Just as they had just located Roger and brought him back to Svelton, Grant suddenly chose to come forward with the truth.
Sheena and Elliot both wore serious expressions and stared at Grant in silence.
Grant approached Sheena, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Mrs. Jenkins, a couple of days ago, when you came to the mansion, you had a serious conversation with me. I said I needed to think about it. Well, I've thought about it now. Can you believe me?"
Sheena met his eager eyes and nodded. "I believe you. You've been with Grandpa for most of your life, and whatever decisions you make, they're always for his good."
Relieved by her response, Grant took a deep breath.
Just before Roger was brought back to the National Investigation Bureau, Grant recounted everything he knew.
"On the day of the accident, Mr. Peter and Mr. Roger were indeed at the scene. Not only that, but they were also in the car that caused the accident…"
On the day of the accident, Peter and Roger went to a social event together and had quite a few drinks.
Roger intended to call for a designated driver to take them home, but Peter insisted on driving, claiming he was fine.
Seeing that Peter did not seem too drunk, Roger agreed.
Little did they know that Peter would take a longer route while driving, speeding and losing control of the car.
At a crossroads, they collided with Elliot's parents' car, hitting its weakest side where Elliot's mother was sitting.
She died instantly, and the impact caused a fuel leak, leading to an explosion.
Elliot's father suffered severe burns and died on the way to the hospital.
When Santiago arrived with others, they found Roger in the driver's seat, still intoxicated.
Both Peter and Roger sustained minor injuries.
Santiago was devastated and brought his two sobered-up sons to the altar room for interrogation, even resorting to family discipline.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
