Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1217

Grant's face paled for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and steered the conversation back.

"Even though it's been many years since the incident, it brought immense sorrow to the entire Jenkins family. While I'm not clear on the details of the accident or the exact truth behind it, I know that Mr. Peter and Mr. Roger couldn't have been at the scene."

Sheena observed his expression, continuing her questioning.

"Uncle Grant, do you know where Uncle Peter and Uncle Roger were at that time?"

In response to her question, Grant stared at her firmly, saying, "They were with Old Man Jenkins, right by his side. Mr. Peter and Mr. Roger were with Old Man Jenkins when they heard the tragic news about Mr. Jenkins's parents' accident. I was there too, beside Old Man Jenkins. I remember that moment vividly."

Sheena sighed, shaking her head with disappointment.

Grant seemed puzzled, asking, "Mrs. Jenkins, what's the matter? Don't you trust me?"

"I can't trust anyone completely when there are contradictions between your testimony, Grandpa's, Uncle Peter's, and the evidence I've gathered. Someone must be lying."

Grant lowered his gaze, remaining silent.

Sheena took a step closer, lowering her voice as she added, "Or perhaps, apart from the evidence, all living persons are lying, trying to conceal the real truth."

Grant's eyes widened, but he kept his head down, saying nothing.

Sheena sighed and gently patted Grant's shoulder, speaking to him with sincerity.

"Uncle Grant, on the night Uncle Peter revealed this to Elliot, Uncle Roger left Svelton on a business trip. You said neither of them knew the truth about the car accident, but you were actually looking out for them and helping them hide the truth."

"Mrs. Jenkins, I…" Grant attempted to defend himself, but Sheena interrupted.

Though unpleasant, every word she spoke was true.

Seeing a hint of vulnerability in Grant's demeanor, Sheena pressed on. "Uncle Grant, they're unwilling to speak, but you can help the Jenkins family, Uncle Roger, Grandpa, and Elliot. Don't worry. Even if you speak the truth, Grandpa won't blame you."

Grant hesitated, struggling to find the courage to speak up.

However, a servant from the mansion interrupted them before he could.

"Mr. Burrell, Old Man Jenkins is awake and asking for you," the servant informed.

Grant snapped back to present and replied, "Alright, I'll escort Mrs. Jenkins to the door and be there in five minutes."

After giving Sheena a respectful nod, the servant departed.
