Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1202

Stanley was truly on the brink of being driven insane.

It had only been two days, yet the experience would likely haunt him for a lifetime.

Peter pondered how to find a way to get Elliot to release Stanley before 10 p.m. so he could confess and negotiate peacefully.

When the officer came to deliver water, Peter did not drink a sip, leaving every drop for Stanley.

Stanley did not hesitate and drank it all. After all, he had been thirsty and hungry for so long that he could not stand it anymore.

On the other hand, Peter had only gone a day without eating or drinking, so he was still fine.

…

During the afternoon, Elliot stayed in his office dealing with business matters.

He was not in a rush, having plenty of time to wear down Peter and Stanley.

However, the officer who knocked on his door and entered did not bring news about Peter.

"Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Grant Burrell from the Jenkins estate just paid a visit. He mentioned that Old Man Jenkins couldn't reach you on the phone, so he sent Mr. Burrell over."

Elliot was surprised by the sudden visit at such a critical moment.

"Did he mention the reason for his visit?"

The officer shook his head and replied, "No, but based on Mr. Burrell's expression, it's not a trivial matter."

Elliot glanced at his watch and noted that it was already 4 p.m., six hours before his final deadline with Peter.

"Alright, bring him to my office."

"Yes, Mr. Jenkins."

The officer left, and a few minutes later, he returned with Grant.

His expression clearly indicated that he had come specifically for these two troublemakers.

Elliot's tone turned cold as he emphasized, "Grandpa has retired and no longer interferes with official affairs. The faults committed by Peter and Stanley now fall under the jurisdiction of the National Investigation Bureau. It's strictly business, devoid of any personal or familial relations. Uncle Grant, please tell Grandpa not to meddle in this matter anymore."

Grant sighed. "Mr. Jenkins, I understand you harbor resentment toward Mr. Stanley for hurting Old Man Jenkins, but even he doesn't care about it. Why push it so stubbornly?"

"It's a matter of principle," Elliot replied firmly, refusing to yield.

Grant continued persuasively, "Old Man Jenkins has only you and Mr. Stanley as his grandsons. Previously, he helped you with the succession to the title, which already displeased Mr. Peter and Mr. Stanley. Old Man Jenkins feels indebted and can't bear to see one grandson thriving while the other suffers."

Elliot furrowed his brow slightly and remained silent.

Grant pressed on, "Mr. Jenkins, Old Man Jenkins suggests that if you must punish Mr. Stanley, thirty lashes would be sufficient. There's no need to send him to a high-security prison. After all, he's your cousin by blood, and it's unnecessary to subject him to such torment."

Elliot changed his tone, saying, "If Grandpa is willing to tell me the truth about my parents' death in the car accident years ago, then I might consider whether to spare Peter and Stanley."
