Chapter 261
Elijah noticed Ford sighing and asked, “Ford, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Ford hesitated before adding, “Mr. Freeman, I won’t join you upstairs.”
“Alright.” Elijah did not delay and went straight upstairs.
Upon opening the door, Elijah quickly sensed the tense atmosphere and was met with a pair of cold,
murderous eyes.
“Sheena, it’s already 8 p.m. Are you hungry? Has the recent pressure from both companies taken a toll
on you? What’s bothering you?” Elijah’s tone was gentle, with a hint of hope.
Sheena, with a forced smile, waved him over. “Come here, get closer.”
Elijah obediently walked over, standing in front of her. Before he could squat down, Sheena grabbed
his white shirt and forcefully opened it, exposing the bandages wrapped around his waist.
Elijah was startled. “Sheena, you…”
Sheena did not listen to him but continued to cruelly pull apart the thick bandages he had wrapped
around himself. Apart from a long scar on his waist, there were no new wounds.
She mocked, “Weren’t you injured yesterday? Why was the wound scabbed today? I didn’t know you
had a natural healing ability!”
This statement hit Elijah hard. He had already warned Lionel that they would not be able to hide this
matter from Sheena for long!
Sheena, who detested deception, caught him red–handed this time.
Almost instantly, Elijah dropped to his knees at Sheena’s feet and pleaded, “Sheena, I was wrong. I
didn’t mean to deceive you.”
When Elijah used this tone in the past, Sheena knew he was putting on an act but did not bother This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
exposing him. Today, seeing him still resorting to such behavior, she felt nothing but disgust, and her
anger was close to consuming her rationality.
She composed her emotions and asked, “Were you planning to get rid of that person by faking your
injury?”
She was too disgusted to even mention Jennifer’s name.
Elijah was taken aback, thinking Sheena had found out about Colin.
That was quick…
“You already found out everything.”
Since he was caught, Elijah had no intention of hiding anything. “I’m sorry. I just felt that person was
unworthy of you.”
Sheena was stunned that he openly admitted it, acknowledging that he had deceived her during this
time.
“What do you mean by ‘that person was unworthy of me‘?” Sheena clenched her fists, suppressing her
anger. She sneered, “Elijah, you’re really amusing. Are you trying to say that person is not worthy of my
attention? So, you want to send that person away, far away, to a place where I’ll never see them
again?”
Elijah felt her statement was strange, but he could not pinpoint exactly what was odd because, in
essence, he did have such intentions.
Seeing him remain silent, Sheena, holding back her fury, asked, “Where is that person?”
Elijah still did not speak. Lionel had casually sent Colin on an export cargo ship, and who knew which
country he ended up in. Thus, Elijah shook his head.
Even though he was telling the truth, Sheena did not see it that way.
Silence was a form of resistance!
For the last time, Sheena patiently looked down at the man kneeling at her feet. “Elijah, you know me.
Regardless of how much you’ve hidden or whether you can manipulate things outside like a puppet
master, you’re my servant as long as you’re in this house. You should obey me. Even disobedient pets
receive punishment, let alone you. What do you say?”
Her icy gaze looked at him like an unruly pet.
“I’ll ask you one more time. Where is that person?” Elijah raised his head to meet her gaze.
