter. As for what he does next, it’s not my concern.”
Back at E&S Haven, Noah and Howard initially planned to retire to their rooms but were summoned

by Elliot into his bedroom.
Elliot spoke seriously, “Tonight’s incident at the lab entrance was either arranged by Peter or Romello, and they probably found out about my eye condition.”
Noah and Howard did not refute this; they were both smart individuals who, upon returning, could easily piece together the situation.
Elliot continued, “Regardless of who among them knows this news, they’ll be eager to pull me down. Tomorrow, the surgery might not proceed smoothly.”
Noah and Howard, with serious expressions, exchanged a glance before turning their gaze to Elliot.
Howard asked, “Since you’ve brought this up, do you have a plan already?”
Elliot lowered his gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
While it was late at night in Froania, it was broad daylight in Laubabwe, nearing noon.
Sheena sat by the bedroom window, idly gazing at the pleasant scenery outside.
Calculating the time difference, she wondered if Elliot was asleep and if he dreamed of her.
The door was knocked, and Lionel entered with lunch. “Miss, it’s time for lunch.”
Due to the overhead listening device, Lionel praised Nathaniel with some flattering words.
“Mr. Lance mentioned that you didn’t like the food here, and your appetite hasn’t been good. So, he specially ordered dishes from Froania’s style restaurant in Laubabwe.”
Hearing it was Froania’s flavor, Sheena got up and walked to the table to check.
Barbecue ribs, steak and gravy, casserole…
The presentation of the dishes was good, but Sheena, smelling the greasy aroma, inexplicably found it nauseating.
She endured until her face turned pale but ultimately could not hold back, rushing to the bathroom.
