    Chapter 1041


    The officer was caught off guard by Elliot’s reply, ncing at Neil.


    After all, Paulo was not only Neil’s esteemed guest but also an earl from Ouna.


    While the officer was surprised that Elliot suspected Paulo, he dared not say anything, nor did he dare to ask, silently jotting


    down the statement.


    Neil remained expressionless, seeming to have anticipated this situation when Sheena kept asking about Paulo.


    The officer continued, “Our department will thoroughly investigate your primary suspect. However, we still hope you can exin


    why you suspect Mr. Karl?”


    Elliot''s tone turned icy as he replied, “Our rtionship has always been strained. Yesterday, | happened to encounter him and


    Anne while out shopping. He openly questioned Nana’s coboration with Dorvell Corporation, demanding that she hand over


    the cooperation rights to him. When | refused and taunted him, he might have felt cornered and sought to


    harm’us.


    The officer jotted down every


    detail.


    “Understood. I''ll inform the chief of your suspicions and initiate an investigation.”


    Neil had been quietly listening nearby.


    Once the officer left, he said, “I know Paulo’s temperament. It’s hard to believe he would resort to such despicable acts over a


    minor dispute. Perhaps... there’s a misunderstanding


    here?”


    Elliot''s expression remained unchanged. “Maybe he wouldn’t, but someone could be influencing him. As you mentioned, he


    genuinely cares for this new girlfriend. Perhaps he was manipted. However, these are just my spections and suspicions.


    We need concrete evidence before drawing conclusions.”


    Neil nodded in agreement with thetter part of Elliot''s statement.


    “You might want to stay put for a few days until this matter is resolved. It’s best not to attract any more unwanted attention. I''ll


    increase security at the hotel discreetly.”


    “Alright.” Elliot had no reason to refuse.


    They could not possibly leave at such a critical juncture. However, with Sheena injured,


    hey needed to retum home promptly so Yosef could examine her.


    He added. “This must be resolved as soon as possible.”


    Nell assured, “Don’t worry, I''ll put all of my focus on this case and keep an eye on the police, making sure they give us an


    answer soon.”


    Elliot carefully carried sleeping Sheena, nning to take her back to the hotel to rest.


    Before leaving, he remembered something and cautioned Neil, “Keep the news of our attack under wraps for now. We can’t


    afford any international headlines, as it might disrupt diplomatic rtions between our countries. You understand the stakes.”


    “That’s for sure. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, | would’ve kept the news under wraps.”


    Elliot left the police station without saying another word, carrying Sheena.


    To prevent them from encountering danger on their way back, Neil arranged for an armed police vehicle to escort them home.


    Several police officers apanied them for protection, forming a rather formidable


    sight.


    After all, not many fools would dare to mess with a police convoy.


    Safely arriving at the hotel’s presidential suite, the police officers orderly helped Elliot with his luggage.


    The police officers were dressed in ck uniforms, standing there like a statue with a

    Elliot tucked Sheena in the bed


    before instructing them, “No need to


    stand guard outside. the doo e


    just goin tg attrannitintion, and

    frightened when they see you. Hide


    downstairs in the hotel and leave


    your leader''s phone number with me.


    If anything happens, I''ll instruct you


    directly.” Please read the original

    “Yes, Mr. Jenkins.”


    One of the police officers stepped forward, leaving his phone number with Elliot before


    departing with the rest of the team.


    The hallway quickly returned to its peaceful atmosphere.


    Elliot locked the door behind him and returned to Sheena’s side.


    Watching her sleep, he could not shake off the gullt for her gunshot wound and the Injury to her head.


    He sat by the bed, keeping vigil for two hours straight.


    Elliot ordered room service at lunchtime, selecting a few light yet tasteful dishes.


    During this time, Sheena never once woke up.


    After Elliotid the food on the table, she was still sleeping deeply, showing no sign of waking up.
