Chapter 428
Taking advantage of Elliot’s intense pain, Sheena swiftly removed his mask.
When their eyes met, the air seemed to stagnate for a moment. Sheena stared at his face in shock. Except for the eyes, almost all of his facial features had changed, bearing only a few resemblances to Elijah, noticeable upon closer inspection.
Yet, Elliot’s gaze and subtle movements could not deceive her.
He was unmistakably Elijah!
“Why is your face different? Are you wearing a skin mask?” Sheena harshly tugged at his face,
attempting to unveil his disguise.
Elliot restrained her small hand, his tone serious. “It’s different because I’m Elliot Jenkins, and I always have been Elliot!”
“I don’t believe you! Did you get plastic surgery? Thinking a new face would fool me? If you have the guts, gouge out your eyeballs and replace them!” Sheena seethed with anger.
Unfortunately, apart from the similarity, she could not find any favorable proof on Elliot’s face.
Recalling Elijah’s severe burns and whip marks on his back before the incident, she broke free from
his grip and directly started removing his clothes.

“Shut up! Turn around! If you’re not guilty, let me check!”
“Fine, go ahead and check.”
Elliot raised his hands halfway, allowing her to investigate.

Sheena sat there, dazed, disappointment overwhelming her.
Gradually, her rationality returned.
Elijah was dead, and Sheena had witnessed his burial. Moreover, Elijah and Elliot came from vastly different family backgrounds, making a connection between the two seem highly improbable.
Her heart throbbed with pain, feeling the despair of thinking something was regained, only to lose it

once again, washed over her.
However, in Elliot’s presence, she forcibly held back her tears.
“I mistook you for someone else,” Sheena uttered.
Elliot quietly exhaled, turning to find Sheena appeared sad.

Tentatively, he asked, “Ms. Lawson, did you mistake me for your ex–husband just now? It seems like you still have feelings for him?”
Sheena pursed her lips, offering no response and ignoring him. Rising from her seat, she returned to the sofa, grabbed the half–empty bottle of red wine from the table, and poured it directly into her
mouth.
“Ms. Lawson!” Elliot grabbed the wine bottle from her. “Drinking like this is not good for your health.

“Our engagement will be canceled sooner or later, Mr. Jenkins. Mind your own business,” Sheena said indifferently, opening another bottle of red wine.
Elliot snatched it from her again. “If you want to drink, I’ll accompany you.
