Chapter 255

The two of them finally headed to the quiet and secure escape corridor inside the building. Lionel and Colin’s assistant took their positions on either side of the escape corridor.
Colin casually leaned on the railing of the escape corridor, asking, “What do you want to say?”
Elijah stared at him intensely, his expression ice–cold. “If Katie and Sheena can’t get along in the future, who would you choose?”
Colin pondered momentarily and replied, “It won’t happen because Katie already knows Sheena’s identity. As long as Katie cares about Howard, she won’t pick a fight with Sheena again.”
“Are you sure?” Elijah sneered. “From what I know, Howard and Katie’s engagement has been on hold for two years. They still haven’t married because Howard hasn’t given the green light. Recently, Howard wanted to break off the engagement, and your dad persuaded him not to.”
“And what does that have to do with anything?” Colin was confused.
“You know Sheena well. Katie has harmed her, and she did not hold back, using ruthless means to
hurt Sheena. Sheena will never get along with Katie in this lifetime, and Katie is not someone who can
tolerate losses. So, between your sister and Sheena, you can only choose one.”
Colin felt a bit annoyed. “What’s the problem? Can’t I have both? I’ll talk to them and resolve their
issues.”
Elijah chuckled. “You don’t really like Sheena that much, and you’re just fooling yourself. Katie will eventually get married, but your hesitation in this situation meant you’re not worthy of Sheena.”
“Oh, please. You’re the one who can’t match up to her. Since you signed that agreement with her, your chances of remarriage have been non–existent.”
Elijah shrugged indifferently. “If we don’t remarry, so be it. At least I can protect her in a different way. Before she completely rejects me, I must choose a man who truly loves and cares for her, but you’re definitely not that man.’

Colin’s expression softened at those words. “That man you’re talking about is me! We are well–suited in every aspect, and I’ve been secretly in love with her for many years. I wouldn’t mind that she’s divorced, so how am I unworthy of her? How many men can compare to me?”
Elijah frowned, giving him several scrutinizing looks. The fact that he brought up the term “divorced “showed that he did care about it deep down. He was deceiving himself into loving Sheena, convincing himself he must win her over.
Seeing Elijah’s silence, Colin sincerely shared his joy. “You probably don’t know yet, but she has
already agreed to have dinner with me alone in three days. I plan to surprise her that day, and she’ll accept my proposal. As for you, you’ll never have a chance!”
Colin looked at Elijah, obviously provoking him.

Elijah’s anger surged, and he grabbed Colin’s collar, warning him with a low voice, “Aren’t you tired of pretending? I suspect you had ulterior motives from the beginning of your friendship with her. Stay away from her!”
Colin shrugged off Elijah’s hand dismissively. “Do you really think you can stop me?”
Indeed, the engagement between Howard and Katie was uncertain. However, the alliance between the Upton and Lawson families was an inevitable trend. Moreover, Colin genuinely liked Sheena, so marrying her would be a win–win situation.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
