Chapter 924
Chapter 924 It seemed that Elliot was growing more attentive and thoughtful. Sheena was delighted, smiling as she turned to see Howard's expression, which had Indeed Improved considerably.
Then, she steered the conversation back. “Howard, there’s a chance that Phoebe might be slightly mentally unwell and require medical attention. Since Romello will surely be watching closely, we need to find a way to restore her sanity as soon as possible.
“Once she’s somewhat recovered, we'll have to send her to the National Investigation Burean for a proper evaluation by a certified mental health professional. Only then can we uncover what Romello has done to her and nail him for his crimes.
Howard nodded, expressing no objections.
Sheena went on, “Furthermore, | suggest that during this time, Phoebe stays at E&S Haven.”
On this point, Howard did not immediately agree.
“Nana, can | take her back home to care for her? It seems like she... doesn’t recognize me anymore...”
His heart was filled with guilt, especially seeing Phoebe tortured by Romello to such an extent; it pained him deeply. If he could not do something personally for Phoebe, he would feel suffocated by guilt.
Sheena understood his concerns, knowing that he was desperate to make amends for the harm Phoebe had suffered. Yet, the circumstances did not allow it.
She explained logically, “That's not possible, Howard. Romello will surely take action to evade responsibility. If he knows Phoebe is here, considering Elliot is his superior, he might not say anything, but bringing Phoebe back to your place would likely cause trouble as soon as he finds out.”
Moreover, Phoebe’s engagement with the Santos family was technically still valid, making her Wayne’s fiancee.
Hence, Howard had no reason to keep Phoebe at his own mansion in a situation where it would be just the two of them. It would only cause further trouble if Romello discovered that.
Even if the Santos family were to cancel the engagement, Howard and Phoebe’s
relationship was never made official to the public, and it would be inappropriate for her to stay at Howard’s.
Yet, it was different at E&S Haven. Sheena and Phoebe were close friends after all.
For once, Howard was relatively rational. He understood Sheena’s intentions and compromised.
“Alright, then... Can | perhaps trouble you all for a few days?”
Sheena glanced at Elliot, who was also looking at her.
Their eyes met, and they did not answer immediately.
Howard realized his request was too sudden, adding, “I won't just be a freeloader. | can help Elliot with household chores, cooking, and even paying ten times the market rate for accommodation and meals.”
Sheena chuckled. “Howard, you're so funny! It’s perfectly normal for a brother to visit his sister for a few days. There’s no need to pay,”
No, | have to. Elliot works hard cooking and doing chores, and now he has to do extra since there are two more people here.” Elliot just looked on silently.
The atmosphere in the living room gradually became harmonious as the arrangements. for Phoebe’s stay were mostly settled. Sheena asked another question, “How’s the situation with the Santos family?”
Howard replied, “I’ve given Wayne a day to consider. He should give a response tomorrow morning. If all goes well, it should be good news.".
“That's good to hear.” Sheena mM nodded, euing od lonGsigh ot relief. Bledse read the original

It was Jacintha!
Jacintha’s cries for help echoed from upstairs, “Lionel! Mr. Jenkins, hurry! She’s so frightening! | can’t control her!” Chapter 924
Howard jumped to his feet and dashed upstairs, with sheena, Elliot, and the others following quickly.
Upon entering the guest room, Howard was hit with the pungent smell of blood.
Jacintha lay limp on the carpet beneath the bed, and the pristine white sheets were stained with a deep red hue. Howard followed the blood trail and saw Phoebe’s actions.
His heart skipped a beat, gasping in shock.
