Keaton snorted, "Elliot, what good is all your power if you can't even protect your son? What will you do if one day he turns into a little corpse?"
He laughed wildly, seeming completely unhinged.
Elliot ignored Keaton's words and walked out of the interrogation room with a stern face.
Lance silently followed Elliot, keeping quiet.
Soon, he saw a figure approaching them from a distance.
Lance waved at the person eagerly, as if grasping at a lifeline.
"Lionel!"
Lionel saw Elliot's displeased expression and waved to Lance, signaling him to leave.
Later, the two brothers walked to the rooftop, where the cool night breeze helped calm Elliot's agitation.
Lionel sat directly on the ground and patted the spot next to him, saying, "Keaton still won't confess?"
He did not know what made Elliot so irritable.
"Do you have a cigarette?"
Lionel was shocked, his expression tense as he clutched his pockets tightly.
"Elliot, are you out of your mind? If Sheena finds out you're smoking again, not only will you be in big trouble, but I'll be dead too!"
In the Jenkins family, Sheena was the top authority.
After the last incident, Jacintha found out that not only did Elliot smoke four cigarettes in just a few hours, but he also caused the entire pack to be thrown away.
She made a big fuss about Elliot taking his cigarettes, giving Lionel an earful.
Elliot sat beside him, saying, "Same old rule: it's just a sniff. If anyone else finds out, Lionel, you'll be assigned a mission to the Yarramoor border."
Yarramoor!
That place was like hell on earth.
It was scorching hot all year round and a constant battleground where different countries' borders met, with ongoing conflicts.
Sure, the Jenkins Group had business there, and the annual profits were also significant.

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....
