Sheena arched an eyebrow, her tone playful.
“Can you really helprelieve stress?”
Elliot nuzzled her soft cheek and said, “I have miraculous powers, more effective than any expensive remedy out
there. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try.”
He leaned in and kissed her red lips.
As they kissed, they ascended the stairs together.
Freida, coming down the stairs, happened to witness the sweet scene and quickly turned around, discreetly
retreating.
Never interrupt a good moment between them!
With the master bedroom door closed behind them, their sounds were muffled, leaving much room for
imagination for others.
In the evening, Sheena finally received a call from Howard.

When she picked up the call, Sheena did not immediately speak, and there was a moment of silence on the other
end before Howard spoke up.
His voice sounded slightly weak from not having eaten for a day and a night.
“Nana, I'm sorry. | was wrong.”
Sheena teased, “Have you really cto your senses?”
Howard hummed in agreement, sounding sincere. “Yes, | acted impulsively. The engagement was publicly
announced and is now set in stone. Even if | offer him 20% of the company’s shares, Romello probably won't
back down.”
Sheena breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you've cto your senses. After reflecting for a day and a
night, do you have any ideas?”
“I need to find a way to see Phoebe and have her publicly acknowledge the reason for the engagement. If she
has truly changed her mind, | won't disturb her anymore. But if it's because of something Romello did to her, I'll
do whatever it takes to take her away.
Sheena sighed.
His plan was only halfway there, and the latter part was too impulsive.
“Now that she’s the Nicholls family heiress. Are you planning to elope by rashly taking her away? Do you think
Romello won't report you to the police?”
Moreover, Romello himself was a police officer, so the response twould be even quicker.
Howard fell silent.
When it cto Phoebe, he found it incredibly difficult to stay rational.
If Romello had truly harmed Phoebe, Howard would feel like going crazy, wanting to shoot Romello,
Both ends of the phone line fell silent as if pondering.
A minute later, Sheena spoke first, “It’s not wise to discuss this over the phone. I'll have the National
Investigation Bureau team withdraw. Cto E&S Haven first, and we'll talk face-to-face.”
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Howard hurried over and knocked on the door.
Lionel and Jacintha also arrived, and the five sat on the sofa, brainstorming solutions.

Yet, as they sat there, the living room fell into a long silence, everyone wearing grave expressions, with no one
speaking first.
It continued until Jacintha broke the silence. “Sheena, this is really difficult to resolve. No matter what, Phoebe is
now a Nicholls. Even if she’s being held captive by Romello, coerced or threatened, as long as he explains it
properly, we'll have a hard tfinding a suitable reason to intervene in the Nicholls family’s affairs, take
Phoebe away, or even persuade Phoebe to break off the engagement with the Santos family.”
Lionel added, “Romello claims that Phoebe is sick, and she’s not even allowed to leave the house. She's even
declining her ongoing jobs. It’s going to be hard to meet her.”
The living room fell into an even deeper silence.
Elliot finally chimed in, “Romello is my subordinate at the National Investigation Bureau. It's not appropriate for
team to search the Nicholls residence and use the opportunity to see
Phoebe.”
With Elliot's position as the head of the National Investigation Bureau, things could indeed be much
easier to resolve.
