Chapter 731
Elliot caught his breath and raised the final glass of liquor.
He turned to Howard and said, “Mr. Howard, you took care of me before, yet I hit you. This drink is my way of apologizing.”
Howard nodded, his expression calm and serene, as if saying, ‘I’m a forgiving person and won’t hold it against you.‘
Without hesitation, Elliot finished the last drink.
Surprisingly, it tasted sweet, like a mild fruit wine, very pleasant.
Slightly astonished, Elliot glanced at Howard, seemingly understanding the intentions of the three
brothers.
After the pain, struggles, and uncertainties, once past the toughest challenges, life became sweet and
beautiful.
Beyond the apparent meaning, there was also a warning. If Elliot mistreated Sheena in the future, the three brothers would not mind making him experience pain again. In other words, he had to cherish their beloved sister to ensure a peaceful life.
Quickly grasping this, Elliot looked at the three men across from him with a sense of gratitude.
“I know how much you cherish Nana, and I promise I won’t disappoint you. Nana will be the only love of my life!”
Elliot’s gaze was sincere and determined.
Corey reluctantly nodded in approval, scoffing. “Remember the promise you made to me. If you betray it and hurt Nana again, I’ll take your life!”
His reply essentially meant Elliot had passed his test and gained his approval.
Sheena breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Noah, who had been silent throughout.
“Noah, don’t you have anything to say?” Sheena prompted, signaling desperately with her eyes.
Corey had accepted him. It was time for Noah to give his approval too.
Noah ignored her pleadings, his expression cold and unyielding.
He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and calmly stated, “Since the drinks are finished, if you may.”
Elliot followed him upstairs without hesitation, with Corey and Howard trailing behind.
Sheena was taken aback by Noah’s cruelty.
It turned out that this was the real trial for Elliot!
Did he really have to pass such a challenging test?

Sheena quickly stood up, ready to follow them, but Barbara held her back.
“Nana, calm down. Just sit here with me for a while. Let the men handle their business,” Barbara advised in a soothing tone.
Sheena anxiously replied, “What if they plan to gang up on him? That’s not okay! They’re all skilled fighters, and they might go too hard on Ell. What if something bad happens? No, I can’t just sit here! I have to check on them!”
“Nana, even if they do give him a beating, it won’t be anything serious. We can’t risk leaving the twins ‘dad disabled, right? Just sit tight. Everything will be fine,” Barbara reassured, speaking genuinely.
Though the words were comforting, Sheena could not shake off her worries. If her brothers really went after Elliot, it would hurt her deeply. After all, he had been so well–behaved lately that even she could not bring herself to scold him.
How could her brothers possibly lay a hand on him?
Sweating with concern, Sheena anxiously waited.
Meanwhile, Elliot was led to Noah’s childhood bedroom in the mansion.
The room had undergone a transformation, now filled with professional medical equipment.
On the table, an array of chilling surgical tools lay neatly on a tray, while the walls were adorned with diagrams illustrating various human organs.
