Wait, She’s a Billionaire

The officer was caught off guard by Elliot’s reply, glancing 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 explain why you suspect Mr. Karl?”

Elliot’s tone turned icy as he replied, “Our relationship has always been strained. Yesterday, I happened to encounter him and Anne while out shopping. He openly questioned Nana’s collaboration with Dorvell Corporation, demanding that she hand over the cooperation rights to him. When I 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?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

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 manipulated. However, these are just my speculations and suspicions. We need concrete evidence before drawing conclusions.”

Neil nodded in agreement with the latter 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, planning 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 relations between our countries. You understand the stakes.”

“That’s for sure. Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I 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 accompanied 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 black uniforms, standing there like a statue with a

blank expression.

Their presence could definitely scare anyone.

Elliot tucked Sheena in the bed before instructing them, “No need to stand guard outside. the door. You’re just going to attract attention, and people passing by will be easily 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.”

“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 Elliot laid the food on the table, she was still sleeping deeply, showing no sign of waking up.
