Since Corey was willing to help, Sheena softened her tone and reminded him, "I'm entrusting this matter to you, and you've agreed. If Anne and Paulo manage to escape, for whatever reason, I'll assume that you deliberately chose to stand by her side and did nothing."
Sheena understood Corey's capabilities.
Even though he had quit his job for over a year and had no involvement in any business matters, his network of connections remained strong.
If he truly wanted to accomplish this task, it would be done without an error.
Sheena made it clear upfront that she would not accept any excuses if Anne and Paulo were allowed to escape, holding Corey accountable for any failure in handling the situation.
Corey nodded in understanding. "I understand. I'll take care of it right away."
With only less than three hours left before the international flight at 11 p.m., Sheena simply needed to wait quietly for Corey to handle the situation.
She reached out her hand to Corey, indicating he should give her the DNA test report.
Corey handed it over and picked up his phone to deal with Anne's departure flight issue.
Afterward, Sheena left the master bedroom, giving Corey his personal space to handle the matter.
She went downstairs to discuss Anne's situation with Barbara and Hannah.
…
After dropping off Sheena, Elliot returned to the Jenkins estate.
It was already night, but Santiago was still unconscious and receiving IV fluids.
None of the Jenkins family members dared to leave the living room.
Elliot walked into the garden but did not enter the mansion's living room.
The lights inside were bright, and Elliot stood by the window, observing everyone's expression.
Grant and Lionel stood behind him.
Elliot asked, "The last person Grandpa saw before fainting was Stanley. I heard he even knelt by Grandpa's bed and cried. Why haven't I seen him? Where did he go?"

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
