Howard stared at Elliot, who was cozying up to Sheena, and silently sighed with a heavy
heart.
Llonel appeared unaffected, even amused by Elliot’s playful demeanor with Sheena.
Jacintha felt a twinge of envy as she observed Elliot’s affectionate behavior toward Sheena, silently sulking and stealing a glance at the emotionally dense Lionel beside her.
Sheena noticed the varled expressions of her guests and offered an awkward smile.
Elliot seemed genuinely upset, leaning his head lightly on her shoulder, seeking comfort as if in distress.
She did not stop him from embracing her, stroking the back of his neck to soothe his Inner turmoil.
“Let’s not dawdle. Everyone is almost here. Let’s get started with the discussion,”
Sheena redirected the conversation.
Lionel quickly assumed a serious tone, saying, “I deliberately looked into Ms. Phoebe’s condition and consulted several psychologists. They all agree that her rapid change
in
mindset and intense stress response doesn’t seem to be triggered by any significant event, especially since it happened in such a short time.”
Jacintha nodded in agreement, commenting, “Yes, so we’re inclined to believe that Romello injected her with some unknown substance.”
As the discussion turned formal, the atmosphere in the living room quickly grew solemn.
Howard pondered deeply before finally speaking up, “I suddenly remembered something
Phoebe mentioned before.”
“What is it?” Sheena inquired. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nana, do you remember when Phoebe returned to the Nicholls residence to find evidence that Nathaniel was an illegitimate child?”
Sheena nodded. “Of course.”
“She said she encountered a terrifying attack on the top floor. Looking back, it seems similar to Phoebe’s condition when she fell ill. At that time, only Vanda lived on the top floor, and Phoebe suspected she was her attacker.”

Upon hearing this, Sheena also recalled something and said, “During the last business gala, Romello brought Phoebe with him. Phoebe asked me about Madam Nicholls’s situation, mentioning that she saw red marks on her wrist while dining. I mentioned this to you when I got back.”
Howard nodded, the memory still fresh in his mind.
The tension in the living room intensified.
Even Elliot, rising from Sheena’s embrace, furrowed his brow and asked sternly, “So, are you suggesting that Romello first imprisoned his own mom, administered drugs to her, and then targeted Phoebe?”
Sheena and Howard appeared grave and nodded in agreement.
Elliot lowered his gaze, concealing the hostility and resentment in his eyes, choosing not to speak further.
The discussion among Sheena’s group continued.
Jacintha chimed in, “If that’s the case, does it mean Romello still has more drugs on
hand?”
Lionel nodded in agreement. “Since he wants to control Vanda, he must continue administering drugs. I remember when we searched the Nicholls residence, the family’s butler reacted strongly to a room on the top floor with iron chains rattling. He adamantly refused to open it, so it might be where Vanda is being held!”
After pondering for a moment, Sheena said, “If that’s the case, let me try contacting Gabrielle again to see if she can help us enter and obtain evidence of the drugs Romello has been administering.”
Jacintha exclaimed, “Sheena, Gabrielle is Romello’s sister after all. Will she really be willing to help us find evidence against her own brother? Remember, this could harm her relationship with him!”
Sheena was not entirely sure about this matter either and lacked confidence.
“Let’s give it a try. Besides Gabrielle, there’s no one else in the Nicholls family we can
trust. With Romello’s recent suspension from the National Investigation Bureau pending investigation, he’s likely to tighten security at the Nicholls residence. We won’t have another chance to search the place.”
The group fell silent.
Charter 941
This seemed to be the only viable option at the moment.
With the discussion reaching its conclusion, Lionel went home with Jacintha, while Howard swapped shifts with Riley to stay overnight and care for Phoebe.
As everyone started to leave, leaving the living room quiet, Elliot scooped Sheena up, hist dark eyes filled with possessiveness.
“What are you doing? Put me down. I’m going to check on the babies on the fourth floor,” Sheena lightly tapped his shoulder, feigning annoyance.
