The sudden news sent the entire crowd of reporters at the courthouse into an uproar.
Mavis and Evan were also left stunned.
Nathaniel had not shown up because he was in a car accident…
Elliot and Lionel exchanged glances, both falling silent.
Soon, the chaos grew louder as reporters scrambled to uncover details about which hospital Nathaniel had been taken to, and the scene outside the courthouse was becoming increasingly chaotic.
Lionel leaned closer to Elliot and whispered, "If this wasn't just a regular traffic accident but a criminal case, Nathaniel's whereabouts must be kept hidden."
Elliot nodded and began organizing things calmly, "Clear out the crowd at the courthouse. As long as the case is under investigation by the National Investigation Bureau, no one is allowed to ask questions until it's ready for public release. Lionel, you're coming with me to the hospital."
Then, he turned to Mavis and added, "We don't have much information yet, so we don't know how serious his injuries are. Do you want to come with us to the hospital?"
Mavis hesitated for a moment.
If Nathaniel's accident happened because he was rushing to get to the courthouse for their divorce, she felt responsible for what had happened.
Besides, they were still legally married.
Ignoring something like this did not sit well with her.
She nodded. "I'll go."
Evan quickly chimed in, "I'll go too."
Elliot glanced at him and firmly shut the idea down, "Unrelated individuals can't come. If there's a breach of any National Investigation Bureau case details, you'll be held accountable."
Evan clearly felt the sting of rejection, his expression turning awkward.

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....
