Chapter 936

The office was unusually quiet, with Elliot engrossed in his work while Romello could almost hear the sound of his sweat dripping onto the floor in crisp tapping sounds.

There were only five minutes left on the timer.

Romello controlled his dizzying head, eagerly anticipating when the timer reached zero.

However, as the timer counted down to the final three minutes, it got stuck at 2:59.

Romello initially thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but even after blinking and looking again, it remained at 2:59.

What was going on?

Romello glanced at Elliot behind the desk, who was completely absorbed in his work, not once looking in Romello’s direction.

“Mr. Jenkins,” Romello called out.

Elliot, cunning as ever, ignored Romello and continued his work without saying a word.

After enduring a few more minutes, the timer still stubbornly displayed three minutes.

Romello felt a hint of panic and could not help but speak up again.

“Mr. Jenkins, it seems like this timer is broken.”

“Broken?” Elliot raised an eyebrow slightly, not bothering to glance at the timer.

“If the timer’s broken and the tisn’t accurate, should I get another one and restart the countdown?”

Romello stayed silent, his arms and legs trembling.

It had been many years since he had witnessed Elliot’s cunning tactics, and he had not expected them to be so ruthless.

Elliot seemed to sense Romello’s discontent and teased, “Can’t handle it? Well, you can resign from your position as deputy chief and leave the National Investigation Bureau, returning to your cozy nest at the Nicholls family right away.”

Being asked to resign voluntarily?

Romello’s heart turned cold, replying, “Mr. Jenkins, you’re right to discipline me. I’ll

reflect on myself and commit to exercising diligently in the future, never slacking off.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Elliot once again opened the drawer, took out the timer, set the time, and placed it where Romello could see it clearly.

The torment and torture continued.

Phoebe remained unconscious from the two sedatives injected last night until this

afternoon.

Sheena and Howard took Elliot’s access cards and brought the unconscious Phoebe to the

lab.

Shortly after they left, Gabrielle arrived at the Jenkins estate.

Two bodyguards trailed closely behind her, making her feel uneasy.

“Enough! This is the Jenkins estate. I won’t be in any danger. You two wait forin the garage. I’ll go in and cout in a moment.”

The two bodyguards remained unmoved.

“Ms. Gabrielle, Mr. Romello ordered us to ensure your safety. It’ll be difficult for us to explain things if something happens to you after leaving our sights.”

Gabrielle glared back at them in annoyance. Nonetheless, she feared Romello’s authority and said nothing.

She navigated through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate until she reached E&S

Haven.

Ford, stationed at the entrance, informed her, “Ms. Gabrielle, Ms. Lawson and Mr. Jenkins have both gone out.

“Where did they go?”

Ford shook his head.

“I don’t know, miss.”

“Did they say when they’ll be back?”

Ford shook his head again.

“Ms. Lawson didn’t say.”

“Fine.”

Gabrielle felt relieved and turned to the two bodyguards.

“You heard that, right? It’s not that I’m not proactive. It’s just that Sheena isn’t here, so I can’t do anything.”

As she turned to leave, the two bodyguards stopped her and said cautiously, “Ms. Gabrielle, your purpose for coming here was to visit Ms. Phoebe. You should inquire about Ms. Phoebe’s whereabouts.”
