    Chapter 547


    Lionel was about to arrive, and Sheena did not want Elliot to lose his dignified presence and respect in


    front of others. Hence, she gestured toward the small sofa nearby.


    “Sit there.”


    Elliot remained unmoved, angrily lowering his head.


    Concerned about his tendency for angina, Sheena quickly patted his cheek, soothing his emotions


    gently.


    “Be a good boy and take a seat. You might clear your name soon.”


    Only then did Elliot restrain his raging emotions and sat on the adjacent sofa.


    Fifteen minutester, Lionel rushed in.


    The chilling and intimidating atmosphere in the living room made him shiver as soon as he entered.


    Seeing the cigarettes on the coffee table, he knew what was happening.


    His well–thought–out n worked brilliantly!


    Elliot was caught red–handed so quickly.


    He stood behind the coffee table, feeling a bit delighted.


    Moreover, Elliot was even smiling at him!


    Suppressing his internal fury for Sheena’s sake, Elliot calmly said, “Nana saw the cigarettes you left in

    the drawer. You better exin to her honestly. If you dare utter a single lie, I’ll carry you to the


    interrogation room tomorrow with a polygraph and a taser!”


    So ruthless!


    Why was it not following the script he had anticipated?


    Was Elliot not looking forward to being punished?


    Should he not be happy?


    Lionel was stunned, too scared to utter a word.


    Frowning, Sheena red at Elliot and asked, “Why are you threatening him?”


    “I–I’m not…”


    Elliot’s tone instantly lost its force.


    Nheless, Sheena did not n to make it hard for Elliot. Hence, she redirected her focus to Lionel,


    asking calmly, “Lionel, be honest with me. Did Elliot smoke today?”


    Lionel hesitated, ncing at Elliot beside him.

    Elliot yfully reminded, “Taser.”


    Lionel shuddered and replied, “He didn’t smoke! Mr. Jenkins asked for a cigarette and just smelled it


    before throwing it away.”


    Sheena crossed her hands before her and nced at the two men.


    It seemed she was not entirely convinced.


    “Lionel, don’t be afraid. With me here, as long as you’re telling the truth, I guarantee Elliot won’t dare to


    harm you.”


    With Sheena’s assurance, Lionel breathed a sigh of relief, raising his right hand as if making a solemn


    oath.


    “Ms. Sheena, I promise every word I say is absolutely true!”


    “Good.” Sheena nodded, seemingly convinced.


    Elliot let out a breath of relief.


    However, before he could fully rx, Sheena continued questioning, “What about the cigarettes in the


    drawer?”


    “Mr. Jenkins asked me to buy them for him this afternoon and told me to hide them all in a drawer.”


    Sheena noticed a crucial detail, narrowing her eyes.


    “Hide?”


    Lionel nodded. “Mr. Jenkins said you’re busy during the day and rarely check the drawers. He asked


    me to find a corner drawer to stash them away so you wouldn’t notice.”


    Sheena chuckled, casting a meaningful nce at Elliot.


    “Oh, so that’s the n. To avoid my discovery.”


    Elliot was raging inwardly.


    The more Lionel exined, the deeper he dug himself.


    It was almost impossible to clear his name at this point!


    ring fiercely at Lionel, Elliot gritted his teeth and warned him, “I told you to confess, not to narrate


    every single word I said before! You’re here to clear my name!”


    Lionel finally grasped the situation.
