Chapter 478
Lionel glanced around, avoiding directly debunking him.
Elliot’s expression turned stern. If he let these rumors continue, even the fake ones might become reality. He needed to find a way to restore his authority as a man in Sheena’s eyes!
“Do you have any good ideas?” Elliot asked.
Lionel looked bewildered. “Mr. Jenkins, what do you mean?”
“Albert wantsto discipline Sheena properly, turning her into an obedient wife. Otherwise, he might reconsider our engagement. Think of ways to helpestablish authority with Sheena,” Elliot explained.
Lionel was shocked, frowning at the seemingly impossible task considering Sheena’s personality. Yet, seeing Elliot’s earnest expression, Lionel paced around the office, brainstorming ideas.
“I’ve got it! Mr. Jenkins, wait for me!” Lionel hurriedly left the office.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFive minutes later, he returned with a sturdy wooden ruler and handed it to Elliot.
“When women don’t behave, you’ve got to discipline them properly. Since it’s about discipline and teaching, we need something to establish authority. Create a few household rules, and who knows, it might just work!”
Elliot examined the thick ruler with a long face. It looked like it would hurt quite a bit, especially if applied to Sheena. Besides, what if she got scared away?
He shot Lionel a cold glance. “Are you suggesting I punish her with this?”
“No need for real hits. Just put on a fierce expression and shout at her a bit. Many women secretly appreciate a domineering and forceful man. What if she falls for it?” Lionel suggested.
Elliot stared at the ruler in his hand, lost in thought. The night before, he had softly scolded Sheena in the living room before heading to the Lawson family dinner. Surprisingly, Sheena burst into tears, looking delicate and vulnerable. He had never seriously scolded her before.
Maybe she could fall for it?
Lionel continued, “Just give it a try. If it doesn’t work or seems to backfire, quickly admit your mistake, sincerely apologize, and move on. This whole thing will blow over just like that.”
Elliot contemplated carefully, deciding that when he got htonight after work, he would find an opportunity to give it a shot–the trials of married life!
As the end of the workday approached, Sheena began packing up in anticipation of Elliot’s arrival to pick her up. Moreover, a surprise gift she had customized for Elliot had just arrived. Tonight, she planned to find an opportunity to unveil it.

Suddenly, Wendy knocked on the door, wearing a worried expression.
“Ms. Lawson, something big has happened!”
Sheena stopped packing and asked, “What happened?”
“Today, Phoebe didn’t attend the group activity. Her manager just found out that she quietly went to South Lake and attempted suicide by jumping into the lake!”
“What!” Sheena jood up abruptly from her chair. “Where is she? Is she dead?”
“Thankfully, no. They found her in time. She’s already been rushed to the hospital. But when she jumped, quite a few people passing by likely witnessed it. The Butterflies, the group she’s part of, is currently gaining popularity. If news of her suicide attempt gets out, the impact on us will be huge!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor a top idol group like The Butterflies, negative news and public discussion could create a significant backlash, affecting the other members as well.
Sheena calmly analyzed the situation after sitting back in her office chair. “Retrieve all the surveillance footage from the surroundings, arrange for the PR team to swiftly locate all pedestrians and offer compensation to keep them silent. If there are any recorded videos, delete them. Additionally, contact the major media outlets with substantial influence. If any of them plan to report on this, block it immediately.”
Wendy raised concerns, “But, Ms. Lawson, there are blind spots in the surveillance, and finding all pedestrians will take considerable tand effort.”
“Try your best to locate them and minimize the severity of the situation. If that’s not enough, follow my instructions later. We’ll adapt as needed.”
“Yes, Ms. Lawson.”
“Providewith Phoebe’s hospital address.”
“Okay, Ms. Lawson.”
Upon receiving Phoebe’s hospital location, Sheena immediately hailed a taxi.
Phoebe had been through hardships, and Sheena believed she would not resort to suicide unless something extremely serious had happened. The situation unfolded suddenly, and Sheena, in her haste, forgot to send a message to Elliot, who was on his way to pick her up.
