Chapter 431
Elliot let out a gentle sigh, recalling John’s words and feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt.
“Hurry, I’ve made her suffer for the past six months. I need to give her something back so I don’t feel indebted to her.”
Lionel hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back. He believed Elliot owed nothing to Sheena anymore, yet he knew Elliot’s love for Sheena was boundless, and he would go to any lengths to win her favor.
Lionel genuinely felt sorry for Elliot but found himself powerless to change the situation.
When Sheena woke up, she immediately checked for any visible marks on her body. She also noticed the neatly folded blanket on the small sofa, which suggested that Elliot had not taken advantage of the situation.
Sheena was surprised that he was willing to compromise and sleep on the sofa. He seemed to be a virtuous and restrained man, quite different from the rumors she had heard about him.
She still remembered the events from last night before passing out, but it was a blur as she had quite a few drinks.
The whole situation with Elliot was suspicious, and she needed to investigate further.
Upon learning of Santiago’s invitation to breakfast, she initially declined but eventually decided to go, considering Elliot’s matter.
At the dining table, seizing an opportunity between conversations with Santiago, she subtly brought up the topic.
“Grandpa Santiago, I heard that Elliot only returned six months ago. I saw him in person last night, and he’s quite handsome. Why are there rumors about him being ugly?”
Santiago remained composed. “After establishing himself in Svelton, he attracted too many socialites. He didn’t like it, so he intentionally let rumors spread.”
“Oh, I see.” Sheena smiled, then continued, “Has he always looked like this?”
“Of course,” Santiago replied naturally, looking at Sheena in confusion.
Sheena smiled even brighter. “I just find Elliot so handsome. I wanted to see if there are any pictures of him from before.”
“There’s actually none. He really hates taking photos.”

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
