Sheena understood his meaning and looked at Elijah, delivering a stern lecture, “Mr. Nicholls is my guest. Are you trying to provoke me by offending him the moment he arrives? It seems I’ve indulged you too much recently, and you’ve forgotten who the real master is.”
She glanced outside the mansion, her voice becoming serious as she shouted, “John, Sawyer, get in here!”
John and Sawyer quickly entered the living room.
She wore an indifferent expression, not even sparing a glance for Elijah. “Take him to the basement for some serious reflection. He stays there until I say otherwise.”
John and Sawyer exchanged glances, stunned.
Elijah frowned, his face exuding a chilling aura. However, his gaze revealed that he was hurt by her remark. “You’re punishing me for him?”
Only then did Sheena turn her attention to him, sneering. “What else? Nate and I go way back. I’ve admired him since childhood. While I harbored some resentment before, I’ve let go of the past. As for you, I gave you a chance to terminate your employment contract, but you stubbornly clung on.”
“If you can’t handle the pressure, then leave! Do you really think you have a place in my eyes?”
Sheena’s words were like sharp knives, cutting deep into Elijah’s heart. The pain made it difficult for him to breathe. Although he knew about her plan, hearing these hurtful words still stung, and he felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Elijah was aware that Sheena no longer held any feelings for him.
So, was she deliberately using Nathaniel’s situation to tell him the harsh truth?
His eyes reddened slightly, and his voice choked as he spoke, “I know I’ve made mistakes in the past, but with everything I’ve done for you now, aren’t you moved even a little?”
Sheena remained silent, noticing Elijah was getting teary–eyed, a vulnerability that surprised her.
He was truly an Oscar–worthy actor!
He managed to tear up so effortlessly.
Elijah’s earnest tears caught Sheena off guard for a moment. She looked away, maintaining her cold and expressionless demeanor.
“Considering the injuries you suffered for me, I’ve held back. However, you’ve only escalated things and even offended Nate. I won’t spare you! John, Sawyer! Immediately lock him up!”
With Sheena issuing the command for the second time, John and Sawyer reluctantly approached to escort Elijah away.

Elijah shoved them aside, growling, “I won’t admit what I did was wrong. You just want me gone? Fine! I’m leaving!”
He turned and walked out of the mansion without looking back, and his eyes were bloodshot and
hostile.
John and Sawyer, bewildered, turned to Sheena for guidance. “Miss, what just happened?”
“Let him go.”
“Understood.”

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