Chapter 760


    Elliot seized Skye’s wrists, swiftly and skillfully restraining his hands behind his back, ending his


    impending tantrum.


    “I have no ties to the Zimmer family. If you break things, I won’tpensate on your behalf, and I’ll


    even take you to the station to cool off. Want to give it a try?”


    Skye was fuming with rage, but he had no way to vent his anger with Elliot around.


    He relented immediately, “No, I don’t.”


    “Then behave.”


    Elliot released his grip, turned around, and went back to embrace Sheena in the chair.


    He gently exined to her, “We shouldn’t rush to conclusions. Let’s wait for Lionel’s investigation


    results.”


    Sheena, lightly kissing his lips, said, “I only sat for a while, and you’ve already sorted everything out for


    me.”


    Unsatisfied with the brief kiss, Elliot retorted yfully, “Did you finally realize how amazing your fiance


    is?”


    Sheena corrected his wording, “Future husband!”


    “Yes, husband! So, am I impressive or what?” He gazed at Sheena, his tone slightly teasing and his


    face full of expectation for herpliments.


    “Very impressive… and shameless too!” Sheena chuckled.


    In a tender voice, Elliot coaxed, “Nana, if you say the word ‘husband‘ again, I’ll even give you my life.”


    As they continued their sweet talk, Skye, feeling like the third wheel, could not take it anymore. He


    jogged a few steps and walked alongside Elliot.


    “Mr. Jenkins, you’re indeed impressive! Your ability to change your attitude is simply out of this


    world!”


    With a steady tone, Elliot responded, “I have only two attitudes toward people: one for Nana, and the


    other for everyone else.”


    After a brief pause, Elliot added, “Skye, I know you’ve had thoughts about Nana before, but you should


    give up. Compared to me, you won’t measure up. I understand your youthful arrogance. I’ve been


    through that phase as well. But while you’re still young, it’s best to mature and be a man. If you


    continue being irresponsible andzy, you might ruin your life.”


    Skye found himself stunned by Elliot’s lecture. He wanted to retort, but words failed him.


    As a popr young actor with mediocre acting skills, he relied on his good looks to navigate the


    Trapter 260


    entertainment industry. When it came down to it, he had no notable works to showcase.

    Observing his dejected demeanor, Sheena teased with a yful smirk, “Skye, finally admitting defeat?


    Skye remained silent.


    While not particrly harsh, Elliot’s critique carried a strong undertone of insult.


    Skye was on the verge of losing his cool.


    Exiting Bar No. 5 through the staff corridor, Lionel called in with an update.

    “We’ve made some progress. Herman booked a room at the neighboring Bingo Hotelst night. He


    checked out at noon, and the hotel staff and surveince confirmed no issues. The other two


    individuals have no record of booking a room, and everything seems normal.”


    However, the leads suddenly went cold.


    Elliot frowned, and his expression turned serious.


    It seemed like they had overlooked something crucial…
