Grant was initially taken aback, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
However, he quickly regained his composure and responded, "Mr. Jenkins, it was a car accident, nothing more. Do you really think Old Man Jenkins, who once dominated both the military and business sectors, would deceive you?"
Elliot lowered his gaze and remained silent. Nonetheless, his indifferent and icy demeanor clearly expressed skepticism about the situation.
"Mr. Jenkins…"
"Uncle Grant, please relay my message word for word to Grandpa. He knows what answers I'm seeking."
"Mr. Jenkins…" Grant called out once more.
Elliot returned to his desk and calmly began attending to his work, ignoring Grant.
Feeling dismissed, Grant sighed and replied, "I'll convey your message to Old Man Jenkins, but I might come again later today."
Elliot frowned at the keywords in Grant's statement, staring at Grant as he left the room.
Peter was forced to confess before 10 p.m., or Stanley would be sent back to the previous holding cell.
It seemed Santiago had tasked Grant with handling the matter by the end of the day.
Moreover, Santiago appeared aware of Elliot's every move at the National Investigation Bureau.
Was Santiago's former trusted subordinates monitoring him?
Elliot's mind swirled with possibilities as he thought of various elements, leaving him restless and troubled.
The short ring of his phone interrupted his thoughts, signaling a WhatsApp message.
He glanced at the message and saw it was from [Honey Baby].
Elliot immediately read the message.
[Sheena: How's everything at the office? Want to go out for dinner tonight?]
Elliot stared at the message for a while, thinking about his plan for the night.
Knowing Peter's temperament, he would not easily compromise until the very last moment.
Hence, Elliot could only painfully reject his beloved wife.
[Elliot: Not today. I'll be working late tonight, but I'll make it up to you next time.]

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