Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 936

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 time isn’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 for me in the garage. I’ll go in and come out 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.
