Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1212

After losing half an hour of surveillance, Stanley mysteriously disappeared from the internal holding cell.

Elliot's expression was especially icy from the moment he entered, suppressing his inner rage.

Peter noticed Elliot's demeanor and laughed heartily.

"Elliot, you've already guessed who did it, yet you still can't believe it?"

Elliot clenched his fists tightly, silently staring at Peter.

Behind them, Sheena noticed Elliot's hands and sighed inaudibly, also guessing who might be behind Stanley's sudden disappearance.

In the quiet cell, tension hung thick in the air.

Yet, Peter ignored Elliot's anger and took another drag of his cigarette, exhaling leisurely.

"With your grandpa's power, he could have made the culprit pay dearly for your parents' death, but he didn't."

He chuckled, continuing, "Not only that, he helped cover it up. He kept you by his side out of guilt! Besides that, he also wanted to groom a successor he could control. Now that you're becoming more unmanageable, he'll naturally find ways to balance you out."

Elliot's expression grew grimmer as he recalled his conversation with Santiago in his room.

Santiago had pretended to be ill to summon him back, and right after Elliot left the National Investigation Bureau, Stanley vanished.

Moreover, Santiago had insiders at the National Investigation Bureau.

Elliot was just investigating it this afternoon, and somehow, this incident happened in the holding cell at night.

Anybody in his position would suspect Santiago.

Yet, Elliot remained silent, listening quietly to Peter's words.

"Elliot, have you already heard his so-called truth from him?" Peter smiled mysteriously.

"Do you think it's believable? I know best about what happened to your parents back then. But I want you to cancel the search for Stanley, and his life or death is none of your concern anymore."

"Be careful. The walls have ears. I still don't feel safe."

Elliot suppressed his impatience and walked over, crouching beside Peter and leaning in close.

Peter rose slightly, leaning in even closer, and whispered the complete opposite truth to Elliot than what Santiago had claimed.

Elliot listened intently, his expression growing more solemn with each word.

He immediately countered, "That's impossible."

Peter scoffed. "What's impossible about it? All these years, you've only noticed me treating you like a threat, but you're unaware of his role in the family. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."

Elliot's face was grave as if he were still digesting the starkly contrasting truth Peter had just presented.

While he was lost in thought, Peter quietly reached behind his back.

Slowly, he retrieved a dagger from where he had been sitting, staring at Elliot with a hint of murderous intent.
