Chapter 778 Lionel wanted to help explain, but the words were stuck in his throat.

He did not know how to assist Elliot in justifying this, especially when Elliot had willingly given away his shares and entire fortune.

Hence, Lionel could only silently clasp his hands together, praying for Sheena to return quickly and find a way to rescue Elliot from this trouble. Otherwise, Elliot would suffer horribly based on the situation.

The atmosphere turned oppressive and intense.

Santiago's silence and displeased expression indicated his profound anger, leaving everyone on edge.

Stanley, not holding back, continued to add fuel to the fire, “Grandpa, considering the magnitude of his mistake this time, shouldn't he relinquish control? “And he should endure double the punishment. Otherwise, the entire Jenkins family might not accept it!” Santiago still did not speak, his gaze sharp and piercing as he stared at Elliot.

Stanley continued, “He gave away the Jenkins Group shares just to please Sheena. What if she’s unhappy again? Is he going to hand over the entire Jenkins family next time? Should we start calling ourselves Lawsons instead of Jenkins?” The words were harsh, hitting Santiago right in the heart.

The Jenkins family held traditional values and had an ancestral legacy spanning centuries.

Although Elliot elevated the family to the highest position, his actions were now gradually destroying a, fz Suppressing his conflicting emotions, Santiago asked ok “What do you think would be an appropriate punishment?” Grant hesitated for a moment and then said, “If we follow Mr. Stanley’s suggestion of doubling the punishment, which would be... eighty lashes.” The elders in the hall gasped.

Eighty lashes without any leniency meant Elliot could not walk out of the hall standing if he were to go through with it.

For someone with a weaker constitution, it could even be fatal.

Elliot remained expressionless, standing quietly, his face calm as if he were watching someone else's drama.

Santiago was taken aback.

312 After careful consideration, Santiago spoke, “Sheena vahies emotions, She’s not a materialistic child. Eli, if you can retrieve the shares, | might reconsider the severe punishment.” Then, he glanced at the other elders with a subtle signal.

The elders immediately echoed his sentiment, “The young ones are prone to mistakes. As long as there's timely rectification, it's not a significant problem.” Roger also chimed in, “Without Elliot, we wouldn't have what we have today. Elliot has contributed to our family, and he indeed deserves a second chance.” Everyone rallied to speak in Elliot's favor Stanley adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses with a hint of dissatisfaction. However, he understood the situation well enough not to voice any opposition.

Santiago sighed in relief and turned his attention back to Elliot.

“Eli, I'll give you two days. As long as you retrieve the shares, we can consider this incident null and void.” Elliot chuckled. “Grandpa, once a gift is given, there's no way to take it back.” This implied that negotiation was out of the question.

Santiago's expression darkened quickly, and he beceven angrier than before.

He gritted his teeth and angrily stomped his cane.

“How can you be so stubborn? I've been too forgiving with you! It's tyou learnt a lesson! Grant, proceed as usual!” Grant was stunned and hesitated, “But...” Santiago was infuriated. However, he could not bear to witness Elliot's imminent punishment and stood up, ready to leave.

Other elders followed suit.

With a calm and cold expression, Elliot gracefully knelt, unbuttoned his suit, and removed it, revealing a well- built physique.

Growing up in the strict and traditional environment of the Jenkins family, he had no other choice.

The intricately carved sandalwood box emerged once again.

Grant took the dark leather whip from inside and bowed.

Just as Santiago and the others reached the door, it swung open, accompanied by a woman's soft and charming voice.

“Grandpa Santiago, before you start beating him, shouldn't you listen to my explanation as well?”
