Chapter 317
The two men swiftly got to work, moving so efficiently that it was hard to determine who was ahead. Sheena, unfamiliar with firearm assembly, found herself dazzled by the rapid actions. However, her gaze remained fixed on Elijah.
He was too composed. Despite claiming minimal experience, Elijah’s skilled actions suggested muscle memory. It was impossible to rival Nathaniel in firearm assembly without years of practice.
Sheena stared at Elijah, her expression growing increasingly serious.
On the other side, Nathaniel sensed Sheena’s unwavering attention on Elijah, never once on himself. As they reached the final piece, he deliberately paused for half a second. In that brief moment, Elijah had already completed the assembly, raising the gun with a cold determination, targeting Nathaniel’s forehead, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Sheena noticed his actions, almost instantly shouting, “Elijah, don’t!”
Elijah hesitated, but he did not move.
“Put it down, that’s an order!”
Across from him, Nathaniel’s gaze was provocative.
Elijah bit his lip, the command sending a shiver through him, an unbearable pain piercing his entire body. After a brief struggle, he reluctantly lowered the gun, his face pale with defeat. Nathaniel, however, grinned. “Congratulations, you won the game but lost her. I told you. You’re just a pet who obeys commands. It’s time for you to step aside.”
Elijah looked down, his eyes vacant and lifeless, his limbs ice–cold.
Nathaniel then shifted his attention to Sheena, speaking joyfully, “Nana, I knew it. Though you may resist me verbally, you still care for me deep down. Let’s stop all this fighting, alright?
Sheena glanced at Elijah, then at the coffee table where Nathaniel had failed to assemble the final piece. In an instant, she understood Nathaniel had employed a little trick
She looked at Nathaniel, coldly stating, “You’re mistaken. I just don’t want to see bloodshed.
had assembled the gun first, I would’ve stopped you from killing him just the same.”
If you
Nathaniel’s expression gradually froze.
Sheena continued, “If I had to choose between you and him, I’d choose Elijah.”
With their one–year contract ending, Sheena had Elijah’s assurance that they would not cross paths again, and she even had it recorded on her phone.
However, Nathaniel was a different case. If she could not completely sever his intense possessiveness and obsession, it would only bring her a heap of trouble.
Nathaniel was more difficult to handle than Elijah!
“Nana, I know you’re still angry with me…” Nathaniel started.
Sheena cut in, “I let go of that anger years ago. Besides, you and I are never going to be

together.”
She looked at Elijah, a seductive smile playing on her lips as her slender fingers beckoned him. “Come over, sit on my lap.”
Both men were taken aback.
Under the enchanting spell of Sheena’s beautiful eyes, Elijah got up and walked over. Sheena pulled him and made him sit on her legs.
