Compared to Leon’s matter, Lionel was more concerned about Elijah. He knew about Elijah being
drugged and tortured in the basement by Sheena.
“Mr. Freeman, it’s only been a few days since I last saw you, but you’ve been through quite a lot. Let’s
go back and stop suffering this kind of treatment in Farlem.”
Lionel helped Elijah back onto the bed, and the signs of recent abuse gradually faded from his pale
face. Elijah responded, “Sure. You can stay in Farlem and help me win back my wife. I’ll go back.”
Lionel stayed silent. After all, he was well aware that Sheena was a woman not easily messed with,
with a fiery temper and a ruthless streak. Lionel simply could not handle that!
A while later, Lionel chuckled and said, “Well, Mr. Freeman, take your time pursuing her. Whenever you
feel tired, we can talk. No rush, no rush.”
Elijah nodded. His usual cold and stern expression returned as he continued, “As for Leon, I don’t care

“Yes, Mr. Freeman. You can trust me.”
After finishing their conversation, Lionel pressed the call button at the bedside, summoning the nurse to
administer a new IV for Elijah.
This time, Elijah did not refuse. His earlier reluctance was just an excuse since he did not see Shena
when he woke up. However, now that Shena had spoken, he had to follow her instructions and take
care of his recovery.
Leon, due to his good looks and muscular physique, was quite favored by the leader among the male
inmates. Compared to Jennifer’s situation, he had a relatively comfortable time, enduring some
hardship only during showers and at night. At least, he was not starving, sleeping in the restroom, or
facing beatings all the time.
Unbeknownst to him, his calm and comfortable days were about to end…
The Butterflies, an all–girl talent show created by Angle Group, was finally reaching its climax. For the
last filming session, Sheena opted for a more innovative approach. Besides inviting a thousand lucky
audience members for an immersive experience in the venue, holding two votes each to support the
girls, she also decided to livestream the final selection nationwide, allowing the entire country to
witness the event and participate in supporting the contestants.
With just ten minutes left before the final selection program began, Sheena felt a bit nervous
backstage. It was her first time independently organizing such a talent show, and if successful, it could
boost Angle Group’s stock market value by at least three percent.

enthusiasm either.
Skye made a grand entrance, capturing the audience’s attention with his sunny and handsome
appearance. However, the crowd noticed he did not take the highest seat at the specially invited
mentor’s bench.
Was there someone even more influential than Skye?
Amid the audience’s surprise, the host revealed the next guest–Howard. The man had dominated half
of the entertainment industry. Even though he was not a celebrity, he held a mysterious and powerful
presence in showbiz.
With Howard’s entrance, more than half of the live audience stood up, expressing their excitement
through cheers and applause, even more enthusiastically than for Skye. However, even Howard did not
sit in the centermost position of the mentor’s bench.
