Chapter 976
Those little rascals!
Seeing the smiling faces of their two babies, Sheena’s heart almost melted.
With a mischievous grin, she gave Elliot a few more slaps on the hand.
Asher and Adora laughed even more.
Elliot glanced at Sheena with an accusing look. “Nana, even the babies are on your side. They actually enjoy seeing you bully me!”
Sheena chuckled as she lifted his hand, its broad palm now marked with faint red
imprints. Then, she leaned and planted a soft kiss on it.
Later, she patiently addressed the two babies, “Your daddy made a mistake, so he got a spanking. Asher and Adora, from now on, you two have to help me supervise him and assist in disciplining him.”
Elliot was at a loss for words, feeling frustrated.
Noticing his bitter expression, Sheena almost burst into laughter.
“There, there. I was just joking. Eli, you’re such a good husband. How could I ever bring myself to hit you?”
Elliot knew she was lying. After all, she would hit him hard each time she got angry.
Nonetheless, he just lowered his head and stayed silent.
They spent a long time in the nursery until the babies were sound asleep, then called
Freida in.
Hand in hand, Elliot and Sheena returned to their bedroom.
Sheena asked with a serious tone, “How’s the investigation going with Romello?”
“The potion Nathaniel stole has been identified. It’s a potent nerve–damaging drug. Romello used it to control Madam Nicholls and Phoebe and even attempted to drug me through Nathaniel. I’ve instructed Lionel to gather all the evidence as quickly as possible. If all goes well, we’ll have him arrested and interrogated tomorrow.”
Sheena nodded and commented, “These matters must be resolved sooner rather than later. People like Romello aren’t worthy of being in power in the Nicholls family. He’s

ruining his own family.”
“You’re right,” Elliot said softly, his voice filled with desire.

Sheena almost immediately sensed the threat. “Enough, let’s get some rest. We have a lot to deal with tomorrow, and we’re not doing anything tonight.”
Elliot tossed restlessly on the pillow, feeling utterly down.
Suppressing a chuckle, Sheena reached out to turn off the light.
The room was engulfed in darkness, but the cheeky Elliot refused to give in to sleep.
His desire was raging, and all he wanted was to have a taste of Sheena.
Until…
“Ouch! Easy, honey! You’re hurting me.”
Sheena pinched his buttocks, giving them a firm twist.
He buried his head in Sheena’s neck, whimpering softly in pain.
“Are you going to sleep properly?”
“Yes…”
The next morning, at the National Investigation Bureau, Elliot was changing into his uniform when Lionel knocked on the door.
“Elliot, the evidence is ready. Logan and Lance are positioned around the Nicholls residence, awaiting your command.”
Elliot quickly fastened the last button of his uniform collar and turned around.
“Good. Let’s head to the Nicholls residence and make the arrest.
Leaving the office, he descended the stairs without looking aside, heading to the open- air garage to get his car.
Jacob came running toward him, nearly colliding with him.
“Sorry, sorry! Mr. Jenkins, my apologies for my recklessness.”
Elliot’s expression remained serious.
“Why the rush? Where’s your discipline? You’re acting so carelessly.”

Jacob’s expression was grim, bowing apologetically.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jenkins. I just received some bad news and lost focus for a moment.”
Elliot turned to Lionel behind him, exchanging a glance.
“What happened?”
“Mr. Romello’s mother passed away suddenly last night. The Nicholls family is in chaos,
and Mr. Romello suspects… she was deliberately murdered!”
