Chapter 116: Chapter 116

Serena Yeats finished her washing up, sat on the bed, and kept wondering where Elias Lancaster had gone and why he hadn’t come back yet.

Meanwhile, Elias Lancaster was on his way to the base with Ronan Keaton. After getting out of the car, he walked into the training base, passed through several layers of security gates, and went through multiple rounds of facial recognition.

Only then did he arrive at the designated place under Ronan Keaton’s guidance.

He followed Ronan Keaton into a darkened room with no expression on his face, exuding an aura of hostility.

The room wasn’t crowded, with only a few people standing guard.

As soon as they saw the visitors, they immediately greeted respectfully, "Master Lancaster, Young Master Keaton."

Elias Lancaster was terrifyingly cold!

One of them said, "Master Lancaster, Young Master Keaton, he’s barely alive."

"Hmm." Cillian Lancaster’s gaze fell on the person tied up before him.

At this moment, the person’s face was swollen, covered in bruises, and one could only imagine the kind of treatment they had endured these days.

This person was that photographer from the other day, and also Elias Lancaster’s nemesis—Zane Shaw.

The Shaw Family was merely nouveau riche; they didn’t understand business at all. They wanted Elias Lancaster to invest, so they sent their daughter to Elias Lancaster’s bed.

They even dared to drug Elias Lancaster. It was because of that drugging that Elias Lancaster met Serena Yeats and spent a night with her...

At that time, considering his loved ones and children, he didn’t end him, but only caused his company to go bankrupt and spiraled into debt.

But he hadn’t expected that his mercy would cause his loved ones to suffer such harm.

Thinking of the thick bandage on his loved one’s head, his expression grew even darker.

This person deserved death.

In the past few days, he hadn’t had the time to deal with it, as he needed to be with his loved ones. But now that he had the time, he needed to see it personally.

Letting her just die like that would be too merciful and wouldn’t ease the hatred in his heart.

He raised his foot to step forward.

But Ronan Keaton stopped him.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let him off easy. You shouldn’t get involved; Serena wouldn’t like it."

Elias Lancaster took it to heart and withdrew his foot.

"You’ve seen him, now you should go back; it’s already late. Otherwise, Serena might not be happy when she can’t see you later."

Encouraging Elias Lancaster to leave, Ronan Keaton feared he might act, not wanting him to stain his hands with this matter.

It’s not beneficial for Serena Keaton or the two children.

Some things, he could handle himself.

Elias Lancaster acknowledged.

But he stood there without moving.

Ronan Keaton naturally understood what he wanted to do.

He signaled his men to wake the man. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

A subordinate brought a bucket of ice water and splashed it directly onto Zane Shaw.

As the ice water hit, Zane Shaw immediately woke up, his gaze somewhat blank, having hovered between life and death in recent days.

They even called a doctor to keep him alive, which dulled his mind.

When he realized who was in front of him, he couldn’t even muster the strength to scream, only looking at the visitors in terror.

He never expected to fall into Elias Lancaster’s hands. He only remembered drugging him in an attempt to send his own daughter to his bed.

Yet Elias had his daughter sent to Southea instead and directly caused his company to go bankrupt, leading to his complete ruin.

Ever since arriving here, he had suffered immeasurably, enduring inhumane torments daily.

He only resented himself for not being able to die sooner, for having to continue enduring such pain. If he died, he wouldn’t face this suffering anymore.

"Young Master Keaton, you can proceed." The subordinate spoke when they saw Zane Shaw was awake.

Zane Shaw’s eyes were so swollen he could barely see, but he struggled to see Ronan Keaton holding a wooden stick.

Was he going to avenge that woman?

Would he find relief?

Elias Lancaster, you’ll get your comeuppance sooner or later!

He thought with hatred.

At this moment, Elias Lancaster was slowly approaching him step by step.

With Elias Lancaster nearing, his whole body began to tremble.

He didn’t know what kind of torture awaited, but he knew that this man would not let him go.

At the thought, he shook his head.

Fear filled his eyes.

But no one present intended to spare him.

Elias Lancaster looked down at him, coldly saying, "President Shaw, long time no see."

Zane Shaw, frightened by his words, wet himself, a pungent smell lingering in the air.

If there were a regret pill in this world, he would never have provoked this man!

He didn’t want to be tortured any longer; he only wished for a swift end.

But no one would listen to him, and no one would help him. Everyone here was a devilish presence.

"Give me a swift end..." Zane Shaw whispered.

Pain like dismemberment filled his body.

To Elias Lancaster, it was like hearing the funniest joke in the world.

He laughed coldly, "What do you think?"

How could he possibly give him a swift end!

If he did, even if his loved ones could forgive, he himself could not.

His loved ones could not suffer in vain.

Zane Shaw knew it was impossible, but he had to try for himself.

He lowered his head, quietly waiting.

Ronan Keaton raised the wooden stick in his hand and swung it with ease.

With that blow, Zane Shaw’s leg broke.

He let out a painful scream, his hands and feet bound, able only to let the pain invade every nerve.

Elias Lancaster turned and walked out.

While walking out, the air was filled with his painful cries.

When Elias Lancaster returned to the Keaton home, it was already late at night.

He opened Serena Keaton’s room door, walking softly towards the bed.

Seeing the person on the bed and the two children, his expression softened.

He leaned down to kiss her, then kissed the two children, before turning and leaving the room.

He then went to the nursery, where the nanny told him his loved ones missed him and couldn’t sleep, and had just gone to the room with the children not long ago.

He was delighted that his loved ones missed him.

Elias Lancaster got up, washed up, and went to Serena Keaton’s room. Seeing the sleeping mother and two children, his affectionate gaze was locked on Serena Keaton.

Serena Keaton opened her eyes and saw Elias Lancaster.

The emptiness in her heart was instantly filled.

She sat up and hugged Elias Lancaster’s waist. "Uncle, where did you go?"

Elias Lancaster hugged her, "My dear, did you miss me?"

Realizing she might have been too forward, Serena Keaton let go and stepped back.

Elias Lancaster held her tight by the waist, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

"Did you miss me?" Elias asked again.

Serena Keaton nodded, her face instantly turning rosy.

"Next time you go out, remember to tell me. The babies missed you."

"Oh~ the babies missed me too?" Elias teased.
