CHAPTER 1122 PROVOCATION (4)

Chapter 1122 Provocation (4)

At ten in the morning, Elliot arrived at the company. As he entered the lobby, a little boy followed in.

Perhaps because Sean was so small, no one noticed him. Even the receptionist didn't see him and let him follow Elliot inside. If anyone did notice, they would assume he was an employee's child.

Sean managed to find a spot where he could see Elliot from the lobby and grinned mischievously.

Elliot was standing by the elevator door. The elevator opened quickly since it was his private elevator. Sean smiled as he watched Elliot step inside before pressing a button on a small device in his hand.

The elevator suddenly shook violently as it ascended before coming to an abrupt stop.

"What's going on?"

With the CEO's private elevator losing power, the sound of buttons being pressed in the company's technical department was constant, but no one dared to speak. That's because their CEO, Mr. Harper, stood there expressionless, staring intently at the monitor's screen.

On the other side, the assistant inside the elevator, despite being mentally prepared, was still startled by the sudden stop. He patted his chest and looked at the pitch-black elevator, trembling with fear. Then, he remembered that Mr. Harper had arranged everything outside already. He relaxed and took out his phone.

It turned out that it wasn't Elliot who was stuck in there but rather one of his assistants instead. And Elliot had entered the technical department earlier to closely monitor the situation within the company. He observed everything from every angle, leaving no blind spots in his surveillance.

He suspected that the person behind all those tricks surely had another card up their sleeve. He didn't know the exact purpose of their actions but had a vague feeling that the individual who appeared at the meeting yesterday had something to do with it.

"Quickly track down the culprit," With his emotions concealed, Elliot calmly issued the command. Under the urgent search by the technical staff, the target was located in a corner of the company's lobby.

Observing the bustling lobby, Elliot immediately contacted the security at the entrance. "Until I arrive in the lobby, no one is allowed to leave the company."

Immediately, he turned his gaze towards the specific individual identified by the technical staff. In the moment he saw the person's face clearly, his pupils constricted significantly. In the depths of his eyes, there was a mixture of disbelief and confusion.

He didn't have time to think about anything else. With a long stride, he walked out of the technical department and quickly headed towards the lobby. Sean was laughing triumphantly in the lobby, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the front desk. The employee at the front desk answered a phone call and then led someone to the elevator door. He knew that his "gift" for Elliot today had been successfully delivered.

During this time, he went to an employee and asked for a glass of water. After drinking it slowly, he was ready to leave when suddenly a pair of long legs appeared in front of him, casting a shadow over him completely.

Sean looked up but couldn't see clearly due to backlighting on Elliot's face. "Uncle, you're blocking my way," he said.

When Elliot saw Sean's appearance on surveillance footage, he felt shocked. Now that he saw what this little boy really looked like with his own eyes, his mind became dizzy for a moment as he remembered yesterday's warning from someone during the meeting. Although it sounded nonsensical, upon careful consideration, that action were somewhat childish and boring.

He had thought that the one behind yesterday's incident was just a child but dismissed that idea immediately without giving it much thought. Now the one who appeared before him was indeed a little boy who looked five or six years old.

Moreover, this child looked exactly like Rose's daughter Leah! However Leah was female while this little child was male!

Elliot's expression darkened, and he

suddenly grabbed the back of the boy's collar, lifting him up to eye level, ignoring the child's struggles. They locked eyes, and Elliot didn't miss a single emotion displayed on the boy's face.

And Sean never expected himself being caught by such an awful father like Elliot!

'How did Elliot know I was here? Did he find out my doing?'

It shouldn't be possible! There should be no trace left behind...

"You! Let me go! Put me down!" Sean suppressed his initial panic and began to struggle. His words were filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards Elliot. "You're a bad person! Why are you holding me? Let me go!"

"What's your name?" Elliot asked in a low voice, allowing Sean to struggle. After all, a child his size wouldn't be able to break free from his grip. Sean waved his little fists, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach Elliot, and he felt pain in his neck from being held like that. He shouted with a childlike voice, "I won't tell you!"

The surrounding employees were stunned, watching the scene of Elliot grappling with a little boy. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Elliot lifted the child and sat them down on the nearby sofa, not letting go of the boy even as he sat down himself. He kept the child close to him, not allowing any space between them.

"What is your relationship with Leah?

Or rather, are you her elder or younger brother?" Elliot's face had returned to calmness. At first sight of Sean, he couldn't believe it. After all, Rose had never told him that she had a twin son in addition to a daughter.

Rose has given birth to two children!

"I'm not telling you! I won't tell you! You scumbag, let me go!" Sean glared at Elliot with anger and frustration, thrashing about with his arms and legs, but he couldn't break free from Elliot's grip. "Let me go now!"

As he looked at the appearance of this child, Elliot's eyelids twitched fiercely.

This looked familiar.

She acted like this before.

"Rose is your mother? Who is your father?"

Elliot suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued speaking, even though the little boy didn't answer his question at all.

"I don't know! You're so annoying!" Sean gritted his teeth, feeling angry and frustrated that his scumbag dad would treat him like this.

Seeing no way out, Sean decided to change tactics. Instead of struggling to break free, he inched closer and took a bite at Elliot's hand that was holding him. His teeth met Elliot's wrist bone, causing pain, and Elliot immediately released him. Sean began to cry, tears streaming down his face as he whimpered, "It hurts so much..."

Elliot glanced at the small tooth mark on his wrist, and the anger he had been holding back was about to burst out. But looking at the tearful little faceCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

in front of him, all his anger unconsciously dissipated.

"Okay, stop crying now." He comforted in a low voice, loosened his grip on the child's hand, but still assured that the child was within his control.
