Chapter 582
Since Santiago gave the approval, Elliot turned and walked away.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Colin called out to him, “Mr. Jenkins, are you not going to compromise? I admit my mistake in this matter, but there’s been no harm to you or the Jenkins family. It hasn’t tarnished Sheena’s reputation either. Can’t you let go of the grudge against the Upton family? Can’t we cto an understanding?”
“Am I required to forgive you just because you apologized? I don’t recall having such a rule to live by.”
Elliot scoffed and left the room.
Angered by his dismissive attitude, Ron could only instruct Colin in a mild tone, “Go talk to Elliot privately. Have a civil conversation, and don’t be too aggressive. I’ll have a chat with Mr. Santiago Jenkins.”
“Alright. “Colin nodded and immediately followed Elliot outside.
It was drizzling, but Colin did not bother with an umbrella as he ran toward Elliot.
“Mr. Jenkins!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot did not turn around, Lionel assisted him with the umbrella, and they continued walking.
Unable to make headway, Colin changed his tone, “If you’re so bothered bycalling her nthat day, why aren’t you bothered that she’s been married before? It’s not her first teither!”
Noticing that Elliot showed a slight reaction to his words, Colin caught up to him and continued, Regardless of whether you genuinely like her, it’s not wise to sever all ties with the Upton family over
her.”
“Although we’re going through tough times now, our foundation is still strong. Weathering through this crisis is just a matter of time. Why not extend a helping hand to the Upton family? Isn’t mutual benefit a good thing?”
Elliot narrowed his eyes, radiating danger.
Instead of an immediate answer, he called out, “Lionel.
Lionel understood his intention and handed him the umbrella, then stepped forward, delivering at powerful punch to Colin’s face.
Colin was no match for Lionel’s strength, falling to the ground with a swollen mouth and two loose
molars.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, puzzled. “What was that for?”
Elliot, umbrella in one hand, lazily tucked the other into the pocket of his wool coat, casting a disdainful glance at him.

“Colin, it’s best to steer clear whenever you see me. Otherwise, every tI see you, I’ll make sure to give you a beating.”
“Why? Is it because I said a few not–so–nice things about Sheena?”
Elliot frowned, overwhelmed with rage.
Lionel understood his intent, delivering a vicious kick to Colin’s stomach.
Colin let out a howl, clutching his abdomen and curled up in pain.
Elliot enjoyed Colin’s suffering, and the rage in his eyes calmed slightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Extend a helping hand to the Upton family? Mutual benefit? Hah! The Upton family will never have such a chance anymore. Such scum aspiring to be on par with my Jenkins family, one of the four major families? What a disgrace! Not only that, but you still dare to dream of getting your family back to how it was before?”
Colin retorted angrily, “Elliot, act all high and mighty you want now, but the higher you get, the harder you fall! I’ll be waiting for that day!”
Elliot did not argue. Instead, he reached out to Lionel for money.
Lionel pulled out a wallet, counting the bills, only for Elliot to snatch it away.
Glancing briefly, he noticed that there was not much money inside, totaling just a few thousand dollars. However, it was more than enough for the currently struggling Upton family.
He pulled out the bills and tossed them all at Colin.
The bills scattered on the ground, quickly dampened by the rain–soaked earth.
“This is for the medical expenses. If you think it’s too little, go to the Jenkins Group and ask the finance department to settle your medical bills. Don’t say I’m not taking responsibility for beating
you up.”
After leaving a sarcastic remark, Elliot walked away.
Lionel slyly leaned in, chuckled, and said, “Mr. Jenkins, the way you just threw money around is
starting to resemble Ms. Sheena more and more! Is this similar behavior because of your strong bond
with each other?”
