Chapter 487
Over at the Jenkins Group, Elliot had just stepped into his office when Lionel enthusiastically barged
1. in.
“Mr. Jenkins, you
striding in like a force of nature today. Last night’s exploits must have been quite something, huh?”
Lionel rubbed his hands together, grinning.
A force of nature?
After almost an hour of kneeling on the washboard, Elliot’s knees were still swollen and bruised.
Indeed, he had to walk faster to get over it quickly.
Elliot’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, his expression unreadable.
However, he seemed to be… smiling?
Lionel was taken aback. It was the first time he had seen Elliot wear such a peculiar expression-
somewhere between anger and good mood?

Breaking his usual routine, Elliot wore all–black leather gloves today. Removing the gloves, he
presented his left palm to Lionel, his deep voice betraying no emotion.
“How do you think the battle went?”
Lionel looked at Elliot’s left hand, and as soon as his eyes met the swollen, purplish bruises on the
palm, he was shocked to the core.
Was he… beaten by Sheena again?
With hands this swollen, the beating must have been ruthless!
Sheena was indeed a fierce one…
Lionel became anxious, already imagining how Elliot had followed his instructions the previous night
and how brutal the outcome must have been.
With Elliot’s cruel and vengeful nature, he probably could not accept defeat and made sure to drag
someone down with him.
Damn it!
Lionel thought he would be rewarded, but it seemed he had walked into a trap!
Lionel’s legs gave way. He knelt at Elliot’s feet and clutched Elliot’s right leg, a desolate expression on
his face.
Due to a lack of convincing acting skills, he could not manage to shed tears, so he resorted to yelling.
“Mr. Jenkins! I’m sorry! It was wrong of me to give you those bad ideas. It’s all my fault! I’m willing

to accept any punishment! You can temporarily suspend me,
Elliot stared at Lionel from above, smiling playfully as he asked, “Who said I’m going to punish you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Huh?” Lionel’s mournful features froze instantly, looking somewhat comical. His face filled with
confusion as he asked, “You’re not going to punish me? Could it be that you’re breaking new ground
and giving me a raise?”
“Yes, a raise,” Elliot said with a steady tone, sounding entirely truthful.
Although Lionel’s’ill–conceived ideas led to Elliot getting a beating, they also provided him with a good
start. Last night, not only did he and Sheena have their moment of intimacy, but he also successfully
established the three rules with Sheena. Additionally, the tricky issue with Albert was
resolved.
Hence, Lionel was not just in the clear. He even deserved credit!
Unaware of Elliot’s true motives, Lionel widened his eyes in astonishment, deeply suspicious as he
looked at him.
Was Elliot knocked senseless from the beating?
Or perhaps… did he have a penchant for being submissive?
Did Sheena’s beatings fuel his enthusiasm?
