Chapter 79
Jennifer became anxious and quickly changed into a set of dark clothing. She then donned a mask and
hailed a taxi to head straight to the designated location.
Elijah emerged from the shower, but the image of Sheena’s dance performance remained stuck in his
mind. He felt a bit annoyed. If he had known he would end up so tired, he would not have helped her in
the first place.
While lying in his bed, all he could think about was Sheena’s face, especially her clear and determined
eyes.
It was almost like he had seen them before.
As if struck by a thought, Elijah wrestled with his feelings before calling Sheena.
There were a few things he wanted to clarify.
However, Sheena did not answer the first call, and the second call indicated that her phone was out of
the service area.
Was she avoiding him?
Feeling inexplicably irritated, Elijah tossed his phone aside and went to sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJennifer arrived at the abandoned cabin and saw Aster waiting at the door.
Jennifer was shocked to find the injuries on Aster’s face and body. She asked, “What happened? Why
are you hurt so badly?”
Aster lowered her head, hiding her expression. “On the way here, that woman fought back desperately.
We had a minor car accident, and I lost control for a moment. Perhaps I injected too much of the drug,
she…”
“Let me take a look.”
Aster stopped her. “Are you alone? Does Ms. Upton know?”
Jennifer’s face darkened instantly, showing extreme displeasure.
Normally, Katie took advantage of her higher status and acted arrogantly. Hence, Jennifer was
annoyed that Katie’s subordinates were questioning her authority despite Katie having gone back to
Svelton.
Her relationship with Katie was one of cooperation, not boss and subordinate.
Why should she have to report everything to Katie?
The more Jennifer thought about it, the angrier she became. Then, she glared at Aster and said, “Katie
brought you here for this task. Since she’s not in Farlem, you only need to follow my orders. Do you
understand?”
Aster lowered her head even further. “Understood.”
“You can leave now that your task is done.”
“Yes, Ms. Moore,” Aster responded promptly but remained standing in place outside the abandoned
cabin. The flickering kerosene lamp outside barely illuminated her bloodied face, making it hard to
discern her expression.
Jennifer grew impatient seeing Aster standing there like a statue. Annoyed, she mocked, “Are you
stupid? Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
Before she left, Aster passed a phone to Jennifer and said, “This is the woman’s phone. Someone
called her just now. I was afraid that it would affect your plan, so I put it on airplane mode.”
“Got it.”
After Aster left, Jennifer opened Sheena’s phone and glanced at the incoming call’s number. She

number it was.
Why was Elijah calling Sheena at this hour?
Jennifer had to initiate contact with him ever since she had returned to the country, and Elijah had
never been so considerate toward her.
Why?
She was the fiancee, and Sheena was the homewrecker intruding into their relationship!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Jennifer became, and she could not hide her
resentment.
Jennifer raised Sheena’s phone in anger, wanting to smash it to pieces. However, she stopped midway
as a brilliant idea flashed through her mind.
Then, she sent a message to Elijah using Sheena’s phone.
After that, she slammed the phone on the ground forcefully. Seemingly unsatisfied, she
brutally stomped on it with her high heels until the screen shattered completely.
