“I–I’m not…”
Elliot’s tone instantly lost its force.
Nonetheless, Sheena did not plan to make it hard for Elliot. Hence, she redirected her focus to Lionel, asking calmly, “Lionel, be honest with me. Did Elliot smoke today?”
Lionel hesitated, glancing at Elliot beside him.

before throwing it away.”
Sheena crossed her hands before her and glanced at the two men.
It seemed she was not entirely convinced.
“Lionel, don’t be afraid. Withhere, as long as you’re telling the truth, I guarantee Elliot won’t dare to harm you.”
With Sheena’s assurance, Lionel breathed a sigh of relief, raising his right hand as if making a solemn
oath.

“Good.” Sheena nodded, seemingly convinced.
Elliot let out a breath of relief.
However, before he could fully relax, Sheena continued questioning, “What about the cigarettes in the
drawer?”
“Mr. Jenkins askedto buy them for him this afternoon and toldto hide them all in a drawer.”
Sheena noticed a crucial detail, narrowing her eyes.
“Hide?”
Lionel nodded. “Mr. Jenkins said you’re busy during the day and rarely check the drawers. He asked
Sheena chuckled, casting a meaningful glance at Elliot.
“Oh, so that’s the plan. To avoid my discovery.”
Elliot was raging inwardly.
The more Lionel explained, the deeper he dug himself.
It was almost impossible to clear his nat this point!
Glaring fiercely at Lionel, Elliot gritted his teeth and warned him, “I told you to confess, not to narrate every single word I said before! You’re here to clear my name!”
Lionel finally grasped the situation.
