Chapter 1049
Individuals unrted to the case…
The chief’s expression froze, and he lowered his gaze, awkwardly touching the tip of his
nose.
“No. I’ve been dealing with the heinous attack you experienced, Mr. Jenkins. I haven’t met with anyone
else recently.”
Sheena caught his demeanor and exchanged nces with Elliot.
“Alright, since you say so, I don’t have any issues.”
The chief thought it was a close call, and he let out a silent sigh of relief as he stood in front of the
ckboard, wiping the thinyer of sweat from his forehead with a tissue.
Neil escorted Sheena and Elliot out of the police department.
As they walked down the corridor, he asked, “The perpetrator who struck Ms. Lawson’s head has been
undergoing interrogation for the past few days. Do you want to go check on
him?”
Sheena shook her head. “No need. Mr. Gray, just instruct the department to handle it seriously. Elliot
and I have been stranded in Ardolisia for too long, and we haven’t seen our babies back home for a
while. We want to return to our country.”
“Alright.” Neil nodded understandingly, then turned to Elliot. “Mr. Jenkins, do you still want to bring this
perpetrator back to Froania for interrogation?”
Elliot wrapped his arm around Sheena’s waist, supporting her as they walked.
“Since Nana said to let you handle it, there’s no need for that. They’re just Ardolisia locals, not the
mastermind. It’s too much trouble to request cross–border handling for such small
fry.”
Neil nodded repeatedly.
“Mr. Jenkins, rest assured. Although the truck or has Ardolisia citizenship now, I’ll
ensure he receives proper medical treatment. If he recovers, he won’t escape his
punishment.”
Elliot shrugged indifferently. “He’s just a scapegoat dragged out at thest minute.”
Nell Was stunned.
As a royal heir, he naturally understood Elliot’s implications but remained silent, wearing a emilie.
Exiting the police department and boarding the armored vehicle back to the hotel, Elliot nced back.
“Nell, your police department’s chief isn’t on your side. Such people might hinder your path to inheriting
the royal throne. Be careful.”
With that, he helped Sheena into the vehicle and followed suit.
As the door mmed shut, Neil was left pale–faced.
He watched as the armored vehicle gradually disappeared, then quietly called the deputy
chief of the police department.
“Check who the chief has been meeting recently and keep it discreet.”
Back in the armored vehicle, Sheena and Elliot remained silent all the way back to their hotel room as
police officers were with them.
It was not until the door to the presidential suite closed behind them that Elliot spoke up.
“From the chief’s subtle expressions today, whoever he’s been meeting must hold considerable status
to provoke such a reaction. My guess is it’s either Paulo or Anne.”
Sheena met his gaze with a slight smile. “Funny, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”
He tightened his grip around Sheena’s waist and asked, “So, what’s the n, Honey?”
“First, we’ll head back home. As for business matters, I n to y hardball, snatch Paulo’s
businesses, intercept Anne’s coborations, and as for the other grudges, given their special statuses,
we’ll retaliate one at a time.”
Elliot kissed her forehead. “I’m all in.”
Sheena had bandages on the back of her head, so she could not shower.
Elliot carried her to the bathroom dry area and personally wrung out a hot towel, gently wiping her
body.
Later, they both went to bed after freshening up.
However, In the middle of the night, Sheena slept restlessly, feeling a dull pain at the back of her head,
Her eyelids felt heavy, and she could not open them fully.
She clenched her fists tightly, a restless anger burning in her chest.
She wanted to vent her rage, to draw blood…
“Nana, what’s wrong?”
Elliot was hugging her to sleep. As a light sleeper, he immediately woke up when he felt her spine
suddenly tense.
He turned on the bedsidemp and observed Sheena’s condition.
“Where does it hurt?”
Sheena’s muddled thoughts gradually cleared.
She tried to speak but could not produce any sound, and she could not move her body.
It felt eerie, just like sleep paralysis.

After struggling for a while, she quickly exhausted herself and fell into a deep sleep.
Elliot checked her breathing, feeling it gradually stabilize.
Assuming she was just having a nightmare, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The two embraced and peacefully got through the rest of the night.
The next morning, they got up, packed their bags again, and were personally escorted to the airport by
the police department’s armored vehicle.
