Elliot gently stroked Asher's little head.
He said in a soft, serious tone, "For now, let's keep Nana's disappearance quiet to avoid causing panic in Svelton. I've already arranged for Lance to conduct a thorough investigation. We're also recovering data from the two phones we found, and we'll have results by tomorrow morning."
Despite the turmoil in his heart, he had meticulously planned everything.
Nathaniel listened silently, contemplating for a long moment before asking, "So, you're planning to wait until tomorrow morning? Until we get the results?"
Elliot remained silent, which clearly indicated his agreement.
The first half of the night had been chaotic, and investigations took time.
Moreover, the enemies were cunning and well-acquainted with Svelton, hiding without leaving any traces.
Hence, patience was the only option.
Seeing his silence, Nathaniel's expression grew even darker.
He crumpled the report in his hand, feeling immense restraint and pressure.
The thought of Sheena being missing and possibly harmed made it impossible for him to stay calm.
Elliot might have had the patience to wait, but he did not.
Nathaniel abruptly stood up, set down the report, and turned to leave.
Puzzled, Lionel called after him, "Nathaniel, it's the middle of the night. There's not much we can do right now. What are you planning to do?"
Nathaniel stopped but did not turn around.
Instead, he ordered, "One more person, one more way. If Elliot is investigating openly, I'll go underground."
With a resolute thud, he closed the office door behind him.
The room fell into an immediate, heavy silence.
Elliot focused on the children sleeping in his arms, his dark eyes deep and unreadable.
Although he did not show his pain and guilt in front of Lionel, Lionel had been with him for over a decade and knew his temperament too well.

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....
