Chapter 548

Lionel finally realized he had misunderstood Elliot’s intention. He thought Elliot was intentionally courting trouble.

It turned out Elliot genuinely wanted to keep it from Sheena!

In contrast to Elliot’s rage, Sheena smiled warmly.

“Don’t be afraid. You confessed well. With me around, feel free to speak boldly.”

However, Lionel, realizing he had erred and harmed Elliot, did not feel as confident as before. He needed to consider carefully how to make amends. Otherwise, he might be in serious trouble.

If Elliot erupted in anger, Sheena’s pardon might not be enough to save him!

After pondering for a while, Lionel spoke sincerely, “Ms. Sheena, Mr. Jenkins was wrong to hide it from you, but he truly remembered the schedule you customized. He never intended to actually smoke.”

“He’s been taking medication three times a day. Those pills are bitter, and an overdose can cause loss of appetite and nausea. He just wanted a way to ease the discomfort after taking the medicine. He simply used the wrong method.”

Lionel’s detailed explanation was heartfelt, and Elliot’s gloomy expression gradually softened as he finally heard some comforting words from Lionel.

With an unreadable expression, Sheena left them guessing whether she believed him or not.

Lionel cautiously added, “Ms. Sheena, don’t be angry with Mr. Jenkins, please?”

After all, with an outsider present, Sheena refrained from mentioning Elliot’s earlier attempt to deceive her.
