Chapter 17

‘Was it Howard?‘ Elijah wondered.

Elijah frowned and instructed Leon coldly, “Keep looking. Send someone to check on Howard too. As soon as you find anything, notify me immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Lawson.” Leon nodded, though his expression seemed reluctant.

Seeing that Leon was still there, Elijah was puzzled. “Why are you still here? Is there anything else to report?”

Leon was in a dilemma. He knew it might anger Elijah, but he could not hold back.

“You’re getting harder to understand these days. You’ve already divorced, yet you’re still concerned about Ms. Sheena while neglecting Ms. Moore, who truly deserves your attention. What’s on your mind?”

Elijah grabbed the glass ashtray from the table and threw it at Leon’s feet.

“Get out!”

Leon wisely stepped back.

Elijah lit two more cigarettes.

Feeling a little hungry, he got up and opened the fridge, which was filled with all the foods he loved.
