Jennifer was stunned.
Why did Ell look at her like that? Did he find out something?
Back at her table, Sheena noticed Skye was about to look for her and was relieved that she finally
came out.
“Sheena, what took you so long?”
“What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Sheena asked, noticing the concern in his expression.
“Howard sent someone to find you. He said there’s progress on the investigation you asked him to look

After finishing their meal, Elijah escorted Jennifer back to her hotel room.
As she looked at the cold and empty room, Jennifer hesitated and held Elijah’s hand, pouting, Eli, since

“Ell! I knew you…” Jennifer exclaimed, filled with joy. However, her delight turned to disappointment as
she looked up and realized it was not Elijah, but Leon instead.

something urgently.”
“Go ahead.”
Seeing her trying to put on a brave smile, Leon felt even more sympathetic and asked gently,” Last
night, Ms. Sheena was attacked by a group of thugs while driving home. It was very dangerous. Do you

“What? Is Sheena okay?”
“She’s fine. Mr. Freeman happened to be there and dealt with the thugs. However, he asked me to find

Jennifer seemed relieved. “That’s good to hear.”
However, she quickly grasped Leon’s implication and looked at him in disbelief. “Are you asking if I sent
someone to harm Sheena?”
