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

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!
